Multiple reports say Jaguars WR Christian Kirk is expected to need surgery for a core-muscle injury he suffered on the first play of Monday night's loss to the Bengals. Zay Jones gets a boost in Kirk's absence, but he must also contend with QB Trevor Lawrence's injury and a challenging matchup with the Browns and Ravens the next two games. Rookie WR Parker Washington also came out of nowhere for a 6-61-1 receiving line against the Bengals after Kirk's injury.

• Jaguars WR Christian Kirk is expected to need surgery for a core-muscle injury and will likely miss the rest of the year.
• Zay Jones gets a boost in Kirk's absence, but he has a challenging matchup with the Browns and Ravens in the next two games.
• Rookie WR Parker Washington had a solid performance in Week 14 and could be relevant in PPR leagues while Kirk is out.
