Summary
When Kirksey was drafted in 2014 the organization saw him as their middle linebacker of the future. For the first two years he worked at that position in a two down role. In 2016 Kirksey got his first opportunity to work as a three down middle backer. He made the most of the opportunity by impressing both on the field and in the box scores. That year he finished at 96-52-2.5. In 2017 injuries caused a shuffle at linebacker that saw Joe Schobert emerge as the man in the middle while Kirksey settled in as a three down weak side backer. Once again his numbers were strong and landed him among the top 10 fantasy options at the position. Kirksey was banged up in 2018 battling ankle and shoulder injuries early in the season then landing on IR after a week nine hamstring pull. All the ailments have healed so it should be business as usual in 2019. (May 15)FBG Staff Rankings
