Blake Bortles Has Forgettable Week 3

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles was relatively ineffective in Jacksonville's 9-6 loss to the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, finishing with 155 passing yards on 21-for-34 passing. He added 27 rushing yards on five carries. It was a rough day for the Jaguars offensively, who play the Jets next Sunday. Bortles should have an easier time […]

Leonard Fournette Not Expected To Play In Week 3

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) is not expected to play in Sunday's meeting with the Tennessee Titans. The team is being careful with their star running back and will once again turn to the combination of T.J. Yeldon and Corey Grant to man the position. Yeldon could have some success against the Titans […]

Week 3 Busts - Overvalued Players to Avoid In Fantasy Football

Through two weeks of the NFL season, my hit rate on projecting non-quarterback busts has been pretty strong, but when it comes to predicting which quarterbacks would struggles...man, it's been tough. Ryan Fitzpatrick in Week 2 and Patrick Mahomes in Week 1... Still, it's Week 3, and we're starting to get some better data to […]

Sleeping in Seattle - Is Russell Wilson No Longer a QB1?

The thing about writing a "bold predictions" article is that you're essentially going 20 percent on data and 80 percent on gut instincts, so when I wrote a few weeks ago that Russell Wilson would finish outside of the top 10 at the quarterback position I definitely felt like there was a chance of it […]

Tape Don't Lie - Breaking Down Keelan Cole's Week 2 Performance

Hey! Welcome back to "Tape Don't Lie," the weekly column where I look at the film and the analytics of a surprising performer from the previous week and try to come to conclusions about his value moving forward! Last week I looked at Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay, who in Week 2 became the first […]

Austin Seferian-Jenkins A Risky Week 3 Play

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins caught a touchdown in Week 2, but with just 48 receiving yards through two games, he's better left out of fantasy lineups. This week, Seferian-Jenkins gets a matchup with the Tennessee Titans, who have allowed just four catches for 51 yards to tight ends during the 2018 season. Tennessee […]

Donte Moncrief Has Deep-League Potential

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Donte Moncrief actually leads the team in targets through two games despite struggling to turn those opportunities into production. Moncrief has just 48 receiving yards on the season, but he managed to find the end zone in Week 2 and his target share makes him an intriguing flex option in deep, […]

Dede Westbrook Has Upside In Week 3

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook may be a bit of a risky play against the Titans in Week 3 after finishing in a three-way tie for fourth on the team in targets in Week 2, but a juicy matchup against Tennessee's shaky passing defense gives Westbrook upside, especially in deeper leagues where his chances […]

Keelan Cole Has Immense Upside In Week 3

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Keelan Cole is coming off one of the best games of his career, catching seven passes for 116 yards and a touchdown in a win over New England. He'll look to keep that rolling against one of the worst fantasy defenses against the wide receiver position in Week 3. The Tennessee […]

Blake Bortles Has Chance To Shine Against Titans

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles struggled some in his team's Week 1 victory over the Giants, but in Week 2 Bortles found his stride, passing for 377 yards, four touchdowns, and an interception. This week, he gets a home matchup against the Titans, who allowed 310 passing yards and 44 rushing yards to Texans quarterback […]

Will Fuller In Tough Position In Week 3

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller returned from a hamstring injury in Week 2 and put up a strong outing, finishing with eight catches for 113 yards and a touchdown. He should find life a little tougher against the New York Giants in Week 3, though, as their defense has yet to allow a wide […]

DeAndre Hopkins Remains Must-Start Against Giants

Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins has a permanent place in fantasy lineups at this point, even in a potentially difficult matchup against the New York Giants. While the Giants have allowed just 191 yards and no scores to the entire wide receiver position through two weeks, Hopkins showed in 2017 that he's a matchup-proof […]

Lamar Miller Could Find Holes In Giants Defense

Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller has been kept out of the end zone so far in 2018, but he's also averaging his highest yards per carry since coming to Houston heading into a favorable matchup with the New York Giants. This could be the week that Miller breaks through. His 83 yards per game […]

Deshaun Watson Has Tough Matchup Against Giants

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson hasn't lit the world on fire in his first two starts of the 2018 NFL season, tossing three touchdowns and a pair of interceptions while seeing his yards per attempt drop by 0.9 from his rookie year. He'll have a tough test on Sunday when Houston plays the Giants, who […]

DeAndre Hopkins Dealing With Hamstring Issue

Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins had already been limited in practice all week while dealing with thumb and ankle issues, but Thursday's injury report added a new ailment for Houston's star wideout, who was listed as having a hamstring injury as well. With the new injury designation coming so late in the week, Hopkins's […]

Donte Moncrief Leads Team In Targets In Week 2

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Donte Moncrief finished Week 1 with just one catch on five targets, but quarterback Blake Bortles looked his way more often in the team's Week 2 victory over the New England Patriots. Moncrief caught four of his team-high nine targets, finishing with 34 yards and a touchdown. That Moncrief has now […]

Austin Seferian-Jenkins Finds End Zone

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins caught three passes for 23 yards and a touchdown in his team's Week 2 win over New England. Seferian-Jenkins, who also had three catches in Week 1, doesn't appear to a major threat in Jacksonville's passing game from a yardage perspective, but he does give the team a big […]

Dede Westbrook Catches Touchdown Against Patriots

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook caught four passes for 83 yards and a touchdown in Jacksonville's Week 2 victory over the New England Patriots. Westbrook's 61-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter helped the Jaguars ice the game and showed off his ability to gain yards after the catch. The bad news from this outing? […]

Keelan Cole A Highlight In Week 2 Victory

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Keelan Cole made plenty of highlight reels after a one-handed catch against the Patriots, but that wasn't the only good moment from the second-year receiver. Cole caught seven passes for 116 yards and a touchdown in the victory, establishing himself as Jacksonville's most dangerous receiver. He'll look to deliver similar results […]

Corey Grant Contributes As Receiver In Week 2

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Corey Grant was a non-factor in Week 1, but with starting running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) missing Week 2's meeting with New England, the Jaguars turned to Grant to help move the ball. Grant carried the ball four times for 13 yards, but his main contribution was in the receiving game, […]

T.J. Yeldon Leads Jaguars In Rushing In Week 2

Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon was pressed into action in Week 2 after starting running back Leonard Fournette was ruled out before the game with a hamstring issue. Yeldon responded with 58 rushing yards on 10 attempts, as well as 13 receiving yards on two catches. It wasn't a great performance from Yeldon, but […]

Blake Bortles Has Strong Game Against Patriots

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles threw for 377 yards on 29-for-45 passing in Sunday's win over the New England Patriots. With running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) out, Bortles took to the air, tossing four touchdowns and an interception while also rushing six times for 35 yards. It was an impressive outing for Bortles, who gets […]

Texans Barely Use Tight Ends In Week 2

If fantasy owners were hoping to see one of Houston's three tight ends emerge as a potential fantasy sleeper, they'll need to keep waiting as the tight end usage in Week 2 didn't suggest that any player is distinguishing himself from the pack. Jordan Akins caught both of his targets for 21 yards, Ryan Griffin […]

Bruce Ellington Targeted Just Three Times

Houston Texans wide receiver Bruce Ellington hauled in all three of his targets for 45 yards in Houston's Week 2 loss to Tennessee, but Will Fuller's return from a hamstring injury that held him out of the season opener caused a drop in Ellington's usage. It's becoming clear that the Deshaun Watson-led Texans offense can't […]

DeAndre Hopkins Impressive Against Titans

Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins caught six of his 11 targets in Sunday's loss to the Titans, finishing with 110 yards and a touchdown. With fellow wide receiver Will Fuller back in the lineup after missing Week 1 with a hamstring injury, Houston's passing game opened up, allowing Hopkins to put up numbers that […]

Will Fuller Impressive In Return

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller missed the team's Week 1 loss while dealing with hamstring issues and was questionable up until game day this week, but Fuller shrugged off any concerns about his health on Sunday, catching eight passes for 113 yards and a touchdown. It was Fuller's first trip to the end zone […]

Alfred Blue Continues To See Carries

Houston Texans running back Alfred Blue saw one-third of Houston's running back carries in Sunday's loss to the Titans, finishing with 36 yards on seven carries. He was not targeted in the passing game. This comes a week after Blue rushed five times against New England for 36 yards and a touchdown. With D'Onta Foreman […]

Lamar Miller Solid In Week 2

Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller didn't have the flashiest day in Houston's Week 2 loss to the Titans, but he did gain 68 rushing yards on 14 carries to go along with two yards on two receptions. While it wasn't Miller's best football, he still averaged 4.9 yards per carry and showed that he […]

Deshaun Watson Has Solid Fantasy Day Against Titans

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson struggled at times in Sunday's loss to the Titans, but he managed to salvage a good fantasy day. Watson was 22-for-32 throwing the ball for 310 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception. Watson also added 44 rushing yards on five carries. Through two games, Watson hasn't looked like the electric […]

Leonard Fournette Unlikely To Play Against Patriots

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) continues to look unlikely to play in Sunday's meeting with the New England Patriots. Fournette will test his hamstring one more time before the game, but after feeling tightness in it all week during workouts, any discomfort will lead to Fournette sitting out. Fantasy owners should look elsewhere […]
