Jaguars Don't Sound Optimistic About James Robinson In Week 9

Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson (ankle) is likely facing an uphill battle. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Jaguars "don't sound optimistic that Robinson will play Sunday." The team will wait to make an official decision until 11:30 a.m. Eastern and Robinson's pain threshold will likely play a large role in his status. Assuming […]

Jaguars Not Optimistic About James Robinson

The Jacksonville Jaguars don't sound optimistic that running back James Robinson (heel), who is listed as questionable for Week 9 against the Buffalo Bills, will play Sunday, according to a source. However, the Jaguars will put him through pre-game warmups before making a final decision. If you were planning on starting Robinson, you'll obviously need […]

Dan Arnold - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Dan Arnold is a very solid TE2 option in Week 9 against Buffalo. Arnold has been something of a revelation since being traded from Carolina to Jacksonville, leading his new team in receiving in two of their last three games. Arnold's standing within the offense is excellent, but the same can't […]

Jamal Agnew - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jamal Agnew is a decent flier option at the wide receiver position this week against the Buffalo Bills. The matchup is imposing, as Buffalo has been the second-best defense in the NFL against opposing wideouts in terms of fantasy points allowed, but Agnew could still produce. The former special teamer has […]

Laviska Shenault Jr. - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. projects as a low-end WR4 option in Week 9 against Buffalo. The second-year wideout has been among fantasy football's biggest busts in 2021, averaging just nine PPR points per game despite being drafted as high as the sixth round in some drafts. Shenault's matchup is also far from […]

Marvin Jones Jr. - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr. is a mediocre WR4 option against the Buffalo Bills in Week 9. Jones has been oddly inconsistent as of late despite being the clear No. 1 option in Jacksonville's passing game. Since D.J. Chark Jr.'s season-ending ankle injury occurred in Week 4, Jones has averaged just 10.1 PPR […]

Trevor Lawrence - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie quarterback Trevor Lawrence should be on fantasy benches in leagues that start only one QB this week as he takes on the imposing Bills defense. The rookie has been up and down as of late, but overall he's averaging just 14.5 fantasy points per game this season. Lawrence deserves some of the […]

Dan Arnold (TE, JAX) - Fantasy Football Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If you remember, the Jaguars traded for Dan Arnold a few weeks ago and Arnold debuted for Jacksonville back in Week 4... only to put up a dud of just 4.9 PPR points against Cincy. All he could do back then was […]

Carlos Hyde Should Be Ready For Week 9

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Carlos Hyde (calf) was a full participant in practice on Thursday after he was limited on Wednesday.
