Carlos Hyde Not A Worthy Week 3 Option
Jacksonville Jaguars veteran running back Carlos Hyde is best left on fantasy benches this week as the team takes on the Arizona Cardinals in Week 3. Hyde's role was reduced heavily in Week 2 after he led the team in touches in Week 3, which was somewhat expected. The veteran isn't an explosive player in […]
Trevor Lawrence A Speculative Streamer In Week 3
Jacksonville Jaguars rookie quarterback Trevor Lawrence is a questionable streaming option in Week 3 against the Arizona Cardinals. Lawrence has struggled in each of his two NFL games to date, and the entire Jaguars offense has looked out of sorts. Through two weeks Lawrence has thrown five interceptions to four touchdowns, and he managed just […]
James Robinson A Solid RB3 In Week 3
Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson is a decent RB3 play in Week 3 against the Arizona Cardinals. Robinson appeared to reprise his role as the lead back while Carlos Hyde took a back seat in last week's loss to the Denver Broncos, but the Jaguars offense was once again so poor that he wasn't […]
Trey Burton To Visit With Jaguars
Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Urban Meyer confirmed that tight end Trey Burton has a visit scheduled with the team. Burton never landed with a team after becoming an unrestricted free agent in the offseason. In 13 games (four starts) for the Indianapolis Colts in 2020, Burton had 28 catches on 47 targets for 250 yards […]

Jumping Ship on Bad Offenses?
Sometimes, a bad offense can sink a good player. It happens every year. In 2020, for instance, the Bengals scored the fourth-fewest points in the NFL. Tyler Boyd was targeted 10 times, but only finished with 841 yards and four touchdowns, dropping almost 10 yards per game over his 2019 numbers despite a catch rate […]
Which Rookie QB Will Be Best in Fantasy? Head of the Class
We all know the names. From Trevor Lawrence to Mac Jones, five of the first 15 picks in the 2021 NFL draft were at the quarterback position. The big difference is the situations in which each player was drafted. Were they drafted to the worst team in the league (Jacksonville)? Or were they taken by […]

Week 3 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2021 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings
Hopefully y'all read this article last week because you would've gotten a "leg-up" on your competition. Yes, I am going to try and make it 17 straight weeks with a terrible kicker pun to start each article. To be fair, I'll try not to use any duplicates. In all seriousness, last week my four streamers […]

Laviska Shenault Jr. Practices Fully Wednesday
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. (shoulder) was able to practice fully on Wednesday.

The second-year wideout is now on track to suit up to play in Week 3 against an Arizona Cardinals […]
James O'Shaughnessy Lands On Injured Reserve
The Jacksonville Jaguars placed tight end James O'Shaughnessy (ankle) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday after he suffered a high ankle sprain in the Week 2 loss to the Denver Broncos. O'Shaughnessy will now be forced to miss at least the next three games. Through two games played in 2021, he has seven receptions on nine […]
Key Fantasy Football Data from Week 2
Another week in the book and that means the available data we have to look at has doubled! We are still probably three or four weeks away from having a significant data sample, but it's never too early to peer into the numbers to see what's been happening. We started this post series last week, […]
Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds
Week 2 was ugly in the early slate with low-scoring games and QB injuries across the board. Things picked up through the afternoon but the typical surprises that make fantasy football so aggravating at times resurfaced. Touchdown vultures, mid-game injuries, and big-name duds (looking at you, Alvin Kamara) were all present. Nevertheless, we move on to […]
Trevor Lawrence Leads League In Uncatchable Passes
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence has been wildly inaccurate to begin his young career. The first overall pick in this year's draft, Lawrence has been hyped as a once in a generation talent. Despite the hype and opportunity to run the show in Jacksonville, Lawrence leads the league with 36% of his passes being uncatchable. […]
Nevin Lawson Visiting With Jaguars
Former Las Vegas Raiders cornerback Nevin Lawson is visiting with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Tuesday, according to a source. Lawson was just cut by the Raiders on Monday after being suspended for the first two games of the season for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances. The 30-year-old should land on his feet soon, […]
Surprise Fantasy Football Studs, Duds - Something or Nothing?
Week 2 of the NFL season is now in the books and while we saw many familiar names register top-fantasy performances there were a few surprises. The quarterback position was fairly predictable for the most part with Kyler Murray, Tom Brady, Lamar Jackson, Daniel Jones and Aaron Rodgers all registering top-five performances.

Arizona Cardinals (D/ST, ARI) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 52% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Red Birds are in the upper half of the rostered threshold but will likely be dropped in many leagues after giving up 33 points to Minnesota.

Jaguars Place Walker Little On COVID-19 List
The Jacksonville Jaguars placed offensive lineman Walker Little on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday. If he's vaccinated, Little will have a chance to pass through the league's protocols and be active for the Week 3 contest against the Arizona Cardinals. He was the 45th overall pick in the second round this year but hasn't seen […]
James O'Shaughnessy Dealing With High Ankle Sprain
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end James O'Shaughnessy (ankle) suffered a high ankle sprain in the Week 2 loss to the Denver Broncos, according to head coach Urban Meyer. High ankle sprains can keep players out anywhere from four to six weeks, so O'Shaughnessy is definitely going to miss some time for the Jaguars. The 29-year-old had […]
Laviska Shenault Jr. Expected To Be Able To Play In Week 3
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. (shoulder), who suffered a shoulder injury in the Week 2 loss to the Denver Broncos, is expected to be able to play in Week 3 against the Arizona Cardinals, according to head coach Urban Meyer. Shenault is expected to practice this week, so unless he suffers a setback […]
Monday Night Football Starts and Sits: Lions vs Packers Matchups
Football fans were spoiled by a primetime game in Week 1 in a seemingly lopsided matchup between the Ravens and Raiders. On paper, it looked like the Ravens would run away with the game. What we got instead was a massive game from Darren Waller, clutch plays from Bryan Edwards in the final minute and […]
Josh Lambo Poor In Week 2 Loss
Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Josh Lambo missed his only two field-goal attempts in the team's Week 2 loss to the Broncos while converting his only extra-point opportunity. Lambo also missed his only field goal attempt in Week 1, but for whatever reason, head coach Urban Meyer isn't ready to move on. Meyer said that he's "concerned," […]
D.J. Chark Jr. Quiet In Week 2 Loss
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. caught just one pass for 19 yards in Week 2's 23-13 loss at the hands of the Denver Broncos. Chark's Week 2 dud comes on the heels of a Week 1 performance in which he dominated targets and found the end zone. The young wide receiver was partially […]
Marvin Jones Jr. Dominates Targets, Catches Touchdown
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr. reeled in six passes for 55 yards and a touchdown in the team's 23-13 loss to the Denver Broncos. The bulk of Jones' production came on a beautiful 25-yard touchdown pass in which Trevor Lawrence dropped the ball just over the defender into Jones' hands in the back […]
Carlos Hyde A Non-Factor In Week 2
Jacksonville Jaguars veteran running back Carlos Hyde was a complete non-factor in a Week 2 loss to the Denver Broncos, carrying the ball just twice for seven yards while adding nothing through the air. The lack of touches came out of nowhere in this one after Hyde led the team in touches in Week 1, […]
James Robinson Has Middling Performance In Week 2
Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson had a mediocre performance in Week 2 in the team's 23-13 loss to the Denver Broncos. All told, Robinson rushed for 47 yards on 11 carries and added three catches and 17 yards through the air in the game. While Robinson was unable to take advantage, he did out-touch […]
