Chris Thompson Shouldn't Be Started In Week 7

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Chris Thompson has caught 16 of his 19 targets for 111 yards and a touchdown on the year.

James Robinson Continues To Be A Must-Start In Week 7

Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson has struggled a bit in his past two games. He averaged 3.7 yards per carry against the Houston Texans in Week 5 and 2.4 yards per carry against the Detroit Lions in Week 6. Regardless, his workload has been significant enough to make up for the low efficiency. He's […]

Gardner Minshew II A Decent QB2 In Week 7

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew II has been struggling lately after his hot start to the season.

Tyler Eifert’s Status For Sunday Unknown After Missed Practice

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Tyler Eifert (neck) was held out of Thursday's practice as he continues to work his way back from a neck injury. Eifert was able to log just five offensive snaps last Sunday versus Detroit before being removed, which doesn't bode well for his shot at suiting up this Sunday against the […]

DJ Chark Jr., Laviska Shenault Jr. Limited In Practice Thursday

For the second consecutive day Thursday, Jacksonville Jaguars wide receivers DJ Chark Jr. (ankle) and Laviska Shenault Jr. (hamstring) were both limited practice participants. Neither appears in any immediate danger of missing Sunday's contest against the Chargers, but their status is something to keep an eye on, even as Chark compiled a season-high 14 targets […]

NextGen Stats - Quarterback Breakdowns and Takeaways

It's been a month since the last time we took a look at our beloved quarterbacks. Numbers are numbers, and numbers don't lie. You can twist them, but looking at them objectively, numbers say that no matter what, rushing the ball is almost always a worse option than passing it in today's game. That's why […]

Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

Week 6 was like the 2020 of fantasy football weeks. All those great matchups meant nothing, those studs let you down, and your bench likely went crazy. The good news is that we didn't have any season-ending injuries to running backs or games canceled due to COVID, so in retrospect maybe we shouldn't complain. The […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 7 Lightning Round

Week 6 was relatively healthy and had no coronavirus delays, so let's just take a moment to bask in that.

Let's get […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 7

Six weeks of NFL football are behind us, aside from a pair of Monday games, including a late afternoon game between the Bills and the Chiefs.

Josh Lambo Designated To Return From Injured Reserve

Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Josh Lambo (hip) has been designated to return from Injured Reserve after missing the last four weeks with a left hip injury. The Jaguars have used a revolving door at kicker ever since Lambo was put on IR four weeks ago. They went with Jon Brown, who had never previously kicked in […]

Dynasty Trade Targets for Rebuilding Teams

Maybe 2020 isn't going the way you planned. That could go for a lot of us in a lot of ways but this specifically refers to fantasy football. Maybe your dynasty team that once looked like a strong contender is sitting at the bottom of the standings with one lonely win or none at all. […]

Even in the most bizarre of NFL seasons, the first six weeks of 2020 have provided us plenty of information with which to evaluate most players' rest-of-year outlooks.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 29% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Although Keelan Cole couldn't help Jacksonville get a W this past Sunday, he put on his best performance of the season and it can't be argued he was the lone really bright light of the offense against Detroit. It's been like that all […]

Laviska Shenault Jr. Barely A Factor Against Lions

So much for a breakout. Jacksonville Jaguars rookie wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. was targeted seven times in Sunday's loss to the Detroit Lions, but finished with just three catches for 10 yards. He added a one-yard carry as well. Shenault had been trending up and was a popular pick to explode in Week 6, […]

D.J. Chark Jr. Targeted 14 Times

So much for a lighter workload due to injury concerns. Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. was targeted 14 times against the Lions on Sunday, catching seven of them for 45 yards. The yardage wasn't great, but the targets sure were. Chark is a WR2/3 in this offense with the upside to be a […]

Keelan Cole Leads Jaguars In Week 6 Receiving Yards

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Keelan Cole caught six passes for 143 yards in his team's Week 6 loss to the Detroit Lions. It was Cole's first 100-yard game of the season. It's hard to get a read on Cole from a fantasy point of view, as he seemed to be trending down before this game. […]

James Robinson Catches Touchdown Against Lions

Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson had his worst game on the ground of his rookie season on Sunday, carrying the ball 12 times for just 29 yards in a loss to the Detroit Lions.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew II as 25-for-44 throwing the ball in a Week 6 loss to the Detroit Lions, finishing with 243 yards, a touchdown, and an interception.

D.J. Chark Jr. Active For Week 6

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. (ankle) will be active on Sunday against the Detroit Lions. With Detroit's pass defense struggling this year, Chark should be considered a strong WR2 option, even with the possibility that he's going to be slightly limited due to the injury. Meanwhile, defensive end Josh Allen won't play. The […]

Jon Brown Not A Fantasy Asset In NFL Debut Sunday

Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Jon Brown will be making his NFL debut Sunday, marking the fifth different kicker than the team has utilized already in 2020.
