Laviska Shenault Jr. Gets In A Limited Practice
Jacksonville Jaguars rookie wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. (hamstring) returned to a limited practice on Thursday after missing practice on Wednesday. Unless he suffers a setback later this week, Shenault should be good to go in Week 6 against the Lions. The impressive rookie has seen his role expand in an offense that loves to […]
D.J. Chark Jr., Tyler Eifert Missing From Practice
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. (ankle) and tight end Tyler Eifert (neck) were both missing from practice for the second straight day on Thursday.

Waiver Wire Express - Week 6 Lightning Round
Week 5 brought some key injuries and we lost the NE/DEN game (with BUF/TEN still up in the air). The biggest injury was Dak Prescott, who was carted off after suffering a compound ankle fracture, but we also saw Sammy Watkins and A.J. Green leave due to hamstring injuries alongside Diontae Johnson's back injury. Also, Dalvin […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars acquired linebacker Kamalei Correa from the Tennessee Titans on Wednesday, according to sources.

Week 5 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!
Unlike Week 4 where 17 quarterbacks scored at least 20-fantasy points, only 11 quarterbacks reached that same mark in Week 5. Patrick Mahomes finished the week as the No. 1 quarterback on the week, while Ryan Fitzpatrick finished No. 2 in surprising fashion against a tough 49ers Defense. Travis Kelce finished Week 5 as the […]
Jacksonville Releases Stephen Hauschka After Rough Week 5
The Jacksonville Jaguars released kicker Stephen Hauschka on Monday after he missed both field-goal attempts that he had in Sunday’s loss to Houston. The team brought in Jon Brown as their new kicker, marking the fifth different kicker that will start for the Jaguars this season. Having been a full-time kicker since 2011 with Seattle […]
Tyler Eifert Sustains Stinger Sunday
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Tyler Eifert (neck) sustained a stinger, which forced him to exit Sunday’s contest versus Houston early. There is optimism that Eifert will be able to return to the field soon, a definite positive whenever discussing a neck ailment. Prior to his departure, Eifert saw a season-high seven targets, continuing to be […]
Keelan Cole (WR, JAX) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 25% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I already wrote about Keelan Cole last week, and here I am back it once more. After two great games to start the season (15.7 and 17.8 PPR points), Keelan dropped his numbers a bit in the next two (back-to-back 8-FP games) but […]
Laviska Shenault (WR, JAX) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 34% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While Shenault started the year flying under the radar, a quick look at his current rostership rate tells you all you need to know about his growth in Jacksonville's offense. The rookie only featured in 31 snaps in Week 1 but hasn't played […]
Keelan Cole Scores Touchdown Against Texans
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Keelan Cole caught a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Houston Texans. Cole finished with two catches for 25 yards. While he was targeted six times, Cole's role has been trending down, and even with the touchdown he doesn't seem like more than a bye week replacement option going forward for […]
Collin Johnson Catches First NFL Touchdown
Jacksonville Jaguars rookie wide receiver Collin Johnson caught the first touchdown of his NFL career on Sunday. Entering the game with just two career receptions, Johnson was targeted four times, catching three passes for 30 yards. The increased workload is interesting to note, but Johnson's role is still not big enough at this point for […]
Laviska Shenault Jr. Leads Team In Receptions
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. caught a team-high seven passes for 79 yards in Sunday's loss to the Houston Texans. The rookie continues to see an increase in his usage and has established himself as the No. 2 receiver on this team. While his usage won't be consistent enough to make Shenault a […]
James Robinson Fails To Score In Week 5
Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back James Robinson had a middling Week 5 performance against the Houston Texans. Robinson had 13 carries for 48 yards and caught five passes for 22 yards. It wasn't a bad performance for Robinson, though Houston's struggles on run defense had fantasy managers expecting a stronger game from the first-year rusher. […]
Gardner Minshew II Throws For 300 Yards In Week 5
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew II was forced to throw a lot against the Texans on Sunday, tossing the ball 49 times. He completed 31 of them for 301 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Minshew also added 18 yards on the ground on four carries. It was a solid performance for Minshew, who is […]
DJ Chark Jr. Questionable To Return
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver DJ Chark Jr. (ankle) suffered an ankle injury in Sunday's game against the Houston Texans. He has left the game and is questionable to return. The Jaguars are trailing the Texans by multiple scores in the fourth quarter so it might be unlikely that we see Chark back in the game […]
Tyler Eifert Leaves Game With Neck Injury
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Tyler Eifert (neck) left Sunday's game against the Houston Texans in the third quarter with a neck injury. His return is questionable. He had three catches for 16 yards on four targets before exiting the game. While he's gone, the team's backup tight end James O'Shaughnessy could see some additional targets.

Week 5 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2020 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings
After successfully predicting eight out of the top ten defenses last week, we may be starting to hit our groove. Some of them felt a bit like gimmes, but the Jets in the top-10 was the subject of criticism and watching the Bills round into form a bit was also nice. The only two outliers […]
