Tyler Eifert Finds End Zone Against Tennessee

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Tyler Eifert was targeted six times in Sunday's loss to the Tennessee Titans. He brought in three of them for 36 yards and a touchdown. At a shallow fantasy position, Eifert's usage in this one is interesting, though the fact that he was targeted just once back in Week 1 is […]

Keelan Cole Catches Touchdown Against Titans

For the second week in a row, Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Keelan Cole caught a touchdown from quarterback Gardner Minshew II. Cole was an afterthought last year, but has emerged as a key weapon for Minshew in 2020. He was targeted seven times, catching six passes for 58 yards and the score. Cole's becoming a […]

D.J. Chark Jr. Has Solid Week 2

The targets weren't quite there, but Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. managed to bring all four of the ones he got in for receptions, finishing with 84 yards in his team's Week 2 loss to the Titans. Chark's not getting the ball as much as expected in an offense that's been spreading it […]

Chris Thompson Scores Week 2 Touchdown

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Chris Thompson scored his first touchdown of the 2020 season on Sunday, finishing with three catches for 20 yards and a score. He also added two rushes for seven yards. Of course, Thompson only getting five touches in this loss to the Titans is worrisome, especially with a game script that […]

Laviska Shenault Jr. Receives Five Carries

Yes, you read the headline right. Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. had been teased as the kind of player who'd be involved all over the field for the Jags. We saw that in action in the team's Week 2 loss to the Tennessee Titans, as Shenault was used in the backfield, getting five […]

James Robinson Has Huge Game Against Titans

Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson cemented his role as the team's No. 1 back in Sunday's loss to the Tennessee Titans, rushing for 102 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries. He added three catches for 18 yards as well. While Chris Thompson will continue to see passing down work and wide receiver Laviska […]

Gardner Minshew II Throws Three Touchdowns

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew II threw for 339 yards on 30-for-45 passing in Sunday's loss to the Tennessee Titans. He was picked off twice and added four carries for 19 yards. Jacksonville's offense is officially better than expected, making Minshew a solid QB2 option moving forward. Jacksonville's defense is going to continue to hemorrhage […]

Dede Westbrook Is Healthy Scratch Again

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook is a healthy inactive in Week 2 against the Tennessee Titans. This is the second week in a row that Westbrook won't play. It's clear that last week's absence wasn't a fluke, and it's now safe for fantasy managers to drop Dede Westbrook in all redraft leagues. Maybe you […]

Top 10 Fantasy Football Busts for Week 2

With so much roster turnover in the NFL each year, it can be especially difficult to predict outcomes in opening-week matchups. With last season’s data being the latest available, it has to be weighed against the perceived impact of roster and coaching changes. This is often an exercise in futility in what is a wildly […]

Coaching Matters: Offenses That Will Improve From Week 1

In fantasy football, we try to take as much data into account before making a conclusion on players. That includes means looking at things like game tape, snap counts, the team's offensive line, or their primary play-callers historical tendencies to utilize a certain position. After much research, I've developed a broad knowledge of how each […]

Derrick Henry Has A Good Matchup Against Jaguars Defense

Tennessee Titans star running back Derrick Henry will face a Jaguars Defense against which he accumulated 203 rushing yards and three rushing scores in two matchups last season. That Jaguars have allowed an average of 31.4 fantasy points per game to opposing running backs over the past eight games. This forecast seems to bode quite […]

Fantasy Football Rookies to Watch in Week 2

Every week, this column will spotlight the first-year players who are ripe for a breakout performance. Often times, rookies can provide some of the most value as under-the-radar options.

Re-Shaping NFL Depth Charts with Week 1 Snap Count Data

A common complaint heading into Week 1 was that some NFL teams had posted depth charts that felt a little...off. Some teams didn't have 11 starters. Some had guys who we knew were in for big roles not listed as starters. Things were not clear. After one week of actual play, we have a clearer […]

Week 1 Mirages Bound to Disappear

It’s easy to overreact to big performances in Week 1. We see a new set of breakout performers each fantasy season and all fantasy owners suffer from some extreme FOMO at the onset of the season, knowing that if they don’t act soon, they may miss out on one of those breakouts. Below are eight […]

D.J. Chark Jr. A Risky Week 2 Option

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. caught a touchdown in Week 1, but also was targeted just three times, catching all of them for 25 yards. Against a good Titans Defense this week, Chark's got a lot of downside. His low volume of work last week could be an anomaly, but it could also […]

James Robinson Has Flex Appeal In Week 2

Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson had a strong NFL debut in Week 1, rushing for 62 yards on 16 carries and adding a 28-yard reception. He played 68 percent of Jacksonville's snaps. While this Week 2 game against the Titans isn't prime for Robinson to have a breakout performance, his projected role gives him […]

Gardner Minshew II Faces Tough Week 2 Matchup

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew II had a stellar Week 1, completing 95 percent of his passes for 173 yards and three touchdowns. But a repeat performance seems unlikely in Week 2 as he faces a Tennessee Titans team whose defense should be up to the task to slow down the Minshew Mania. In Week […]

In Week 1, the quarterback position was rather stable as Russell Wilson, Aaron Rodgers, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson and Kyler Murray finished inside the top-five. Through Sunday's games, Gardner Minshew II finished as QB12 which surprised most, while Dak Prescott and Patrick Mahomes underwhelmed just a little, finishing as QB2's. Tight end was a little […]
