BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 40% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jacksonville’s decision to jettison Leonard Fournette has ignited interest in Devine Ozigbo, Ryquell Armstead, and James Robinson, as the fantasy community attempts to determine which back will benefit most from Fournette’s departure.

Fantasy Football Rookies to Watch in Week 1

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. The star of the season opener, Clyde Edwards-Helaire, is a rookie himself, although his dominant fantasy performance surprised few. However, it goes to show how quickly […]

Chris Conley A Deep League Option In Week 1

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Chris Conley might not hold onto his starting role all season with Laviska Shenault Jr. lurking, but he's currently listed as a starter for the team and should be a solid fantasy option in deeper leagues in Week 1. Conley's been overlooked all offseason, but is coming off a solid 2019 […]

Tyler Eifert A Risky Week 1 Play

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Tyler Eifert isn't listed as the starter on the team's initial depth chart, though the oft-injured former Bengal is likely to be the best receiving option at the position for the team. But being the "best" option doesn't necessarily translate to fantasy football success, and Eifert is best left on the […]

Jaguars Could Get Creative With Laviska Shenault Jr.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. is reportedly being used in a variety of ways at practice. Though the beat writer who reported this was unable to go into specifics due to the NFL's media rules, one can assume that Shenault is getting at least some work in the backfield, whether that be […]

Devine Ozigbo To Open Season On Injured Reserve

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Devine Ozigbo (hamstring) will start the 2020 season on the Injured Reserve. New rules this year mean Ozigbo could return for Week 4, but in the meantime, it appears that undrafted rookie James Robinson is going to get the first crack at the lead-back role. Robinson should be added in all […]

Can James Robinson Be the Next Phillip Lindsay?

When Leonard Fournette was cut by the Jacksonville Jaguars, there was a lot of speculation about whether Ryquell Armstead, the second-year back from Temple, would be elevated to the starting position on a run-heavy offense. However, Armstead is still battling with COVID-19 and is not ready for game action, so the Jaguars' first depth chart […]

"Starting" Running Backs to Ignore in Fantasy Football

Once upon a time, you could figure out which running backs to draft and play in fantasy by looking at a team's depth, seeing who the starting running back was, and then drafting that guy. It was a simpler time. Depth charts made sense. Backup running backs were backup running backs. But football has changed. […]

Deeper League Free Agent Pickups - Week 1

Ah, the waiver wire. It can be what you make of it: a place where you pick up the biggest steals of the week or just a place where players of no value reside, but you can check on them anyway in case you need to. I like to think of the waiver wire as […]

Jaguars Signing Dare Ogunbowale

The Jacksonville Jaguars are in the process of signing former Buccaneers running back Dare Ogunbowale on Wednesday after the special teams ace met with the Raiders earlier this week. Even in a Jacksonville backfield that no longer features Leonard Fournette, Ogunbowale, who is more of a pass-catching back, could struggle to carve out a role. […]

Devine Ozigbo Misses Practice Wednesday

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Devine Ozigbo (hamstring) missed practice on Wednesday ahead of Week 1 against the Colts. Ozigbo performed well in training camp and was in line for some early down carries to begin the year after the team released Leonard Fournette, but he's not a lock to suit up in the season opener. […]

FAB Bidding - Week 1 Waiver Wire Targets

Assisting our famous waiver wire pickups list, and our weekly waiver wire columns by position, this column focuses on suggested waiver wire bidding percentages for fantasy football owners in leagues using a Free Agent Budget (FAB).

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 1

Did you finish your fantasy football draft and realize that you forgot to take a viable tight end? Are the only tight ends on your fantasy roster Jordan Akins and Trey Burton? If you fall into one of these categories, you came to the right place. All of the undrafted tight ends in your fantasy […]

Waiver Wire Prognostication - Who'll Be Hot Adds After Week 1?

Fantasy football has always been a game about predictions and reactions. We need to be able to predict what might happen and react when it happens (or doesn't). There is no week where that's more pronounced than following Week 1 of the season. Many of our preseason predictions about roles or usage come to fruition […]

James Robinson (RB, JAX) - Week 1 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jacksonville’s decision to jettison Leonard Fournette has ignited interest in Devine Ozigbo, Ryquell Armstead, and James Robinson, as the fantasy community attempts to determine which back will benefit most from Fournette’s departure. Jacksonville's failed efforts to trade Fournette were well-documented and were followed by the Jaguars' […]

Chris Thompson Has PPR Appeal In Week 1

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Chris Thompson is the only veteran running back on the current Jaguars roster. He should see plenty of targets out of the backfield, just as he did when he was with Washington, and could wind up with more rushing attempts than expected with two untested players in front of him. Thompson […]

D.J. Chark Jr. Is Only Safe Fantasy Receiver In Jacksonville

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. is coming off a breakout second season and should continue that in his third season, serving as the main offensive weapon for quarterback Gardner Minshew II. Another 1,000-yard season is within reach for Chark, who opens the year against a Colts team that allowed the 10th-most fantasy points to […]

James Robinson Could Be Interesting Week 1 DFS Play

The Jacksonville Jaguars backfield is a mess right now, but undrafted free-agent running back James Robinson appears to be the starter for the team. Because we don't have much to go on this week, starting Robinson in season-long formats seems like a tough call, but he's an interesting DFS option for fantasy managers who are […]

Gardner Minshew II A QB2 Option To Start Season

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew II is a solid QB2 option with upside in Week 1 against the Indianapolis Colts. Minshew finished his rookie season with 3,271 passing yards on a 60.6 completion percentage with 21 touchdowns and six interceptions. The 2020 Jaguars have a chance to be really bad, but bad teams can make […]

Mike Glennon Promoted To Active Roster

The Jacksonville Jaguars promoted quarterback Mike Glennon to the active roster on Tuesday and placed linebacker Quincy Williams on Injured Reserve in a corresponding move. The team also signed former Eagles cornerback Sidney Jones to their practice squad. The Jags released Glennon over the weekend and then added him back to their roster as the […]

Coaching Matters: AFC South Play-Calling Impact on RB

In fantasy football, many of us 'experts' in the field try to take as much data into account before making a conclusion on players. That includes means looking at things like game tape, 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 […]

2020 Team Defense (DST) Draft Sleepers

If last year proved anything, it's that a top-flight DST can be a league winner. According to ESPN, the Steelers were on 18.4% of league-winning teams, the Ravens on 18.1%, and the juggernaut Patriots DST was on 14.2% of teams. However, as we've seen in seasons past, drafters can oftentimes overreact to a great season […]
