Dede Westbrook Vanishes In Week 16

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook caught two passes for five yards in Sunday's loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Westbrook's really struggled to get going since Gardner Minshew was reinserted into the starting quarterback role for the Jags, with Sunday's game being the lowest point of that time period for the third-year pro. Westbrook's role […]

D.J. Chark Struggles Against Falcons

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark was targeted a team-high seven times on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons, but that only turned into two catches for 18 yards for the second-year pro. Chark's been Gardner Minshew's favorite target, but the Falcons managed to effectively shut down that connection. Chark's still the wide receiver to own […]

Chris Conley Catches Touchdown Against Falcons

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Chris Conley led the team in receiving yards in Sunday's loss to the Falcons, catching two passes for 56 yards and the team's only touchdown. Conley was targeted five times. It's hard to trust any part of Jacksonville's receiving corps right now, but Conley's been a solid player in the second […]

Leonard Fournette Finishes With Over 100 Scrimmage Yards

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette managed to make the most of a rough game for his team in Week 16, taking his 15 carries for 71 yards and adding 34 receiving yards on three catches.

Gardner Minshew Struggles Against Falcons

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew had a disappointing Week 16, going just 13-for-31 for 181 yards. He threw a touchdown pass to wide receiver Chris Conley and didn't turn the ball over. It was a tough showing for the rookie, who struggled to complete passes. He did add 36 rushing yards on seven carries to […]

Doug Marrone, Dave Caldwell Have Chance To Stick Around

There is a "good chance" that both Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone and general manager Dave Caldwell return in 2020 following the firing of executive vice president Tom Coughlin, according to sources. Heading into Week 16, Jacksonville sits in last place in the AFC South with a 5-9 record. Free-agent signing Nick Foles broke […]

D.J. Chark Active Against Falcons

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark (ankle) is active for Week 16 against the Falcons. Chark will return to No. 1 wideout duties after missing just one week. His presence will be a downgrade for both Dede Westbrook and Chris Conley, who took advantage of Chark's absence in Week 15 by scoring two touchdowns. The […]

After a fantastic week with a 13-game slate last Sunday, Week 16 sees us drop back down to an 11-game slate thanks to the triple-header on Saturday.

D.J. Chark Expected To Play Sunday

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said that he expects wide receiver D.J. Chark (ankle) to play in Week 16 against the Falcons despite his questionable tag on the final injury report. It looks like Chark will wind up missing just one game. In his absence, Chris Conley was the primary beneficiary with two touchdowns […]

Chris Conley Could Play Key Role In Week 16

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Chris Conley became the team's top option in Week 15 with D.J. Chark (ankle) out, catching four of his eight targets for 49 yards and two scores. Conley's role in Week 16 likely depends on Chark's availability, but if Chark ends up missing the contest, Conley would be an intriguing flex […]

Dede Westbrook Has Low Ceiling In Week 16

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook couldn't take advantage of D.J. Chark (ankle) missing last week's game, with Westbrook catching two passes for 14 yards despite playing over 90 percent of the team's snaps for the first time all season. Chark is looking like he'll play on Sunday against the Falcons, which just increases the […]

D.J. Chark Has Solid Upside If Healthy

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark missed Week 15 with an ankle sprain, and his status for Sunday's game against the Falcons is still unclear. If Chark does play, he instantly becomes the biggest threat on this Jaguars offense and a solid WR2/3 option for fantasy owners against the Falcons. Atlanta's gotten better against the […]

Leonard Fournette Is RB2 Option In Week 16

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette hasn't surpassed 50 rushing yards over the last three games that Jacksonville has played, but his increased work in the passing game gives him solid upside in Week 16 against a Falcons Defense that's near the middle of the pack in fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs. Fournette […]

Gardner Minshew Has Favorable Matchup

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie quarterback Gardner Minshew has been solid since retaking the starting job for the Jags, throwing three touchdowns and no interceptions in the last two games. He gets a solid matchup on Sunday against a Falcons squad that's allowed the eighth-most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks this season. That doesn't mean […]

D.J. Chark Limited Again Thursday
