Players to Buy Before the Trade Deadline

The NFL trade deadline is now less than a week away, which gives you just enough time to get ahead of your competition. The deadline hasn't historically been filled with a flurry of moves, but we're at a time in the fantasy seasons where the end of our benches should be filled with high-end stashes […]

Marcell Dareus Having Surgery, Out 4-6 Weeks

Jacksonville Jaguars defensive tackle Marcell Dareus (abdomen) is having core muscle surgery on Thursday, according to sources. The procedure has a high rate of a full recovery and generally comes with a four- to six-week timetable for a return. Dareus is one of the team's best run-stopping defenders, so Jacksonville's D will be a little […]

Dede Westbrook Not Expected To Practice Thursday

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook (shoulder) is expected to be held out of practice for the second straight day Thursday. Receiver Marqise Lee (ankle) will also take a scheduled day off after being limited on Wednesday.

Dede Westbrook Misses Practice Wednesday

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook (neck, shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday. Marqise Lee (ankle), who missed Week 7, was limited. Westbrook was questionable for last Sunday's game but played and went over 100 yards against the Bengals injured and ineffective secondary. He'll have a good chance of playing this Sunday as long as […]

Plug 'Em In - Fantasy QB Replacements for Patrick Mahomes

There is no firm timetable on the possible return of the best quarterback in fantasy football. Patrick Mahomes may miss three weeks with a dislocated kneecap, but there have been reports indicating he could possibly be back sooner. The best way to approach the guesswork as a fantasy owner is to prepare as if he […]

We Must Overreact Immediately! Week 7 Outliers

Week 7 seemed extremely fluky for fantasy football purposes. Devonta Freeman was ejected, and players like Will Fuller, Adam Thielen and Kerryon Johnson were both forced from their games very early on which hurt a lot of fantasy owners. The Rams wide receivers were supposed to light the world on fire against a Falcons secondary that […]

Deeper League Free Agent Pickups for Week 8

We're past the halfway point of the regular fantasy football season, which means you'd better start making some serious moves if you have any weaknesses in your roster.

Week 7 is over, and a few things have changed. The Los Angeles Rams learned how to play offense again, and the New York Jets came back to Earth, among other things. Week 7 was an especially quiet week for kickers across the NFL. A lot of kickers weren't able to get on the field […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 8 Lightning Round

The better part of seven weeks is in the fantasy football books, making those early trends very real -- for better or worse. One must still consider the matchups played thus far and those to come, but usage and volume are becoming reliable. Week 8 sees the Ravens and Cowboys hit their bye week. To […]

Keelan Cole Catches Touchdown

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Keelan Cole caught a two-yard touchdown in Sunday's win over the Bengals, his only catch of the game. In fact, it was just Cole's second catch of the season, and Sunday's touchdown is very unlikely to matter much in the long or short term. Leave Cole on waivers. His past production […]

D.J. Chark Has Quiet Outing

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark caught three passes for 53 yards in Sunday's win over the Cincinnati Bengals. While the per play yards are good, Chark finished third on the team in targets. After looking like quarterback Gardner Minshew's top target lately, Sunday was a bit of a disappointment. Still, Chark's end zone connection […]

Chris Conley Has Surprising Performance In Week 7

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Chris Conley had a combined four catches for 73 yards between Weeks 3 and 6. He surpassed that yardage total in just one game on Sunday, catching three passes for 83 yards while being targeted eight times against the Bengals. That huge increase in targets -- he hadn't surpassed four targets […]

Dede Westbrook Has Strong Week 7 Game

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook had one of his best games of the 2019 season on Sunday against the Bengals, catching six passes for 103 yards and also adding 14 rushing yards on two carries. Westbrook's been a bit of a disappointment this year -- especially from a yardage perspective -- but on Sunday […]

Leonard Fournette Has Another Good Game

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette rushed 29 times for 131 yards in Sunday's win over the Cincinnati Bengals. He also added 14 receiving yards on two catches. It was another solid outing from Fournette, who has now topped 100 scrimmage yards in four straight games. Fournette looks like a solid RB1 at this point […]

Gardner Minshew Throws Touchdown Against Bengals

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew threw for 255 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Cincinnati Bengals. He was 15-for-32 throwing the ball and also added 48 rushing yards on nine carries. It wasn't an encouraging game for Minshew, especially with a completion percentage below 50 percent, but he got the job done. […]

Dede Westbrook Playing Against Bengals

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook (shoulder) is officially active for Week 7 against the Bengals. Westbrook tested his shoulder before the game and will give it a go in a great matchup against a Cincinnati team that will be missing their top cornerbacks. D.J. Chark and Westbrook remain quarterback Gardner Minshew's favorite targets in […]

Nick Foles Throwing In Pregame Warmups

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Nick Foles (collarbone) was seen throwing passes before Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. It appears that Foles' rehab is on schedule, though he's still a few weeks away from returning to the field, and there will be plenty of questions about whether or not Foles will reclaim his starting role from […]
