Unorthodox Draft Strategies
One of the biggest factors left out of the draft-day discussion is the makeup of your league. Analysts often mention the importance of understanding league scoring, but then fail to mention how important it is to understand your competition. There are many reasons why your competition is important. Does your league love RBs? Do they […]

Alfred Blue Injured Thursday
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Alfred Blue (ankle) suffered an ankle injury in the preseason game against the Eagles on Thursday night. Blue had five yards on four carries in the game before departing. It's unclear how serious the former Texan's injury is, so stay tuned for more details. If healthy this year, Blue should help […]
Alfred Blue Struggles Against Eagles
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Alfred Blue had five yards on four carries in Thursday's preseason loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. For a little while, it looked like Blue could wind up as the main backup to Leonard Fournette, but it's looking more and more like that job belongs to rookie Ryquell Armstead. Blue doesn't appear […]
Tre McBride Catches Four Passes Against Eagles
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Tre McBride had four receptions for 47 yards in Thursday's preseason loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. He finished second on the team in both receptions and yards to wide receiver C.J. Board, but McBride's performance was the big takeaway from the receiving corps. Beyond the top three of Dede Westbrook, D.J. […]
Gardner Minshew Plays Three Quarters
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew played the first three quarters of Thursday's preseason loss to the Eagles. Minshew was 19-for-29 passing for 202 yards and didn't throw a touchdown. He added two rushing yards on two carries. The team clearly wanted to get an extended look at Minshew, who'll open the year as the Jaguars' […]

Quarterback Stat Sleepers - Adjusted Completion Percentage
There are plenty of factors that go into a fantasy quarterback's success in any given season. While some passers could be said to be more "accurate" than others, completion percentage isn't the most reliable of metrics. This is because it can easily be skewed by the talent around a quarterback, dropped passes, and various other […]

Chris Conley (WR, JAX) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~260 Overall Current ADP: ~300 Marqise Lee is still not practicing at Jaguars' training camp. That leaves the team with a top-three receiving group of Dede Westbrook, D.J. Chark, and Chris Conley. Keelan Cole seems to be a pretty distant fourth of the healthy guys. Terrelle Pryor's going to be cut unless Lee starts the year […]
Five Very Deep Wide Receiver Sleepers
Sleepers sleepers sleepers sleepers. With fantasy football season in full swing, I know you're already tired of the word "sleeper," especially when people will basically use the word for any player. "Yes, dude in my fantasy league, please tell me more about your big sleeper pick for this year, Saquon Barkley." Clearly, there's a need […]
Marqise Lee Unlikely To Be Ready For Opener
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marqise Lee (knee) is unlikely to be ready for the start of the regular season according to head coach Doug Marrone. If Lee's unavailable to open the year, the battle between Chris Conley and D.J. Chark will become less important in the overall scheme of things, as both will be on […]
Jaguars Injured/Waive Roc Thomas
The Jacksonville Jaguars have put running back Roc Thomas on the waivers/injury list. Thomas, who had just joined the team last week, will be eligible to be placed on Jacksonville's injured reserve if he clears waivers. Thomas is suspended for the first three games of the regular season, so the Jaguars signing him in the […]
RotoBaller Expert Mock Recap (Half-PPR)
Popular sleepers casually dismissed. No-name rookies selected in the latter stages. Drew Brees available in the 14th round. This must be an expert mock! The good folks at Fleaflicker recently hosted an expert mock draft including 12 of our finest fantasy football analysts. I have done a couple of early drafts already but much has […]
Keelan Cole Getting Return Chances
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Keelan Cole saw plenty of action as a return man in Thursday's preseason opener, including a long punt return touchdown that was nullified by a penalty. In addition to that play, Cole had two kick returns. While his offensive role appears to be diminishing this year, Cole being useful on special […]
Tre McBride Has Three Receptions Against Ravens
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Tre McBride was the only player on the Jaguars' team to catch more than one pass in Thursday's preseason loss to the Ravens. McBride caught three passes for 42 yards and was targeted five times. McBride's probably not a factor for the Jags in the regular season, but he could continue […]
Ryquell Armstead Struggles Against Ravens
Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Ryquell Armstead rushed for 22 yards on eight carries in his preseason debut on Thursday. Armstead's 2.8 yards per carry weren't great, and with Alfred Blue running the ball more efficiently than Armstead, the rookie might be falling behind in the battle to be Leonard Fournette's main backup. Armstead also […]
Gardner Minshew Has Mediocre Debut
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew's preseason debut didn't go the way he was hoping. The rookie was 7-for-14 throwing the ball for 46 yards. He didn't throw a touchdown or an interception. Minshew also added three rushing yards on two carries. It wasn't a great performance, but it did surpass that of his competition for […]
Jaguars Resting Most Starters Against Ravens
The Jacksonville Jaguars have a long list of inactives for Thursday's preseason meeting with the Ravens. Quarterback Nick Foles won't make his Jaguars debut. Neither will wide receiver Chris Conley, while running back Leonard Fournette and wide receivers Marqise Lee, Dede Westbrook, D.J. Chark, and Terrelle Pryor. The Jaguars are taking resting their starters in […]
Fool Me Once... Sophomore Wide Receivers Set to Bust Again
Players are supposed to make a leap in their second season, but the past few years have been littered with wide receivers who just...didn't. Kevin White. Devante Parker. Breshad Perriman. Corey Coleman. Josh Doctson. Laquon Treadwell. Without even looking past the first round, we've got a good list of disappointing football players. The 2018 wide […]
Chris Conley Continues To Turn Heads For Jags
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Chris Conley has been impressive during offseason workouts and into training camp. He stood out during joint practices with the Baltimore Ravens, and he has reportedly jelled nicely with quarterback Nick Foles, whom he worked with briefly with the Kansas City Chiefs. Wide receivers coach Keenan McCardell stresses for the receivers […]
How to Value 2019 QB/RB Rookies in Dynasty (Premium Content)
Dynasty franchises don't restart, they reload. Rookie drafts are meant to continually infuse youth to rosters and introduce the next generation of fantasy stars. Although this year wasn't rife with immediately impactful players at quarterback or running back, there is still value to be had if you know where to look. It's equally important for […]
How to Value 2019 WR/TE Rookies in Dynasty (Premium Content)
The dynasty world predictably revolves around youth. Often, draft picks are valued more than productive veteran players. For some, this is viewed as a practical way to build for the future. For others, it's just a matter of valuing talent and potential over all else. It's called Shiny New Toy syndrome. Regardless of the reason, […]
Leonard Fournette Could Factor In Pass Game
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette should play a role in the passing game this year, says John Oehser of Jaguars.com. While we heard the same thing before last season, the Jaguars had a strong pass-catching back in T.J. Yeldon at that point. Now, Fournette's main backups work much better as early-down guys, so there […]
Spencer Aguiar's 2019 QB Projections and Rankings
I believe all leagues are different and understanding the rules and settings will always be the deciding factor, but an interesting dichotomy has taken place recently of when it is acceptable to draft your quarterback. I am of the mindset, like most people nowadays, that waiting is better, but are we beginning to reach a […]
Yannick Ngakoue Reports To Camp
Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Yannick Ngakoue has reported to camp, ending his holdout. Ngakoue was in search of a better contract situation after collecting 29.5 sacks and 10 forced fumbles over his first three years in the NFL. Ngakoue is a vital part of the Jaguars defense, so his return is good news for anyone […]
Marqise Lee May Not Have Significant Role
With Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marqise Lee (knee) still not practicing, the Jaguars have gone with a three-receiver set of Dede Westbrook, D.J. Chark, and Chris Conley so far. The assumption was that Lee would replace one of those guys when healthy, but it's starting to sound like that may not be the case. 1010XL's […]
Geoff Swaim Set To Be Starting Tight End
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Geoff Swaim is the team's starting tight end heading into the season, says Hays Carlyon of 1010XL. There was competition between Swaim and rookie Josh Oliver, but a hamstring injury has set Oliver back and helped hand the role to Swaim. Swaim spent the first four years of his career in […]
