Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook is coming off one of his best weeks of the 2018 NFL season but has a different quarterback delivering his passes this week, as Cody Kessler will be at the helm in Jacksonville.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Carlos Hyde heads into Week 13 with the highest upside he has had for fantasy owners since arriving in Jacksonville earlier in the season.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie wide receiver D.J. Chark (quadriceps) will miss his second straight day of practice on Thursday.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie wide receiver D.J. Chark (quadriceps) missed practice on Wednesday. After sitting out in Week 12, it looks like Chark is set to miss another game.

Jalen Ramsey Could Miss Week 13

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said there is a high level of concern that cornerback Jalen Ramsey (knee) won't be able to play in Week 13 against the Colts.
