Austin Seferian-Jenkins Has Some Upside In Week 5

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins has struggled this season, not posting more than 25 yards in any game, but if there's a time for him to break out and find fantasy value it'll be in Week 5 against the Kansas City Chiefs, who allow the third-most points per game to opposing tight ends. Still, […]

Keelan Cole A Risky Play In Week 5

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Keelan Cole was targeted just three times against the Jets in Week 4, finishing with two catches for 15 yards in a game where Jacksonville's passing attack totaled 388 yards.

Dede Westbrook Has Upside In Week 5

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook exploded for 130 yards on nine receptions in Week 4 against the Jets and could find himself in line for another good outing against a struggling Chiefs defense. Westbrook was targeted a team-high 13 times against New York, suggesting that he's becoming one of quarterback Blake Bortles favorite targets. […]

T.J. Yeldon Has Chance To Shine In Week 5

Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon has dealt with an ankle injury all week, but it's not expected to keep him out of Sunday's meeting with the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs boast a defense that allows more fantasy points per game to running backs than any other team, and Yeldon has proven himself to […]

Blake Bortles A Strong Option Against Chiefs

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles is a strong fantasy option this week against the Kansas City Chiefs. Kansas City has allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing quarterback this season, while Bortles has a pair of games with more than 300 passing yards.

Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped Players (Week 5)

What a Week 4 we had! We are still on pace to have the most touchdowns in a single year in NFL history (over 1400) and on pace to break the single-season scoring record by 327 points. The average NFL game is seeing teams produce a combined 725 yards of offense per game which would […]

Blake Bortles Should Be Your Starting Quarterback

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles was seen as a huge bust through the first three and a half years of his career. But he seems to have turned things around over the last 10 or so regular season games. Bortles helped the Jags to their first playoff appearance since 2007 last year. Jacksonville selected the […]

What To Do With Your San Francisco 49ers in Fantasy?

The season-ending injury to Jimmy Garoppolo triggered a somber mood for the San Francisco 49ers season, especially from a fantasy perspective. C.J. Beathard is by no means a top-32 starting quarterback in the NFL, but he does have some familiarity with this offense in his second year. Still, the questions remain. Who can you realistically trust on […]

Selling False RB2s - Why It's OK To Bail Out Now

We seem to end up doing this same song and dance every year with running backs. Whether it's someone like a Bilal Powell or Tarik Cohen popping early only to fizzle out, or general disappointments like Jay Ajayi and Adrian Peterson circa 2017, it usually takes a bit of digging to figure out. Here we'll […]

Leonard Fournette, D.J. Hayden Ruled Out

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) and cornerback D.J. Hayden (toe) have been ruled out in Week 5 against the Chiefs. Fournette could wind up missing multiple games, as head coach Doug Marrone said he doesn't know how much time the running back will miss. The loss of Hayden will make it tougher to […]

Austin Seferian-Jenkins Expected To Miss Practice

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins (abdomen) is not expected to practice on Wednesday. Seferian-Jenkins has been battling this injury all year but has yet to miss a game. He hasn't gone over three catches or 25 yards yet, though, and remains an uninspiring touchdown-dependent TE2 for fantasy purposes.

T.J. Yeldon Expected To Practice Wednesday

Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon (ankle) is expected to practice on Wednesday. Yeldon should be fine for Week 5 against the Chiefs, and he'll one again be in the RB2 conversation with Leonard Fournette (hamstring) already ruled out. Kansas City's defense has been their weak point all season, and they allow the most fantasy […]

Life is easy if you have Todd Gurley or Alvin Kamara. Sadly, statistics say that only 8.3% of all fantasy owners in a typical 12-team league will own one of these players. That number drops further the more teams in your league. Lucky for you, we're here to help. The running back scene can be […]

Jaguars Work Out Orleans Darkwa, Matt Dayes

The Jacksonville Jaguars worked out free-agent running backs Orleans Darkwa and Matt Dayes on Tuesday. This is an indication that Leonard Fournette will miss multiple games after aggravating his hamstring injury in Week 4. In the meantime, T.J. Yeldon and Corey Grant should share the backfield duties. Yeldon will be an RB2 in a good […]

Week 5 Running Backs - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

As we enter Week 5, some of you are contending with massive disappointment regarding the production of running backs that you selected early in your draft process.

Week 5 Wide Receivers - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

Bye-weeks are here, and this is the most important time to work the waiver wire. If you set your roster up during the draft to deal with bye-weeks, then you may be in good shape.
