Leonard Fournette Ready For Big Day Against Giants

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette should have a big day in Jacksonville's season-opening game against the New York Giants. Fournette is coming off a strong rookie season in which he rushed for 1,040 yards and nine touchdowns and should remain the focal point of the Jaguars offense this season. On Sunday, he'll face a […]

Blake Bortles Set For Strong Start To Season

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles has had his share of struggles over the course of the preseason, but he's set to have a strong start to his 2018 campaign on Sunday when the Jaguars visit the New York Giants. The Giants allowed more fantasy points to quarterbacks than any other defense during the 2017 season. […]

Jaguars Have High Expectations For Blake Bortles

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said he wants "zero turnovers" from quarterback Blake Bortles in 2018. While that's obviously unrealistic, Bortles didn't have a single turnover in three playoff games last year and also finished the season with a career-low 13 interceptions. During the preseason, Bortles had three picks and a 67.3 completion rate. […]

Austin Seferian-Jenkins Not Expected To Practice

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins (core) is not expected to practice on Wednesday. It's unclear whether ASJ is actually in danger of sitting out in Week 1 against the Giants, but we'll likely know more later this week. Seferian-Jenkins is a low-end TE1 if he suits up, but the Giants were gashed by tight […]

Donte Moncrief Listed As Starter

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Donte Moncrief is listed as one of the team's two starting wide receivers on the team's initial depth chart ahead of the team's Week 1 game against the New York Giants.

The Running Back Handcuff Hedge - Who To Handcuff

This article was updated on 9/4 to account for the Jerick McKinnon and D'Onta Foreman injury updates.

Donte Moncrief (WR, JAX) - Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~200 CURRENT ADP: ~210 ANALYSIS: While Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Donte Moncrief has shown that he can be a weapon in the red zone, he has yet to become the complete wide receiver many believed he could be following his 733 yard, six touchdown performance in 2015. In 2016, Moncrief was limited to just […]

As draft season nears its end, it is important to remember that there is good value late in the drafts. Lottery ticket picks that work out often end up being difference-makers for the fantasy owners that select the aforementioned players.

To Handcuff or Not to Handcuff at RB?

Handcuffing running backs has been a long-standing practice when it comes to assembling a fantasy team. When you draft a stud running back in a great situation, you're hoping you can keep a hold on that situation all season. We've seen backup running backs carry teams to championships in the past, such as the famous […]

2018 Fantasy Football Sleeper - Quincy Enunwa

Nothing went right for the New York Jets in 2017. From the "scam for Sam," which cost them three extra second-round picks because they decided to win in Week 17, to the injury suffered by Quincy Enunwa who was supposed to be their number one receiver. With Enunwa out for the season, Robby Anderson was […]

Austin Seferian-Jenkins (TE, JAX) - Fantasy Football Draft Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Target ~175 CURRENT ADP: ~190 ANALYSIS: Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins only played in 25 games from 2014-2016, which left him with uninspiring seasonal averages during that span (18 receptions/237 yards). However, after playing 655 offensive snaps in 13 games for the Jets last season, Seferian-Jenkins easily eclipsed those numbers (50 receptions/357 yards). He also […]

Dede Westbrook (WR, JAX) - Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target ~140 CURRENT ADP: ~170 ANALYSIS: Westbrook made the most of his limited opportunities last season. With no Allen Hurns or Allen Robinson on the field, Westbrook stepped up and became one of Bortles' go-to guys. Now with Hurns and Robinson gone, and the injury to Marqise Lee, Westbrook has the chance to shine all […]

Keelan Cole (WR, JAX) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target ~120 CURRENT ADP: ~160 ANALYSIS: Marqise Lee has been ruled out for the season, leaving the Jags without their top returning receiver. Keelan Cole was already the other wide receiver to own on this team, and he now gets a big bump and should see his ADP rise. Dede Westbrook and Donte Moncrief appear to […]

According to First Coast News reporter Mike Kaye, Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jaydon Mickens has made the team's final roster.

Later-Round Wide Receivers Who'll Outperform Their ADP
