Jaguars Relying On Donte Moncrief
The Jacksonville Jaguars will be relying on wide receiver Donte Moncrief more than anyone after the season-ending injury to Marqise Lee (knee). Moncrief has the most experience of the team's receivers with 152 catches in 53 career games, and he's also the oldest receiver on the roster at 25 years old. He was inconsistent in […]

BALLER MOVE: Target ~160 CURRENT ADP: ~190 ANALYSIS: The 30-year-old Buffalo Bills running back Chris Ivory makes a return to the AFC East with the Buffalo Bills, having previously played for the New York Jets. A stint in between with the Jacksonville Jaguars saw Ivory be replaced as the starting running back by rookie Leonard Fournette in 2017. Ivory […]
Take A Hike - Drafting An Elite Quarterback
The popular sentiment these days is to wait on quarterbacks and draft them late so you can load up on position players first. While this can work in many cases, let’s look at the other angle and ponder taking a quarterback earlier in the draft. While this may not be everyone’s cup of tea, it […]
Jaguars Comfortable With Receiving Depth
Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said the team is "comfortable" with who they have on roster after the season-ending injury to wide receiver Marqise Lee (knee), meaning the team is unlikely to consider free-agent receiver Dez Bryant. With Lee now out for all of 2018, Keelan Cole, Dede Westbrook and Donte Moncrief will likely […]
Marqise Lee Out For The Season
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marqise Lee (knee) will miss the entire 2018 season after suffering a serious knee injury in the third preseason game over the weekend. He will undergo season-ending surgery and will be placed on Injured Reserve, according to head coach Doug Marrone. A source said that Lee suffered ligament damage in his […]
Rookie Roulette - Which First-Year RB Is #2 in Re-Draft?
Saquon Barkley will be the first running back drafted this year in re-draft leagues. There's no good faith argument I could make to convince you that some other running back deserves to be taken over Barkley, who will be a first round pick in most fantasy leagues. If you take a different rookie running back […]

Blake Bortles Tosses Pair Of Interceptions
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles went 17-for-23 for 204 yards in Saturday's preseason victory over the Atlanta Falcons, but the fifth-year passer also threw a pair of interceptions, continuing the uneven play that has marked his preseason and has plagued him throughout his NFL career. Bortles is securely set as the Jaguars starting quarterback this […]
Marqise Lee Carted Off Field
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marqise Lee was carted off the field during Saturday's preseason contest against Atlanta with a left knee injury. Lee went down after being hit by the helmet of Falcons safety Damontae Kazee. While more information is needed to know the extent of the injury, this is a potentially huge blow to […]
Offensive Line Power Rankings (Preseason)
The most basic aspects of football are blocking and tackling. Of course, the glory, girls, and in some instances paychecks go to the skill players, but the basis of a good offense in the NFL is the offensive line. Without a competent offensive line, an entire offense can crumble before your very eyes. Running backs […]
Why ZeroRB Didn't Work in 2017
For someone drafting 8th in a 10-man league last year, going Zero-RB could have potentially netted them a top-three round haul of Mike Evans, Jordy Nelson, and Demaryius Thomas. On draft day, this is an amazing stack of WR1s. By the end of the year, it's weekly middling to poor performances that the owners' highest draft […]

Jaguars Expect More Growth From Blake Bortles
To say that Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles has had his share of struggles through four NFL seasons would be an understatement, but Jacksonville's front office has been encouraged by Bortles's growth over the course of this offseason and expect him to show continued improvement in 2018. Bortles is coming off a season where he […]

Breakout Wide Receivers You Must Own in 2018
Oftentimes, the beginning of your draft is where you consolidate your starting lineup with top-tier talent and pick who you believe will finish as one of the best players at their position. The top of the draft is where your team usually separates itself from the rest as a true powerhouse for your season. However, […]
Dede Westbrook (WR, JAC) - 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Target ~165 CURRENT ADP: ~175 ANALYSIS: After turning heads in the 2017 preseason following a 4th round selection in the NFL Draft (despite winning the Biletnikoff Award, given to the NCAA's top wide receiver), Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook looked ready to play a complementary role to wide receivers Allen Robinson and Allen Hurns entering the season. […]
Leonard Fournette Could Play More Third Downs
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette could see more action on third down this year, according to head coach Doug Marrone. The Jaguars used Fournette on third down plays with the first team offense in Saturday's preseason game against the Vikings and Marrone said the second-year back "seems to be doing a good job" in […]
Austin Seferian-Jenkins Returns To Practice
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins, who missed Saturday's preseason game for undisclosed reasons, returned to practice on Monday. Whatever the issue was that cost Seferian-Jenkins a chance to play against the Vikings wasn't serious enough to cost him any practice time so far this week, so fantasy owners can safely assume that Seferian-Jenkins is […]

Corey Grant (RB, JAC) - 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Target ~240 CURRENT ADP: ~250 ANALYSIS: If you are a Leonard Fournette owner, there is a good chance that you also have T.J. Yeldon on your roster. While Yeldon would likely be first to get touches if Fournette is out, there is another name on this team in the backfield that should be a stash candidate. Running back Corey […]

Running Back Stat Sleepers - Elusiveness Rating
A lot of elements go into making a running back desirable for fantasy football. Opportunity, a good offensive line and a good offense are all key elements. However, something equally important is how elusive those running backs are, this includes avoiding tackles and gaining yards after contact. Often players who have these traits fall into […]
Ryan Grant (WR, IND) - 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Target ~220 CURRENT ADP: ~230 ANALYSIS: Andrew Luck is back, and wide receiver Ryan Grant now plays for the Colts. True, Grant was largely underwhelming over his four seasons for the ‘Skins, but he did show flashes of brilliance and is coming off the best season of his career – 573 yards, four TDs. He is […]
Stop That Hype Train! Michael Gallup
The loss of Dez Bryant to a salary disagreement and Jason Witten to ESPN leaves a huge hole in the Dallas Cowboys receiving ranks. The signing of Allen Hurns will help fill the void, but so will the drafting of rookie Michael Gallup. The problem is everyone is enamored by Gallup to the point where […]
Wide Receiver Stat Sleepers - Fantasy Points Per Target
How much value to place on targets is one of the biggest problems fantasy owners face when it comes to evaluating wide receivers. The logical assumption is that you can’t catch a ball that isn’t thrown your direction; meaning more targets equal more opportunities to produce. But, go ask Demaryius Thomas owners how that worked […]
