Jacksonville Jaguars Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

Jaguars LB Devin Lloyd (knee), S Darnell Savage (quad), and Edge Josh Hines-Allen (concussion) are officially active for today's game against the Colts. Hines-Allen arrives as easiy the top IDP prospect among them. Lloyd figures to be usable as well, especially with lead LB Foye Oluokun on short-term IR.

Jaguars TE Evan Engram (hamstring) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Colts. He got in three limited practices this week, so he should be back for Week 6. TE Brenton Strange gets another start today but would be a desperation fantasy play. He's averaged 4.7 targets, 2.7 catches, and 32 yards over the past three games.

Jaguars Edge Josh Hines-Allen has cleared the concussion protocol and will play today against the Colts. Use him as you normally would in IDP lineups.

Jaguars TE Evan Engram (hamstring) is "not tracking to play" vs. the Colts tomorrow, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Engram put in three limited practices this week but evidently isn't ready for game action yet. Barring a setback, he should play vs. the Bears next week. His absence keeps TE Brenton Strange in the lead role for another week. He's averaged 4.7 targets, 2.7 catches, and 32 yards over the past three games.

Jaguars TE Evan Engram (hamstring) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Colts. HC Doug Pederson said Friday that Engram will likely be a game-time decision. We’ll get Jacksonville’s inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday, but Engram will carry elevated risk in fantasy lineups if he suits up.

Jaguars TE Evan Engram (hamstring) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. It's his first practice since hurting his hamstring in pregame warmups ahead of Week 2. Engram seemingly has a good chance to return for Sunday's game vs. the Colts, but we'll keep you updated on his status over the next few days. An active Engram will be a top-8 TE play.

Jaguars Edge Josh Hines-Allen entered the concussion protocol after leaving Sunday's loss at Houston late. We'll see how he progresses ahead of Sunday's 1 p.m. ET game against the Colts.

Jaguars RB Travis Etienne is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Texans with a shoulder injury. He played two snaps before exiting but did not touch the ball. We'll update his status when we know more. Etienne's absence leaves Tank Bigsby as Jacksonville's lead back.

Update: Etienne returned at the end of the first quarter.

Jaguars LB Devin Lloyd (knee) is inactive for today's game against the Texans. With LB Foye Oluokun already on IR for a foot injury, that leaves Ventrel Miller and Chad Muma as the top 2 LBs for the game. It's tough to know exactly how much playing time to expect for either reserve. Oluokun dipped to 80-85% as the corps leader over the first two weeks, with Miller and Muma rotating in more than the Nos. 3-4 LBs did over the past couple of seasons. Each guy is a low-level IDP option for Week 4, though, with upside beyond their spots in our rankings. S Darnell Savage (quad) is also inactive.

Jaguars WR Gabe Davis (shoulder) is active for today’s game vs. the Texans. He was listed as questionable after being limited in practice all week. Davis would be a shaky Week 4 fantasy play.

The Jaguars have placed LB Foye Oluokun on IR for plantar fasciitis. That means he'll miss at least the next four games. Chad Muma and Ventrell Miller will each see playing-time boosts in Oluokun's absence. We'll have to see how the whole LB picture plays out, though. Muma has worked as the No. 3 LB for the Jaguars the past two years, but Miller played one more snap in last week's loss at Buffalo. LB Devin Lloyd is also questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans because of a knee injury. If Lloyd can't go, then Muma and Miller should both be in for starter-level snaps. Cameron DaSilva of Jaguars Wire reports that Lloyd's "expected to be OK" for the Houston game, though.

Jaguars WR Gabe Davis (shoulder) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Texans. He should play after putting in three limited practices, but hopefully Davis isn’t in your Week 4 fantasy plans. He’s totaled just 123 scoreless yards through three games in a struggling Jaguars offense.

Jaguars TE Evan Engram (hamstring) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Texans. He remained sidelined in practice all week, although HC Doug Pederson said Friday that Engram should have a good chance to return for Week 5. His absence this weekend again leaves Brenton Strange as Jacksonville’s lead TE. He’s tallied 3-65-0 and 2-12-1 lines the past two weeks.

Jaguars TE Evan Engram (hamstring) remained sidelined on Thursday. He's looking unlikely to play vs. the Texans this weekend. That'd mean another start for TE Brenton Strange, who's tallied 3-65-0 and 2-12-1 lines the past two weeks.

Jaguars TE Evan Engram (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. HC Doug Pederson said Tuesday that he expected Engram to be "close" to being able to play vs. the Texans this weekend, but this isn't a good start. We'll see if Engram is able to get back on the field tomorrow.

Jaguars LB Foye Oluokun is "expected to miss several weeks" with plantar fasciitis, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports. We'll watch for further details on his expected return timeline, but this is an issue that tends to linger. Players often play through plantar fasciitis, including Chargers QB Justin Herbert earlier this season. That Oluokun is expected to miss time suggests a more serious case. Jacksonville will increase the roles of LB Ventrell Miller and Chad Muma in Oluokun's absence. We'll see exactly how playing time breaks down.

Jaguars LB Foye Oluokun left in the second quarter of Monday night's loss to the Bills with a foot injury. Initially listed as questionable to return, he was downgraded to out before the end of the game.

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence was pulled late in Monday’s blowout loss to Buffalo. Before departing, Lawrence managed just 178 yards, 1 TD, and 1 INT on a 55.2% completion rate.

Jaguars RB Tank Bigsby (shoulder) is active for tonight's game vs. the Bills. He was limited in practice all week and listed as questionable, although HC Doug Pederson never sounded worried about Bigsby's availability for this one. We have him projected to play close to his normal role.

Jaguars RB Tank Bigsby (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Monday night's game vs. the Bills after a limited week of practice. HC Doug Pederson said multiple times this week that he expected Bigsby to be ready for this one, but he's evidently not a lock. Bigsby shouldn't be in Week 3 fantasy lineups.
