Jacksonville Jaguars Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Jaguars WR Christian Kirk led the team in receiving in Week 4 vs. the Falcons, hauling in 8 of 12 targets for 84 yards. Teammate Calvin Ridley saw limited involvement with 2 targets, though he found the end zone on busted coverage in the first quarter. TE Evan Engram also had a solid outing, corralling 7 of 8 targets for 59 yards. The Jaguars’ offense started to show some signs of improvement in London. We’ll see if they can keep their success going stateside when they return to face the Bills in Week 5.

Jaguars RB Travis Etienne recorded 20 carries for 55 yards in Sunday’s win vs. the Falcons. He also hauled all 3 of his targets for 17 yards as a receiver. This effort didn’t result in the biggest fantasy day, but the fact that Etienne again dwarfed his positional counterparts in touch opportunities should be encouraging. He’ll look to have a more productive outing in Week 5 vs. the Bills.

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence completed 23 passes on 30 attempts for 201 yards with 1 TD in Week 4’s win vs. the Falcons. He also showed off his legs in London, totaling 42 yards on 8 carries in the contest. Sunday’s effort was the best we’ve seen from the Jaguars so far this season. Their defense lent a helping hand with a TD of their own, but managers worried about Lawrence and company ought to be encouraged by their results. Jacksonville will look to keep this momentum going in Week 5 vs. the Bills.

The Jaguars expect WR Zay Jones back from his knee injury next week, ESPN's Chris Fowler said during the London game. Jones has yet to practice since hurting his knee back in Week 2. We'll track his status this coming week.

Jaguars WR Jamal Agnew (quad) is inactive for today's game vs. the Falcons in London. He joins WR Zay Jones (knee) on the inactive list. That leaves WRs Tim Jones, Parker Washington, and Jacob Harris behind WRs Calvin Ridley and Christian Kirk.

Jaguars WR Zay Jones (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday morning's game vs. the Falcons. He's yet to practice since hurting that knee in Week 2. His absence leaves a handful of targets to go around for WR Calvin Ridley, WR Christian Kirk, and TE Evan Engram.

Jaguars LB Devin Lloyd had surgery Wednesday on the right thumb he injured in Sunday's loss to the Texans. He will not travel with the team for its two-game visit to London. That means fellow second-year LB Chad Muma will jump into the starting lineup the next two weeks. Muma got two starts in place of Lloyd last season, delivering 9 and 11 tackles in those games. He added 1.5 sacks in the second. Muma looks at least as good for IDP lineups as Lloyd, and quite possibly better. Lloyd has been a shaky performer since arriving late in the first round of the 2022 draft.

Jaguars HC Doug Pederson called WR Zay Jones (knee) a "long shot" to play vs. the Falcons in London on Sunday morning. WR Christian Kirk got a playing-time boost with Jones out last week, running a route on 89.8% of Jacksonville's pass plays. He's a much safer fantasy play with Jones out.

Jaguars TE Evan Engram hauled in 7 of 8 targets for a team-leading 67 receiving yards in Sunday’s loss vs. the Texans. Teammate WR Christian Kirk struggled for much of the contest before finding the end zone on a 26-yard dart. Perhaps the biggest concern from Week 3 is WR Calvin Ridley. The veteran only roped in 3 of 7 targets for 40 yards and dropped two passes in the end zone. This is the second week in a row that Ridley and QB Trevor Lawrence failed to get on the same page, despite abundant efforts. We’re starting to get a little nervous about this offense headed toward Week 4 vs. the Falcons.

Jaguars RB Travis Etienne shined as the lone bright spot for this offense in Week 3. The third-year pro compiled 138 total yards across 19 carries and 4 catches vs. the Texans. Etienne continues to face little backfield competition from his teammates Tank Bigsby (2 carries, 10 yards, 1 TD) and D’Ernest Johnson (3 carries, 6 yards) and should figure to have another good game next week vs. the Falcons. It remains to be seen if we can say the same about any of his skill-position teammates. This Jacksonville offense is experiencing major troubles thus far in 2023.

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence completed 27 passes on 40 attempts for 279 yards with 1 TD and INT apiece in Week 3’s loss vs. the Texans. Something just isn’t clicking with this Jacksonville offense so far this season. Lawrence is now averaging 13.78 fantasy points per game through three weeks. We’d figured the Texans wouldn’t be such a tough obstacle for the Jaguars, so these results are pretty jarring. We’ll see if they can put anything together in Week 4 vs. the Falcons, though it might be time for legitimate concern.

Patriots QB Mac Jones completed 15 of 29 passes for 201 yards with 1 TD and no INTs in Week 3’s win vs. the Jets. He also added 13 rushing yards on 4 carries in the contest. Between the bad weather and the Jets’ offense playing poorly, Jones didn’t have to accomplish much to help secure the W. Next week, he’ll have a tough matchup against the Cowboys.

Jaguars Edge Josh Allen (shoulder) is active for today's game against the Texans. He and the Jaguars' team defense are in a high-upside spot for Week 3.

Jaguars WR Zay Jones (knee) has been ruled out for Week 3 vs. the Texans. His absence should lead to greater opportunity for teammate Christian Kirk to build upon his resurgent 14-catch, 110-receiving-yard performance from last Sunday. See where Kirk lands in our current WR rankings.

Jaguars WR Zay Jones (knee) missed his second straight practice on Thursday. He's seemingly in danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Titans. Jones' absence would boost the target projections for Calvin Ridley, Christian Kirk, and Evan Engram.

Jaguars Edge Josh Allen managed a limited practice Wednesday. That's good news after he left Sunday's loss to the Chiefs early with a shoulder injury. We'll keep watching his progress through the week. Make sure you have an insurance option available.

Jaguars WR Zay Jones (knee) won't practice on Wednesday, HC Doug Pederson said. Pederson labeled Jones "day-to-day." He was able to return to last weekend's loss to the Chiefs, so Jones seemingly has a shot to play vs. the Texans this weekend. But he wouldn't be a strong fantasy play at less than 100%.

Jaguars HC Doug Pederson labeled WR Zay Jones day-to-day with the knee injury he suffered in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs. Jones is still set for additional testing on the knee. He was able to return to the Week 2 game, so we're tentatively expecting him to be available for this weekend's game vs. the Texans. But we'll update his status when we know more.

Patriots QB Mac Jones completed 31 of 42 passes for 231 yards with 1 TD and INT apiece in Sunday night’s divisional loss vs. the Dolphins. He also added 25 rushing yards on 3 carries in Week 2. Though this performance didn’t do much for fantasy managers, it’s been a revelation to see how much New England is throwing the ball through two weeks of the OC Bill O’Brien era. It’s wise to keep expectations low for Jones looking forward to the Patriots’ next couple of games (Week 3 @ Jets, Week 4 @ Cowboys).

Jaguars RB Travis Etienne handled 15 of 17 team RB opportunities in a Week 2 loss to Kansas City. Rookie Tank Bigbsy didn't see a carry or a target, as D'Ernest Johnson filled in as the RB2. Etienne tallied just 42 total yards, but the usage signals future RB1 lines. Next up is a home date with a Houston squad that allowed Zack Moss to post 18-88-1 rushing.
