Jakobi Meyers off injury report, LeQuint Allen Jr. questionable for Week 1 Fri Sep 11, 07:41 PM
Jakobi Meyers (thumb) is off the final injury report for Week 1's game against the Browns, while LeQuint Allen Jr. (hip) is officially questionable.
| Footballguys view: Despite his inability to log a full practice this week, Meyers was removed from the final injury report and will play in Week 1. Meyers jammed his thumb in a mid-August joint practice with the Panthers and has been limited in practice since. He'll likely slot in as the third option behind Brian Thomas Jr. and Parker Washington. But with the Jaguars' reliance on three-receiver sets and the high-scoring nature of this offense, Meyers has some flex appeal coming into the matchup. Regarding Allen, it's promising that he returned to practice on Friday, but he's been out nearly a full month after suffering a hip injury. If he can't go, Bhayshul Tuten is the biggest beneficiary, likely seeing extended work on passing downs. Allen doesn't belong in any fantasy lineups, but his absence does clear the way for Tuten and, to a lesser extent, Chris Rodriguez Jr. |

Jacksonville Jaguars HC Liam Coen said RB LeQuint Allen (undisclosed) is a game-time decision for Week 1 against the Browns.
| Footballguys view: Allen is a young back we appreciate in super deep dynasty formats. If he doesn't play against the Browns on Sunday, the Jaguars turn to more Chris Rodriguez. They have Bhayshul Tuten as a co-starter, and both backs will do more if Allen isn't out there. |
The Jaguars listed Bhayshul Tuten and Chris Rodriguez as co-starters on the first regular season depth chart.
| Footballguys view: Fantasy managers should assume a shared workload, which, as ESPN.com's Michael DiRocco suggests, means there could be a different leading rusher each week. Travis Etienne Jr. had 70% of the team's running back carries in 2025 before leaving for the New Orleans Saints in free agency. For 2026, coach Liam Coen has said the breakdown between Rodriguez and Tuten should be more equitable. "We're going to have to be a little bit more by committee," Coen said last month. Both Tuten (RB33) and Rodriguez (RB44) are projected as flex-level plays this week. |

Mike DiRocco, from ESPN, reports Jacksonville Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence worked this offseason to gain a "graduate level understanding" of Liam Coen's offense.
| Footballguys view: Last year, in his first year in the Coen offense, Lawrence was trying to learn the offense while playing through/with injury. This offseason, Lawrence has worked diligently to further understand progressions and adjustments. He's an elite-level player, and there's a chance Lawrence could finish 2026 as the no.1 fantasy quarterback. |

Jaguars general manager James Gladstone said this week the Jaguars would be open to negotiating a deal with fourth-year wide receiver Parker Washington during the season.
| Footballguys view: The Jaguars are open to getting something done with Washington as he enters the final year of his rookie contract. Washington is coming off career-best numbers in 2025 (58 catches, 847 yards, five touchdowns) and should best those totals this year. Fantasy GMs are excited about Washington's upside as the no.1 receiver for the Jaguars' offense. We like him as a WR2/flex option from a fantasy perspective. |

Jacksonville Jaguars HC Liam Coen said WR Jakobi Meyers (thumb) returned to practice on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: There's no word as to whether or not Meyers is still wearing the brace on his hand due to this thumb injury. The team is easing Meyers back into action as they prepare for Week 1 against the Browns. Parker Washington and Brian Thomas Jr will work ahead of Meyers in the pecking order. However, Meyers could be a deep flex play to begin the regular season. |

Jacksonville Jaguars HC Liam Coen said he would be "pleasantly surprised" if RB LeQuint Allen Jr. (soft tissue) played in Week 1 against the Cleveland Browns.
| Footballguys view: Allen is a player we appreciate in deep dynasty formats, but he has little value right now in redraft leagues. Bhayshul Tuten is the lead back, but Chris Rodriguez might get more work because of his ability to protect the quarterback. That makes Tuten more of a flex play, especially in non-PPR leagues, as he may not get as much work on passing downs if the team doesn't trust his pass protection. |

Miami Dolphins QB Quinn Ewers is being acquired by the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to a source. The teams will be exchanging 2028 late-round picks as part of the trade.
| Footballguys view: The Jaguars are in a Super Bowl window, and they are looking to upgrade behind starting QB Trevor Lawrence. Ewers can learn quite a bit from HC Liam Coen, and he could compete with Nick Mullens for the no.2 job in Jacksonville. In crazy deep dynasty formats, this move low-key has us intrigued as Coen is a noted 'quarterback whisperer' and could get the most from Ewers. |
Jacksonville Jaguars RB LeQuint Allen (undisclosed) is sidelined because of a soft tissue injury, but there is no indication that he will need to start the regular season on the Reserve/Injured list.
| Footballguys view: Whatever added upside there will be for Bhayshul Tuten or Chris Rodriguez (it's not clear if either or both would help replace Allen early in the season) will be short-lived. |
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Travis Hunter, for the last two weeks, has taken snaps 'almost exclusively at cornerback' during practice, according to Sports Illustrated's John Shipley.
| Footballguys view: Hunter is a late round pick at best right now, but he has the talent to be a very good fantasy wide receiver if injuries or a change of plans gives him the opportunity on offense. If he is listed at corner, he is still a good IDP pick this season. |
Jacksonville Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten needs to pay faster and trust his reads, according to head coach Liam Coen. 'We've just got to continue to work on his tracks, reading his keys, and just go play,' Coen said. 'Not overthinking where the ball maybe should go or could go, and just stick your foot in the ground and get north because when he does that, and he gets his shoulders square and downhill, it can be impressive.'
| Footballguys view: Coen has previously said the team would use an RBBC approach this season with Tuten and RB Chris Rodriguez. Tuten is going off the board at RB28 (6.05) and Rodriguez at RB46 (13.09) in 12-team PPR formats. A second-year back, Tuten has incredible upside as a ball-carrier because of his home-run speed. It sounds like Coen believes the young back has some important things to work on in order to get the most out of his potential. |
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. is 'all right' after suffering an apparent shoulder injury on Tuesday, Aug. 25, according to head coach Liam Coen.
| Footballguys view: Thomas hauled in a highlight-reel catch for a 40-yard gain, but came up grabbing his shoulder after the play. He was ultimately sidelined for the remainder of practice but ultimately avoided significant injury and isn't expected to miss much time ahead of the start of the regular season. While Parker Washington is the first Jaguars wideout off the board as WR30, Thomas appears to be on track for a rebound season, which is reflected in his WR33 ADP. |
Free-agent DT Tommy Akingbesote was signed by the Jacksonville Jaguars Sunday, Aug. 23. Terms of the deal were undisclosed. The team also waived CB Devon Marshall with an injury designation.
Link to storyJacksonville Jaguars WR Jakobi Meyers (hand) did not practice Sunday, Aug. 23. He has been dealing with a jammed thumb, and he has been wearing a brace on his right hand. Meyers reportedly wants to see some action in a preseason game before the regular season starts, however.
| Footballguys view: If you needed any more confirmation that Parker Washington would be at the top of the Jaguars target pecking order to begin the season, here you go. He is still undervalued in the sixth round of PPR drafts. |

Link to storyJacksonville Jaguars WR Parker Washington (undisclosed injury) is expected to return to practice next week.
| Footballguys view: The issue will certainly keep Washington from playing in Friday's preseason contest against the Panthers. It remains to be seen if Washington will see any action in the Jaguars' Aug. 28 exhibition finale, but, as CBSSports.com suggests, it doesn't appear at this time that his Week 1 status is in question. Entering his fourth season, Washington appeared in 16 games with seven starts last year, catching 58 passes for 847 yards with five touchdowns. Washington is being drafted as WR31 in Round 6. He has upside at that price. |

Jacksonville Jaguars RB LeQuint Allen will miss the rest of training camp after suffering a soft-tissue injury in practice.
| Footballguys view: Even though he's listed behind Bhayshul Tuten and Chris Rodriguez Jr., Allen is the best blocker of the bunch and an outstanding pass-catcher. These traits made him a candidate to have an increased role on offense this season. Allen has time to recover for the season opener. If he's back at full strength by then, as expected, he'll be in a position to be a role player in this offense. Not having him would take away one dimension from the passing game, but it might also lead to more work for Tuten. We'll be watching for more. |

Jacksonville Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten and RB Chris Rodriguez are listed as co-starters on the team's first unofficial depth chart.
| Footballguys view: HC Liam Coen said last month that the team is expecting Tuten to have a big year for them, but Tuten has not nailed down the top spot on the depth chart. As CBSSports.com reminded readers, preseason depth charts can often be taken with a grain of salt. Still, in this case the "Tuten or Rodriguez" listing aligns with the notion that the Jaguars will employ a committee approach -- possibly resulting in Tuten and Rodriguez forming a 1A/1B combo. Adding to the intrigue, LeQuint Allen could factor in on third downs. Stay tuned. We'll be watching this one closely. |

Link to storyJacksonville Jaguars CB/WR Travis Hunter took 13 defensive snaps and four offensive snaps Thursday, Aug. 6. He has played 103 total snaps in training camp with 64 on defense and 39 offense. He has one catch on one target.
| Footballguys view: That split sounds about right for what we should expect from Hunter this year - about 38% of offensive snaps and 62% of defensive snaps. He could play more than that, but the ratio should be close that proportion even it is on a higher percentage of snaps on both sides of the ball. Hunter is an upside bench stash in fantasy leagues right now, which is in line with this outlook. Early reports have him taking most of his offensive snaps on the outside, which is good news for Parker Washington's fantasy outlook. |

Jacksonville Jaguars OL Trystan Colon was placed on the reserve/retired list on Tuesday, Aug. 4. He played six seasons in the NFL.
Link to storyJacksonville Jaguars WR Parker Washington has 'routinely been the top target' for QB Trevor Lawrence during training camp, according to John Shipley of SI.com.
| Footballguys view: Another day, another item that indicates that Washington's hot finish to 2025 was more than new norm than a fluke. He's a great value in PPR leagues at his current ADP in the sixth round, and would probably be a value in the fifth round at this point too. |

Jacksonville Jaguars WR Travis Hunter has continued to develop as a receiver, according to offensive coordinator Grant Udinski.'He's continued to progress from a route technique fundamental standpoint, but also a knowledge of the offense and just the system in general,' Udinski said.
| Footballguys view: There are no signs that Hunter will have a large offensive role, but there are no signs that the Jaguars are going to stop using him on offense either. As long as Hunter gets to plays a few snaps with the offense, the door will be open for him to gain fantasy value either due to injury or his play earning him more targets. He remains one of the highest upside picks on the board in the second half of drafts. |

Jacksonville Jaguars RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. (foot) received a few snaps during team drills Sunday, Aug. 2, for the first time since the start of training camp. He is being eased back into practice since he had offseason foot surgery.
| Footballguys view: Bhayshul Tuten has done everything he can to show the Jaguars that he can be a true lead back while Rodriguez has been on the mend from offseason foot surgery. Tuten's ADP should be going up and Rodriguez's down knowing that Rodriguez won't have much of a chance to answer Tuten's performance this summer. The good news for Rodriguez is that head coach Liam Coen has basically said that he knows what Rodriguez can do from their time together at the University of Kentucky. There's room for both backs to be hits at ADP if the Jaguars running game gets on track this year. |
