Jaguars | Washington catches 6 passes for 124 yards, two touchdowns in win over Eagles Sun Oct 11, 01:16 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Parker Washington caught 6 passes for 124 yards and two touchdowns on 9 targets in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. He was projected for 11.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 27.4.
| Footballguys view: Washington scored once on a long catch and run and then made a one-handed touchdown catch on fourth down late in the fourth quarter. He is making himself money on his next contract every week, and he came through for fantasy teams after a quiet couple of weeks. This game reminded us that Washington's ceiling is too high to bench him, including against the Texans next week. |

Jacksonville Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence completed 24 of 39 passes for 331 yards with 2 touchdowns and 1 interception and ran 3 times for 25 yards in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. He was projected for 17.5 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 22.7.
| Footballguys view: The Jaguars won this game thanks to a heroic kick return by Ameer Abdullah with eight seconds left to the Philadelphia side of the field to set up a 57-yard game-winning field goal by Cam Little after Jake Elliott had just hit what looked like a game-winning field goal. The game could have been easier for the Jaguars and bigger for the fantasy output of Lawrence and this offense, but the team was stopped on fourth down and goal and twice came away with no points after having first and goal at the one on both drives. Lawrence ended up being a good start against the tough Eagles defense thanks to two outstanding plays on touchdown catches by Parker Washington. Consider Lawrence a high floor play against the beleaguered Texans defense next week. |

Jacksonville Jaguars WR Parker Washington ran 1 time for 3 yards and also caught 1 pass for 7 yards on 3 targets in Sunday's 22-17 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. He was projected for 14.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 1.5.
| Footballguys view: Bengals nickel back Dax Hill was excellent and the Bengals had a good game plan against the Jaguars pass offense after the Steelers' play designs created multiple busted coverages in a loss last week. Washington is still worth playing as a WR3/Flex at worst against the Eagles defense, but we can see the full range of outcomes for him over the first four games. |

Jaguars WR Jakobi Meyers was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice as he continues to manage the thumb injury he suffered in training camp. RB LeQuint Allen Jr., DT DaVon Hamilton, CB Christian Braswell and rookie DT Albert Regis were also limited, while CB Jarrian Jones (hip) was a full participant. On the Bengals' side, starting S Jordan Battle and S Bryan Cook were limited ahead of Sunday's Week 4 matchup in Cincinnati.

As SI.com's John Shipley notes, Brian Thomas Jr. only played 23 snaps and ran 13 routes against the Patriots in Week 3. On a day when the Jaguars scored 35 points and had five different players reach the end zone, Thomas was thrown to only once: an eight-yard completion in the first half.
| Footballguys view: This wasn't a game script issue since Jakobi Meyers and Parker Washington each played 50 snaps and ran 27 and 28 routes, respectively. Sixth-round rookie receiver Josh Cameron played 23 snaps -- the same as Thomas -- and saw more targets despite running fewer routes. Thomas is a good player, but through three weeks, it seems like a new start would be best for both parties. The NFL trade deadline is Nov. 10. Fantasy managers invested in Thomas might want to hold to see if a change comes. But until then, it's hard to make a case for a spot in your lineup. |

Jacksonville Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence completed 19 of 29 passes for 182 yards with 3 touchdowns and 1 interception and added 4 times for 25 yards in Sunday's 35-6 win over the New England Patriots. He was projected for 17.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 20.8.
| Footballguys view: For the second time in two home games, Lawrence was so good that he was really only in passing mode for two and part of a third quarter in a romp over an overwhelmed opponent visiting Jacksonville. The Steelers exposed the Bengals pass defense in Week 3, so consider Lawrence a solid QB1 start against Cincinnati for Week 4. |

Jacksonville Jaguars WR Jakobi Meyers caught 7 passes for 64 yards and a touchdown on 8 targets in Sunday's 35-6 win over the New England Patriots. He was projected for 6.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 15.9.
| Footballguys view: Meyers was the best fantasy play in the Jaguars passing game with Christian Gonzalez blanketing Brian Thomas Jr. and Parker Washington only catching three balls (at least one was for a score). He'll be a weekly flex play going forward after scoring for the second time in three games. |

Jaguars WR Travis Hunter will see an increased role on both offense and defense starting with Sunday's Week 3 game against the Patriots. Head coach Liam Coen said on Wednesday the team was "gonna look at giving" Hunter more offensive snaps this week. Hunter played just four offensive snaps and 29 on defense in Week 1.
| Footballguys view: We'll believe Coen here, but only to a certain point. Hunter has a great desire to play both ways, but he's been more effective as a corner than as a wide receiver during his pro career. Fantasy GMs are hopeful, as Hunter is an incredible athlete, but he could prove to be inconsistent if he does pop on offense for a game. Getting Hunter more snaps is on Coen's mind, but will he be consistent with that mindset? Will Hunter respond with great play and make Coen play him more? All fair questions the fantasy world is pondering when it comes to Hunter. |

Jaguars WR Jakobi Meyers (thumb) was a full participant in Friday's practice after being limited in an earlier session this week.
| Footballguys view: Meyers has managed this thumb injury since training camp, and it hasn't affected his play. He's been a full-time player and has been running a lot of routes, but the ball hasn't been going his way. It's hard to trust him in Week 3 lineups. |

Jaguars head coach Liam Coen said on Wednesday that Jacksonville WR/CB Travis Hunter will see increased offensive usage against the Patriots in Week 3. Josh Alper of ProFootballTalk.com reports that Coen called Hunter's role "a balancing act that you're continuously working through," adding, "We're gonna look at giving him some more this week." In Week 2, Hunter played cornerback on 60 percent of defensive snaps but was on the field for only 10 percent of offensive snaps.
| Footballguys view: Hunter is barely playing on offense this year. The Jaguars have a jam-packed wide receiver room when everyone is healthy, and Hunter has struggled to find a spot in the pecking order. Coen is one of the most creative offensive minds in the NFL, so he'll be figuring out a way to use Hunter a bit more. However, there may not be much fantasy potential even if/when Hunter does get a larger role. |

Jacksonville Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. (shoulder) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
| Footballguys view: The Jaguars travel to play the Denver Broncos this weekend. Reports indicate this could be a reaggravation of the shoulder injury Thomas suffered in training camp. Jaguars HC Liam Coen says Thomas will play in Week 2. He's a WR4/deep flex if he plays on Sunday. |
Brian Thomas Jr. player page
Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas is managing a shoulder injury after the team's season-opening win over the Browns. Coach Liam Coen told reporters on Monday that the wideout will be limited in practice over the coming days. Coen does not expect the injury to impact Thomas' availability against the Broncos in Week 2, however.
| Footballguys view: "I fully imagine him being able to play this game, no issues, just might not be able to get hit throughout the week or something," Coen said. Thomas had three catches for 40 yards on Sunday. We'll be monitoring all week. |

Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. (shoulder) left the Week 1 game against the Cleveland Browns briefly due to a shoulder injury, but he was able to return to action.
| Footballguys view: Thomas finished with three receptions for 40 yards on three targets, and he surpassed 2,000 career receiving yards in the first half. He is the second-youngest player in franchise history to reach the milestone. As USA Today noted, Parker Washington appears to be the top dog in the passing game right now, but there is still plenty of room for Thomas to be a useful WR4 or flex fantasy option in leagues of 12 or more teams. |
Brian Thomas Jr. player page
Brian Thomas Jr. left the Week 1 game in the first half after suffering a shoulder injury. He had three catches for 40 yards before his departure, but did not add any catches after that.
| Footballguys view: Thomas was warming up and potentially on his way to a very good day before he briefly left the game. We'll be watching the practice reports to see if we should expect him to be fully healthy for the Week 2 game at Denver. |

Bhayshul Tuten led the Jaguars with 15 carries for 66 yards and he caught his only target for a 22-yard gain. Chris Rodriguez managed 23 yards on his six carries.
| Footballguys view: This was a relatively even split in the first half, but Tuten pulled away in the second half, and Ameer Abdullah got some of the garbage time work. Rodriguez isn't going to be set up for much better game scripts than this, so at least for now it appears that he is only worth carrying as a Tuten injury upside hold. The Jaguars offense is a good one to be attached to, but Rodriguez isn't an essential hold in short bench leagues. |

Parker Washington caught five of six targets for 83 yards and a touchdown to lead the Jaguars receivers in the 34-10 win against Cleveland.
| Footballguys view: Washington's 30-yard touchdown was a gorgeous diving catch on an afternoon when most everything came easy for the Jaguars pass offense. This was only a game for a little over a half, but one should expect Washington to have a higher ceiling in games that are more competitive, like next week's game at Denver, where Washington posted a 6-145-1 line in a 34-20 win last year. |

Trevor Lawrence completed 18 of 23 pass attempts for 245 yards and four touchdowns with no interceptions.
| Footballguys view: Lawrence picked up right where he left off when he was the hottest quarterback in fantasy football at the end of the 2025 regular season. We will have to check on Brian Thomas Jr. and his shoulder injury which caused him to briefly leave the game, but rookie sixth round pick Josh Cameron scored, beating Denzel Ward, the Browns best corner. Lawrence has a tough matchup at Denver next week, but Lawrence accounted for four scores there last year in a 34-20 win. |

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. |
Jakobi Meyers player page
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. |
