Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten was working inside during the open media portion of practice on Wednesday. WR Jakobi Meyers was also inside during that portion of practice.
| Footballguys view: Tuten didn't practice at all last week, but he still rushed 12 times for 29 yards and a touchdown in the Jaguars' Week 9 win over the Ravens. He could be in line for the same treatment during the week this time around as the team prepares for a game against the hapless Titans. |

The Eagles traded DT Jordan Davis to the Jaguars on Monday for a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-round pick, the team announced. Davis, 26, signed a three-year, $78 million extension eight months ago and had half a sack, no tackles for loss and two QB hits through the first eight weeks after posting 4.5 sacks and nine tackles for loss last season. He is coming off his best game of the season, with a sack, two tackles for loss, a QB hit and three tackles in Sunday's loss to the Giants. The move clears the way for the Eagles to keep DT Moro Ojomo, whom they had been expected to either trade before Tuesday's deadline or lose in free agency.

The Jaguars are trading a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-round pick to the Eagles for defensive tackle Jordan Davis, sources tell ESPN.
| Footballguys view: This is the Jaguars' third trade for a defensive player today, while the Eagles are now poised to have 10 picks in the first two rounds of the next three drafts. |
The Falcons are trading former Pro Bowl S Jessie Bates III to the Jaguars in exchange for a 2027 second-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick.
| Footballguys view: Bates signed with Atlanta in 2023 and started all 60 possible games with the team, totaling 14 interceptions, 11 forced fumbles and 392 tackles. Jacksonville explored the safety market after recently losing S Eric Murray to a season-ending injury. |

Jaguars WR Parker Washington had an opportunity to sign a new contract before the start of the season and decided not to. "He bet on himself," and the Jaguars "weren't bothered by it one bit. They love it."

Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten (ankle, foot) is active for Thursday night's game at the Ravens after being listed as questionable. Tuten's pregame workout went well and confirmed he would play. RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. "should still see a good bit" of action Thursday night as well.

Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten is good to go for Thursday night's game against the Ravens after his pregame workout. Tuten was listed as questionable with an ankle injury, and ESPN's Jeremy Fowler had reported earlier Thursday that he 'should be' good for the game barring any pregame setbacks.

Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten's injuries are putting his status for Thursday night's game at the Ravens in jeopardy. Tuten is officially questionable with an ankle injury after missing practice all week.

Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten (ankle, foot) will be a game-time decision for Thursday's game at the Ravens, head coach Liam Coen said on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: Coen said Tuten told him he feels better, but Tuten has three DNPs in practice this week. RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. would have a larger role if Tuten is out. We view Rodriguez as a flex play with upside if Tuten can't play on Thursday Night Football. |

Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten (ankle, foot) could be a game-time decision for Thursday night's game at the Ravens, head coach Liam Coen said on Wednesday. Tuten was estimated as a non-participant on Monday and was the only player not spotted at Tuesday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Fantasy GMs need to make other plans here. An option for you could be Chris Rodriguez, and without Tuten on the field, he could get a sizable workload. If Tuten can't play, we view Rodriguez as a flex play with upside. |

Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten (foot) was the only player not spotted during the open media portion of practice on Tuesday. Tuten was estimated as a non-participant on Monday's practice report. Jacksonville plays at Baltimore on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: The short week doesn't do Tuten any favors, as the timeline is condensed with the Thursday night kickoff. That said, the Jaguars could just be giving him a break because of that -- especially after he handled a heavy workload in Week 8. If Tuten were to miss the contest, Chris Rodriguez Jr. becomes the primary back. We'll be following up on this one as developments warrant. |

Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten (ankle/foot) was estimated as a non-participant on Monday's practice report. Tuten ran for 104 yards and a touchdown and added 55 receiving yards and a receiving touchdown in Sunday's win over the Colts.

The Chiefs, Steelers and Commanders have interest in Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. The Jaguars have not shown much inclination to trade him, even if Thomas would prefer a fresh start. "Contenders usually aren't sellers at the trade deadline."
| Footballguys view: Currently, the Chiefs, Steelers, and Commanders have interest. According to PFT, the Steelers have greater interest in the Colts Josh Downs. Downs, however, is Kansas City's Plan B if they can't get Thomas away from the Jaguars. The Jaguars have no real incentive to move him unless they get a big offer. We'll see if it comes. The trade deadline is Nov. 10. |

Jacksonville Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence completed 10 of 14 passes for 210 yards with 3 touchdowns and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 42-7 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He was projected for 20.5 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 19.4.
| Footballguys view: Lawrence was outstanding just as he was in home blowouts of the Browns and Patriots, and he barely had to throw in the second half in a blowout win. This is lowering the upside for him and the whole passing game in lopsided matchups. Thursday's game at Baltimore could be another, with the Ravens likely forced to start a rookie UDFA quarterback. |

Jacksonville Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten ran 16 times for 104 yards and a touchdown and also caught 2 passes for 55 yards and a touchdown on 2 targets in Sunday's 42-7 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He was projected for 15.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 28.9.
| Footballguys view: Tuten had a long touchdown run that included a broken tackle and he also scored a receiving touchdown for the second straight game. He is trending toward being a fantasy RB1 in the second half of the season playing for a Jaguars team that is routinely blowing out the kind of poor opponents their second half schedule is littered with. |
Bhayshul Tuten player page
Jacksonville Jaguars RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. ran 6 times for 41 yards and a touchdown and also caught 1 pass for 17 yards on 1 target in Sunday's 42-7 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He was projected for 5.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 12.3.
| Footballguys view: Rodriguez is only going to have fantasy value if Bhayshul Tuten goes down, but with this running game starting to click coming out of the team's bye, he's one of the top backup running backs to carry as a lottery ticket on your bench. He shouldn't be on the waiver wire after this week -- even if you are in a league with only five bench spots. |

Jacksonville Jaguars WR Parker Washington ran 1 time for 10 yards and also caught 1 pass for 16 yards on 2 targets in Sunday's 42-7 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He was projected for 13.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 3.1.
| Footballguys view: Washington was a fantasy bust because the Colts couldn't put up a fight in this game. With UDFA rookie Joe Fagnano poised to start on Thursday against the Jaguars after both Lamar Jackson (thumb) and Tyler Huntley (turf toe) left the game with injuries that will sideline them for multiple weeks, Washington will be a boom/bust WR3/Flex in another game that could get out of hand by halftime. Thursday's game is in Baltimore, but it's worth pointing out that Jacksonville has now blown out the Browns, Patriots, and Colts in three of their four home games. Of the games left on the schedule, only the Bears, Steelers, and rival Texans look like teams that are sure to give the Jaguars a strong fight that will give us a chance at a ceiling game for Washington. At least the other game against the Colts is in Week 18, which is meaningless for fantasy. |

Jaguars WR Jakobi Meyers, listed as questionable with hamstring and ankle injuries, is good to go for Sunday's game against the Colts. Meyers missed Friday's practice but said he "felt okay."

The Jaguars have been fending off trade interest in WR Brian Thomas Jr. for over a year. The former first-round pick's recent benching and ongoing struggles have ramped up belief within the league that Jacksonville will move him by the trade deadline.
| Footballguys view: Earlier this week, Jaguars HC Liam Coen said Thomas Jr. is "gonna be able to help us make plays this week." That's a great notion, but Thomas has been held without a catch over the last two contests. In fact, Thomas has not caught a pass since Week 4 against the Bengals (two catches, 17 yards, one touchdown). He's not a fantasy factor in his current, almost non-existent, role. A change of scenery is likely best for Thomas. We'll see if the Jaguars move on before the trade deadline. |

Jaguars WR Jakobi Meyers (hamstring/ankle) did not practice on Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 8 game against the Colts. Meyers told the Florida Times-Union's Demetrius Harvey after practice that he "felt okay." He was limited on Wednesday and Thursday with only a hamstring issue before the ankle was added on Friday. Rain and a wet field are in the forecast for Sunday.

Jaguars TE Brenton Strange (eye) was listed without a game status on Friday's final injury report, meaning he is expected to be available for Sunday's game against the Colts.
| Footballguys view: Strange practiced fully all week and can be started as a TE1 this week against the Colts. |
Brenton Strange player page
Jaguars WR Jakobi Meyers (hamstring/ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts. Meyers did not practice on Friday but told the beat writer in the locker room on Friday that he felt okay. He was limited at Wednesday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Meyers is a tough veteran, no stranger to playing through injuries. He was limited Wednesday and Thursday and didn't practice Friday, but you can't really apply typical trends to Meyers' outlook. If he tells the media he feels okay, he'll probably play. Sunday inactives publish at 11:30 a.m. ET. Check back in before kickoff to see if Meyers is active. If so, he's a viable WR3. If not, expect rookie Josh Cameron to see some extra snaps. |

Jaguars WR Travis Hunter's breakout offensive game against the Texans won't necessarily mean a dramatic and steady increase in his offensive snaps, offensive coordinator Grant Udinski said on Thursday. "That's something that will probably vary week-to-week," Udinski said, adding, "Some weeks, it might be a strong feature of Travis... and then the next game it might only be two or three catches or a couple touches." Hunter played nine offensive snaps in the Week 6 loss to Houston, catching a season-high four passes for 59 yards and a touchdown, while also starting at cornerback and recording an interception. He has played 311 snaps at cornerback and 30 at wide receiver this season, and Udinski said the team will "continue to try to build his route tree."
| Footballguys view: Varying from week to week is not great for Fantasy GMs. Hunter has a ton of athleticism, so he can be seen as a 'what the heck' flex on a weekly basis. |

The reporter believes the Jaguars are "more open than ever to listening to trade offers" for WR Brian Thomas Jr. ahead of the trade deadline. He added that Thomas' trade value is "complicated," a topic he discussed with Daniel Popper in an early trade-deadline preview.
| Footballguys view: The deadline is Nov. 10, and Thomas should have a few suitors if the Jaguars have him on the trade block. A change of scenery could be best for a receiver who hasn't caught a pass since Week 4. |

Jaguars WR/CB Travis Hunter's snaps will not change dramatically after his best two-way game, head coach Liam Coen said on Monday. "Just keep chomping away at it," Coen said. "We're not going to over-rotate to a good game. There are a lot of games left in the season."
| Footballguys view: Hunter caught four passes for 59 yards and a touchdown and intercepted Texans QB C.J. Stroud in the end zone in the Week 6 loss to Houston, and Coen added that "last week you saw his impact and effect on games where he is playing more." It's going to take some time for fantasy investors to get a feel for how consistent Hunter's offensive opportunities might be. But with Brian Thomas Jr. struggling (and possibly being a trade candidate), proactively adding Hunter on a speculative basis makes sense. |

"Multiple league execs believe Jacksonville will seriously consider trading Brian Thomas Jr. at the deadline now that his role has decreased," ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported on Saturday. Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. was benched for the entire second half of last Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Texans after playing 15 first-half snaps without a catch on two targets, and he has nine catches for 105 yards and one touchdown through six games. Fowler identified the Chiefs and Steelers as teams looking for receiving help, though neither has been reported to have made an offer for Thomas. General manager James Gladstone said in March that Thomas was a big part of the team's future.

Jaguars head coach Liam Coen addressed WR Brian Thomas Jr. not playing in the second half of Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Texans in London, saying, "Guys have to make plays."
| Footballguys view: CB/WR Travis Hunter had his most productive offensive day of the season, and his expanded role at wide receiver came at the expense of Thomas, who struggled, dropping two passes -- including one that would have given the Jaguars a chance to attempt a long field goal at the end of the first half. Thomas, who had an issue with drops last year, is currently WR91 overall with an average of 4.2 fantasy points per game. |

Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. played zero snaps in the second half of Sunday's game against the Texans after playing 15 snaps in the first half, according to ESPN Research. No reason for his absence after halftime was given.
| Footballguys view: Trade talks should heat up during the Jaguars' bye. They won't get what the Cardinals got for Marvin Harrison Jr. (Houston's second-round pick and a seventh-for-sixth swap), but teams that could have used Harrison but didn't want to pay that price -- perhaps the Colts or Chiefs -- might be interested in acquiring Thomas. |

Jacksonville Jaguars WR Travis Hunter caught 4 passes for 59 yards and a touchdown on 4 targets in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Houston Texans. He was projected for 0.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 13.9.
| Footballguys view: Hunter also had an end zone interception in the fourth quarter with the Texans up three. This was the kind of performance the Jaguars dreamed of when they moved up to the No. 2 pick to take Hunter last year. He might be inconsistent in non-IDP leagues, but now we can see what he is capable of with limited offensive snaps. He's worth carrying through the bye in redraft leagues if bench size allows. Congrats if you have him in IDP leagues where his stats count on both sides of the ball, especially if you can play him as a defensive back. |

Jacksonville Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten ran 12 times for 39 yards and also caught 4 passes for 48 yards and two touchdowns on 4 targets in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Houston Texans. He was projected for 13.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 22.7.
| Footballguys view: Tuten had a touchdown run nullified by a holding penalty and ended up scoring on the drive anyway via a reception. Chris Rodriguez Jr. actually ran the ball more effectively than Tuten, but Tuten's prowess as a receiver made him a strong RB1 play anyway. Consider Tuten a high-ceiling RB2 heading into his bye. |
Bhayshul Tuten player page
Jacksonville Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence completed 24 of 41 passes for 306 yards with 4 touchdowns and 1 interception in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Houston Texans. He was projected for 17.8 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 28.3.
| Footballguys view: Lawrence's interception came on third-and-goal during a first-half drive, or he could have had an even bigger day. Lawrence has posted big numbers in each of the last two games against defenses that were highly regarded coming into the season. His early-season numbers were dampened by the Jaguars putting the pass offense in mothballs in the third quarter of two blowout wins. Now we are seeing Lawrence's true weekly ceiling in competitive games. The Texans pass defense isn't what we thought it would be, but the Jaguars pass offense is also better than we thought it would be, and we were optimistic about them. Travis Hunter caught his first touchdown of the season to make Lawrence's arsenal of weapons even deeper heading into the Jaguars' bye. |

Jaguars RB Ameer Abdullah (concussion) returned to Sunday's game against the Texans after being injured in the first quarter.
| Footballguys view: Abdullah was hit hard by the Texans' Wade Woodaz on a kickoff return and sent flying to the ground. Abdullah was slow to get up and left under his own power, but was taken to the sideline tent, and the team announced that he was being evaluated for a concussion. The team later announced he was cleared to return, and he played offense in the second quarter. |

Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. "appears procurable to the rest of the NFL" as WR Parker Washington ascends in the Jacksonville offense. The Jaguars "have been firm in their stance" on Thomas, though it is an open question whether that changes over the next few weeks ahead of the trade deadline.
| Footballguys view: It will be difficult for the Jaguars to get a second-round pick for Thomas, which was the main compensation for Marvin Harrison Jr. when the Texans traded for him from the Cardinals. Thomas could be a target for teams that were interested in Harrison but didn't want to pay the high price, including the Chiefs and Colts. Sixth-round rookie Josh Cameron would move into a larger - maybe even fantasy relevant - role if Thomas were to be dealt. |

Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten's touch count has risen in three straight weeks, and his two highest route shares have come in the last two games. RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. had just three touches in Sunday's win over the Eagles and is averaging six touches per game. Tuten has two touchdowns this season, and penalties wiped out two others in Week 4.
| Footballguys view: Tuten is a dynamic player, and the Jaguars offense is looking to get more big plays. If this role continues at the current pace, Tuten is an RB2/flex option for Fantasy GMs in PPR formats. |

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. |
Parker Washington player page
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. |
