Jacksonville Jaguars

Trevor Lawrence→ his ranking

Lawrence's 2022 season suggested a higher ceiling down the road. He totaled 4,404 combined yards, 30 touchdowns, and just eight interceptions, finishing 7th in fantasy scoring (354.05 points). He topped 300 yards six times and showed big-play ability with standout performances in Weeks 14 (386/4) and 15 (339/4). His main knock was his 7.0 yards per attempt, and defenses kept him in check often; he threw one or fewer touchdown passes in 11 of 19 games, including the playoffs.

2023 was a grind. Lawrence battled through a left knee injury, added an ankle issue in December, missed Week 17 with a concussion, and ultimately ended the year with an AC joint injury. Despite the wear, his numbers were relatively stable (4,355 combined yards and 25 touchdowns) in one fewer game. But the efficiency and explosiveness weren't there. He topped 300 yards just twice, had two or fewer scores in 13 games, and half his starts fell below 20.00 fantasy points. He still finished 12th at quarterback (323.70 points), though it felt like a quiet, underwhelming season given his ceiling.

2024 started poorly and ended worse. Through the first nine weeks, Lawrence threw for under 200 yards in five games and never threw for three touchdowns in a single contest. His rushing contribution (26 carries, 119 yards, and 3 TDs) was modest. In Week 9, a left AC joint injury sidelined him for two games, and after returning, a concussion ended his day again. Jacksonville eventually shut him down for the season, with Lawrence undergoing surgery to repair his shoulder, closing the book on his most injury-plagued year yet.

Over his first 10 games in a new offense, Lawrence battled a low completion rate (59.8%) while gaining only 6.4 yards per pass attempt, leading to him gaining 233 combined yards and 1.6 touchdowns per game (19.98 FPPG). His best fantasy value came in Week 5 (30.45).

The Jags’ offense jelled over their final eight matchups (including the postseason), highlighted by a stellar run by Jacksonville’s starting quarterback. Lawrence scored over 21.50 fantasy points in each game, while delivering at least three touchdowns in five contests. His best value came in Week 15 (381 combined yards and five scores) and Week 16 (299 combined yards with four touchdowns).

He averaged 29.04 fantasy points per game over this span in four-point passing touchdown formats, lifting Lawrence to fourth in quarterback scoring (393.25 fantasy points) and scoring 25 combined touchdowns (a career-high 38 TDs for the year).

In the National Fantasy Football Championship in mid-May, Lawrence ranks ninth in quarterback. The Jaguars are four deep at wide receiver, with two viable options at the tight end position. His floor is helped by his value in the run game (82/359/9). His completion rate (60.0%) has been an area of weakness in back-to-back years. Lawrence is trending toward 4,500 combined yards, with some pullback expected in touchdowns, while just reaching the prime of his career.

Bhayshul Tuten→ his ranking

Tuten began his college career at North Carolina A&T, where he needed a year to find his running back rhythm. After a quiet freshman season (37 carries, 215 yards, 3 TDs, and 10 catches for 230 yards), he broke out in 2022 with 1,705 combined yards, 17 touchdowns, and 31 receptions on 239 touches, averaging 6.6 yards per carry and 11.0 per catch.

He transferred to Virginia Tech and immediately became the Hokies' featured back. In 2023, Tuten leaned more on him in the passing game (27 catches, 239 yards, and 2 TDs) while rushing for 863 yards and 10 scores on 173 carries. His final college season showed more explosiveness (183 carries, 1,159 yards, and 15 rushing touchdowns at 6.3 yards per carry). His receiving numbers dipped (23 catches, 81 yards, and 2 TDs), but his impact as a runner was undeniable.

At the 2025 NFL Combine, Tuten ran a 4.32 forty, confirming what the tape already showed. He's a between-the-tackles runner who doesn't shy away from contact, with the lateral quickness to find and squeeze through tight creases before they close. Once in open space, he shifts into another gear and pulls away from defenders in a hurry. The one concern is his tendency to lower his head and shoulder into contact to finish runs, effective for extra yards, but a habit that raises some flags around ball security and long-term durability.

Tuten's size (5'9" and 205 lbs.) doesn't hold him back as a pass protector; he holds his own against bigger defenders. The areas that need work are his decision-making in tight spaces and his pass-catching fundamentals, both of which will need to be developed before he's a true three-down back at the NFL level.

In his rookie season, Tuten failed to develop into a trusted RB3 fantasy option. He gained only 386 combined yards with seven touchdowns and 10 catches on 93 touches. His only playable fantasy value came in two games (74 combined yards with a touchdown and two catches ~ 15/74/1). Tuten missed two games late in the year that required surgery.

In the early draft season in the high-stakes market, Tuten projects as a borderline RB2/RB3 with an ADP of 64. To reach this threshold in fantasy points, he needs to average close to 10.00 fantasy points per game in PPR formats, requiring about 1,000 combined yards with seven touchdowns and 20 catches. His explosiveness gives him a chance, but a three-back rotation in Jacksonville could be an issue.

Chris Rodriguez→ his ranking

Rodriguez spent five seasons at Kentucky, totaling 3,759 combined yards, 33 touchdowns, and 20 receptions. His best college season came in 2021, when he rushed for 1,378 yards and 10 touchdowns on 225 carries while adding 13 catches for 61 yards and three scores. A suspension stemming from an off-field incident cost him four starts in 2022, disrupting what had been an upward trajectory.

In 2023, Rodriguez was productive when available (175 carries, 904 yards, and six touchdowns over eight games), but he was rarely used as a receiver (5 catches for 41 yards). His two standout performances showed his ceiling: 31 carries for 197 yards and two TDs, and 18 carries for 162 yards and two TDs.

After two quiet seasons with the Commanders (86/420/4 with three catches for 24 yards), Washington increased Rodriguez’s role in 2025 despite him sitting out four games (two for coaching decisions). During the year, he battled minor calf, shoulder, and groin issues while missing a game with an illness.

Over his final seven games, covering nine weeks, Rodriguez scored in five matchups while delivering double-digit fantasy points in four contests (12.50, 10.10, 13.90, and 15.30). The Commanders only threw to him four times (3/30) all year. He had over 12 touches in three contests (16, 16, and 17). Washington had him on the field for over 50% of their snaps only once (52%).

Update 6/10/2026: In early June, Rodriguez underwent minor surgery on his left foot. Jacksonville expects him to be ready for training camp.

LeQuint Allen→ his ranking

In his sophomore season at Syracuse, Allen emerged as a three-down back, leading to 1,274 combined yards with 10 touchdowns and 38 catches on 283 touches. On the downside, he gained only 4.3 yards per rush and 5.5 yards per carry. Despite the appearance of below average running back, his output pushed even higher in 2024 (228/1,021/16 – 4.5 yards per carry with 64 catches for 521 yards and four touchdowns). Allen upped his yards per catch (8.1).

He came to the NFL with a high floor in pass protection. Allen runs with patience and rhythm on his rushes and route-running. His pass-catching value has multiple pluses, suggesting a natural advantage over Bhayshul Tuten on passing downs. He lacks explosiveness at the second level of a defense, while needing to up his power to win in tight quarters on inside runs.

In his first year with the Jaguars, Allen gained 148 combined yards with no touchdowns and 10 catches on 33 touches.

Brian Thomas→ his ranking

Thomas spent two quiet seasons at LSU (28 catches, 359 yards, and two TDs; then 31 catches, 361 yards, and 5 TDs) before breaking out in 2023 when given a larger role. He made the most of it (68 receptions for 1,177 yards and 17 touchdowns), averaging a gaudy 17.3 yards per catch. He topped 100 yards in six of his 13 starts, with performances like 7/142/1, 8/124/3, and 6/150/2 showing off his big-play ability. The comp that comes to mind is somewhere between Mike Williams and Randy Moss.

His rookie season in Jacksonville was a tale of two halves. Over his first 11 games, targets were inconsistent (five or fewer in five of those starts), but he still flashed in two games (5/122/1 and 5/87/1). He averaged 12.98 fantasy points per game over that stretch, putting him in mid-tier WR2 territory in PPR formats.

Then the Jaguars featured him in their passing game. Jacksonville gave Thomas double-digit targets in each of his final six games, and he delivered a high floor every week (4/87/1, 10/105/2, 9/132/1, and 7/109/1), averaging 22.98 FPPG over that closing run. He finished the season with 87 catches on 133 targets for 1,282 yards and 10 touchdowns, good for fourth in PPR wide receiver scoring (284.00 points).

Thomas battled injuries all season, starting with a wrist injury in mid-September, followed by shoulder and ankle issues (three missed games). His catch rate (52.7%) was much weaker than in 2024 (65.4%), while posting a higher value of 14.7 yards per catch (14.7). Thomas was only an edge in Week 6 (8/90/1), with one other playable outcome (4/66/1).

As bad as he was in 2025, Thomas finished 42nd in PPR fantasy points (138.80), with three games with no stats. I expect him to gain value in drafts as the summer moves on. I see a WR2 profile (70/1,000/7), with explosive potential in multiple games, even with more competition for targets.

Jakobi Meyers→ his ranking

Meyers' 2022 season was interrupted by a concussion and shoulder injury that cost him three games. He came out of the gate with strong three WR1 performances in his first six starts (9/95, 7/111/1, 9/60/1), before hitting a cold stretch with five uninspiring outings over the next seven weeks. He closed the year on a positive note, finding the end zone in each of his final three games (6/83/1, 6/49/1, and 3/32/1).

In 2023, Meyers reached double-digit touchdowns (10) for the first time, an elite-level output for any receiver. His receiving yards stayed remarkably consistent over three years (866, 804, and 807), and he averaged 4.7 catches per game from 2021 to 2023. He never topped 85 yards in a single game, eclipsing 20.00 fantasy points just three times in PPR formats (9/81/2, 7/75/1, and 6/81/1). Las Vegas gave him double-digit targets in four of his first seven games, then went cold on him in seven others. A concussion in Week 2 pushed him to the sidelines.

Meyers set new career highs in catches (87), receiving yards (1,027), and targets (129) while missing two games. The Raiders leaned on him heavily down the stretch, giving him nine or more targets in 10 of his final 13 starts. He posted a 17.00-point fantasy floor in six of those matchups, with highlight lines of 10/121, 9/123/1, and 8/105. Meyers finished 19th in PPR wide receiver scoring with 218.00 points.

Unfortunately, Meyers lost his fantasy momentum over his seven games with the Raiders (33/352/0 on 49 targets), crushing fantasy teams. A midseason trade to the Jaguars revived their passing attack, and his success on the field (42/496/3). His best value came from Week 12 to Week 14 (4/50/1, 6/90/1, and 4/39/1).

Travis Hunter→ his ranking

Hunter's college career was unlike anything the sport has seen in decades. He began at Jackson State under Deion Sanders, playing both ways from the start with modest receiver numbers (18/188/4) alongside legitimate defensive contributions (15 tackles, 2 interceptions, a fumble recovery, and a touchdown). When Sanders moved to Colorado, Hunter followed, and his production on both sides grew. He hauled in 57 catches for 721 yards and 5 touchdowns as a receiver while adding 22 tackles and 3 interceptions on defense, all while missing three games with a liver injury.

His Heisman campaign in 2024 was the culmination of everything he'd built. Hunter caught 96 passes for 1,263 yards and 16 touchdowns while finishing with 25 tackles, 4 interceptions, and 11 pass deflections in 13 games. He opened the season with five straight standout performances (7/132/3, 10/110, 13/100/2, 7/130, and 9/89/1), hit a brief lull against Kansas City State and Arizona (3/26 and 2/17), then caught fire again with a 9/153/2 showing before closing his Heisman run over the final three weeks (8/125/2, 10/116/2, 4/106/1).

As a prospect, Hunter's instincts, vision, and quickness set him apart — he finds the football naturally and wins in tight spaces at a high rate. His feel for spacing and timing is exceptional, suggesting a high-volume receiving career at the next level, with Antonio Brown coming to mind as a ceiling comp. His areas to watch are his release against physical press corners at the line and his run-blocking, which will be tested if Jacksonville asks him to contribute there. His route running still has room to grow, though his natural athleticism has masked any rawness against college competition.

How his defensive role translates to the NFL remains an open question, but his highest value is likely as a passing-down weapon on both sides of the ball, a matchup problem that defenses aren't built to handle.

In his first year in the NFL, Hunter failed to produce winning stats for his fantasy price point. He caught 20 of his 31 targets for 197 yards and no touchdowns over his first six matchups while gaining only 9.8 yards per catch. A London game led to a future tease performance (8/101/1 on 14 targets), but a torn LCL in his right knee ended his year.

Parker Washington→ his ranking

Washington is a competitor — tough, reliable, and always in the right spot. What he lacks is the quickness and straight-line speed to consistently beat man coverage, which puts a ceiling on his upside. His wins will come from contested catches and precise route running rather than from creating separation.

Over three college seasons, Washington caught 146 of 219 targets for 1,920 yards and 12 touchdowns, with his best year coming in 2021 (64 catches, 820 yards, and 4 TDs in 13 games). As a rookie, he saw limited action until the final eight games of the season, finishing with 16 catches for 132 yards and 2 touchdowns on 21 targets, with brief flashes along the way (6/61/1 and 2/27/1).

Injuries to Christian Kirk and Gabe Davis pushed Washington into a WR2 role in 2024, and Jacksonville rewarded him with a 56.5% snap share. He finished with 32 catches for 390 yards and 3 touchdowns on 51 targets, but the bulk of his production came over the final six games (22 catches for 272 yards and 3 scores on 33 targets), headlined by a breakout Week 13 (6/103/1). Washington was a serviceable option when the opportunity was there, but his role remains dependent on the health of those ahead of him.

Over the first 13 games across 14 matchups, Washington had 39 catches for 500 yards and three touchdowns on 67 targets. He scored more than 10.00 points in four matchups (5/76, 8/90, 3/33/1, and 5/71/1). The Jaguars gave him a workhorse opportunity over their final four games (6/146/1, 8/115, 5/87/1, and 7/107/1), highlighted by WR1 snaps over this span (86%, 94%, 79%, and 96%).

I’ll put him closer to a dead heat with Jakobi Meyers, whom Jacksonville signed for three years for $60 million in January. Washington could be a possible tease player or an excellent value.

Brenton Strange→ his ranking

Strange entered the NFL as a blocking-first tight end with quiet upside as a receiver. His pass-catching resume was limited coming out of college, but the tools were there: enough speed and route-running ability to threaten defenses down the seam and over the top, while his blocking gives him a clear path to the field on early downs.

Over his final three seasons at Penn State, Strange caught 69 passes for 761 yards and 10 touchdowns across 31 games. His rookie year in the NFL was a quiet introduction (5 catches for 35 yards and a touchdown on 9 targets).

His second season offered a glimpse of future upside. With Evan Engram sidelined in 2024, Strange topped 10.00 fantasy points four times (4/24/1, 5/59, 11/73, and 4/60), showing he can be a productive option when given the opportunity. The catch is that Jacksonville kept him on a short leash (four targets or fewer in 13 of his games), making consistency hard to come by.

With the lead tight end role in hand for Strange in 2025, he brought a TE2 fantasy profile into the season. Jacksonville gave him 23 targets over their first four games, leading to 19 catches for 182 yards and no scores. His season was derailed in Week 5 after one catch for 22 yards due to a hip injury, costing him five starts.

Down the stretch over eight matchups (including the postseason), Strange scored double-digit fantasy points in four games (5/93, 3/45/1, 5/39/1, and 6/52/1) while averaging 5.1 targets per game.

The Jaguars have depth and talent at the wide receiver position, which will lead to Strange being overlooked at times by defenses. At the same time, his overall opportunity should step back slightly due to some quiet weeks. I view him as serviceable based on his price point, while lacking explosiveness due to a low ceiling in touchdowns. I’ll set his bar at 60/650/4 until I take a deep dive into his projections.

Nate Boerkircher

Boerkircher's college receiving numbers won't turn heads (19 catches for 219 yards and a touchdown) across four seasons at Nebraska, followed by 19 catches for 198 yards and three scores in 13 games with the Aggies. But his value isn't built on production. He's a physical, aggressive blocker who brings effort and nastiness at the point of attack, which will earn him snaps at the next level regardless of his target share.

His passing game role will be limited. Don't expect him to be a featured option in the passing game, but Boerkircher won't waste his opportunities when called upon, and he's capable of winning against single coverage. His quick release off the line helps him hold his own as a run blocker, keeping him relevant on early downs. At 6'5" and 245 pounds, there's still room to add bulk and strength, which could make him an even more impactful presence in the running game as he develops.

Cam Little

Jacksonville addressed its kicker need in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, selecting Little out of Arkansas, where he was automatic on extra points (129-for-129) and reliable on field goals (53-of-64, with a long of 56 yards and a 64% success rate from 50-plus).

His rookie season backed up the billing. Little converted 27 of 29 field goal attempts (93.1%), went 5-for-6 from 50 yards and beyond, and was perfect on all 27 extra point tries, a strong debut by any measure.

Last season, a 70-yard make in the preseason had fantasy managers dreaming of a Brandon Aubrey-type breakout, and Little didn't disappoint. He hit 30 of 34 field goals (88.2%), converted 50 of 51 extra points, and went a blistering 8-for-10 from 50-plus yards. He finished fifth in kicker fantasy scoring (177.20 points), with 10 games eclipsing 10.00 fantasy points, including six consecutive to close out the year.
