Jaguars | No clear No. 1 back for Jaguars Wed May 27, 02:27 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars RBs Bhayshul Tuten, Chris Rodriguez Jr. and LeQuint Allen are expected to receive playing time this upcoming season, but head coach Liam Coen said the team does not have a No. 1 running back at this point and there will be a competition during training camp for playing time.
| Footballguys view: Tuten was being drafted in the fifth round as RB23 immediately after the NFL Draft. He's RB25 now. Rodriguez is RB45, available in Round 11. For fantasy investors, that's the entire problem in three sentences. The fifth-round price assumes Tuten gets the lion's share -- the carries, the goal-line work, the passing-down snaps -- of the workload. We're not there yet. We'll be following up on this situation often in the coming weeks, so stay tuned. |
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Parker Washington could be in line for a contract extension similar to what Green Bay Packers WR Jayden Reed received and what Seattle Seahawks WR Rashid Shaheed received in free agency, in the opinion of Sports Illustrated's John Shipley on Tuesday, May 26.
| Footballguys view: After flashes during his first two seasons, in which his second year saw his production take a solid step forward, Washington took his game to another level in 2025. After an injury to Travis Hunter ahead of Week 9 led the Jaguars to elevate Washington's role, he became arguably the Jaguars' most productive receiver. Washington set career-highs and led the team with 58 receptions for 847 yards and five touchdowns last season. Extension or not, Washington is currently being drafted as WR39, after teammate Brian Thomas, Jr. (WR36). |

Jacksonville Jaguars second-round draft choice TE Nate Boerkircher signed a four-year contract with the Jaguars Wednesday, May 20. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Boerkircher is a traditional "Y" tight end. He's mainly a blocker, and he can be a devastating blocker for the Jaguars. Fantasy GMs aren't getting points for blocks, so the rookie may not have much value in our game - even in dynasty formats. Brenton Strange is the team's move tight end and best receiving weapon at the position. |
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Alex Bullock was placed on the Reserve/Retired list Monday, May 18.
Link to storyJacksonville Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence is '100 percent' in the conservation of elite quarterbacks in the NFL, according to teammate DL Arik Armstead. 'The steps that he's taken this year to improve. A big area for me and what solidified it for me was that Denver game on the road,' Armstead said. 'Denver coming in, an elite defense, one of the best defenses in the leagues, pass rush, blitzes, playmakers all over the field. They were sending pressure at him, they were throwing zero looks, they were rushing with four with some great guys.'
| Footballguys view: It's a fair assessment. After all, Lawrence played the best football of his five-year NFL career over the second half of last season. The Jaguars won eight consecutive games (and averaged an NFL-best 33.6 points per game over that span) to close out the regular season. Lawrence scored 24 total touchdowns, 19 of them through the air, with just five interceptions during that stretch. He finished the season as QB4 with 342.2 fantasy points, but was QB1 from Weeks 10 through 17. Lawrence is currently being drafted as QB10. |

Jacksonville Jaguars WR/CB Travis Hunter's role with the team has not changed despite rumors that he would have a greater role on the defensive side of the ball in 2026, according to head coach Liam Coen.
| Footballguys view: Hunter is worth a late round pick to see if he gets enough involvement and makes enough plays to be relevant in fantasy leagues despite being a two-way player. He also makes Trevor Lawrence an even more attractive target to be your QB1 once 6-7 quarterbacks are off of the board. |
Jacksonville Jaguars OL Jordan White was placed on the reserve/retired list on Tuesday, May 12.
Link to storyFree-agent RB Ameer Abdullah (Colts) signed an undisclosed deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars Monday, May 11. RB Ja'Quinden Jackson was waived.
| Footballguys view: Abdullah, who turns 33 in June, spent last season with the Colts, mainly playing special teams. However, he did have 60 yards rushing with one touchdown, along with 16 catches for 99 yards. He spent the previous three seasons with the Raiders, posting 311 rushing yards with two TDs plus 40 catches for 261 yards with three touchdowns in 2024. Expect far more special teams work than offensive production if he makes this roster. |

Jacksonville Jaguars third-round draft choice DT Albert Regis, third-round draft choice OG Emmanuel Pregnon, third-round draft choice S Jalen Huskey, fourth-round draft choice LB Wesley Williams, seventh-round draft choice DE Zach Durfee and seventh-round draft choice LB Parker Hughes signed four-year contracts with the Jaguars Thursday, May 7. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Link to storyJacksonville Jaguars sixth-round draft choice WR CJ Williams signed a four-year contract with the Jaguars Thursday, May 7. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Williams did snare 59 receptions in 2025, leading Stanford with 749 yards and six scores. The Jaguars certainly went deep with this late-round selection. We'll see if Jaguars GM James Gladstone found a diamond in the rough or not. Fantasy GMs in super deep dynasty leagues should monitor the rookie. |
Jacksonville Jaguars sixth-round draft choice WR Josh Cameron signed a four-year contract with the Jaguars Thursday, May 7. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Link to storyJacksonville Jaguars fifth-round draft choice TE Tanner Koziol signed a four-year contract with the Jaguars Thursday, May 7. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Koziol is huge and knows how to use his body to get the ball in contested situations. He begins his pro career likely behind both Brenton Strange and fellow rookie Nate Boerkircher. In super deep dynasty leagues (especially those with tight end premiums), we are monitoring Koziol closely. |
Jacksonville Jaguars WR/CB Travis Hunter will still see work as a wide receiver during the 2026 season but will see an increase in snaps at cornerback during the season, according to general manager James Gladstone.
| Footballguys view: Hunter is not going to exclusively play cornerback as some had previously suggested. Not only has Hunter pushed back on that, but now the Jaguars GM says the same thing. Hunter can be a playmaker on both sides of the ball, but many Fantasy GMs are nervous about his usage at wide receiver this year. His fantasy value in year two may not be what some wanted/expected, but Hunter can have a fantasy impact (perhaps in the flex range). |
Jacksonville Jaguars TE Nate Boerkircher was drafted to help the offense run the ball in heavier sets, in the opinion of John Shipley of SI.com.
| Footballguys view: Shipley went on to note the Jaguars have made their intentions clear from the jump that this pick was about getting better at 12 and 13 personnel in a year in which half of the NFL is trending in that direction. That is what Shipley believes Boerkircher is here to help the Jaguars do. Add his blocking ability to Liam Coen's ability to scheme tight ends open in the passing game, and Shipley thinks it is fair to expect the Jaguars' offense to improve in this area. |
Virginia RB J'Mari Taylor, Montana State WR Michael Wortham, South Dakota State WR Alex Bullock and Troy TE Ethan Conner signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars as undrafted free agents Saturday, April 25.
| Footballguys view: Taylor is a hard-nosed back that most expected to get drafted in what ended up being one of the worst running back classes (in terms of draft capital) in the history of the draft. He is a short but thickly built back with good feet and eyes for the zone running game and potential as a passing down back. He's a name worth remembering given the uncertain future of the Jaguars backfield. |
