Jaguars | LeQuint Allen expected to avoid IR Fri Aug 28, 05:27 PM
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. |

Free-agent WR Zay Jones (Cardinals) met with the Jacksonville Jaguars Monday, July 27.
| Footballguys view: As Profootballtalk.com noted, Jones played in 27 regular-season and playoff games for the team over the 2022 and 2023 seasons. He had 116 catches for 1,144 yards and seven touchdowns in the regular season and 13 catches for 157 yards and a touchdown in two postseason outings. Jones spent the last two seasons with the Cardinals and caught 20 passes for 267 yards. Brian Thomas, Jakobi Meyers, Travis Hunter, and Parker Washington head up the receiving corps in Jacksonville. |

Link to storyJacksonville Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten is expected to have 'a big year' from his head coach Liam Coen.
| Footballguys view: Tuten steps into the lead role for the Jaguars with Travis Etienne gone. He's got a ton of speed and can eat up yards in a hurry. Tuten should win the starting job, but Chris Rodriguez will split time with him. We like Tuten as an RB3 with upside for Fantasy GMs. He has a current ADP around the turn near the end of the sixth round of standard formats. |

Jacksonville Jaguars WR/CB Travis Hunter said he added muscle during the offseason but would not specify how much bigger he is entering training camp.
| Footballguys view: Pictures from the Jaguars' media circulated yesterday showing Hunter looking noticeably larger than last year, and many social media accounts were quick to point out the difference. Hunter, who many knocked for his slight frame coming into the league, confirmed what our eyes showed us. After a season-ending LCL injury, bulking up could help his long-term durability. Just as it was last offseason, the conversation around Hunter is focused on his projected role, where fantasy managers aren't sure how much he'll play on offense. He's falling deep into drafts, going off the board as the WR62. He might be frustrating in managed leagues, but his play-making ability and big-play upside make him a tantalizing late pick in best ball drafts. |

Jacksonville Jaguars WR/CB Travis Hunter (knee) will be a 'full go' for training camp, according to Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network.
| Footballguys view: Hunter was limited through OTAs while returning from last year's torn LCL, so this is great news. The big question for fantasy managers has been regarding his deployment on both sides of the ball. NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe stated yesterday that he expects Hunter to be a full-time defensive player, and the Jaguars' offseason moves signal as much. Hunter has contingent upside as a late-round target in fantasy drafts, and we'll hope for more information on his role throughout training camp. |

Jacksonville Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. was the 'most impressive offensive player' during spring activities, according to Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: The arrow is pointing way up for Thomas, and all reports indicate his offseason is going great. In fact, some of the best news we've seen reported is that Thomas and QB Trevor Lawrence have worked on their chemistry. Thomas had a down season in 2025, but he could be in for a big year as the team enters year 2 of the Liam Coen era (and offense). He's a WR3 with upside to easily work his way into WR2 territory. |

Jacksonville Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence had the best spring of his career, according to head coach Liam Coen. 'He's got such a grasp for it that you're hopeful that it allows him to just go be him and go be the best version of himself as we saw so much towards the back half of the last year and taking growth from that,' Coen said.
| Footballguys view: Lawrence really hit his stride last year in the second half of the season. He and Coen seem to be a great combination, and we expect the Jaguars to only get more dangerous on offense this season. That makes Lawrence a QB1, likely to finish in the top-10 at the position. However, there's a chance he could finish in the top-5 or even as the no.1 quarterback in fantasy football. |

The Jaguars and standout TE Brenton Strange have agreed to terms on a three-year extension worth up to $48 million, with $25 million guaranteed, his agents told NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
| Footballguys view: In a speculative piece published by ESPN.com earlier today, Jaguars beat writer Michael DiRocco suggested the team wouldn't rush this deal. Turns out the Jaguars were a little more eager than we realized -- and with good reason. The offense was noticeably better with Strange on the field. The Penn State product, who is being drafted as TE20, caught 46 passes for 540 yards and three TDs in 12 games last season, becoming a key part of Trevor Lawrence and Jacksonville's offensive scheme. |

Jacksonville Jaguars TE Brenton Strange has had preliminary contract extension talks with the Jaguars this offseason, but the team does not appear to be in a rush to make a deal, according to ESPN.com's Michael DiRocco.
| Footballguys view: The Jaguars have been willing to negotiate and close deals during the season, so not having a deal in place before or during training camp is not a bad sign. As DiRocco noted, it's clear how much Strange means to the Jaguars' success: They were 11-1 and averaged 30.1 points per game when he played; they were 2-3 and averaged 22.6 points in the five games he missed last season because of a hip injury. Strange is currently being drafted as TE20. That leaves a lot of room for upside if you're waiting to draft your second TE. |

Jacksonville Jaguars WR Jakobi Meyers could be falling back in the pecking order behind WRs Brian Thomas Jr. and Parker Washington. ESPN insider Cameron Wolfe believes Thomas and Washington will be the leading receivers for the team.
| Footballguys view: Last season, Meyers jumped into the spotlight after the Jaguars acquired him in a trade with Las Vegas. The veteran quickly established himself as Trevor Lawrence's go-to target. In addition to catching 42 passes for 483 yards and three touchdowns for Jacksonville, Bleacher Report notes he also returned a 95.2 passer rating when targeted, which is impressive for a player joining a new system midseason. One reason for that? As GM James Gladstone said, Meyers' "superpower is not dropping the football." While his upside is capped by Brian Thomas Jr. and Parker Washington, Meyers' WR42 ADP is reasonable. |

Jacksonville Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. will be used a lot on vertical routes down the field, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: As SI.com suggested, Thomas was not at his best as a deep threat a year ago, which led the Jaguars to make adjustments to their passing game for much of the season. But we saw what his vertical ability can do for the offense in 2024. If Thomas can be as effective this year as he was during his rookie season, the Jaguars' passing game could be even more potent and explosive than it was last year when Trevor Lawrence was an MVP candidate. With all the positive buzz coming from OTAs, Thomas' ADP is rising; he's currently WR33. |

Jacksonville Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. and Trevor Lawrence have 'taken a huge step' in building their rapport this offseason, according to John Oehser of the team's website.
| Footballguys view: After recording nearly 1,300 yards and finishing the season as fantasy's WR2 in 2024 as a rookie, Thomas Jr. totaled only 707 yards this past season. This included dealing with dropped passes and catching just 49 percent of the passes thrown his way. So one of the points of emphasis this offseason has been Thomas Jr. and Lawrence continuing to build their chemistry within Liam Coen's offense. While it's still early, the reporting from OTAs and minicamp has been positive. That's good news because Thomas Jr. is the first Jaguar WR off the board as WR33. |
