Laviska Shenault Jr. Doesn't Break Out In Week 3

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. was a popular pick to have a breakout game against the Dolphins in Week 3, but it didn't happen, as he finished with just 33 receiving yards. Shenault did record five receptions, but with his usage mainly coming in the short-yardage passing, Shenault didn't have the chance […]

Chris Thompson Catches Five Passes On Thursday

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Chris Thompson continued to see his role expand on Thursday night, catching five passes for 35 yards and adding three rushing yards on two carries. Thompson isn't the same receiving threat that he was in Washington, but he's becoming a larger part of things for the Jaguars. That doesn't mean you […]

Chris Conley Has Rough Week 3

With Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. (back, chest) out, receiver Chris Conley was a popular pick to see an expanded role on Thursday night. And he did, as he led the team in targets with eight. The problem? Drops and some poor positioning led to Conley catching just three of those passes for 34 […]

Keelan Cole Quiet In Week 3

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Keelan Cole caught four passes for 43 yards in Thursday's loss to the Miami Dolphins. It was Cole's first game this year without a touchdown. Thursday showed us what Cole's floor this year likely looks like: a handful of catches with an average of around 10 yards per reception. You'll take […]

James Robinson Scores Both Jaguars Touchdowns

Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson was the only consistent source of production in Thursday's loss to the Miami Dolphins. The undrafted rookie ran the ball 11 times, finishing with 46 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He also led the team in receptions, catching six of them for 83 yards. Robinson might be the […]

Gardner Minshew II Struggles Against Miami

The Jacksonville Jaguars weren't supposed to be blown out by the Miami Dolphins on Thursday, but they were, as the Dolphins took the 31-13 victory. Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew II struggled all night, going 30-for-42 for 275 yards with no touchdowns while throwing an interception and narrowly avoiding throwing a second. He also added 22 […]

D.J. Chark Jr. Out For Week 3

It looked like he was trending towards being a full-go on Thursday night against the Miami Dolphins, but Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. (back, chest) has been officially ruled out. A few things change with no Chark in the lineup. First, Chris Conley likely sees a major jump in playing time, making him […]

WNBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks (9/24/20): WNBA DFS Advice for DraftKings and FanDuel

The playoffs continue to roll along in the WNBA. On Tuesday, the Aces evened their series with the Connecticut Sun, who lost Alyssa Thomas to a shoulder injury that will keep her out for at least Thursday's game. Seattle also survived a close one against the Lynx, winning 88-86 on a buzzer-beater from Alysha Clark. […]

Tyler Eifert A Risky Week 3 Play

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Tyler Eifert caught three passes for 36 yards and a touchdown in Week 2 against the Titans, showing why the Jaguars brought in the oft-injured tight end this offseason. But Eifert is a huge risk in Week 3 against a Dolphins Defense that's struggled this year but has managed to shut […]

Laviska Shenault Jr. An Intriguing Week 3 Option

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. has seen some interesting usage patterns through two games, being used at running back at times. He had eight touches against the Titans last week, finishing with 72 total yards of offense. Shenault seems on the verge of a breakout performance and it could come on Thursday […]

Keelan Cole A Viable PPR Option In Week 3

At some point, Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Keelan Cole will have a game this season in which he doesn't score a touchdown and his final stat line will look fairly pedestrian. But with a plus matchup against the Dolphins on Thursday night, fantasy managers in full PPR leagues should be willing to take a chance […]

D.J. Chark Jr. Has Strong Upside In Week 3

2020 has been weird for Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. The ball is being spread around in Jacksonville, which has left the assumed No. 1 receiver on the team playing a smaller role than expected. But so far, the fantasy results have been fine, as he caught a touchdown in Week 1 (though […]

James Robinson A Solid Play In Week 3

Fresh off his first 100-yard game, Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson is set for another solid performance in Week 3, as the Jaguars take on the Miami Dolphins on Thursday night. Robinson's lack of passing game usage limits his overall ceiling, though he did see a larger role as a receiver in Week 2. […]

Gardner Minshew II A Strong Fantasy Option On Thursday

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew II has already thrown six touchdowns in 2020, and he should throw more of them on Thursday night against a beat-up Dolphins secondary. Minshew has been one of the biggest surprises of the young 2020 season, looking like a quality NFL starter and already threatening to take the Jags out […]

Tape Tells All: Keelan Cole's Week 2 Performance

Welcome to the second week of Tape Tells All, now with 100 percent more tape since the All-22 film is up! If you aren't familiar with this series, I take a guy who did some interesting things this past week, fire up All-22 film and a bunch of advanced stats, and then use those things […]

So Much for Regression: 2019 Breakouts Continued

Sometimes, players do things that seem unsustainable, and before the next season, the analysis community universally goes "yeah, they're regressing." But what happens when those players just... don't regress? Through two games, we're seeing some examples of players who are sustaining things we didn't think were sustainable. Let's look at some of those things.Be sure […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 3

Whew, that was a rough day of football. It seemed like we just watched an endless parade of injuries all day. It wasn't quite as rough for wide receivers as it was for other positions. But while your No. 1 waiver claim this week might not end up being a wide receiver, that doesn't mean […]

WNBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks (9/22/20): WNBA DFS Advice for DraftKings and FanDuel

So, we're still not sure if tonight's Lynx/Storm Game 1 is happening, as Sunday's game was postponed after multiple Storm players had inconclusive positive COVID tests. They've got to test negative two days in a row to be cleared to play, so we'll know more later today about whether or not it will go on. […]

Darren Fells Scores Touchdown In Week 2

Houston Texans tight end Darren Fells caught two passes for 23 yards and a touchdown in a Week 2 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. He was targeted four times. Fells is still a lethal red zone target for the Texans, but with the emergence of Jordan Akins as a viable option, Fells is likely going […]

Jordan Akins Continues To See Increased Usage

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins continues to assert himself in 2020. Against the Ravens on Sunday, Akins caught a team-high seven passes for 55 yards. While Darren Fells still appears to be the end zone target at tight end for the Texans, Akins is seeing more usage all over the field. At a shallow […]

Randall Cobb Catches Five Passes

Houston Texans wide receiver Randall Cobb was more involved in Week 2 than he was in Houston's first game of 2020, catching five passes for 59 yards in a loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Cobb was expected to serve as an underneath option for quarterback Deshaun Watson this year, and on Sunday he looked like […]

Brandin Cooks Is Houston's Leading Week 2 Receiver

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks led the team with 95 receiving yards in Week 2's loss to the Baltimore. He was targeted a team-high eight times, bringing in five of those for receptions. Cooks played the role that Will Fuller V had played in Week 1. Houston's lack of a clear-cut No. 1 receiver […]

Will Fuller V Not Targeted Against Ravens

What happened? While he did have one carry for no yards, Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller V was completely blanked on the receiving sheet in Sunday's loss to the Baltimore Ravens. No catches. No yards. Not even a target, despite playing 63 percent of the team's snaps. Fuller did leave the game shortly to […]

David Johnson Quiet Against Baltimore

Houston Texans running back David Johnson could never find his sledding on Sunday in a loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Johnson carried the ball 11 times for 34 yards and added two catches for 16 yards. With Duke Johnson (leg) out, David Johnson was the only running back to get a touch in this contest. […]

Deshaun Watson Held In Check By Ravens

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson did managed to throw for 275 yards against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 2, but with just one touchdown and an interception, Watson didn't have the strong day that fantasy managers expect from Watson. His 17 rushing yards on five carries were also a disappointment. Watson's opened 2020 with a […]

Tyler Eifert Finds End Zone Against Tennessee

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Tyler Eifert was targeted six times in Sunday's loss to the Tennessee Titans. He brought in three of them for 36 yards and a touchdown. At a shallow fantasy position, Eifert's usage in this one is interesting, though the fact that he was targeted just once back in Week 1 is […]

Keelan Cole Catches Touchdown Against Titans

For the second week in a row, Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Keelan Cole caught a touchdown from quarterback Gardner Minshew II. Cole was an afterthought last year, but has emerged as a key weapon for Minshew in 2020. He was targeted seven times, catching six passes for 58 yards and the score. Cole's becoming a […]

D.J. Chark Jr. Has Solid Week 2

The targets weren't quite there, but Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. managed to bring all four of the ones he got in for receptions, finishing with 84 yards in his team's Week 2 loss to the Titans. Chark's not getting the ball as much as expected in an offense that's been spreading it […]

Chris Thompson Scores Week 2 Touchdown

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Chris Thompson scored his first touchdown of the 2020 season on Sunday, finishing with three catches for 20 yards and a score. He also added two rushes for seven yards. Of course, Thompson only getting five touches in this loss to the Titans is worrisome, especially with a game script that […]

Laviska Shenault Jr. Receives Five Carries

Yes, you read the headline right. Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. had been teased as the kind of player who'd be involved all over the field for the Jags. We saw that in action in the team's Week 2 loss to the Tennessee Titans, as Shenault was used in the backfield, getting five […]
