Donte Moncrief Has Upside In Week 8

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Donte Moncrief has received double-digit targets in two of the past three games, giving him some of the best upside on the team heading into Sunday's meeting with the Eagles in London.

T.J. Yeldon Has PPR Upside Against Eagles

Despite the acquisition of running back Carlos Hyde, Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon should remain a solid play in PPR leagues in Week 8 against the Eagles thanks to his usage in the receiving game, something Hyde is unlikely to help in. It's possible that Yeldon's reduced role winds up so reduced that he […]

Carlos Hyde's Role Unclear Heading Into Week 8

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Carlos Hyde was acquired via trade last week and is expected to suit up for his first game as a Jaguar on Sunday when the team plays Philadelphia in London, but it'll be difficult to trust him in fantasy lineups at this point. T.J. Yeldon should remain an active part of […]

Blake Bortles A Risky Play In Week 8

Last Sunday, the Jacksonville Jaguars showed that they weren't afraid to make a mid-game change at the quarterback position, benching starter Blake Bortles for Cody Kessler after Bortles struggled against the Texans.

Will Fuller May Have Opportunity To Shine

With the Miami Dolphins having allowed just five touchdowns to wide receivers and the Texans possessing a No. 1 receiver who rates as a top fantasy option, Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller finds himself in a tough spot on Thursday.
