Christian Kirk Produces 89 Yards In Victory Over Texans
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk hauled in four passes for 89 yards in a 24-21 win over Houston.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. rushed 20 times for 56 yards, adding four receptions on six targets for 30 yards in a win at Houston.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence completed 23-of-38 passes for 364 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in a 24-21 win against Houston.

Josh Downs - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 12
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Flex / WR3 ANALYSIS: Downs has subtly been one of the best rookie receivers this season.

Gabe Davis - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 12
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Flex / WR3 ANALYSIS: While Davis looked like the prototypical post-hype sleeper in fantasy to start the year with touchdowns in four of the first five games, he has unfortunately gone back to his usual boom-bust ways that plagued him all of last year. After dropping... Read More
Miles Sanders - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 12
BALLER MOVE: Bench in leagues with 14 or fewer teams POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 ANALYSIS: Sanders has been one of fantasy football's biggest disappointments this season.

Travis Etienne Jr. Checks In As High-End RB1 For Week 12
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. faces off against the Houston Texans in Week 12. After setting the fantasy world ablaze with four straight top-five weekly finishes, he has cooled of late with two consecutive weekly performances outside the top 27. Etienne has had some tough matchups of late (49ers and Titans), but the... Read More
Evan Engram In A Great Spot At Texans
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram squares off against the Houston Texans in Week 12. Engram has mostly been a rock-solid PPR option at his position, with only three games below 9.5 fantasy points.

Calvin Ridley Back In As A WR2 Vs. Texans
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Calvin Ridley takes on the division rival Houston Texans in a Week 12 road matchup this Sunday.

Christian Kirk A Safe Flex Option vs. Texans
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk faces a formidable Houston Texans secondary in Week 12. With Zay Jones back in the lineup and Calvin Ridley feasting, Kirk saw his target numbers drop slightly but was still second on the team in that category. The twenty-seven-year-old wideout should be in for a bounce-back afternoon against a... Read More
Trevor Lawrence In Play Week 12 At Texans
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence takes on the division rival Houston Texans in a Week 12 clash. The third-year signal-caller is coming off one of his best games as a pro, scoring four total touchdowns that led to a QB1 weekly performance, the second time doing so in his young career. WR Zay Jones appears... Read More
DK Metcalf - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 12 (2023)
BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2 ANALYSIS: The Seattle Seahawks offense has struggled with consistency in 2023, especially at the quarterback position, and wide receiver DK Metcalf has seen his numbers drop as a result.

Evan Engram With Another Modest Effort In Win Against Titans
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram pulled in four receptions for 29 yards in a blowout win vs. the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. It was the second straight game Engram was held under 30 yards, which is not going to get it done for fantasy managers. The Titans are one of the better units at... Read More
Calvin Ridley Explodes For 100-Plus Yards And Two Scores Vs. Titans
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Calvin Ridley hauled in seven passes on a team-high nine targets for 103 yards and two touchdowns against the Titans this Sunday.

Christian Kirk With Only 48 Yards In Win Vs. Titans
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk caught three of six targets for 48 yards in the 34-14 win against Tennessee. It was definitely a disappointing output for the twenty-seven-year-old, who was coming off his second 100+ yard game of the season. Kirk's teammate Calvin Ridley absolutely dominated the Titans secondary all game long, as Lawrence... Read More
Travis Etienne Jr. Stymied By Strong Titans Rush Defense
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. rushed 14 times for 52 yards, catching an additional three passes for only seven yards against Tennessee. While it was a tough matchup, it's disappointing to see Etienne only muster 7.4 half-PPR points on a day in which the Jags offense scored 34. The Titans are one of... Read More
Trevor Lawrence Dices Up Titans Defense In Week 11 Victory
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence completed 24-of-32 passes for 262 yards and two touchdowns, adding 17 yards and two additional scores on the ground.

Terry McLaurin - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 11 (2023)
BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: High-end WR2 ANALYSIS: "Scary" Terry McLaurin has been a steady pass-catching presence for young quarterback Sam Howell this season. He currently checks in as the WR20 in half-PPR, which is almost right on par with his 2023 ADP (WR22). The Ohio State product hasn't had many... Read More
Raheem Mostert - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 11 (2023)
BALLER MOVE: Start in 8+ team leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: High-end RB2 ANALYSIS: Raheem Mostert has been the biggest overachiever in fantasy football this season, and it isn't close.

Evan Engram Should Rebound Vs. Titans In Week 11
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram draws the Titans in Week 11, after mustering only 12 yards against San Fran this past week. All members of the Jaguars offense not named Christian Kirk disappointed in Week 10, as they were completely shut down by a 49ers unit on extra rest. To make matters worse, the... Read More
Calvin Ridley Remains Playable Against Titans
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Calvin Ridley faces the Tennessee Titans bottom-five pass defense this coming Sunday. Like Lawrence, it's mostly been a tough year for the 28-year-old wideout, who has far from lived up to expectations this season. Ridley sits at WR42 in half-PPR scoring, with five finishes outside the top 59 on the week.... Read More
Christian Kirk Checks In As A WR2 Vs. Titans
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk faces a weak Titans secondary in Week 11. Kirk has been the unquestioned No. 1 target for quarterback Trevor Lawrence in 2023, leading the team in targets, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns. Even with an atrociously bad offensive day in which the Jaguars committed four turnovers and scored three... Read More
Travis Etienne Jr. Still A Lineup Lock In Week 11
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. takes on a tough Tennessee Titans run defense in Week 11. The former first-round pick struggled last week against an elite 49ers front, but that has been a common theme this season. We've seen Etienne boom in his advantageous matchups and struggle mightily in the tougher ones. Given... Read More
Trevor Lawrence Not A Trustworthy Option For Week 11
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence takes on the Tennessee Titans at home in Week 11. It's been a rough year statistically for the 24-year-old, who has been one of the biggest non-injury busts in fantasy this year with nine touchdowns to eight turnovers through nine weeks played. Lawrence also scored 2.1 points last week, the... Read More
Brian Robinson Jr. - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 11
BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2 ANALYSIS: The Commanders' top running back has been one of fantasy football's quiet revelations this year.

When Is Matthew Stafford Coming Back: Is Stafford Returning and Playing in Week 11
Many had already written off Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford coming into the 2023 season.
