Riley Patterson An Underrated Option In Week 5 Against Texans

Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Riley Patterson is an underrated option at the position in Week 5 versus the Houston Texans. Considering that the Jaguars were playing in less-than-ideal weather conditions in Week 4, they didn't have the young kicker attempt any field goals. Before last week's game, Patterson had converted seven of his eight field-goal attempts... Read More

Christian Kirk Primed For Bounce-Back Game In Week 5

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk is primed for a massive bounce-back game in Week 5 against the Houston Texans.

Jerry Jeudy Catches Only Three Passes Against Colts

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy was second on the team in receiving in Thursday night's 12-9 overtime loss to the Indianapolis Colts, but he had just three catches on eight targets for a pedestrian 53 yards.

Travis Etienne Jr. Is A Risky Flex Option In Week 5

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. is a risky flex option in Week 5 versus the Houston Texans. The second-year running back out-snapped James Robinson in Week 4 against the Philadelphia Eagles and both running backs on the Jaguars received eight attempts.
