The Houston Texans defense didn't produce much from a fantasy standpoint in Thursday's loss to the Panthers.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr. is a quality WR3 play this week against the Arizona Cardinals.

D.J. Chark Jr. A Volatile WR4 Against Arizona

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. is an intriguing but risky option in Week 3 against the Arizona Cardinals. After dominating targets in Week 1, Chark was a non-factor last week against the Denver Broncos, so the other athletic wideout may be hard to handicap going forward. One thing is certain, rookie quarterback Trevor Lawrence […]
