Jaguars | Marqise Lee will not play Thursday Mon Aug 21, 07:44 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Marqise Lee (ankle) has been ruled out for the preseason game against the Carolina Panthers Thursday, Aug. 24, and is considered unlikely to play in the final preseason game.
| Footballguys view: With the QB situation in Jacksonville it doesn't really make us want to rush out and get Lee anyway...even after his mini-breakout season in 2016. With 63 catches in 2016, we could see Lee catching 20 fewer passes this year. The team has bad QB play and they want to run the ball as much as possible. |

Jacksonville Jaguars TE Mychal Rivera (hand) has been ruled out for the preseason game against the Carolina Panthers Thursday, Aug. 24. Head coach Doug Marrone said he hopes Rivera will be able to play in the final preseason game.

Jaguars | T.J. Yeldon to sit out preseason game Mon Aug 21, 07:26 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars RB T.J. Yeldon (hamstring) has been ruled out for the preseason game against the Carolina Panthers Thursday, Aug. 24, and is considered unlikely to play in the final preseason game.
| Footballguys view: Yeldon is just competing for the no3 spot on the RB depth chart behind Leonard Fournette and Chris Ivory. This injury could linger for a long time if the Jaguars don't give him plenty of time to heal. |

Jaguars | Leonard Fournette ruled out Mon Aug 21, 07:09 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars RB Leonard Fournette (foot) has been ruled out for the preseason game against the Carolina Panthers Thursday, Aug. 24, and is considered unlikely to play in the final preseason game.
| Footballguys view: The Jaguars are being overly cautious with their star rookie RB here. Fournette is going to be the centerpiece of the offense if healthy. He believes he'll be ready for Week 1 of the regular season, but this is the same foot injury that bothered Fournette in college at LSU. |

Jaguars | Jacksonville QBs share snaps Mon Aug 21, 07:01 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars QBs Blake Bortles and Chad Henne received an equal amount of snaps with the first-team offense during practice Monday, Aug. 21.
| Footballguys view: We feel like Jaguars fans need something to smile about when considering their two options at quarterback. Head coach Doug Marrone is not ready to name a starter for the third preseason game and wants to see them practice Tuesday, Aug. 22, before making a decision. |

Jaguars | T.J. Yeldon sitting out Sat Aug 19, 04:02 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars RB T.J. Yeldon (hamstring) is not participating in practice Saturday, Aug. 19.
| Footballguys view: Yeldon is trying to just earn a spot somewhere on the depth chart at this point in his career. He's currently third at the RB position behind rookie Leonard Fournette and veteran Chris Ivory. Yeldon's fantasy stock in dynasty leagues is incredibly low with his play and career outlook. |

Jaguars | Leonard Fournette should be ready for opener Sat Aug 19, 01:32 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars RB Leonard Fournette (foot) told reporters Saturday, Aug. 19, he expects to be ready for Week 1 but acknowledged his exact return date is up to the coaches.
| Footballguys view: Fournette is getting drafted as a RB1 by fantasy owners right now. With a current ADP of RB11 (2.09), Fournette will have to 'hit' essentially to pay off. We love his skill set, but things are a bit of a mess with a move to a quarterback competition in Jacksonville. That offense...and that quarterback situation...don't make us feel good about the fantasy outlook for the Jags. |

Jaguars | Dan Carpenter to visit Jacksonville Fri Aug 18, 01:11 PM
Free-agent PK Dan Carpenter (Bills) will work out for the Jacksonville Jaguars this weekend, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport.
| Footballguys view: Jason Myers has been too inconsistent for the team to trust. They might not keep Carpenter if Myers improves, but he is definitely a few steps out on the plank. |

Jaguars | T.J. Yeldon injures hamstring Fri Aug 18, 02:42 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars RB T.J. Yeldon (hamstring) suffered a left hamstring strain in the first quarter and did not return against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Thursday, Aug. 17. Yeldon finished with two carries for two yards.
| Footballguys view: Yeldon might not be guaranteed a roster spot after Corey Grant carried over his impressive Week 17 from last year to the preseason opener last week. |

Jaguars | Blake Bortles not a lock to start Thu Aug 17, 11:50 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said QB Blake Bortles has to earn the starting quarterback job and indicated QB Chad Henne has a chance to take the job. Marrone said he is looking for the best person to lead the offense.
| Footballguys view: That Marrone is saying this after two preseason games is a sign that Bortles is in trouble. Henne is looking like the Week 1 starter unless Bortles turns this around. |

Jaguars | Allen Robinson has solid performance Thu Aug 17, 11:45 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Allen Robinson caught five passes for 40 yards in the preseason game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Thursday, Aug. 17.
| Footballguys view: Robinson was wide open and missed by Blake Bortles in the most memorable play from the game. He could get a new starter by Week 1, which can't hurt his outlook. |

Jaguars | Dede Westbrook finishes with 131 yards Thu Aug 17, 11:39 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Dede Westbrook caught six passes for 131 yards in the preseason game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Thursday, Aug. 17.
| Footballguys view: Westbrook was a late-game star again this week. He is looking like a good bet to be in the top three receivers for this team next year, if not start. Allen Hurns is overpaid and Allen Robinson and Marqise Lee will be both free agents. |

Link to story Jaguars | Blake Bortles dominating in garbage time Thu Aug 17, 12:57 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars QB Blake Bortles has the highest passer rating (111) in the NFL over the last two seasons during garbage time (defined as the last five minutes of the fourth quarter and the losing team is down nine or more points), having completed 78-of-118 passes for 964 yards, with 12 touchdowns versus only four interceptions. Additionally, since 2015, 20.7 percent of Bortles' touchdown passes have come in these instances, which is nearly four times the average for the rest of the league.
| Footballguys view: Garbage time or not, production is production in fantasy. Even with that being the case, though, Bortles is no more than a fringe backup quarterback for fantasy teams and isn't a guy Fantasy GMs are clamoring for in drafts. |

Jaguars | Blake Bortles' arm is OK Wed Aug 16, 02:51 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars QB Blake Bortles indicated his arm was 'fine' when speaking to reporters Tuesday, Aug. 15.
| Footballguys view: Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone caused a bit of a stir when he said he rested Bortles over the weekend because the quarterback looked like he had a tired arm. Bortles is fine, but the team wants to run the ball more this year and that limits his fantasy value. Fantasy owners already don't trust Bortles due to his propensity to make mistakes and underperform. |

Jaguars | Leonard Fournette won't play Thursday Mon Aug 14, 03:12 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars RB Leonard Fournette (foot) will not play Thursday, Aug. 17, against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers because of his foot injury, according to head coach Doug Marrone.
| Footballguys view: This is no surprise as Fournette has missed the last two practices with this injury he suffered in the team's first preseason game. Marrone has previously stated the team will proceed with caution when it comes to their 2017 first-round pick. Fournette was plagued by ankle/foot injuries during his last year in college at LSU. If healthy, Fournette has the ability to be a RB1 for fantasy owners. Reports out of training camp seem to indicate the Jags will rotate three backs (Fournette, Chris Ivory, T.J. Yeldon) initially at the start of the regular season. |

Jaguars | Marqise Lee has high ankle sprain Mon Aug 14, 10:19 AM
Updating previous reports, Jacksonville Jaguars WR Marqise Lee (ankle) is out with a high ankle sprain. He will attempt to return before Week 1.
| Footballguys view: For a speedy guy like Lee, a high ankle sprain can be devastating. That injury takes over a month to properly heal and it can be aggravated with the slightest tweak. We're not rushing to add the no3 WR in the Jags passing game, so Lee's injury doesn't have a big fantasy impact. |

Jacksonville Jaguars RB Leonard Fournette (foot) sat out of practice due to a foot injury Sunday, Aug. 13.

Jaguars | Marqise Lee injury update Sun Aug 13, 02:23 PM
Updating a previous report, Jacksonville Jaguars WR Marqise Lee (leg) reportedly did not suffer a serious leg injury as initially feared after he was carted off during practice Sunday, Aug. 13.
| Footballguys view: It's always nerve-wracking when the cart is brought out. The initial reports are positive, but we'll wait for further results. The Jaguars are likely to run the ball more this year, making Lee (their no3 WR) no more than a WR6 for fantasy owners. |

Jacksonville Jaguars WR Marqise Lee (leg) was carted off with a right leg injury suffered during practice Sunday, Aug. 13.

Jaguars | Leonard Fournette confident Sat Aug 12, 12:11 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars RB Leonard Fournette said the NFL was 'a lot slower' than he expected following his preseason debut Thursday, Aug. 10, against the New England Patriots. 'I think, to me, it was really easy,' Fournette said.
| Footballguys view: Fournette should be confident as he's one of the best running backs to enter the league over the last 10 years. The speed of the game is one thing, but it's the discipline of the game that younger players need to get used to. In the NFL, Fournette won't be able to regularly take advantage of defenders out of position like he did in college at LSU. We're projecting over 1,000 all-purpose yards and around 9 touchdowns for the rookie in 2017. |

Jacksonville Jaguars QB Blake Bortles connected on 3-of-5 passes for 16 yards in the team's preseason opener Thursday, August 10, opposite the New England Patriots.
| Footballguys view: Uneventful is what the Jaguars want from Bortles, assuming their running game and defense can carry them. He and the Jaguars passing game should become less prominent this year. |

Jaguars | Leonard Fournette scores in preseason debut Thu Aug 10, 09:37 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars RB Leonard Fournette rushed nine times for 31 yards and a touchdown in his preseason debut Thursday, August 10, against the New England Patriots.
| Footballguys view: Fournette wasn't the starter, but took over early in the first quarter. He ran with good power and showed some nifty footwork in the red zone. Neither Fournette nor the Jaguars run game is subtle, but if they stay competitive, he could get enough work justify his lofty ADP. |

Jaguars | Branden Albert going on retired list Tue Aug 8, 10:27 AM
Updating previous reports, Jacksonville Jaguars OT Branden Albert will be placed on the reserve/retired list Tuesday, Aug. 8. The team will retain his rights, and he'll only be able to play for them.
| Footballguys view: So much for the re-upgrade to the line. This situation is still up in the air, as Albert can still play, but only for the Jaguars as long as they own his rights. Placing Albert on the reserve/retired list gave them control of the situation. |
