QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Kirk Cousins	512.3	350.9	4047.2	29.46	10.76	33.6	109.2	0.76	273.69
Kellen Mond	32.7	20.8	242	1.34	0.98	3.7	12.6	0.07	14.76

Kirk Cousins: Throwing 35 touchdowns and 13 interceptions (both career highs) in 2020, Cousins was especially good down the stretch. Cousins scored a minimum of 20 fantasy points in seven of his final nine games last season. Even though Stefon Diggs led the NFL in receiving, rookie Justin Jefferson (88/1,400/7) more than compensated for the 2019 version of Diggs (63/1,130/6). Given the team's run-first nature, however, Cousins remains a streaming option for those in single-QB 12-team leagues.

RUNNING BACKS

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Dalvin Cook	293.4	1349.6	12.47	49.3	418.2	2.5	291.25
Alexander Mattison	124.3	553.1	2.67	14.9	122.2	0.9	96.4
Kene Nwangwu	32.3	142.1	0.89	3.2	25.7	0.2	24.92
C.J. Ham	5	15.5	0.1	7.1	57.9	0.4	13.89

Dalvin Cook: Once again, Cook has missed multiple games, but he set career highs in touches (356), yards from scrimmage (1,918) and touchdowns (17) and scored the third-most fantasy points (half-PPR) among running backs. The clear lead back in one of the league's most run-heavy offenses, Cook averaged a career-high 5.0 YPC in 2020 and has a minimum of 40 catches in each of the past three seasons.

Alexander Mattison: Dalvin Cook has never played a full season and has actually missed multiple games in all four seasons. Given Cook's durabilty history and the team's run-first offensive philosophy, Mattison is a high-end handcuff.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Justin Jefferson	87.7	1231	8	0	0	0	214.95
Adam Thielen	80.3	1020.8	7.5	5	27	0.05	190.23

K.J. Osborn	3.3	40.7	0.3	0	0	0	7.52
Ihmir Smith-Marsette	2	25.7	0.2	0	0	0	4.77

Justin Jefferson: Jefferson exceeded all expectations in his inaugural season with 88 catches for a rookie-record 1,400 yards and seven touchdowns. Not only did the former LSU Tiger have seven 100-yard games, but he had double-digit targets in five of his final six games after doing so in only two of his first 10 games. Going forward, Jefferson is clearly the 1(a) to Adam Thielen's 1(b) in Minnesota's passing offense.

Adam Thielen: Thielen averaged only 61.7 YPG, but he scored 14 touchdowns in 2020. Only three receivers were targeted more often in the red zone than Thielen (19). While Justin Jefferson has moved ahead of him in the wide receiver pecking order, Thielen remains a strong WR2 in both real life and fantasy.

TIGHT ENDS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Irv Smith	38.3	411.8	3.8	0	0	0	83.13
Tyler Conklin	29.9	321.7	2.4	0	0	0	61.52
Chris Herndon	25.1	274.5	2.2	0	0	0	53.2
Brandon Dillon	1.5	15	0.1	0	0	0	2.85

Irv Smith: Smith missed three games last season, but the second-year tight end set career highs in YPG (28.1), Y/R (12.2) and touchdowns (five). The arrow was pointing up for the third-year tight end with Kyle Rudolph in New York, but he will have meniscus surgery that is expected to "sideline him for at least the start of the regular season."

Tyler Conklin: Earlier this offseason, Mike Zimmer talked up Conklin when he said: "It's a bigger role for Tyler Conklin [this season]. He's kind of emerged as a guy that's moving upward, and with those two guys (Conklin and Smith), we have a lot of weapons there." With Smith set to have meniscus surgery, Conklin has the potential to flirt with TE1 (top-12) numbers if Smith misses most or all of the season.

Chris Herndon: Missing most of the 2019 season, Herndon played a full 16-game slate in 2020, but he was mostly a non-factor with an average receiving line of 1.9/17.9 and a total of three touchdowns. With the Vikings sending a fourth-round pick to acquire Herndon from the Jets, it's possible the Vikings expect Smith to miss a significant portion of the 2021 season.

QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Gardner Minshew	547.9	347.9	3862.7	24.66	8.77	55	242	0.83	264.79
While the Jags are the early favorites to win the Trevor Lawrence sweepstakes, there is little competition for Minshew in 2020. As a rookie, Minshew threw for 3,271 yards, 21 touchdowns and six interceptions. An underrated aspect of his game is his rushing ability as Minshew averaged 5.1 YPC and gained 344 yards on the ground. Only four quarterbacks -- Lamar Jackson (1,206), Kyler Murray (544), Josh Allen (510) and Deshaun Watson (413) -- rushed for more.
Mike Glennon	38.1	23.2	247.7	1.68	0.99	4.9	6.1	0.02	15.38

RUNNING BACKS

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Leonard Fournette	220.1	913.4	6.49	46.1	331.9	0.81	168.33
While he only scored three touchdowns in 2019, Fournette ranked third in the NFL in touches (341) and converted his 100 targets into 76 catches for 522 yards. Despite the lack of touchdowns, he was the only player in the league to get 100% of his team's carries inside the five.
Chris Thompson	31.4	127.2	0.63	40.9	321.1	2.05	60.91
Reunited with Jay Gruden, Thompson has at least 35 receptions in five consecutive seasons, but he has also missed five or more games in each of the past three years. While durability has been a challenge for Thompson, the third-down back has averaged 3.43 receptions per game (equivalent to 54.93 per 16 games) over that five-year stretch.
Ryquell Armstead	37.3	147.3	0.56	7	56.7	0.28	25.44
Devine Ozigbo	20.6	81.4	0.31	2.6	20	0.05	12.3

WIDE RECEIVERS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
D.J. Chark	72.7	992.4	6.91	2	14.4	0.04	142.38
Chark broke out in 2019 with 73 catches (on 118 targets) for 1,008 yards and eight touchdowns. With a new offensive coordinator (Jay Gruden), can Shark build upon his 2019 breakout in his age-24 season?
Dede Westbrook	59	616.6	3.69	4.9	30.4	0.1	87.44
With exactly 101 targets and 66 receptions in back-to-back seasons, Westbrook has averaged a consistent-but-mediocre 44.0 YPG (2019) and 44.8 YPG (2018) as well. Westbrook was the WR45 (half-PPR scoring) last year and is a low-upside option with a little more appeal in PPR formats compared to non-PPR leagues.
Laviska Shenault	42.5	499.4	3.72	16.7	90.2	0.67	85.3
Built more like a running back than a wide receiver, Shenault is dangerous in the open field and has drawn praise from his quarterback. "Laviska is a freak, man. I knew it when we played him at Colorado," Minshew said. "He’s a lot better route runner, a lot better at catching the ball than I even expected."
Chris Conley	33.7	460	3.03	0	0	0	64.18
Conley either set or tied previous career highs with 47 receptions for 775 yards and five touchdowns. While Conley averaged a career-high 16.5 Y/R, he had a career-low catch rate (52.2%).
Keelan Cole	6.6	89.8	0.46	0	0	0	11.74
Collin Johnson	2.4	30.6	0.24	0	0	0	4.5

TIGHT ENDS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Tyler Eifert	40	450	3.6	0	0	0	66.6
After playing just 14 games in the previous three seasons combined, Eifert played a full 16-game slate in 2019 and finished with 43 catches for 436 yards and three touchdowns. If he is able to put together another healthy season (granted, a big if), Eifert has the potential to flirt with top-12 numbers in Jay Gruden's TE-friendly offense.
James O'Shaughnessy	16.8	165.5	1.01	0	0	0	22.61
With Josh Oliver breaking his foot and Eifert's shaky durability history, O'Shaughnessy, who's returning from a torn ACL himself, could have some streamer appeal if Eifert misses any time in 2020. O'Shaughnessy was the TE13 through Week 5 (when he tore his ACL) last season.
Josh Oliver	4.4	44.9	0.37	0	0	0	6.71

Jacksonville Jaguars 2019 Fantasy Football Projections

In addition to viewing our 2019 Fantasy Football Projections by position, we will post our preseason projections per team.

Below you will find our 2019 fantasy football projections for the Jacksonville Jaguars.

 

QUARTERBACKS

 

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Nick Foles	542.6	344.6	3825.3	20.08	11.39	37.4	78.5	0.37	220.62
Now on his fourth NFL club, Foles is a fringe QB2 in two-QB fantasy leagues, but his signing provides a boost for Jacksonville's skill-position players. During his five seasons with the Jags, no quarterback has thrown more interceptions (75) or pick-sixes (13) than Blake Bortles, who has completed just 59.3 of his career pass attempts. Cutting down the number of drive-killing drives should especially help Leonard Fournette and the team's run-first offense.

RUNNING BACKS

Leonard Fournette	281.3	1097.1	9.85	46.5	390.6	1.4	216.27
Durability (11 missed games in two seasons) and inefficiency (career 3.7 YPC) are negatives, but there are some reasons for optimism. A true workhorse, Fournette has averaged nearly 20 carries per game (19.09) when he's been active and the team should sustain more drives with improved quarterback play. Not only did their offensive line battle a bunch of injuries last season, they got a steal with right tackle Jawaan Taylor in the second round. Plus, Fournette could be more involved in the passing game as well.
Alfred Blue	70	252	1.05	17.5	126	0.26	45.66

WIDE RECEIVERS

 

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Dede Westbrook	70.6	811.9	5.3	4.7	25.9	0	115.58
In a healthy sophomore campaign, Westbrook led the Jags with a 66/717/5 receiving line on 101 targets and added 98 rushing yards. Despite quality quarterback play, Westbrook still managed to finish as a top-35 wide receiver in 2018. Given the upgrade at quarterback, Westbrook is a nice value that should outperform his current ADP (WR48 at FFC).
Marqise Lee	66	831.6	3.3	7	46.2	0	107.58
Lee missed all of 2018 and it's possible that he won't be ready for the start of training camp. That said, his 2019 status for the opener doesn't appear to be in jeopardy. A potential slow start as he returns from his ACL tear combined with his lack of touchdowns (eight in 53 games) means he's not much more than a low-upside WR4 despite the upgrade at quarterback.
Chris Conley	35.9	409.3	2.87	0	0	0	58.15
D.J. Chark	22.8	307.8	1.14	0	0	0	37.62

TIGHT ENDS

 

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Josh Oliver	24	266.4	1.44	0	0	0	35.28
While rookie tight ends tend to struggle, the Jags used a top-70 selection on Oliver, who has earned some praise from the coaching staff during offseason workouts. Given the lack of competition on the roster, Oliver appears to be the odds-on favorite to lead the position group in fantasy points, but he's unlikely to be a useful fantasy asset in 2019 outside of really deep leagues.

Blake Bortles	537.3	326.7	3842	22	14	53.2	313.9	2.1	3.5	250.67
In an ideal world (according to Doug Marrone), Bortles may not throw a single pass all season. In his first full season as head coach, however, the Jags were perfectly balanced -- 527 pass attempts and 527 rush attempts -- with Bortles throwing it more than 100 times less in 2017 than 2016. Despite five interceptions in the last two regular-season games, Bortles played extremely well down the stretch with multiple passing scores and 300-plus yards in three of the four games through Week 16. Over the past three seasons, Bortles has finished as the QB4 (2015), QB10 (2016) and QB13 (2017) and he has the potential to once again outperform his ADP.

Running Backs

 

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	FL	Points
Leonard Fournette	318.5	1385.5	10.2	35.3	282.4	1.2	0.5	234.19
Missing three games as a rookie, Fournette was less than 100 percent for several others but managed to finish as fantasy's RB8 (RB10 in PPR) in Jacksonville's run-first scheme. Down to his lowest weight (223 pounds) since high school, Fournette's drop in weight should help with explosiveness and durability. An NFL rushing champion-to-be based on my statistical projections, Fournette could be even more involved in the passing game in 2018 as well.
T.J. Yeldon	81.9	356.3	1.9	39.7	287.8	1.2	0.9	81.21
Better in PPR formats, Yeldon had four-plus catches in four of his 10 games played, but he should cede some work to Corey Grant in the competition for non-Fournette running back touches.
Corey Grant	56.3	275.9	2.3	11.7	110	0.7	0.7	55.19
OC Nathaniel Hackett has talked up Grant, calling him a "major change-of-pace back." Grant has just 68 career rush attempts, but he has averaged 6.1 YPC as well as 9.9 Y/R on his nine career receptions.
Tommy Bohanon	3.1	3.7	0.3	4.3	38.7	0.2	0	7.24
Brandon Wilds	0.5	1.8	0	0	0	0	0	0.18

Wide Receivers

 

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	FL	Points
Keelan Cole	50.4	730.8	4.5	0	0	0	0.8	98.48
A late-season waiver-wire gem, Cole delivered several big fantasy performances down the stretch last year. From Weeks 13 to 16, Cole had either 100-plus yards and/or a touchdown in all four games with a total of 19 catches for 442 yards (23.26 Y/R) and three touchdowns during that span. With the season-ending injury to Marqise Lee, Cole should be the team's most-productive fantasy wide receiver.
Donte Moncrief	45.2	569.5	5.4	0	0	0	0.2	88.95
Still only 25 years old, Moncrief received a one-year, $9.6 million deal from the Jaguars in free agency. Limited due to injuries (11 missed games over the past two seasons), Moncrief has an impressive combination of size and athleticism.
Dede Westbrook	46.6	596.5	3.7	0	0	0	0.1	81.65
As a rookie, Westbrook had 27 catches for 339 yards and a touchdown over seven games. There should be an opportunity for him to improve last year's numbers on a per-game basis in his second season.
Rashad Greene	13.8	117.3	0.6	0	0	0	0.2	14.93
D.J. Chark	4.9	88.2	0.4	1	6	0	0.3	11.22

Leonard Fournette	319.5	1389.8	10.2	33.6	268.8	1.2	0.5	233.26
Missing three games as a rookie, Fournette was less than 100 percent for several others but managed to finish as fantasy's RB8 (RB10 in PPR) in Jacksonville's run-first scheme. Down to his lowest weight (223 pounds) since high school, Fournette's drop in weight should help with explosiveness and durability. With the league's best defense and a run-first offensive philosophy, the workhorse back has a chance to lead the NFL in carries if he can stay healthy for a full season.
T.J. Yeldon	80.9	351.9	1.8	39.7	287.8	1.2	0.9	80.17
Better in PPR formats, Yeldon had four-plus catches in four of his 10 games played, but he should cede some work to Corey Grant in the competition for non-Fournette running back touches.

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	FL	Points
Marqise Lee	58.3	746.2	3.8	2.6	19.5	0	0.2	98.97
Re-signed to a four-year deal, Lee enters the season as the team's top returning wideout. Over an eight-game stretch from Weeks 6 to 14 before getting hurt in Week 15, Lee averaged 5.13 catches for 61.75 yards on 8.25 targets per game with three touchdowns over that span.
Donte Moncrief	40.6	511.6	4.9	0	0	0	0.2	80.16
Still only 25 years old, Moncrief received a one-year, $9.6 million deal from the Jaguars in free agency. Limited due to injuries (11 missed games over the past two seasons), Moncrief has an impressive combination of size and athleticism and will likely start opposite Marqise Lee.
Keelan Cole	39.5	572.8	3.6	0	0	0	0.8	77.28
A late-season waiver-wire gem, Cole delivered several big fantasy performances down the stretch last year. From Weeks 13 to 16, Cole had either 100-plus yards and/or a touchdown in all four games with a total of 19 catches for 442 yards (23.26 Y/R) and three touchdowns during that span.
