QUARTERBACKS

PlayerAtt.Comp.YardsTDINTRushYardsTDPoints
Kirk Cousins594.3392.84427.529.1213.0736113.41.26286.34
Nick Mullens37.924.7276.71.551.174.29.50.0916.42

Kirk Cousins: Reunited with his former Washington offensive coordinator, Cousins finished as fantasy's QB7 with Kevin O'Connell in his first year as his head coach. Among quarterbacks that played at least half the season, however, Cousins was 11th on a points-per-game basis as the veteran quarterback set multi-year lows in completion percentage (65.9%), TD% (4.5), yards per attempt (7.1) and passer rating (92.5) in 2022. With the Vikings bolstering its group of pass catchers by drafting Jordan Addison in the first round, Cousins remains a steady back-end QB1 type heading into 2023.

RUNNING BACKS

PlayerAtt.YardsTDRec.YardsTDPoints
Alexander Mattison194.7817.75.3540.72942.1176.22
Ty Chandler93.1386.42.3317.3124.70.979.14

DeWayne McBride42.3177.71.16.344.70.333.79
C.J. Ham4.214.70.121075.30.618.32

Alexander Mattison: The Vikings released Dalvin Cook this offseason, and Mattison is poised for a breakout season. The fifth-year back has 90-plus rushing yards in five of the six games in which has has played more than 40 offensive snaps.

Ty Chandler: As a direct result of Cook's release, Chandler moves into the backup role to Mattison. Even if the Vikings utilize a committee approach, Chandler and Dewayne McBride are intriguing sleepers late in drafts.

WIDE RECEIVERS

PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDPoints
Justin Jefferson116.91620.68.34.218.90.21273.46
Jordan Addison57.8717.44.83.2160.16132
K.J. Osborn49.35884.32.511.30.1110.98
Jalen Nailor11.3131.7100024.82
Brandon Powell10.9112.90.81.56.80.0622.58
Jalen Reagor2.123.50.20004.6

Justin Jefferson: What more can Jefferson do? Not only has he improved his production in each successive season, but he broke Randy Moss's record for receiving yards through a player's first three seasons. During those three seasons, he's racked up a total of 324 receptions for 4,825 yards and 25 touchdowns.

Jordan Addison: With Justin Jefferson commanding so much defensive attention, Addison's landing spot is ideal for his ability to make an early impact. While he ran a slower-than-expected 40-yard dash (4.49) at the NFL Combine, the former Biletnikoff Award winner is a polished route-runner with some inside/outside versatility and the ability to win at all three levels.

TIGHT ENDS

PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDPoints
T.J. Hockenson68.1726.85.2000137.93
Josh Oliver10103.50.900020.75
Johnny Mundt7.775.30.700015.58

T.J. Hockenson: Hockenson was traded midseason within the division, and he averaged 8.6 targets and six receptions per game after the trade to the Vikings. Despite the midseason trade, he finished as fantasy's TE2, but part of that was aided by two monster games — 8/179/2 for the Lions in Week 4 and 13/109/2 for the Vikings in Week 16. Other than those two huge games, he had double-digit (half-PPR) fantasy points in only two other games.

In addition to viewing our 2020 Fantasy Football Projections by position, we will post our preseason projections per team.

Below you will find our 2020 fantasy football projections for the Jacksonville Jaguars.

QUARTERBACKS


PlayerAtt.Comp.YardsTDINTRushYardsTDPoints
Gardner Minshew547.9343.83862.724.668.7749.12160.74261.65
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 while also rushing for another 344 yards over 14 games.
Mike Glennon38.123.2247.71.680.994.96.10.0215.38

RUNNING BACKS


PlayerAtt.YardsTDRec.YardsTDPoints
Leonard Fournette237.8986.97.0247.3340.60.83179.85
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 Thompson31.4127.20.6339.8310.41.9959.48
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 Armstead37.3147.30.56756.70.2825.44
Devine Ozigbo8.834.80.130.96.90.025.07

WIDE RECEIVERS


PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDPoints
D.J. Chark68.2920.76.48214.40.04132.63
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 Westbrook61637.53.814.930.40.190.25
With exactly 101 targets and 66 receptions in back-to-back seasons, Westbrook has averaged a consistent 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 Shenault40.8475.33.5716.790.20.6781.99
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 Conley39.3534.53.5400074.69
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 Cole6.689.80.4600011.74
Collin Johnson2.430.60.240004.5

TIGHT ENDS


PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDPoints
Tyler Eifert404483.600066.4
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'Shaughnessy16.8164.61.0100022.52
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.

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

 

PlayerAtt.Comp.YardsTDINTRushYardsTDPoints
Nick Foles542.6344.63825.320.0811.3937.478.50.37220.62
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.
Gardner Minshew5.53.437.40.170.142.33.50.012.31

RUNNING BACKS

 

PlayerAtt.YardsTDRec.YardsTDPoints
Leonard Fournette281.31097.19.8546.5390.61.4216.27
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 Blue702521.0517.51260.2645.66
Ryquell Armstead53.7225.51.615.738.80.0636.45
Benny Cunningham10.533.60.114.134.90.087.99

WIDE RECEIVERS

 

PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDPoints
Dede Westbrook70.6811.95.34.725.90115.58
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 Lee66831.63.3746.20107.58
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 Conley35.9409.32.8700058.15
D.J. Chark22.8307.81.1400037.62
Keelan Cole202620.800031

TIGHT ENDS

 

PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDPoints
Josh Oliver24266.41.4400035.28
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.
Geoff Swaim25.8250.30.7700029.65
James O'Shaughnessy16.1151.30.4800018.01
