Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. had a huge game in his team's 48-20 Week 15 win over the New York Jets on Sunday. Although the 26-year-old struggled to just 32 rushing yards on 12 carries, he more than made up for it by hauling in three receptions for 73 yards and three touchdowns on four targets. Etienne Jr. has now recorded 1,203 yards from scrimmage and 12 touchdowns on 242 touches across 14 games this season. He's established himself as the clear RB1 in a Jacksonville offense that is hitting its stride down the stretch of the season. Etienne Jr. remains a must-start fantasy running back heading into his Week 16 matchup against the Denver Broncos.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence had a career day in the Week 15 48-20 win over the visiting New York Jets on Sunday. The fifth-year pro was excellent in the lopsided victory, completing 20-of-32 passes for 330 yards and five scores, adding 51 yards and an additional touchdown on the ground (five carries). Lawrence's five passing TDs were a new personal best and his most in a game since he threw four in Week 15 of the 2022 season. Over the last three outings, the 26-year-old has piled up a stellar 9:0 TD:INT ratio, while averaging 267.7 yards per game through the air -- over 40 yards higher than his average on the campaign as a whole (221.5). Sitting atop the AFC East with a game between them and their division-rival Houston Texans, Lawrence and the Jags will prepare for a far more challenging test next Sunday when they line up against the Denver Broncos on the road.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington (hip), who was listed as questionable for Week 15, is officially active on Sunday to face the visiting New York Jets. Washington injured his hip in Week 13 and did not play in last weekend's big win over the Indianapolis Colts. The 23-year-old is back for a juicy matchup against the Jets, but fantasy managers should be cautious when considering him as a WR4/flex in his return. Rookie first-round wideout Travis Hunter (knee) is done for the year, but Washington might be quarterback Trevor Lawrence's fourth read in the passing game now behind receivers Jakobi Meyers and Brian Thomas Jr., and tight end Brenton Strange. The return of Thomas from an ankle sprain recently has definitely lowered the fantasy ceiling for Washington going forward, and it remains to be seen how much the Jags will actually need to throw the football in Week 15.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. has tested his fantasy managers' patience throughout the entire 2025 NFL season. Between missing time and delivering several underwhelming performances, Thomas has not lived up to his late-first-round price tag in last summer's fantasy drafts. However, he could be turning a corner ahead of Sunday's Week 15 contest against the New York Jets. Thomas is coming off a modest performance against the Colts in which he caught three of six targets for 87 yards, but his underlying metrics were even more encouraging. The second-year receiver finished last week with 153 air yards and an average depth of target of 25.5 yards, both of which ranked sixth-most among all NFL wide receivers. If he can turn these potential yards into even more receiving yards, big plays, and perhaps a touchdown, he'll turn in a dominant fantasy performance. This week is as encouraging as any for Thomas, as the Jets' secondary has been iffy this season. While New York has allowed the 11th-fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers in 2025, they also haven't intercepted a single pass this year. If Jacksonville doesn't abandon the pass early, Thomas should exceed his projections and rank as a top-15 fantasy receiver for Week 15.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers has become a popular target in this offense in recent weeks. Meyers currently carries a three-game touchdown streak into the Week 15 matchup against the New York Jets. Last week, Meyers saw 10 targets, which was his most since Week 2. The Jags are clearly leaning on him in the passing game, and that should continue this weekend. Meyers figures to continue having success against an average Jets secondary. Fantasy managers should be able to count on Meyers to offer WR2 upside for this home contest.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington (hip) has seemingly fallen off the fantasy radar in recent weeks, and it isn't only due to his injury. The 23-year-old has stepped up superbly for the team this season, as they've dealt with a few injuries to their WR corps. However, he's taken somewhat of a back seat since Jacksonville acquired former Las Vegas Raider Jakobi Meyers at the November trade deadline. In the three full appearances played together, Meyers has out-caught (12-10) and out-gained (155-124) Washington, despite the latter out-targeting him 16-15. As it stands, Meyers has led the position in snaps three games running, pushing Washington down the ranks of the passing game hierarchy. The Penn State product should still have some productive weeks, but fantasy managers can look elsewhere for help in the playoffs, particularly while he battles a hip ailment.

Despite beginning the season with a strong role in the offense, Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange has taken a slight step back recently in terms of production. The third-year pro missed a stretch of five games earlier in the year due to a hip injury. While Strange has remained involved, commanding 15 targets over the previous three games since his return, new teammate Jakobi Meyers has hampered his upside. Furthermore, wideout Brian Thomas Jr. figures to see an uptick in work as he's further removed from an ankle injury. Strange may be a critical piece of the Jags' attack, although too many mouths to feed in an offense that ranks in the bottom 12 of the league in pass rate (54.52%) makes him a riskier option than earlier in the campaign.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers has excelled since being acquired from the Las Vegas Raiders at this year's trade deadline. Meyers has scored in three straight games and has totaled 22 receptions for 284 yards on 31 targets in five games with the team. The Jaguars are 4-1 since trading for him, with the 29-year-old wideout emerging as Trevor Lawrence's favorite target. Brian Thomas Jr.'s return in Week 13 hasn't slowed Meyers down, as he's compiled 16 targets in the past two weeks. Meyers should remain productive on Sunday against a New York Jets defense that has struggled all season. Fantasy managers can confidently fire him up as a solid WR2 option in Week 15.

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange should lean on a lackluster Jets defense in Week 15 and return to the top end of the TE leaderboard. The 6-foot-4 Strange was the half-PPR TE5 in both Weeks 12 and 13 after missing five games due to a hip injury, but faltered with only 5.7 points last week, coming up just short of a touchdown. Strange would see six targets on the day, matching his average opportunity in '25. In fact, over the last three weeks, his 165 yards are fifth-best among TEs, and no other TE in the top 12 has an average depth of target above 10 in that span (his is 10.2). The Jets have tightened up on defense against the position lately, yet the seven TDs allowed to TEs is still a bottom-10 mark. Few others can boast a healthy red-zone role and a downfield presence for fantasy managers, making Strange a deserving top-10 option at TE.

Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Cam Little is itching to show off that big leg of his in a Week 15 date with a vulnerable Jets defense and perfect weather on tap. The 22-year-old kicker has only missed one extra point this year (and his two-year career), and no distance is too great for the current NFL record-holder for longest field goal. Little and the Jaguars are favored by nearly 14 points across the board against the Jets, who have allowed 28 field goals thus far. Only Baltimore has allowed more field goals this year. The forecast is set for about 70 degrees with clear skies and unremarkable wind, so we've got Little ranked comfortably in RotoBaller's top-10 at kicker. One of the biggest threats is that Little only gets chances to kick XPs in a tilted affair!

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington (hip) was upgraded from a pair of limited practices to full on Friday, resulting in a questionable designation with a decent chance to return to play in Week 15 against the Jets. We've yet to see what a full game's output from Washington looks like with both Brian Thomas Jr. and Jakobi Meyers on the field, but he should leapfrog Tim Patrick for No. 3 WR duties. It is possible that Patrick, who posted a strong 5-78-1 receiving line last week, doesn't just totally fade, and Washington also poses a re-injury risk. Even in a game the Jags could win by 40, Washington is very difficult to trust in a week where many of you are either opening your fantasy playoffs or fighting for a final berth. He's a deep-league, touchdown-dependent dart throw slotted around RotoBaller's WR70 mark.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. is poised to rebuild some fantasy football trust in this final month after an arduous campaign filled with drops and injuries. Last week, BTJ gained ground with three catches for 87 yards on six targets that compiled a whopping 148 air yards. Both he and Jakobi Meyers led the way with 29 routes run, with Tim Patrick playing the No. 3 role that Parker Washington (hip) had vacated. With Trevor Lawrence pushing the ball more aggressively over the last month and Jacksonville in a position to snowball the score against the Jets, Thomas could finally smash if those air yards are translated into the box score. His spot around WR30 in our ranks is due to the roller-coaster ride we've endured to date, but those needing to aim for high-risk, high-reward output should deploy Thomas.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers is looking to score a touchdown in his fourth straight game with a robust matchup against the Jets. Meyers is fully integrated into the offense following the midseason trade from Las Vegas, clearing an 80% snap count in each of his last three games. The return of Brian Thomas Jr. to the field didn't cut into his role either, as Meyers just logged 10 targets last week. The Jets' opponents don't often log high passing volume, but they allow a top-10 touchdown rate with zero interceptions and a bottom-three QB hit tally. Fantasy managers can be encouraged by the low pressure and a consolidated target share at the top of Jacksonville's food chain, which all comes together to make Meyers a top-20 WR in RotoBaller's Week 15 rankings.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten has had a disappointing few weeks after a season-high 74 rushing yards in Week 11, but hope springs eternal this weekend thanks to a date with the Jets' generous rush defense. Pessimists will point to Tuten's failure to crack 20 total yards in each of the last three games, while optimists can hang their hat on how complementary backs have fared against the Jets lately. Both Jaylen Wright and Ollie Gordon II scored last week, while Tyler Allgeier found paydirt the week before that, and all after the elite starters had scored themselves. It's been a few weeks since Tuten has appeared on Jacksonville's injury report with an ankle issue, so we must assume he's in a position to capitalize here. There's no skirting the low floor that he's shown in recent games, but Tuten's potential ceiling in a game that Jacksonville could run away with makes for a mighty double-edged sword for those needing a flex play to wield.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. is in a prime spot to tally his sixth top-12 half-PPR finish in seven games and propel fantasy managers down the stretch. We've lost the early-season efficiency seen back in the first month of play, but steady volume on an offense averaging 30 points per game since Week 8 will suffice. His outlook is further bolstered by Bhayshul Tuten's poor recent form (2.3 yards per carry over the last three games) and drawing a top-five matchup against the Jets. Gang Green has surrendered rush TDs to everyone lately, including three different Miami RBs last week. The Jets are set to start third-stringer Brady Cook at quarterback, which has the Jags favored by roughly two TDs across all major sportsbooks. Etienne rosters should enjoy several scoring chances throughout the contests due to a positive gamescript and the advantageous matchup. As a result, Etienne is locked in as a top-10 option at the position per our ranks at RotoBaller.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence enters the Week 15 fantasy slate with a friendly home matchup with the Jets. The Clemson alum has scored multiple touchdowns in four straight contests since Liam Coen instructed him to "let it rip," while also being turnover-free in his last two efforts. He's shown a particularly strong rapport with newcomer Jakobi Meyers, tossing a TD in three consecutive games to the 29-year-old wideout. Though the Jets have done well to limit opposing QBs to three combined TDs over four games, they've forced a league-low two turnovers all year (zero interceptions). Lawrence opened the week with an ankle injury designation and a limited practice on Wednesday, but has gotten in full sessions on Thursday and Friday. The rushing potential should be there alongside the improved passing on Sunday, planting him near the top-10 QBs in our RotoBaller ranks for the week.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (ankle) was limited by an ankle injury earlier this week, but he practiced in full on Friday and has been removed from the Week 15 injury report. Lawrence will be active this Sunday when the New York Jets come to town. The 26-year-old former first overall pick is just outside the top 10 at the QB position in overall fantasy points this year, but he profiles as a low-end QB1 option in the first week of the fantasy playoffs in most leagues with a juicy matchup against the Jets. The Jags may not end up having to throw the ball all that much on Sunday, but Lawrence has been more productive in recent weeks, throwing for at least two TDs in each of the last three games with at least 229 passing yards. At the very least, Lawrence will be a viable streaming option for fantasy managers in need at the position in Week 15. During Jacksonville's current four-game winning streak, Lawrence has completed 59.6% of his passes for 882 yards, eight TDs, and four picks while adding 79 rushing yards and a touchdown on the ground.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington (hip) is officially listed as questionable ahead of the Week 15 matchup against the New York Jets. Washington was limited in practice during the first two sessions but was upgraded to a full participant on Friday. Washington appears to be trending in the right direction to make his return this weekend after sitting out last week's win over the Indianapolis Colts. If active, Washington will likely take a back seat as the WR3 for the Jags with Brian Thomas Jr. healthy now. Jakobi Meyers has been seeing more involvement with six targets or more in four straight games since being acquired from the Raiders at the trade deadline. Washington should be viewed as a low-end WR4/flex option for this weekend (if he plays) in a game in which the Jags probably won't have to throw the ball all that much. If he's out again, Tim Patrick will see WR3 duties for the second straight week.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (ankle) upgraded to a full participant in practice on Thursday. He had been limited on Wednesday. The 26-year-old should play in Sunday's Week 15 contest against the New York Jets, barring any sort of setback during practice on Friday. Lawrence has played very clean football lately, amassing 473 passing yards, 41 rushing yards, four touchdowns, and zero turnovers over his last two games. He is the overall QB12 in fantasy football scoring this season and is a worthy starter in deeper leagues this week. The Jets have allowed the 14th-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks this year, and they're the only defense that has not intercepted a pass yet this season.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington (hip) was listed as limited in Thursday's practice for the second straight day this week. Washington suffered a hip injury in Week 13 and did not play in last week's win over the Indianapolis Colts. The 23-year-old will probably need to upgrade to a full practice on Friday to avoid either a questionable tag or being ruled out entirely for the second straight week when the team faces the visiting New York Jets this Sunday. Now that Brian Thomas Jr. is back from a sprained ankle, Washington profiles as Jacksonville's WR3. When he returns, he'll also have to contend with tight end Brenton Strange, who has been a big part of the passing attack since coming off Injured Reserve. If Washington is back in Week 15, fantasy managers should have better WR4/flex options. Competition for targets will be stiff for Washington, and they are in a matchup that probably won't force them to throw the ball all that often.
