Jacksonville Jaguars News

Across 12 games played in 2025, Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange hauled in 46 receptions for 540 yards and three touchdowns on 60 targets. The 25-year-old ended the regular season strong, recording 14 catches for 145 yards and two touchdowns on 18 targets over his last three contests. Strange may not offer tremendous production upside, but he has established himself as a low-risk tight end option for fantasy managers. Strange recorded at least 9.9 PPR fantasy points in seven out of the 12 games he was active for this season. The Jaguars will host the Buffalo Bills in the first round of the AFC playoffs on Sunday. Buffalo's pass defense has been one of the strongest in the NFL this season, allowing the fewest total passing yards (2,894) of any unit. Still, given his projectable role, Strange profiles as a solid TE1 option for fantasy managers in playoff leagues.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. had a disappointing year relative to preseason expectations in 2025, recording 48 receptions for 707 yards and two touchdowns on 91 targets across 14 games played. Down the stretch of the regular season, Thomas Jr. appeared to slide down the pass-catcher pecking order in Jacksonville. The 23-year-old recorded just nine catches for 106 yards and zero touchdowns on 15 targets over his final three contests. Thomas Jr. also played fewer than 80% of Jacksonville's offensive snaps in five out of his team's six final games. The Jaguars are now set to face the Buffalo Bills in the first round of the AFC playoffs. In the regular season, Buffalo allowed the fewest passing yards (2,894) of any defense in the NFL. Fantasy managers in playoff leagues may find Thomas Jr. tough to trust given his difficult matchup and diminished role in Jacksonville.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers has been a strong addition to their wideout group this season. Meyers got off to a slow start with the Las Vegas Raiders, but he turned it around quickly in Jacksonville. The 29-year-old finished with nearly 500 yards during his nine games with his new team. The Jags clearly view Meyers as part of the future, with the two sides already agreeing on a long-term deal. The job isn't done yet, though, as Meyers will head into a tough matchup against the Buffalo Bills' defense during the Wild-Card round this Sunday. The Bills' defense has been elite in terms of yards allowed to wideouts this season. Targets should be there, with Meyers seeing six or more targets in eight straight games. The Bills' defense will likely limit his upside to more of the WR3 range in fantasy football.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. struggled to find much success on the ground during the regular-season finale. He rushed 14 times for 32 yards in the blowout win over the Tennessee Titans. It was an ugly performance, but it has been a strong season for Etienne so far. He rushed for 1,107 yards on 260 attempts with seven touchdowns in 17 games. The 26-year-old now heads into a plus matchup against the Buffalo Bills' defense for the Wild-Card round of the playoffs. He'll go against a Bills defense that is near the bottom of the league in terms of rushing yards allowed this season. The Bills' defensive unit has allowed an average of 5.1 yards per carry to running backs this season. Etienne is looking like a strong bounce-back candidate for this weekend.

Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Parker Washington continues to dazzle of late, hauling in five of his nine targets in Week 18 for 87 yards and a touchdown. That now makes it three consecutive weeks that Washington has led the Jaguars in targets, and the second time he has scored in the past three weeks. Over the past three weeks, he has seen 29 targets, caught 19 of them, and has racked up 347 receiving yards. With quarterback Trevor Lawrence playing some of the best football of his career, Washington has stood out in a crowded, expansive receiver room that includes Jakobi Meyers, Brian Thomas Jr., and tight end Brenton Strange. The Jaguars just capped off a 2025 regular season, finishing 13-4 and winning the AFC South. Washington finished the regular season with 58 receptions, 847 yards, and five touchdowns, with a lot of his production coming in the past few weeks and when Thomas Jr. missed time earlier in the season.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence completed 22 of his 30 pass attempts for 255 passing yards, three passing touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 18 win over the Tennessee Titans. He also rushed for 11 yards and took two sacks. Lawrence put together another terrific outing as the Jaguars cruised to victory, clinching the AFC South title. The former No. 1 pick was pulled from the game early in the fourth quarter so that he could stay healthy for the playoffs, and he handed the reins of the offense to Nick Mullens. Lawrence has been spectacular all season long, especially over the last six weeks. Through his final six regular-season games, he amassed 1,600 passing yards, 15 passing touchdowns, 149 rushing yards, four rushing touchdowns, and just one turnover. He's firmly in the mix to be a top-five quarterback in 2026 fantasy drafts.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. (head) is being evaluated for a concussion during his team's Week 18 matchup against the Tennessee Titans, per ESPN's Michael DiRocco. The 23-year-old recorded one catch for 22 yards on two targets before exiting the game. Jacksonville has a spot in the AFC playoffs locked up, so the team may proceed with caution, even if Thomas Jr. can avoid a concussion diagnosis. If Thomas Jr. is unable to return, Jaguars wideouts Jakobi Meyers and Parker Washington could see an increase in target share, while wide receivers Tim Patrick and Dyami Brown would likely see more playing time.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers turned his season around following a mid-year trade from the Las Vegas Raiders. He posted double-digit fantasy points (full-PPR) in five of his first six games with the Jaguars, and he has at least eight points in each of his last seven contests. Since joining the Jaguars, he ranks as the overall WR16 in fantasy football. Meyers has clearly benefited from a high-volume role in Jacksonville's strong offense. This is a unit that is capable of moving the ball down the field, and Trevor Lawrence has distributed the ball well enough to support many different fantasy-relevant performances. For example, while Meyers has been the Jaguars' most consistent receiver since his trade, Parker Washington has been explosive in the last two weeks, and Brian Thomas Jr. and Brenton Strange have both played well. Meyers should feast in Week 18 against the Tennessee Titans, whose pass defense has been very disappointing this season. Tennessee has allowed the fourth-most receiving yards and fifth-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers in 2025. In his last game against the Titans, Meyers caught six passes for 90 yards and a touchdown. We wouldn't be surprised to see the 29-year-old enjoy similar success on Sunday, and we expect him to handle a heavy workload because Jacksonville is still fighting for the No. 1 seed in the AFC. As it stands, Meyers ranks as the overall WR21 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy football rankings for Week 18.

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange has been a reliable piece of the offense all season, recording 40 catches (54 targets) for 488 yards and two touchdowns in 11 games. Both of those scores have come since he was activated off Injured Reserve in Week 12, and he's recorded at least three receptions in five of six games during that time. The 25-year-old tight end will look to finish out the season strong in Week 18 against the Tennessee Titans, who have allowed the 15th most PPR points per game to tight ends this season. Strange caught his first touchdown of the season in Jacksonville's first meeting versus the Titans in Week 13 and will look for a repeat performance as the Jaguars aim to lock down a division title.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. is the RB9 in Half-PPR formats after posting his third 1,000-yard season in four years, and he is a must-start for fantasy managers still competing into the final week of the season. The Jaguars can lock up the AFC South and a home playoff game with a win on Sunday against the Titans, with the AFC's number one seed also still in play, even if unlikely. With meaningful stakes on the line and a plus matchup against Tennessee's bottom-10 run defense, Etienne should be involved early and often, and if he is rested late in the game, things will have likely gone well for Jacksonville's offense. Etienne is RotoBaller's RB6 for the week.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence is in the midst of the best stretch of his career. Over the past five games, the 26-year-old signal caller has completed 61.1% of his passes for 1,345 yards, 12 touchdowns, and one interception with a 109.7 passer rating while adding 26 carries for 138 yards and four touchdowns on the ground. He's totalled 138.6 fantasy points during that time, by far the most in the league, with Brock Purdy being next closest at 115.1. Lawrence has run for a touchdown in three straight games, including two last week in Indianapolis, and projects favorably again in a soft Week 18 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. Lawrence is ranked as RotoBaller's QB2 for the regular season finale.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. has been one of the more disappointing players in fantasy football in 2025, recording 45 catches for 658 yards and two touchdowns on 86 targets across 13 games. The 23-year-old remains a key piece of his team's offense, as he's earned at least six targets in three out of his last four games. However, Thomas Jr. has struggled to turn his opportunities into consistent production, recording just six catches for 57 yards over the last two weeks. In Week 18, Thomas Jr. will get a favorable matchup against the Tennessee Titans. Entering the week, Tennessee ranks 25th among NFL defenses in total passing yards allowed (3,950) and tied for 21st in passing touchdowns allowed (27). Perhaps most importantly for Thomas Jr. and his role as a downfield receiver, Tennessee has allowed 54 pass plays of 20 or more yards across 16 games in 2025. Given the big-play opportunity and the favorable matchup overall, Thomas Jr. profiles as a low-end fantasy WR2 in Week 18.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington has enjoyed a breakout season in his third year in the league, catching 53 of 87 targets for 760 yards and four touchdowns. The 23-year-old wideout has produced his two best performances of the season in the last two weeks, posting a 6-145-1 line on 10 targets in Week 16 against the vaunted Broncos defense before following it up with eight catches for 115 yards on 10 targets last week in Indianapolis. His 260 yards during that span are third in the league, only trailing Chris Olave (267) and Puka Nacua (272). While the Jaguars have multiple pass-catchers capable of producing big games, Washington has established a solid floor and should be in line for another productive game in the regular-season finale against a Titans defense that has allowed the seventh-most PPR points per game to wide receivers.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have signed offensive lineman Cole Van Lanen to a long-term extension on Friday. The two sides have agreed on a three-year, $51 million deal, which includes $32.5 million in guaranteed money. The fifth-year lineman has earned a new deal after posting a 75.9 PFF pass-blocking grade and 78.9 PFF run-blocking grade, which both lead the team. Van Lanen has moved all over the place this season, seeing time at every position on the offensive line besides center. The 27-year-old is a former sixth-round pick of the Green Bay Packers in 2021. He was traded to Jacksonville in 2022 and has now become a significant factor on this offensive line.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Bhayshul Tuten (finger) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's Week 18 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. Tuten has missed back-to-back games because of his finger injury, but he is ready to return this weekend. The rookie back figures to resume his role as the primary backup to Travis Etienne Jr. in the backfield. The Jaguars can clinch the AFC South title with a win over the Titans this weekend or a loss by the Houston Texans. That means the Jags should play their starters during this regular-season finale. Tuten should see a handful of carries as he returns from injury, but it's unlikely to be enough to warrant streaming him.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington posted another fantastic performance in Week 17, notching his second straight 10-target, 100-plus-yard game as the Jaguars defeated the Indianapolis Colts 23-17. Over the past two games, Washington has hauled in 14 of his 20 targets for 260 yards and a touchdown, and over this span, he has emerged as the go-to target for quarterback Trevor Lawrence and is a must-add for fantasy managers still competing in Week 18. Washington has proved throughout the season that he can provide fantasy value with other receivers injured or not playing. Still, even with everyone healthy and a lot of mouths to feed, such as Brian Thomas Jr., Jakobi Meyers, Brenton Strange, and Washington, it appears Washington has moved ahead in the pecking order of late. The biggest beneficiary of all these weapons is Lawrence, who has been playing the best football of his career of late. Week 18 should also present a good matchup against the struggling Tennessee Titans.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington posted another superb performance in Week 17, notching back-to-back ten-target, 100-plus-yard outings as the team beat out their division-rival Colts 23-17. Jacksonville has been on a roll, and the Penn State alum has been a big part of it, leading his squad in receiving in consecutive games. Moreover, Washington ranked second at his position in snaps on Sunday, eking out teammate Brian Thomas Jr. 56-54, with only Jakobi Meyers playing ahead of him (65). While it's unclear if this signals an official change in the Jags' passing game hierarchy, fantasy managers should scoop up the 23-year-old anywhere he's unowned, as it appears he'll remain heavily involved despite the corps being at full strength. He's set career-highs across the board in 2025.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington functioned as his team's No. 1 pass-catcher in Week 17, recording eight catches for 115 yards on 10 targets in a 23-17 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Washington has now recorded double-digit targets and topped 100 receiving yards in back-to-back weeks. Across 15 games this season, the 23-year-old has hauled in 53 receptions for 760 yards and four touchdowns on 86 targets. While the Jaguars have multiple capable offensive weapons worthy of touches, Washington has proven the ability to play a significant role in his team's offense. He's now logged four games with at least 10 targets and five games with at least 70 receiving yards in 2025. Washington profiles as a flex option with upside for fantasy managers heading into his Week 18 matchup against the Tennessee Titans.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence saw his five-game streak with multiple passing touchdowns come to an end on Sunday. Lawrence didn't have great success through the air, but he was still able to get the job done versus the Indianapolis Colts on the road to put the team one win away from locking down the AFC South division. He completed 23 of 37 passing attempts for 263 yards with no touchdowns and one interception. Lawrence was able to salvage his fantasy value with two rushing touchdowns and 26 additional yards on the ground. He'll continue to be a strong QB1 option for fantasy managers heading into next week's contest against the division-rival Tennessee Titans. The Jags could clinch the AFC South with a win or a Houston Texans loss to the Colts.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten (finger) has been downgraded from questionable to out for his team's Week 17 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Tuten was a limited practice participant all week, but he will end up missing his second straight game due to a finger injury. Before getting hurt, the 22-year-old had recorded 284 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 78 carries across 14 games while playing the RB2 role in Jacksonville behind veteran back Travis Etienne Jr. With Tuten sidelined in Week 16, Etienne Jr. logged 20 touches and played 70% of the Jaguars' offensive snaps against the Denver Broncos. Rookie back LeQuint Allen Jr. recorded four touches against the Broncos and appears likely to handle RB2 duties for the second straight week against Indianapolis.
