Brenton Strange Remains a Solid Streaming Tight End

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange had a down week in Week 15, recording just one catch for 26 yards on three targets against the New York Jets. However, the 24-year-old had earned 15 targets over his last three games heading into Week 15. Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence is playing some of his best football in recent weeks, throwing for 1,059 passing yards and 12 touchdowns over his last four outings. With the Jacksonville passing game finding its groove, Strange should have opportunities for high-value targets every week. The Jaguars have a difficult matchup in Week 16 against the Denver Broncos before a more favorable matchup in Week 17 against the Indianapolis Colts. For fantasy managers in leagues with 12 or more teams in need of help at the tight end position, Strange could be a solid streaming option to target on the waiver wire.

LeQuint Allen Jr. on the Fantasy Radar for Week 16

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back LeQuint Allen Jr. hasn't played a significant role this season behind Travis Etienne Jr. and fellow rookie Bhayshul Tuten, but he is likely to see an uptick in snaps with Tuten set to miss a few weeks with a finger injury that will require surgery. Allen handled five touches for 16 yards in the Week 15 blowout win over the New York Jets, his most since Week 11. The rookie seventh-rounder will step into the RB2 role behind Etienne and becomes an interesting deep-league option heading into the Week 16 game against the Denver Broncos on the road. His appeal is limited to deep leagues only, but he could have some standalone value with more touches likely coming his way.

Trevor Lawrence Due for a Letdown Following Six-Touchdown Performance?

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence is one of the hottest QBs in the league when it matters most for fantasy football managers. Lawrence took advantage of a great matchup against a bad New York Jets defense in Week 15 to go 20-for-32 passing for a season-high 330 yards and five passing touchdowns on Sunday. He added five carries for 51 yards on the ground and a sixth touchdown on the day. Since Week 12, Lawrence has thrown for 1,059 yards, 12 touchdowns, and three interceptions on 119 pass attempts while running for 121 yards and another TD on 17 attempts. In the last five weeks, he's been the QB6 in overall fantasy points as he finally starts to click in head coach Liam Coen's offense. The addition of receiver Jakobi Meyers at the trade deadline has also helped Lawrence. The 26-year-old has become a popular waiver-wire pickup over this stretch. However, he could quickly come back down to Earth with a poor Week 16 matchup on the road in Denver against a strong Broncos defense.

Bhayshul Tuten to Miss a Few Weeks With Finger Injury

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Bhayshul Tuten (finger) will have surgery to fix a finger injury that he suffered in Sunday's blowout win over the New York Jets, sources told Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. Tuten will miss a few weeks but should be back for the playoffs. There are only three games remaining in the regular season, so the Jags might shut Tuten down until the start of the postseason. The 22-year-old fourth-round selection has been a nice, explosive complement in Jacksonville's backfield this season next to starter Travis Etienne Jr., carrying the ball 78 times for 284 yards (3.6 yards per tote) and four rushing touchdowns, adding 10 catches for 79 yards and two more scores in 14 games. Tuten touched the ball only twice on Sunday, but one of those touches resulted in a one-yard TD reception. Fellow rookie LeQuint Allen Jr. will serve in the RB2 role for the Jags behind Etienne for however long Tuten is sidelined.

Travis Etienne Jr. Records Three Receiving Touchdowns in Week 15 Win

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.

Trevor Lawrence Erupts for Six Total Touchdowns in Week 15 Blowout

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.

Parker Washington Returning Against Jets on Sunday

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.

Brian Thomas Jr. • WR • Jaguars

Brian Thomas Jr. Trending Toward a Bigger 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.

Jakobi Meyers Should Continue to Succeed

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.

Parker Washington Losing Out to New Teammate?

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.

Brenton Strange Declining in Jags' Passing Game

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.

Jakobi Meyers Becoming Go-To Option in Jacksonville

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.

Brenton Strange Carries Promising Role into Jets Matchup

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.

Cam Little Set as Top-10 Option Against Jets

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!

Parker Washington an Unreliable Fantasy Factor in Week 15

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.

Brian Thomas Jr. Brings High Ceiling to Table in Week 15

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.

Jakobi Meyers Poised to Keep Touchdown Streak Going

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.

Bhayshul Tuten • RB • Jaguars

Bhayshul Tuten a Volatile Flex Play With Great Matchup

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.

Travis Etienne Jr. a Stellar Week 15 Play

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.

Trevor Lawrence Boasts Top-10 Upside For Week 15

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.
