Jamal Agnew Fantasy

The Jacksonville Jaguars signed free-agent wide receiver/kick returner Jamal Agnew to a three-year deal worth up to $21 million on Monday, according to a source. Agnew was the Detroit Lions return man for the last four seasons and earned All-Pro honors as a rookie in 2017. He was a fifth-round pick out of the University of San Diego and was the league's best punt returner in 2017, averaging 15.4 yards per attempt with two touchdowns. Agnew remains one of the NFL's best special teams return men, scoring five total touchdowns, including a 74-yard punt return in 2020. As a receiver in Detroit's offense last year, Agnew had 13 catches for 89 yards and also carried the ball six times for 33 yards. The 25-year-old won't be fantasy relevant in his new home in Jacksonville.

The Detroit Lions will be without starting safety Tracy Walker (foot) and All-Pro kick returner Jamal Agnew (ribs) in Week 9 against the division-rival Vikings. Walker played in every snap last Sunday against the Colts but showed up with a foot injury and didn't practice all week. Some combination of Will Harris and Jayron Kearse could fill Walker's role this weekend. Receivers Marvin Hall and Danny Amendola could replace Agnew as the kick returner against Minnesota. The good news is that Detroit's defense will get back cornerback Desmond Trufant (hamstring), who missed the last three games. Defensive end Trey Flowers was placed on Injured Reserve on Monday. Detroit's defense should be avoided against the Vikings in fantasy.
