Laviska Shenault Jr. Fantasy

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. (shoulder), who suffered a shoulder injury in the Week 2 loss to the Denver Broncos, is expected to be able to play in Week 3 against the Arizona Cardinals, according to head coach Urban Meyer. Shenault is expected to practice this week, so unless he suffers a setback with his shoulder, he should be good to go for Week 3. However, before his injury on Sunday, the 22-year-old had only two catches for minus-three yards on seven targets. Through the first two weeks, Shenault has just nine catches on 17 targets for 47 yards. Marvin Jones Jr. was the only receiver for the Jags that was productive in the loss to Denver. Jacksonville will be throwing a lot in 2021, but with rookie quarterback Trevor Lawrence going through growing pains, this receiving corps will be shaky on a weekly basis.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. (shoulder) will undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of a shoulder injury suffered during the loss to the Denver Broncos. The 22-year-old had a horrendous showing in Week 2 despite getting seven looks from rookie signal-caller Trevor Lawrence, finishing with only two catches for negative yardage. This is an unfortunate turn of events for the sophomore wideout, who started off the year with a bang by racking up 50 yards off seven receptions in Week 1. Hopefully, he avoided serious injury, but if he didn't, Marvin Jones Jr. would certainly get some attention in both redraft and DFS formats in Week 3.

Jacksonville Jaguars second-year wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. is a solid WR3/4 or flex option at home against the Denver Broncos in Week 2. Shenault had seven catches and 50 yards in Week 1 against the Texans on nine targets, though his 3.1 aDOt was extremely low. If the second-year wideout continues to operate that close to the line of scrimmage he's likely to be the most consistent wide receiver on the team while sacrificing upside. Shenault projects to match up with Bryce Callahan on Sunday, who is one of the better slot corners in the NFL, but he's still very capable of catching seven-plus passes and he projects as a safe, high-floor PPR play.
