Laviska Shenault Jr. Fantasy

The Jacksonville Jaguars signed second-round wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. to his rookie deal on Thursday. When fully healthy, Shenault can end up being one of the most explosive receivers in a stacked class at the position. Shenault played at Colorado and was the 42nd overall pick in the draft. He was twice an All-Pac 12 player and is expected to make an immediate impact in Jacksonville's passing attack in 2020. The 21-year-old is versatile and could fill a variety of offensive roles with the Jags right away, but that typically hurts the development of young players like Shenault. He does have injury concerns and will have one of the weaker QBs in the NFL throwing to him, Shenault can put up big numbers if he's given the opportunity. Consider him a late-round flier in redraft leagues with DJ Chark Jr. and Dede Westbrook ahead of him.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr., taken 42nd overall in the second round of the draft, aligned out wide on 107 snaps, in the slot on 75 snaps and in the backfield on 27 snaps at Colorado last year, per Pro Football Focus. Shenault had the most yards after the catch (1,060) among Pac-12 receivers since 2018. His versatility and physicality on the football field give him a lot of upside in the NFL, but he's also coming off core muscle surgery, so it's unclear how healthy he'll be in training camp and the preseason. The 21-year-old figures to rotate in with Chris Conley in three-receiver sets in his rookie season. In a run-first offense with Gardner Minshew II at the helm, Shenault doesn't project for huge Year 1 production.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have selected Colorado wide receiver Laviska Shenaultwith the No. 42 selection in the second round. He's put together back-to-back solid campaigns out of Colorado. Shenault finished with 56 receptions, 764 receiving yards, and four touchdowns through 11 games last season. There are some injury concerns here, but Shenault has great upside. He's ridiculously fast and is someone who is incredible in the open field. The Jaguars don't have much depth at wide receiver, so Shenault should immediately slide into a starting role on the team in 2020.
