Yannick Ngakoue Fantasy

Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Yannick Ngakoue (hamstring) returned to a full practice on Tuesday after being limited on Monday. Jacksonville's best pass rusher should be able to return on Thursday against the Titans after being inactive in the Week 2 loss to the Texans. The Jaguars Defense/special teams is a low-end starting option for this week against a Tennessee unit that mostly runs the ball and rarely puts up a ton of points on the board. It could also be the Jags last game with shutdown cornerback Jalen Ramsey on the roster.

Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Yannick Ngakoue (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 2 against the Texans. Head coach Doug Marrone also said he doesn't think cornerback A.J. Bouye (hip) will play. Ngakoue was one of Jacksonville's most consistent edge rushers in 2018, so his loss is bad news for their defensive unit, although Houston's porous offensive line will likely still present them with decent sack opportunities. Texans QB Deshaun Watson was sacked more than any other signal-caller last year. Still, it puts the Jaguars Defense as more of a low-end fantasy unit this Sunday.

Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Yannick Ngakoue has reported to camp, ending his holdout. Ngakoue was in search of a better contract situation after collecting 29.5 sacks and 10 forced fumbles over his first three years in the NFL. Ngakoue is a vital part of the Jaguars defense, so his return is good news for anyone who was counting on Jacksonville to be one of the NFL's top fantasy D/STs again this year. On an individual level, Ngakoue sa a drop in sacks last year and didn't force any fumbles after leading the league in that stat in 2017, but he's still a strong IDP option because of his upside.
