Jackson was escorted to the locker room with the team training staff with under one minute remaining to play in the second quarter. He appeared to have his back checked out on the sideline before departing the field of play. The team immediately deemed him questionable to return. Tyler Huntley would be the next man up for the remainder of the game should Jackson be unable to return. Jackson completed 7-of-10 passes for 101 yards prior departing, adding seven yards on two carries.

Thomas was an afterthought in this one, as Parker Washington led the Jaguars in targets, receiving yards, and air yards. Thomas, again showing no chemistry with Trevor Lawrence, was targeted on 6 percent of his pass routes, losing the air yards-heavy role he had seen over the previous three games. He still has just two touchdowns in 2025. Thomas will be a touchdown or big play-dependent WR3/4 play in Week 17 against the Colts.

Engram didn’t do much against his former team. He ran a pass route on 27 of the Broncos’ 51 drop backs and outside of a 33-yard reception in the first quarter, he was largely invisible in a game that saw Bo Nix throw 47 passes. Engram, who has more than four receptions in just three games this season, will be a deep league option in Week 17 against the Chiefs.

Harvey got there for fantasy managers against an elite Denver defense. He accounted for seven of the team’s 12 running back rushing attempts and was tied for third on the team with five targets. Harvey logged a pass route on 26 of Bo Nix’s 51 drop backs, a relatively strong rate, especially considering Harvey was targeted on a healthy 23 percent of his routes. Harvey’s biggest play came on a 38-yard touchdown rush in which he shed a couple tacklers and sprinted past Denver defenders. Harvey’s workload is strong enough to make him a must-play RB2 option in Week 17 against the Chiefs.

With Bhayshul Tuten (finger) done for the rest of the season, Etienne saw an uptick in usage against Denver. He accounted for 16 of the Jaguars backfield’s 20 running back carries and all four of the team’s running backs targets while running a pass route on 26 of Trevor Lawrence’s 46 drop backs. LeQuint Allen did see an inside-the-five rush, however, raising concerns about Etienne’s goal line role in Week 17. Etienne’s receiving touchdown was his fourth over the past two games. That can’t last, but his involvement in the pass game means Etienne won’t be sensitive to game script moving forward.

The only thing anyone will remember about this game regarding Metcalf is his altercation with a Lions fan at the end of the first half. Metcalf was spotted near the stands jawing with the fan. He then threw a punch at the fan’s face, though the blow appeared to miss. Either way, we’re expecting a suspension for Metcalf. The only question is how long the NFL will put him on ice for. No matter what, fantasy managers should plan on being without him for the championship round next week.

Lawrence stayed red hot against a stout Denver defense. He now has ten total touchdowns over his past two games in a Jacksonville offense that’s running roughshod through all opponents. Lawrence completed the easy throws against the Broncos and fit tough throws into tight windows. He found Parker Washington for six catches, 145 yards, and a score as Washington found himself wide open several times in the second half. Lawrence also connected with Brenton Strange and Travis Etienne for short touchdowns. With head coach and play caller Liam Coen on a heater, look for Lawrence to once again be an elite option in Week 17 against the Colts.

Well, well, well, if it isn’t the consequences of your benching actions. Jeanty wasn’t so involved in the passing game, but he did split out wide and toast Texans linebacker Henry To’oTo’o down the sideline. He added a 51-yard rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter to pull the Raiders within two, and generally was getting more space than he had all week. Concerning stuff for the Texans’ rush defense, down a few players in the interior and Azeez Al-Shaair. The Giants make Jeanty an instant no-thought start in Week 17 anyway, but especially after this game, you’ll be firing him up.

Sutton led the Broncos in all receiving categories as he has re-established himself as Bo Nix’s top target over the past few weeks. He now has three touchdown receptions over his past four games (and nearly came down with a second score on Sunday). Against the Jaguars, Sutton had a whopping 223 air yards and a 27 percent target share. Coming off his second 100-yard game of the 2025 season in Week 15, Sutton once again profiles as a locked-in WR2 in 12-team leagues. He’ll be a must-play in Week 17 against the Chiefs.
