    Jaguars HC Liam Coen said he “fully anticipates” more snaps for LeQuin Allen on third down.

    Allen played on just one offensive snap in last week’s win over the Browns, but led the Jaguars in third-down snaps (146) last season. Despite all the snaps he saw on third down as a rookie, Allen never materialized into a viable fantasy option. Whether or not that changes this season is to be determined, but any additional snaps he receives on third down would come at the expense of Bhayshul Tuten and Chris Rodriguez, after Rodriguez led the way with five third-down snaps last week. While Allen seeing additional work in these situations could be problematic for fantasy managers, they shouldn’t let that deter them from starting Tuten in Week 2 against the Broncos.

    Meyers should be good to go for his team’s Week 2 game against the Broncos. He caught 2-of-2 targets for 40 yards and one touchdown in Week 1 against the Browns, and can be expected to play efficiently again in Week 2, albeit on a potentially stunted workload. The Jaguars field a deep wide receiver corps. Jaguars RB LeQuint Allen (hip) remained limited as well.
  • JAC Wide Receiver #3
    LeQuint Allen (hip) was also limited. Both Jags played through their injuries in Week 2, so the limited designations in practice are simply maintenance. Meyers led the team in routes last week and found the end zone on one of his two targets. He will be a fantasy WR4 for Week 2.
  • JAC Running Back #20
    Abdullah rotated into the game as the Jaguars’ third running back, showing some burst with 32 yards on four carries. He won’t see enough opportunities to reach fantasy relevancy but will mix in to spell Bhayshul Tuten and Chris Rodriguez. LeQuint Allen was active but coming off a hip injury, seeing just one snap on the day. As Allen gets healthier, Abdullah could see less opportunities, though neither would be fantasy relevant barring a Tuten or Rodriguez injury.
  • JAC Running Back #24
    Rodriguez was the Jaguars’ second running back in the game, but equaled Bhayshul Tuten’s touches on the first drive. He was used both in the red zone and short-yardage situations early on; Rodriguez tied for the lead in backfield snaps in the first half. The game was out of reach in the second half, with Ameer Abdullah taking on garbage time carries and Rodriguez finishing the game second in backfield snaps. Fantasy managers will like the high-leverage utilization but a lack of receiving upside caps Rodriguez’ ceiling. He is firmly in the RB4 range for Week 2 against the Broncos.
  • JAC Running Back #33
    Tuten started the game for the Jaguars, getting the first two carries of the game. His utilization was mixed, tying Chris Rodriguez for snaps in the first half. Tuten was rotated out for early red zone and short-yardage snaps, though he saw some of those opportunities later in the game. He held up well in pass-protection and took a screen pass 22 yards for his first reception. With the game out of hand in the second half, Tuten ultimately saw the highest snaps out of the backfield, tallying 28 on the day. He showed good burst and the ability to fight through contact, but Rodriguez will continue to be a thorn in his side for utilization. Tuten profiles as a high-end RB3 for Week 2 against the Broncos.
  • JAC Running Back #5
    Allen entered the weekend questionable with a hip injury. With some limited practices leading up to gameday, Allen is declared active and should be involved on passing downs for the Jaguars. His potential receiving role dampens Bhayshul Tuten’s upside against the Browns. Jaguars declared QB Quinn Ewers, OL Daniel Faalele, S Jalen Huskey, TE Tanner Koziol, DE Bryan Thomas Jr., and DE Wesley Williams inactive for Week 1 against the Browns.
  • JAC Running Back #5
    Allen was expected to take on an expanded receiving role, in addition to his pass-protection duties, but a hip injury has stalled that plan. If active, he is unlikely to do more than help keep QB Trevor Lawrence upright. If he is inactive, the team could employ a committee approach in addressing his vacated duties.
  • JAC Running Back #5
    Jaguars coach Liam Coen said yesterday that Allen would be a game-time decision for Week 1 against the Browns. If active, he should handle his typical pass-protection duties. If he is inactive, running backs Ameer Abdullah, Chris Rodriguez and Bhayshull Tuten could all take on a little extra work, though projecting the exact usage is challenging.
  • JAC Running Back #5
    As expected, Allen did not practice Wednesday. It’s not that fantasy managers were eager to start Allen this week, but his absence would open up more routes and potential targets for Bhayshul Tuten and Chris Rodriguez, who are listed as co-starters on Jacksonville’s Week 1 depth chart. Both C-Rod and Tuten would be slightly better options if Allen is sidelined this weekend.
  • JAC Running Back #33
    Shipley hedges a bit by noting that there’s a chance that one back simply carries the momentum early in the season forward and never lets up, but ultimately falls on the idea that neither back is likely to hit 1,000 rushing yards in 2026. “I think there is a more likely chance we see both running backs hit 750+ yards than one of them hit 1,000,” Shipley writes. Such a split would probably lean towards Rodriguez at the goal line, making him slightly more fantasy-valuable on a weekly basis barring big plays from Tuten. If this prediction comes true, both backs might have trouble cracking the weekly RB2 ranks.

    49ers K Eddy Pineiro (illness) is questionable to play in Week 2 against the Dolphins.

    According to ESPN’s Nick Wagoner, the 49ers will sign a kicker to the practice squad as insurance, in case Pineiro cannot play. This is unfortunate. The 49ers’ starting kicker should bank a decent number of extra points, and ideally field goals, against the Dolphins this week.

    49ers RB Kaelon Black (groin) is questionable to play in Week 2 against the Dolphins.

    Black appeared on the 49ers’ injury report yesterday as a limited participant. He was seen practicing today during the portion of practice open to the media, but we do not know if he managed to practice in full. If so, that would be encouraging. The 49ers face the Dolphins’ unimposing defense this weekend. If Black is active, he can be started in FLEX spots, though ideally we get an update on his health beforehand.

    Broncos ruled out WR Marvin Mims (foot) for Week 2 against the Jaguars.

    It sure seems like Mims aggravated his preexisting foot injury in Week 1 against the Chiefs. Mims does not need to be rostered in 12-team leagues, though his absence does slightly improve the rest of the receiving corps’ outlook.

    Broncos RB RJ Harvey (hamstring) is questionable to play in Week 2 against the Jaguars.

    Even if Harvey is active, he makes for a dicey FLEX start. The second-year running back totaled seven touches in last week’s loss and he logged only two limited practices this week. The Broncos can divvy up the backfield work between RB J.K. Dobbins, Harvey and rookie RB Jonah Coleman if need be.

    Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (knee) was removed from the injury report and will play in Week 2 against the Colts.

    Mahomes ran the ball seven times for 23 yards and one touchdown last week before practicing in full this week. Both factors are encouraging. The Chiefs’ star quarterback warrants QB1 treatment against the Colts in Week 2.

    Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (knee) was removed from the injury report and will play in Week 2 against the Colts.

    Rice earned only two targets in Week 1, yet still technically warrants WR2 treatment based on his theoretical role in the offense, along with his past WR1 performances. The Chiefs notably faced the Broncos’ top-tier defense last week and will get a far softer matchup against the Colts in Week 2.

    Seahawks WR Tory Horton (hamstring) was removed from the injury report and will play in Week 2 against the Cardinals.

    Horton’s return boosts QB Drew Lock’s passing outlook, though Horton is not worth starting in 12-team FLEX spots, operating in the Seahawks WR4 role.

    Chiefs DT Chris Jones (calf) is questionable to play in Week 2 against the Colts.

    Chiefs CB Mansoor Delane (shoulder) is also questionable to play this week, though Chiefs coach Andy Reid said earlier this week “there’s a pretty good chance” Delane will suit up in Week 1. Jones remained limited all week. Delane logged two full sessions before downgrading to limited on Friday, which could indicate he suffered a setback. We will find out soon enough.

    Chiefs ruled out LT Josh Simmons (back) for Week 2 against the Colts.

    Backup OT Kahlil Benson will start in Simmons’ stead. He did so last week and avoided major mistakes. The Chiefs also ruled out CB Chamarri Conner (knee).

    Seahawks S Nick Emmanwori (ankle/hip) is questionable to play in Week 2 against the Cardinals.

    Emmanwori picked up a hip injury mid-week. Hopefully, he is good to go by Sunday. The Seahawks ruled out fellow starting S Ty Okada (hamstring) for this one, but the Seahawks D/ST remains formidable overall.
