Wilford

His two touchdowns in two games (and two catches) aren’t totally a fluke. Wilford outplayed top ten pick Reggie Williams for most of training camp. He’s someone to watch if he climbs to starter status.

“It seemed like every time I turned around, No.19 [Wilford] was reaching up and catching the ball,’' coach Jack Del Rio said on Wednesday. “He stood out to anybody who was watching practice, and that’s a good sign for us.’'

Unlike Williams, Wilford has no chance to start. But he’s someone to keep an eye on.

Wilford is reportedly outplaying his first-round teammates again in training camp. What does he have to do to win a starting job? Even though he’s the No. 3 receiver for now, he’s still worth a fantasy pick because we suspect that will change eventually.

Reggie Williams made one reception for 12 yards. The running game was featured during the game, so neither competitor was able to separate himself statistically.

"(Wilford) entered training camp as the number one guy,” head coach Jack Del Rio. The statement is odd, considering Del Rio said Wilford wasn’t guaranteed the third receiver job prior to training camp. Either way, Wilford should now have the opportunity to capitilize on the promise he showed last season. He was on our magazine sleeper list as a solid value WR4.

Reggie Williams didn’t make a catch. No. 4 receiver Chad Owens caught two balls for 86 yards, including a 62-yard bomb from David Garrard.

Wilford, who played with just two percent body fat in 2005, changed his offseason eating habits to gain weight in hopes of not wearing down like he did last year. He’s starting in Friday’s intrasquad game with Matt Jones (ankle) on the sidelines.

Former first-round pick Reggie Williams has lined up as the Jaguars’ starter opposite Matt Jones. Wilford played well after Williams suffered a concussion in 2005, catching 41 balls and seven TDs over the course of the season. The two are expected to compete during training camp.

We’re not sure it matters. Del Rio will announce Matt Jones, Wilford, and Williams as starters this weekend. With tight end Marcedes Lewis out, the team will use a lot of three wideout sets and probably rotate the three wideouts anyway.
