Parker Washington

JAC Wide Receiver #11

Parker Washington said his contract talks with the Jaguars “are continuing.”

Jags GM James Gladstone said last week that the team was open to an in-season extension with Washington, who is set to hit free agency next offseaosn. Both sides want to get a deal done, but they are clearly still at odds over the details of the contract. Even if it takes longer than expected, it does look like Washington will sign an extension before he gets to test the waters of free agency. Coming off an outstanding training camp, Washington should be treated as a fantasy WR2 for the Jags’ Week 1 date with the Browns.
Jakobi Meyers

JAC Wide Receiver #3

Jakobi Meyers (hand) said he will play in Week 1 against the Browns.

Meyers missed some time late in camp with a thumb injury. He wore a brace on his right hand late in training camp, causing some concern that the issue was more serious than initially expected. The brace was likely a precaution, as Meyers returned to practice a week ago. He will be in the FLEX mix versus the Browns this week.
Cole Van Lanen

JAC Offensive Lineman #70

Jaguars coach Liam Coen said Cole Van Lanen (knee) will be a game-time decision for Week 1 against the Browns.

Van Lanen suffered a serious knee injury in Week 18 last year and missed most of the offseason program. He practiced on Wednesday, though the team is still going to use the rest of the week to figure out if he’s ready for Week 1. Walker Little would likely take his spot in the lineup if he can’t go.
LeQuint Allen

JAC Running Back #5

Jaguars head coach Liam Coen said RB LeQuint Allen (undisclosed) is a game-time decision for Week 1 against the Browns.

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.
Bhayshul Tuten

JAC Running Back #33

Sports Illustrated’s John Shipley believes neither Bhayshul Tuten nor Chris Rodriguez will emerge as the lead back in 2026.

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.
Travis Hunter

JAC Wide Receiver #12

Sports Illustrated’s John Shipley reports that Travis Hunter “is expected to be the Jaguars’ No. 1 cornerback in Week 1 and beyond.”

Shipley leaves the light on for offensive contributions, entertaining the idea that Hunter can chip in “a few hundred yards and a few touchdowns” this season as well. That said, the early indications for Hunter’s FLEX viability in managed leagues are pretty bleak. Stash him if you wish, but understand that starting him in Week 1 against the Browns could result in zero points.
Parker Washington

JAC Wide Receiver #11

Jaguars general manager James Gladstone said the team would be open to negotiating an extension with WR Parker Washington in-season.

Washington, 24, is entering a contract year, coming off the best season of his career. He is reportedly expected to be the team’s No. 1 wide receiver. If Washington plays up to that standard, he will unquestionably be able to raise his asking price. Signing him to a deal right now could save the team money in the long term, but the front office evidently wants to see how he fares early in the year. Although this route could be costly, having a true No. 1 wide receiver affirm his financial value with top-tier play is a good problem to have.
Trevor Lawrence

JAC Quarterback #16

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence said he is more confident in his “progressions, adjustments, when to kill a play and what to call instead.”

According to ESPN’s Michael DiRocco, Lawrence’s offseason “was about gaining a graduate-level understanding” of coach Liam Coen’s offense. Last season, Lawrence was rehabbing an injury while attempting to change his footwork and adjust to a new play caller. He is now calmer and “can play more freely the way he did in the second half of last season.” Lawrence was the overall QB1 in total scoring from Weeks 9-18. If Lawrence and his pass catchers can carry the momentum into 2026, Lawrence can once again finish as an elite QB1, this time from Week 1 onward.
Chuma Edoga

BAL Guard #55

Ravens signed Chuma Edoga, formerly of the Jaguars.

Edoga appeared in 14 games for the Jags last year and made two starts. He has 25 career starts across both tackle spots and left guard. Edoga will be a versatile depth option for the Ravens.
LeQuint Allen

JAC Running Back #5

Jaguars coach Liam Coen said he would be “pleasantly surprised” if LeQuint Allen Jr. (soft tissue) played in Week 1 against the Browns.

Coen talked up Ameer Abdullah as a potential replacement for Allen’s duties in pass protection. He also singled out Chris Rodriguez’s abilities in pass pro. Pass protection duties aren’t a direct source of fantasy value, but it usually means that player will be on the field for the two-minute drill, which can generate plenty of receptions for running backs. Bhayshul Tuten not getting those reps would be a notable ding to his fantasy outlook. Allen himself isn’t on the fantasy radar, healthy or not.
