Jacksonville Jaguars DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange can be a decent option in Week 15 against the New York Jets for fantasy managers dealing with tight end injuries. Starting tight end Evan Engram is out for the season, meaning Strange has a chance to step up. Given Engram only put up four catches for 33 yards last week against the Tennessee Titans with Mac Jones under center, it is hard to imagine Strange having a big game. However, with multiple injuries to starting tight ends, such as Engram, David Njoku, Dallas Goedert, and Will Dissly, fantasy managers can do much worse than Strange. The Jets are good against tight ends, so it would be rash to start Strange over a more established option, but at the very least, Strange is worth picking up as a backup in Week 15.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. was heavily involved in the passing game in Week 14, and that likely won't change in Week 15 against the New York Jets. With Mac Jones under center and multiple passing options out with injuries, Etienne Jr. emerged as a top target, putting up 50 yards on four catches and four targets. Now that Evan Engram is also out for the season, Etienne Jr. could be even more involved in the passing game this week due to the lack of healthy receiving options. The 25-year-old back also got four carries for 20 yards, making him more efficient than teammate Tank Bigsby. If Etienne Jr. can receive even more carries and remain heavily involved in the passing game, he will serve as a decent flex in Week 15 against the Jets.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Tank Bigsby should get a good dose of carries in Week 15 against the New York Jets. Bigsby received 18 carries compared to fellow back Travis Etienne Jr.'s four carries in Week 14 against the Tennessee Titans. Given Bigsby dominated the rushing volume while Etienne Jr. got more work in the passing game, it's easy to believe Week 15 will be more of the same. Bigsby also mustered a rushing touchdown, the only touchdown of the game for the Jaguars, so if he can be more efficient than his 3.1 yards per carry, he could be in for another solid fantasy day. Bigsby should have good enough volume out of the backfield to be considered a solid flex option in Week 15 against the Jets.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Mac Jones will likely match his Week 14 performance in Week 15 against the New York Jets. The Jets are similar to the Titans in that they haven't been good this year record-wise but have been good against the pass. Jones finished with 220 yards and zero passing touchdowns against the Titans, leading the Jaguars to just 10 points, all of which came in the fourth quarter. After an improved performance in Week 13 against the Houston Texans in the second half after Trevor Lawrence left with a concussion, Jones returned to his form from Weeks 10 and 11 in Week 14. Given Jones hasn't thrown a passing touchdown in his three starts, it's hard to imagine things will change against the Jets in Week 15.

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram (shoulder) requires surgery and will miss the rest of the season, according to J.P. Shadrick of the Jaguars Radio Network. The veteran was second on the team with 64 targets and 47 catches in just nine games played. It's yet another blow for the Jags in a season full of them, as the team also has spent significant portions of the year without stalwarts like quarterback Trevor Lawrence and linebacker Foyesade Oluokon. Now, as the Jags play out the string behind backup quarterback Mac Jones, they'll turn to tight ends Luke Farrell and Brenton Strange to replace Engram. Neither should be on the fantasy radar for the rest of the season, even in deep or TE-premium leagues.
