Jacksonville Jaguars DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram should serve as a safety valve for Mac Jones in Week 14 against the Tennessee Titans. The Titans, despite their 3-9 record, have been good against the pass in fantasy, both against tight ends and wide receivers. However, that shouldn't stop Engram from having a decent day, especially in PPR leagues. Last week against the Houston Texans, Engram produced seven catches for 41 yards. He led the team in receptions but was well behind Parker Washington and Brian Thomas Jr. in receiving yards. That trend could continue given Engram's role in the offense, making him more touchdown-dependent than usual. The good news is Jones was able to throw two passing touchdowns last week after none in his previous two starts. Engram should be viewed as a low-end TE1 in Week 14.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. should continue his underwhelming play against the Tennessee Titans in Week 14. Backup running back Tank Bigsby has been banged up recently but is completely off the injury report and should eat more into Etienne Jr.'s touches this week after a 16-8 touch split last week. While it is reassuring for fantasy managers the 25-year-old back out of Clemson got 16 touches last week, he didn't do enough with those touches producing just 58 total yards. While the Jaguars could run the ball more this week if they get a lead against the 3-9 Titans, Etienne Jr. has failed to be explosive and maximize his opportunities, making him a risky start once again. Especially with Mac Jones under center, Etienne Jr. is a risky flex play at best in Week 14.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Tank Bigsby should fare better in Week 14 against the Tennessee Titans than last week. Bigsby has been struggling with injuries but is completely off the injury report this week. He is back to splitting work as the backup for Travis Etienne Jr. after putting up 28 yards on seven carries and seven yards on one reception in Week 13 against the Houston Texans. Etienne Jr. had 16 touches, double that of Bigsby, but given the young back out of Auburn has looked like the more explosive back all season, it is likely that touches even out more this week. The Jaguars could play with a lead more than usual and run the ball more against the Titans, but given the offense's volatility with Mac Jones under center, Bigsby should be viewed as nothing more than a flex option in Week 14.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. has the same upside that he usually does, but with Mac Jones under center, his floor is lower than usual against the Tennessee Titans. BTJ did have four catches for 76 yards and a touchdown last week against the Houston Texans, but he also had his lowest catch percentage of the season of 40 percent. The rookie isn't on as good of a page with Jones as with Trevor Lawrence, but he at least showed signs of production with Jones in Week 13. Given his big-play ability, it is hard to bench BTJ, but fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if Jones can't find BTJ down the field and the offense struggles to move the ball, like against the Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings. BTJ serves as a boom-or-bust WR2 in Week 14 against the Titans.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Mac Jones performed well in relief of Trevor Lawrence but could struggle once again in Week 14 against the Tennessee Titans. Despite the Titans being one of the worst teams in the NFL, they have a solid pass defense, meaning they could make things difficult for Jones and the Jaguars passing attack. In just one half last week, Jones finished with 20 completions on 32 attempts for 235 yards and two touchdowns against the Houston Texans, so he at least has a performance that looks much better than his previous two starts against the Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings where he combined for 0 touchdowns and three interceptions. Beyond superflex leagues as a low-end QB2, it is difficult to trust Jones in fantasy lineups given fantasy playoffs are on the line in Week 14.
