Fantasy Football Overview For The Jacksonville Jaguars

Trevor Lawrence struggled during the first half of 2025, but caught fire late and averaged a whopping 23 fantasy points per game following the team's Week 9 bye—the highest mark among any QB! Don't expect Lawrence to score 9 rushing touchdowns again in 2026, but the 26-year-old talent is firmly in the low-end QB1 conversation with the upside for much more.

The departure of Travis Etienne should produce a newfound one-two punch in Jacksonville between Bhayshul Tuten and Chris Rodriguez. Rising second-year back LeQuint Allen also figures to factor into the equation on passing downs. While C-Rod is great in short-yardage situations and has familiarity with HC Liam Coen dating back to their time together at Kentucky, Tuten looks like the de facto lead back and should boast superior upside thanks to his big-time speed and pass-catching ability. There are serious Year 2 Chase Brown vibes here for Tuten.

Travis Hunter is reportedly expected to be a full-time corner, part-time receiver in 2026. This would make sense with Jakobi Meyers, Brian Thomas and Parker Washington each being most people's ideas of #good wide receivers. Our most applicable final five-game stretch with the latter three receivers healthy featured Washington leading the way in target share (27%) and PPR points (19.1!). The relative lack of clarity surrounding the pecking order makes each enticing clicks at their respective WR3-4 price tags, considering each has proven capable of supplying high-end upside with a featured role.

Brenton Strange averaged 11.1 PPR points per game (TE12) in Weeks 12-18 upon returning from a hip/quad injury. The 25-year-old talent is a dependable pass catcher who could provide top-10 upside should the touchdown gods really get on his side one of these years. Of course, that's the case for many mid-to-low-end TE2s like Strange.

Utilization Notes For The 2026 Jaguars

Parker Washington erupted after taking over the WR3 duties when Travis Hunter went down in Week 7 of 2025. Over nine healthy games, Washington notched an 83% route participation rate with a 25% target share, averaging 17.1 fantasy points. He ranked 16th in yards per route at 2.08. We saw Chris Godwin thrive in a similar role in Liam Coen's offense in 2024 in Tampa Bay. With Hunter likely moving to a full-time role on defense in 2026, Washington should remain the starting slot WR and could be a steal in fantasy drafts. Amon-Ra St. Brown vibes.
