Jacksonville Jaguars TE Evan Engram (hamstring) is in question to play against the Houston Texans in Week 4, head coach Doug Pederson told reporters Tuesday, Sept. 24.

Fantasy Spin: Considering the short week, there's a good chance managers will need to find a pivot option for Engram again.

From TheHuddle

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram (hamstring) has missed each of the last two games after suffering a hamstring injury during pregame warmups in Week 2. He was initially deemed week-to-week by head coach Doug Pederson, and with a short week coming up following the Monday Night Football loss to the Buffalo Bills, his status remains unclear. Backup tight end Brenton Strange caught two passes for 12 yards and a touchdown in Week 3. Jacksonville is looking to get into the win column on Sunday, but that will be a tough task on the road against the Houston Texans. Houston has allowed the sixth-fewest fantasy points per game to tight ends thus far, so Strange is likely not worth starting if Engram is out. If Engram can play, he'll have a high-end TE2 or low-end TE1 outlook. Fantasy managers should monitor Engram's practice participation when the Jaguars release the first injury report of the week on Wednesday.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Gabe Davis (shoulder) is considered day-to-day with a shoulder injury, according to head coach Doug Pederson. The former Buffalo Bill has seen 16 targets through his first three games with the Jaguars and has racked up 123 yards on eight receptions. His shoulder injury was not evident on Monday Night in the loss to Buffalo, but it doesn't sound as if the ailment is considered long-term. Either way, based on what we've seen thus far, he has limited upside as a part of a struggling offense led by Trevor Lawrence. Davis can continue to be stashed in deep leagues, but he's likely not worth rostering in traditional 10 or 12-team setups. Like when he was in Buffalo, he's mostly a touchdown-or-bust flex option in deep formats.

From RotoBaller

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Gabe Davis saw six targets against the Buffalo Bills on Monday night but could only turn those into two catches for 18 yards. Christian Kirk and Brian Thomas, Jr., saw most of the targets for the Jaguars as they were routed by the Bills in Buffalo. Davis was unable to get loose against his former team in this one. Even at his most productive in Buffalo, Davis was a boom-or-bust fantasy option. The big-play threat has yet to break free for a long catch from Trevor Lawrence this season. With Kirk and Thomas ahead of him on the receiving pecking order and tight end Evan Engram (hamstring) likely to take targets away from him upon his return, Davis is best left on the waiver wire.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. caught five of nine targets in a 47-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills. The rookie first-round receiver had a solid outing despite the blowout and looks like a high upside fantasy option in the future for patient fantasy managers. The Jaguars offense has struggled through three weeks, but BTJ has been solid despite that. In Week 1, BTJ caught a touchdown, in Week 2, he had 94 yards receiving, and in Week 3, he had his most targets and receptions so far. If the LSU product can put it all together, he could be in for a big game very soon. Given his baseline talent level, despite being a part of a rough offense, the rookie receiver should continue to serve as a high upside flex option going forward. BTJ and the Jaguars offense faces yet another tough defense in the Houston Texans in Week 4.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk was the team's best performer in an otherwise rough night in a 47-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills. The Jaguars put up a stinker on Monday Night Football, but fantasy managers who kept faith in Kirk should be happy with an eight catch, 79 yard performance, especially in PPR leagues. That led the team in both categories, a drastic turn from his two catches for 29 yards in the first two games. Despite the good performance, it will still be hard to trust Kirk going forward giving how bad the Jaguars offense has looked so far. The matchups will also not get any easier over the next few weeks, so expectations should remain low for Kirk and the Jaguars offense. However, the former Arizona Cardinal could maintain a WR3 level in PPR leagues if he continues to earn targets. Kirk will look to build on this bounce back performance in Week 4 against the Houston Texans.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. was solid despite game script being against him in a 47-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Etienne Jr. didn't get a touchdown this week for the first time this season, but he put up a solid 68 yards rushing on 11 attempts as well as 17 yards on four receptions. The Clemson product has maintained an RB2 level so far this season, as given the Jaguars offense is struggling, his upside is limited. The Jaguars have faced three good defenses so far, but either way, the offense has not looked good at all. Etienne Jr. has been one of the few bright spots of the offense, and if it can manage to get going anytime soon, he may be in for a big game. For now, the 25-year-old back will struggle to stand out in fantasy, but will maintain a solid floor heading into a Week 4 matchup with the Houston Texans.

From RotoBaller

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange only caught two passes, but one was for the team's only touchdown in a 47-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills. He finished with 17 yards receiving, catching two of his five targets. Taking over for Evan Engram once again, Strange was a little quieter from a yards perspective compared to last week, but the touchdown gave him a respectable fantasy output. The second-year tight end will likely move back to his original role of clear backup to Engram once the starter returns from injury, but for now, Strange is a solid starting option for teams in desperate need of tight end help, which seems to be most fantasy managers so far this season. As with most tight ends, Strange has a low floor but enough of a ceiling where he is a startable option as long as Engram is out. He will look to catch another touchdown in a Week 4 matchup with the Houston Texans.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence put up yet another underwhelming performance in a 47-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills. He finished with 178 passing yards, completing 21 of his 38 passing attempts. He threw one touchdown and one interception. The Jaguars offense just hasn't worked so far this season, and Lawrence has not looked great throughout. This is his second game with less than 200 yards passing, and he only has two touchdowns in three games. Even the potential rushing upside he has added during his career just hasn't materialized this season. The former number one pick is a player that can be dropped at this point in most leagues. His early schedule has been tough, but he isn't providing enough of a floor to be trusted at all to start in fantasy lineups. Lawrence has yet another tough road matchup in Week 4 when he faces the Houston Texans.

Dynasty | Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence completed just 21-of-38 passes for 178 yards with one touchdown and one interception in a humiliating loss to the Bills. Dynasty Analysis: The Jaguars were cooked to the tune of a 47-10 score where they were outplayed in every aspect of the game. Lawrence himself looks out of synch and has no rhythm with his new receiving corps. With just two touchdown passes through three weeks, Lawrence is looking like a poor game manager and player expected to do way too much with way too little at the moment. He belongs on fantasy benches in what's looking like a lost season. Lawrence's dynasty value is also sinking as it's fair to wonder if he really is as good as many thought he was coming out of Clemson.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

Jacksonville Jaguars WR Christian Kirk registered eight receptions for a game-high 79 yards on 10 targets in Week 3 against the Buffalo Bills.

Fantasy Spin: Kirk was non-existent in the first two games, going for two catches for just 29 yards in two games, including minus-1 yard last week in a loss to Cleveland. It's hard to trust Kirk again after just one good game, but this is a start. If you were kicking around the idea of dropping him, keep Kirk around as a reserve for at least Week 4 in Houston, and see if he can build upon the momentum.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Tank Bigsby (shoulder) is officially active for Monday night's contest on the road against the Buffalo Bills after being listed as questionable for Week 3. The Jaguars said early last week that they expected Bigsby to suit up, and he was limited in practice all week. The 23-year-old should resume his role as the RB2 for the Jaguars behind starter Travis Etienne Jr. against the Bills, but if he's limited at all, D'Ernest Johnson could see some more offensive snaps. Bigsby played on 32% of the offensive snaps in the Week 1 loss to the Miami Dolphins but didn't play a single offensive snap in last week's loss to the Cleveland Browns. He had 12 carries for 73 yards in the season-opener and should be involved again in the backfield on Monday after getting injured last week. The Jags hinted all offseason that Bigsby would have a bigger complementary role in 2024.

From RotoBaller

The Jacksonville Jaguars have declared OG Cole Van Lanen, S Darnell Savage, OT Javon Foster, LB Myles Cole, DT Jordan Jefferson, DE Esezi Otomewo and TE Evan Engram inactive for Week 3.

From TheHuddle

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Tank Bigsby (shoulder) is considered questionable ahead of the Week 3 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Bigsby was limited in practice all week due to a lingering shoulder issue that he suffered last week. At first, Bigsby was considered active for Week 3, but now has been downgraded to questionable on the injury report. Bigsby rushed 12 times for 73 yards in the season opener, but saw little action in Week 2 due to his injury. Travis Etienne Jr. is the lead back, but it seems like the Jaguars do want to involve Bigsby as well. Bigsby will fall into the RB3 conversation if cleared for Monday's game.

From RotoBaller

Jacksonville Jaguars TE Evan Engram (hamstring) did not practice once again on Saturday, Sept. 21, and has been ruled out for Week 3.

Fantasy Spin: No surprise here, as head coach Doug Pederson said earlier in the day that Engram wasn't expected to play. Engram's absence offers a slight bump to the Jags' top pass-catchers but Jacksonville doesn't have a viable starting option at tight end behind him.

From TheHuddle

Jacksonville Jaguars TE Evan Engram (hamstring) did not practice on Saturday, Sept. 21, and was ruled out for Week 3. Also, RB Tank Bigsby (shoulder), DB Darnell Savage (quadriceps) and WR Tim X. Jones were limited and are questionable, OT Cam Robinson (knee) was a full participant and has no designation, and DE Arik Armstead (rest) did not practice but carries no designation.

From TheHuddle

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk has been a huge disappointment so far this season and may struggle to reverse his fortunes against the Buffalo Bills. Kirk has only managed one catch in each game -- a 30-yard catch in Week 1 and a one for a loss of a yard in Week 2. He seems to have fallen down the pecking order behind newcomers Brian Thomas Jr. and Gabe Davis and even had less targets than tight end Evan Engram's injury replacement Brenton Strange last week. Given Jacksonville's rough start on offense and the lack of a clear top receiver, it is worth keeping Kirk for now to see if he turns things around, but starting him in Week 3 would be an unwise move. Fantasy managers should wait until he shows any signs of fantasy life before putting him back in their flex spots. As a struggling receiver with a less-than-ideal matchup, it is best to keep Kirk on the bench against the Bills.

From RotoBaller

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Gabe Davis is a risky flex play in Week 3, but a revenge game with the Buffalo Bills offers some unique upside if fantasy managers believe in that type of thing. Davis has been a boom-or-bust receiver his entire career, but he does currently lead the Jaguars in targets and is tied for the team lead in receptions with six. If the Jaguars offense can get it going on Monday night, he could be in line for a huge game. It is also just as likely he puts up a dud, but that is what fantasy managers signed up for when they drafted the former Bill. There are definitely safer plays, but Davis has interesting upside as a WR3/flex. While the Bills defense is better against the pass than the run, it is at least worth considering the veteran receiver for starting lineups in Week 3.

From RotoBaller

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. is a solid flex play on Monday night against the Buffalo Bills. The rookie receiver leads the team in receiving yards so far on a whopping 23.5 yards per catch, showing why he was a first round pick. His big-play ability is his greatest strength, a great skill for fantasy managers to look for in their flex receivers. Against the Cleveland Browns in Week 2, he led the team with 94 yards on just two receptions. He only has six catches so far, but that is tied for the team lead with Gabe Davis. The LSU product is more of a long-term asset than a short-term asset given his expected improvement as a rookie and the Jaguars early struggles on offense, but he's still a decent option to put into lineups in the short-term. The Bills aren't an amazing matchup but shoot for upside and start BTJ in Week 3.

From RotoBaller

Jacksonville Jaguars TE Evan Engram (hamstring) is not expected to play in Week 3's game versus the Buffalo Bills, according to head coach Doug Pederson.

Fantasy Spin: Engram had been held out of the team's first two practice sessions of this week after not playing at all last week. TE Brenton Strange, who had three catches for 65 yards on six targets against the Browns in Week 2, would likely get the starting nod if Engram doesn't suit up but can probably be avoided in most fantasy leagues.
