Braelon Allen

PositiveProjection29:43

Braelon Allen is a high-end RB3 who has been highly efficient, ranking RB4 in elusive rating with strong tackle-breaking ability. While he currently faces a tough schedule of run defenses, the source expects him to eventually take over the backfield, though he is currently a touchdown-dependent play.

Insight page

Brenton Strange

PositiveValue25:46

Brenton Strange is functioning as the primary underneath target for the Jaguars, with his route participation climbing to 81% last week. He is an interesting, cheap tight end two option for fantasy lineups.

Insight page

Brian Thomas Jr.

PositiveUsage21:27

Brian Thomas Jr. remains a focal point of the Jaguars' passing attack with a 21% target share and deep aDOT marks ranging from 14.0 to 14.7. He is a legitimate deep threat who demands defensive attention; despite facing elite shadow coverage from Denzel Ward, Patrick Surtain II, and upcoming matchups against Christian Gonzalez, DJ Turner, and Quinyon Mitchell, he is a recommended target for the back half of the season.

Insight page

Bucky Irving

PositiveUsage29:04

Bucky Irving is the clear lead back, commanding 50% of snaps and 54% of team attempts. He is highly efficient, ranking RB10 in EPA success rate and RB4 in elusive rating.

Insight page

Chris Rodriguez

NegativeUsage28:58

Chris Rodriguez Jr. saw his snap share drop from 40% to 22%; he has not been targeted all year and is underperforming with -6 rush yards over expected per game.

Insight page

De'Von Achane

PositiveUsage18:11

De'Von Achane is seeing a strong workload with a 21% target share, which grew from 16% in Week 1 to 26% in Week 2. Despite an expected points workload of 24.7 points per PFF, he only scored 12.3; he remains a low-end RB1 and a viable bet for games where the Dolphins are forced to drop back frequently.

Insight page

Drake Maye

PositiveProjection34:30

Drake Maye is expected to have his most efficient game of the season against the Jaguars, a pass-funnel defense with a weak secondary. The Patriots have shifted to a more pass-heavy approach, and Maye is expected to be a bigger challenge for defenses than Deshaun Watson because he does not hold onto the ball as long.

Insight page

Hunter Henry

PositiveUsage39:37

Hunter Henry saw his route participation jump from 60% to 81% in Week 2, establishing him as a safe fantasy option and a viable DFS stack candidate for the Patriots.

Insight page

Jahmyr Gibbs

NegativeProjection5:57

Jahmyr Gibbs is the current benchmark for expected points per game among running backs, with 25.8 expected points per game per PFF.

Insight page

Jakobi Meyers

PositiveUsage21:43

Jakobi Meyers is struggling to command volume, recording only three targets through two games and target shares of 10% and 3% over the last two weeks. While he is running deep routes with a 19.0 aDOT, he is not being targeted on them, leading to concerns regarding his standing in the offense and his inability to get open.

Insight page

Jaleel McLaughlin

NegativeUsage32:44

Jaleel McLaughlin is an efficient runner who lacks the necessary high-value touches (HVT) and pass-catching volume for fantasy relevance. He is currently a touchdown-dependent RB3 who is often used for pass protection rather than high-value receiving work.

Insight page

Kenneth Walker III

PositiveUsage5:43

Kenneth Walker is a focal point of the offense, leading the NFL in carries through two weeks with a 70% carry share (RB4) and a 21% target share (RB5). His expected points per game of 25.8 rank second only to Jahmyr Gibbs. The source describes his addition as highly significant for the offense, allowing them to exploit defensive leverage by forcing choices between nickel and base packages.

Insight page

Lamical Perine

NegativeUsage28:53

La'Mical Perine saw 17% of snaps and a 4% target share last week, but did not record a carry.

Insight page

Malik Washington

PositiveUsage26:44

Malik Washington is effectively drawing targets on deep routes alongside Brian Thomas Jr.

Insight page

Malik Willis

NegativeProjection17:18

Malik Willis is struggling significantly, ranking QB23 in EPA per game and QB31 in success rate. He is holding the ball too long (3.36s time to throw) and suffering from a 43% pressure-to-sack rate, exacerbated by a lack of offensive infrastructure and a low first-read attempt rate. He has also struggled against the blitz, completing only 3 of 11 passes over the first two games.

Insight page

Michael Penix Jr.

PositiveRole0:48

Michael Penix Jr. is back on the field, which the source notes was a fun development for the Falcons.

Insight page

Parker Washington

PositiveBreakout20:59

Parker Washington is emerging as a key slot weapon for the Jaguars, boasting a 3.93 yards per route run and a 38% target share. He is not just an underneath accumulator but a legitimate field stretcher with a 13.8-17.8 aDOT, making him a primary beneficiary of the slot role.

Insight page

Rashee Rice

PositiveUsage4:04

Rashee Rice remains a productive receiver who is effective with the ball in his hands; he operates primarily out of the slot at a significantly higher rate compared to his teammates.

Insight page

Robert Woods

NegativeUsage10:13

Robert Woods is identified as a key receiver used in the run game to target linebackers, serving as a tactical example of how offenses create mismatches by removing fullbacks for versatile wide receivers.

Insight page

Romeo Doubs

NegativeRole39:08

Romeo Doubs has seen inconsistent route participation (76% in week one, 74% in week two) and lacks a clear-cut focal point role in the offense, competing with Mack Hollins and Demario Douglas for targets.

Insight page

Travis Hunter

NegativeRole27:06

Travis Hunter is not yet in a full-time role, playing only 60% of defensive snaps last week as he continues to ramp up from his injury last year.

Insight page

Xavier Worthy

PositiveRole4:46

Xavier Worthy is evolving beyond a pure deep-threat role, showing intermediate target-earning potential with aDOTs of 7.8 and 6.3. He is also being utilized in screen plays and is a strong candidate for a breakout game against weaker secondaries.

Insight page

Zack Moss

NegativeRole31:44

Zack Moss is referenced as the veteran back that Chase Brown had to compete with during his breakout season.
