Cameron, a Jaguars rookie, has averaged only 2.4 targets and 6.3 PPR fantasy points per game over five weeks but scored at least 6.2 fantasy points in every game except Week 2 against Denver. He had a career-high six targets last week, matching the combined total of Jakobi Meyers and Brian Thomas Jr. Despite limited targets, Cameron has averaged 2.64 fantasy points per target and has a 25% touchdown rate, ranking second on the team with two receiving scores. Week 6 matchup against Houston is favorable; Texans have surrendered 41 fantasy points per game to wide receivers (second-most in NFL) and have given up a receiving touchdown and at least 21 fantasy points to opposing slot receivers in two of their past three matchups. Cameron ran 61.5% of his routes from the slot last week.

Cameron has averaged only 2.4 targets and 6.3 PPR fantasy points per game over the first five weeks but scored at least 6.2 fantasy points in all but one game. Last week he had a career-high six targets, matching Jakobi Meyers and Brian Thomas Jr.'s combined total. Despite limited targets, the rookie has made an impact with 2.64 fantasy points per target and a 25% touchdown rate, ranking second on the team with two receiving scores. Houston has surrendered 41 fantasy points per game to wide receivers (second-most in NFL) and has given up a receiving touchdown and at least 21 fantasy points to opposing slot receivers twice in their past three matchups. Cameron ran 61.5% of his routes from the slot last week. Additionally, the Jaguars' offense is rolling while teammate Brian Thomas Jr. looks lost (8, 17, and zero receiving yards in last three games on six total targets). The Jags remain in London for the second straight game while Houston has to travel across the pond, and one team always shows up flat in international games—likely the Texans with their second-worst-ranked defense in points allowed to wide receivers.

Josh Cameron is worth stashing if roster space allows; his per-route metrics are exceptional: 24% targets per route run, 2.85 yards per route run, 14.6% first downs per route run on a small sample. He continues to run about a third of the routes, but if Brian Thomas were moved, Cameron could become fully unlocked. He had four targets, three catches, 43 yards on 13 routes, plus an opening kickoff return touchdown called back due to penalty. The source describes him as an explosive playmaker.

Slips under the radar as a really awesome football player with amazing per-route efficiency despite limited playing time; on just 13 routes in one game, had 4 targets, 3 catches, 43 yards; one of the first reads on pass plays and makes big plays; returned opening kickoff for touchdown; early-stage breakout candidate on good team (Jaguars) with tough scheme to learn, similar to Rashi Rice situation with Chiefs where good teams bring up rookies slowly; could absorb routes from Brian Thomas given strong route efficiency metrics; only a matter of time before increased opportunity.

Rookie sixth-round pick Josh Cameron has impressed with 43 receiving yards in Week 5 and multiple catches in three of his first five NFL games, a notable achievement on a team with a deep receiver room including Jakobi Meyers and Travis Hunter. The source credits him with "sure hands" and notes he "runs extremely hard," stating that for a sixth-round rookie, his production "anyone would have to be pleased with." His early-game kickoff return was called back due to penalties but demonstrated his explosiveness.

Cameron is a sixth-round rookie with the Jaguars who has a role in 12 personnel, garnering around a third of the team's offensive snaps under Liam Coen. Despite lower opportunities, he is efficiently getting fantasy value out of little opportunities and has caught two touchdowns. He is a candidate to see a role increase over the next quarter of the season as a player already making an impact and having his target competition (Brian Thomas Jr.) on the trade block.
