Jacksonville Jaguars TE Evan Engram believes his role with the team so far has been as a "security blanket" and sees 2024 as a chance to make "more explosive plays" and become a "bigger red zone target."
"My role was being the security blanket for Trevor (Lawrence) underneath and getting the ball in my hands fast, (yards after the catch), getting up field and moving the chains. I've done that really well and I think the next level for me is to improve that intermediate, deep range. ... Making more explosive plays, downfield, more touchdowns, being a bigger red zone target. Those are my goals. I think that can take it to a whole other level," Engram told ESPN.com's Michael DiRocco.
Huddle Up: The Jaguars have taken steps to become more of a vertical passing team this season, adding Gabe Davis in free agency and the freakishly talented Brian Thomas Jr. in the draft. Even as he nears his 30th birthday, Engram is still more of an oversized receiver than traditional tight end - and he still runs like one as well. The biggest concern from a fantasy perspective is how well he finished last season, which is something he is unlikely to repeat if Jacksonville's receivers stay healthy. Nonetheless, he is a strong pick as a player typically going around the start of the seventh round in fantasy drafts.

Jacksonville Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. made a "positive impression" during OTAs, according to Jeff Howe of The Athletic.
Huddle Up: Thomas has the speed to stretch the field, and while he may deliver a few big plays, he probably isn't going to produce consistent results as a rookie. He should be owned in all keeper formats, but he is a WR5, at best, in redraft leagues.

Jacksonville Jaguars TE Evan Engram said he wants to become more than just an underneath target this season. "Making more explosive plays, downfield, more touchdowns, being a bigger red zone target," Engram said. "Those are my goals. I think that can take it to a whole other level."
Huddle Up: Engram just missed out on a 1,000-yard season in 2023, and even he doesn't generate more big plays, he should remain one of the busiest targets in the Jacksonville passing game. He should be a reliable TE1.

Jacksonville Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence agreed to terms on a five-year contract extension with the Jaguars Thursday, June 13, worth $275 million. The deal includes $200 million in guaranteed money.
Huddle Up: Lawrence will be the Jaguars quarterback for the foreseeable future after his massive extension. He probably can be considered a No. 2 fantasy quarterback in most fantasy leagues but could be a starting option in favorable matchups.

Jacksonville Jaguars WR Gabe Davis (knee) should be available for the start of the training camp, according to head coach Doug Pederson.
Huddle Up: Davis has missed some time this offseason but will have plenty of time to recover from his injury before camp. He will have a solid role in the passing game with the Jaguars this upcoming season but probably will not be a weekly starting option in leagues.
Posted 6/04/2024 12:40 am GMT
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Gabe Davis worked with QB Trevor Lawrence during the voluntary workout Monday, June because they work on their timing.
Huddle Up: Davis should receive most of the targets the team lost when Calvin Ridley left during the offseason. He should be rostered in fantasy leagues this upcoming season but may not be a starting option most weeks.
Posted 6/04/2024 12:38 am GMT
Jacksonville Jaguars TE Evan Engram has been impressive during offseason workouts, according to head coach Doug Pederson.
Huddle Up: Engram is coming off a career-high 963 yards this past season and should continue to have a big role in the passing game for the Jaguars. He should be a weekly starting option in fantasy leagues this upcoming season.
Posted 6/03/2024 8:40 pm GMT
Jacksonville Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence said he would like to sign a contract extension before the start of training camp but will be ready to play even if the two sides are not able to reach an agreement.
Huddle Up: Lawrence is coming off a solid 2023 season but should be able to improve his numbers if he can stay healthy. He probably should be considered a No. 2 quarterback in most fantasy leagues.
Posted 5/28/2024 10:45 pm GMT
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Gabe Davis (knee) has made some progress in his recovery but will continue to be a limited participant this week, according to head coach Doug Pederson.
Huddle Up: The Jaguars likely will be careful with Davis until the start of training camp, but fantasy players can keep an eye on the situation. He should be one of the starting receivers for the Jaguars this season but may not be a weekly starting option in fantasy leagues.
Posted 5/24/2024 6:15 pm GMT
Jacksonville Jaguars RB Travis Etienne may have his workload reduce a bit this upcoming season because head coach Doug Pederson said the team wants to keep Etienne healthy throughout the season.
Huddle Up: Etienne was an important part of the offense this past season and should still see plenty of touches in 2024 but may see a slight drop in production. He should still be a weekly starting option in all fantasy leagues.
Posted 5/20/2024 11:33 pm GMT
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Christian Kirk (core) is on track in his recovery from a core muscle injury and has been able to participate in offseason workouts, according to head coach Doug Pederson.
Huddle Up: Kirk should be fine for training camp and will be a big part of the passing game this upcoming season. He can be considered a No. 3 or No. 4 receiver in fantasy leagues when healthy.
Posted 5/20/2024 10:19 pm GMT
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Gabe Davis (hamstring, personal) will be sidelined for the next few days of practice, according to head coach Doug Pederson.
Huddle Up: Davis does not appear to be dealing with any serious issues and likely will be fine for training camp. He should be one of the main options in the passing game for the Jaguars this upcoming season but may not be a weekly starting option in fantasy leagues.
Posted 5/20/2024 4:40 pm GMT
Jacksonville Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence is present at voluntary offseason workouts while a potential contract extension is being negotiated, according to sources Monday, May 20.
Huddle Up: Lawrence is a fringe QB1 for fantasy purposes even if he has yet to reach his ceiling since being the No. 1 pick in 2021.
Posted 5/10/2024 9:42 pm GMT
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Gabe Davis (knee) has been limited during offseason workouts because of a knee injury that he suffered during the 2023 season, according to head coach Doug Pederson.
Huddle Up: Davis will have plenty of time to recover from the injury and should be fine for training camp. He likely will see a decent amount of targets during games but may only be a No. 4 receiver in most leagues.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have exercised their fifth-year option on QB Trevor Lawrence, according to general manager Trent Baalke. He will receive $22.6 million during the 2025 season.
Huddle Up: Despite this move, both sides have been actively engaged in contract extension talks over the last few weeks. He has thrown at least 20 touchdowns in each of the last two seasons and can be viewed as a solid QB2 option in most fantasy leagues.
Posted 4/28/2024 12:12 pm GMT
The Jacksonville Jaguars have exercised their fifth-year option on RB Travis Etienne, according to general manager Trent Baalke. He will receive $6.14 million during the 2025 season.
Huddle Up: Etienne ranked third in the NFL in touches during the 2023 season and should be a weekly starting option in all fantasy leagues in 2024, even if the Jaguars reduce his workload in order to make sure that he remains healthy.
Posted 4/26/2024 2:49 am GMT
Louisiana State WR Brian Thomas Jr. was selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars with the 23rd overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Huddle Up: The Jaguars have Christian Kirk and Gabe Davis on the roster, so Thomas probably will compete for the No. 3 spot for the Jaguars. Fantasy players can monitor his progress during training camp, but he probably will be a low-end No. 3 or a No. 4 receiver in fantasy leagues.
Posted 4/16/2024 8:32 pm GMT
Jacksonville Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) told reporters on Tuesday, April 16, that he did not feel fully healthy until March. Lawrence battled several injuries during the 2023 season.
Huddle Up: While many fantasy managers were disappointed with Lawrence's production last season, injuries undoubtedly played a role. He took a career-high 35 sacks despite missing the first game of his pro career, so he didn't get as much help as he probably needed from his offensive line. Lawrence adds a bit as a rusher, but his relative lack of rushing upside keeps him squarely in the fantasy QB2 discussion.
Posted 4/10/2024 1:44 pm GMT
Jacksonville Jaguars EDGE Joshua Allen agreed to a five-year, $150 million contract Wednesday, April 10.
Huddle Up: In leagues he qualified at DE, Allen was the fifth-best DL in IDP leagues last season with 17.5 sacks. He'll need some increased tackle or PD numbers to ascend higher, but he was rock solid in '23.
Posted 3/29/2024 1:50 pm GMT
Jacksonville Jaguars LB Foyesade Oluokun agreed to a four-year, $45 million contract Friday, March 29, that includes $22.5 million fully guaranteed. He had no guarantees in the final year of his deal before this three-year extension.
Huddle Up: Oluokun was the No. 1 LB in IDP leagues last season, depending on scoring system, with 174 tackles, 2.5 sacks and six PDs. He'll be an elite option again in 2024.
Posted 3/11/2024 8:50 pm GMT
Impending free-agent WR Devin Duvernay (Ravens) agreed to terms on a two-year contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars Monday, March 11, worth $8.5 million. The deal can be worth as much as $12.5 million.
Posted 3/11/2024 5:18 pm GMT
Impending free agent WR Gabe Davis (Bills) agreed to terms on a three-year deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to sources Monday, March 11. Financial terms of the deal were not immediately disclosed.
Huddle Up: A change of scenery might be nice for Davis, and he'll have some solid quarterback play to work with. However, it's best he shouldn't be viewed as more than a boom/bust WR3 considering his history of volatility.
Posted 3/10/2024 4:49 pm GMT
The Jacksonville Jaguars acquired QB Mac Jones from the New England Patriots Sunday, March 10, in exchange for a late-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, according to multiple sources.
Huddle Up: Jones is headed back to his hometown to compete with C.J. Beathard for the Jaguars' backup quarterback job behind Trevor Lawrence. The deal cannot be finalized until Jones, a former first-round selection of the Patriots, passes a physical and the new league year gets underway Wednesday, March 13. It is believed that both sides were discussing a sixth-round pick as compensation.
Posted 3/08/2024 8:49 pm GMT
New England Patriots QB Mac Jones appears to be available to interested parties, as multiple teams have reportedly called and done their homework on him, according to sources via NFL Media's Ian Rapoport.
Huddle Up: This should not come as a shock to anyone, as new head coach Jerod Mayo and new offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt have very little invested in the former first-round pick. Jones proved during his rookie season that he is a capable NFL starter, so a change of scenery may be exactly what is needed after a pair of disappointing seasons with sub-par receiving talent around him. With that said, he is unlikely to fetch more than a Day 3 pick in return.
Posted 2/29/2024 11:42 pm GMT
Jacksonville Jaguars RB Travis Etienne probably will see not see as many touches in 2024 than he did this past season because the team wants to make sure he is healthy for the entire season, according to head coach Doug Pederson.
Huddle Up: Etienne ranked third in the NFL in touches in 2023 but should still see plenty of work next season even if he does not match his total. He should be a weekly starting option in all fantasy leagues in 2024.
Posted 2/21/2024 9:57 pm GMT
New England Patriots QB Mac Jones is still a possible starting option in 2024 at this time, according to offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt.
Huddle Up: The Patriots likely will make changes at quarterback this offseason, but Jones is still a candidate for the quarterback job for now. He can be avoided in all fantasy leagues if he is able to find a starting job.
Posted 2/11/2024 5:20 pm GMT
New England Patriots QB Mac Jones is a candidate to be traded in the coming weeks and is likely to be playing elsewhere next season, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
Huddle Up: Jones, who was New England's first-round selection in the 2021 NFL draft, was benched multiple times last season due to inconsistent play and even wound up as the No. 3 quarterback option on the team's depth chart. His trade value is at an all-time low and his best chance of being fantasy-relevant in 2024 is by landing with a club that has no clear-cut starting quarterback option and then beating out several other candidates in training camp.
Posted 2/01/2024 11:40 pm GMT
Jacksonville Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence will need to work on decreasing his turnovers during the offseason after committing a league-high 21 turnovers during the 2023 season, according to head coach Doug Pederson.
Huddle Up: Lawrence has thrown 39 interceptions in in his three-year career but has also thrown at least 20 touchdowns in each of the last two seasons. He is still one of the better quarterbacks in the NFL and can be a low-end No. 1 quarterback in most fantasy leagues next season.
Posted 1/30/2024 12:40 am GMT
New England Patriots QB Mac Jones is not expected to have his fifth-year option exercised this offseason, according to a source.
Huddle Up: Jones was benched several times this past season and probably will have to fight for the starting job during training camp next season. He can be avoided in fantasy leagues even if he wins the starting job.
Posted 1/19/2024 6:05 pm GMT
Buffalo Bills WR Gabe Davis (knee) was ruled out for the Divisional Round playoff game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Friday, Jan. 19.
Huddle Up: Davis was a long shot to play this week after failing to log any type of participation at practice. Slot receiver Khalil Shakir and rookie TE Dalton Kincaid should be next in line for targets behind Stefon Diggs.
