00:00Joe, the Jacksonville Jaguars team preview turned you loose.
00:07Well, Travis ATN is a nice player, a guy that three down back, catch the football, do everything
00:13you want.
00:14Maybe some inconsistencies at times, but I think that's more on the overall play of the
00:18Jacksonville Jaguars than anything else.
00:20Trevor Lawrence, still a QB2 in this league.
00:23He hasn't quite hit his ceiling.
00:25At one point, we talked about him as a generational quarterback talent, and for a myriad of reasons,
00:30we just haven't quite gotten there yet.
00:32Grizzles a very young when he came into the league.
00:34I think people forget that.
00:35I think we should cut him a little bit of slack there.
00:37There's plenty of room for him to grow.
00:39Last year, we were excited about Calvin Ridley coming into this offense.
00:42Unfortunately, it did not work out.
00:43Christian Kirk had some injuries, too, but the guy that really stood out last year that
00:47carried this offense was actually Evan Ingram, who had a fantastic season.
00:51Now, you see some regression, these projections here.
00:54He is predicted to be the eighth tight end off the board, 786 yards, 85 receptions, four
01:00touchdowns.
01:01That's a lot of receptions.
01:02If you're in a PPR league, and you wait on tight end, and Evan Ingram falls in your lap,
01:06you could do a lot worse.
01:07They also paid Evan Ingram, so you know that this guy is part of this offense, and he's
01:12going to see his target share, 85 receptions is really good.
01:16If you look at the structure of this offense currently, Brian Thomas Jr. comes in.
01:21He's a rookie, so we're going to have to give him some help.
01:24Christian Kirk, probably the alpha, the main target guy, but not quite an alpha in terms
01:29of size of receiver that you think about, so he's a little undersized for that role.
01:33He could still be a very good one.
01:35Again, I think what comes down to the Jacksonville Jaguars is efficiency.
01:39They brought in Gabe Davis as off-season, too, a guy who has been very skeptical in
01:44terms of...
01:45Of many things.
01:46He just reads things on the internet and rubs his chin.
01:48Well, I mean, maybe, but Gabe Davis is a guy that sometimes you just forgot that he played
01:52for the Buffalo Bills last year.
01:53I mean, he would have one or two good games in a season and then just disappear.
01:57I don't know if that is a product of Stefan Diggs demanding the football so much and the
02:01tunnel vision of Josh Auer and that offensive focus, or is it an indictment of Gabriel Davis
02:06as a player?
02:07I think those are questions we have to ask ourselves, but we don't know the answer, so
02:12to just invest in it blindly, I think, is bad.
02:14I think it's bad fantasy right now.
02:16Could he be good?
02:17Could it be an explosive flex play?
02:19Maybe, but so could Brian Thomas.
02:21I think the Jaguars sum up like this.
02:23They're an interesting PPR team.
02:25They're a lower profile team, not as high profile as the next team we're going to talk
02:29about.
02:30Some of the other teams we've already talked about today, like the Texans or the Colts,
02:32right?
02:33We're talking about a team that, in PPR leagues, is Christian Kirk a value?
02:35Yeah.
02:36Is Evan Ingram a value?
02:37Yeah.
02:38Are they going to score as many touchdowns as we want?
02:40Maybe not.
02:41It still comes down to, can this offense work better?
02:45Can they take advantage of situations?
02:47Can they recapture some of that magic they had a couple years ago, where things broke
02:51right for them, and they were a playoff team, and they backdoored their way into the playoffs?
02:55And last year, things went wrong.
02:56So who are the Jaguars?
02:58Maybe we get a better idea of it, but in terms of investment, they're a mid-level ecosystem
03:03that I talk about in the Black Book.
03:05Good for PPR, but if you look in those half PPR leagues where touchdowns matter, I think
03:09they've become a little bit of a harder suggestion to go out there and invest in.
