Jacksonville Jaguars

2025 Recap

Jacksonville's 2025 season changed the trajectory of the franchise. The Jaguars finished 13-4, won the AFC South and established themselves as a legitimate playoff team in Coen's first season.

Trevor Lawrence finally delivered the complete fantasy season his talent had suggested was possible. He threw for 4,007 yards with 29 touchdowns and 12 interceptions, then added 359 rushing yards and nine rushing touchdowns. The nine scores on the ground were the differentiator. Lawrence finished with 38 total touchdowns and a 76% FAZE Consistency rate across 17 games.

Jacksonville's passing production was distributed much more evenly than the public perception of the depth chart suggests. Parker Washington produced 58 receptions, 847 yards and five receiving touchdowns. Brian Thomas Jr. finished with 48 receptions and a disappointing fantasy season relative to expectation. Jakobi Meyers produced 75 receptions and 835 yards across his full 2025 season. Jacksonville emerged from the year with a good problem: more legitimate receivers than clean weekly target guarantees.

2026 Offseason

Jacksonville chose continuity over reinvention.

Coen, Udinski and Campanile remain together. Trevor Lawrence enters his second season in the same offense. The receiver room remains deep around Brian Thomas Jr., Parker Washington, Jakobi Meyers and Travis Hunter. Brenton Strange remains the starting tight end.

The most important offensive change comes at running back. Travis Etienne Jr. is gone, leaving Bhayshul Tuten and Chris Rodriguez Jr. at the center of the new backfield. Jacksonville's first 2026 unofficial depth chart lists Tuten OR Rodriguez, confirming that neither player should be treated as an unquestioned bell cow entering the season.

That competition creates opportunity rather than a reason to avoid the backfield. Tuten is the explosive upside play. Rodriguez is the cheaper physical alternative with a legitimate path to early-down and scoring work. The biggest unresolved question is who owns the highest-value goal-line touches.

2026 Outlook

Jacksonville is a good football team.

The Jaguars have a quarterback coming off a 38-touchdown season, a proven offensive coach, three established veteran-level receiving options, an explosive young running back, useful backfield depth and a defense capable of keeping the offense in favorable game environments.

FAZE expects Jacksonville to remain one of the strongest teams in the AFC South and contend to win the division again.

FAZE Projected Record: 11-6

The fantasy story is less about whether Jacksonville can score and more about who consistently receives the production behind Lawrence.

• Trevor Lawrence posted a 76% Consistency rate across 17 games with one NUKE, one BOOM, seven HITs, four MIDs and only four BUSTs.
• Lawrence produced 38 total touchdowns, including nine rushing touchdowns.
• Liam Coen, Grant Udinski and Anthony Campanile all return for Year 2.
• Bhayshul Tuten has explosive talent and now has a realistic path to leading the backfield.
• Parker Washington produced substantially better fantasy results than Brian Thomas Jr. in 2025.
• Brian Thomas still possesses the physical ceiling to rebound significantly.
• Jakobi Meyers gives Lawrence another established receiver rather than speculative depth.
• Jacksonville has enough offensive depth to survive one player having an inconsistent stretch.
• Jacksonville DST remains draftable in fantasy.

• The backfield is not settled enough to assume Tuten receives true bell-cow volume.
• Goal-line work between Tuten and Rodriguez remains an important unanswered fantasy question.
• Brian Thomas Jr. produced only 29% Consistency in 2025.
• Jacksonville's receiving depth creates significant target competition.
• Parker Washington, Brian Thomas Jr. and Jakobi Meyers all have evidence supporting meaningful weekly involvement.
• Travis Hunter's offensive workload is difficult to project because of his defensive responsibilities.
• Brenton Strange remains a volatile weekly fantasy option despite a useful overall role.
• A strong team offense does not guarantee that every Jacksonville skill player will be individually consistent.

Jacksonville has become a quarterback-driven offense with enough personnel diversity to attack defenses in multiple ways.

The offense starts with Lawrence. His 4,007 passing yards and 29 passing touchdowns already would have created a good fantasy season, but the 359 rushing yards and nine rushing scores changed the profile completely. That rushing production provides the kind of weekly ceiling normally associated with a much more expensive fantasy quarterback.

The passing game is deep. Thomas remains the most physically gifted receiver. Washington was the more productive player in 2025. Meyers gives Lawrence an established veteran who can win underneath and in the intermediate areas. Strange works the middle of the field, while Hunter remains a specialty variable whose offensive involvement depends on how Jacksonville manages his two-way role.

The running game should become a Tuten-Rodriguez combination unless one player clearly separates. Tuten brings speed and explosion. Rodriguez brings more physical early-down traits. Jacksonville does not need either player to become Etienne immediately for the offense to remain productive.

The result is an offense that may be easier to project through Lawrence than through any single skill player.

Jacksonville's defense became a major part of its winning formula in Coen's first season.

Anthony Campanile returns as defensive coordinator, preserving the structure and terminology that helped Jacksonville become one of the league's strongest run defenses.

Josh Hines-Allen and Travon Walker give the Jaguars edge talent capable of affecting quarterbacks without the defense having to manufacture pressure on every snap. Jacksonville also has enough athleticism in the back seven to create turnovers and short fields.

The challenge is maintaining the same level after offseason personnel change, but this is no longer a defense fantasy managers should automatically ignore. Jacksonville DST belongs in the late-round draftable/streamable group.

Jacksonville enters camp with Anton Harrison at left tackle, Ezra Cleveland at left guard and Brenton Strange and the skill group playing behind an offensive line that is still establishing its final 2026 configuration. The current depth chart shows Harrison at left tackle and multiple younger linemen competing for depth and interior work.

The line does not need to become dominant for this offense to work. It does need to provide Lawrence enough stability for Coen's system to remain on schedule and create enough movement for Tuten and Rodriguez to take advantage of their contrasting styles.

For fantasy, the offensive line is a variable rather than a reason to downgrade Jacksonville's entire offense.

Jacksonville's defensive front remains one of the roster's better units.

Josh Hines-Allen and Travon Walker provide the edge foundation, while the interior rotation gives Campanile enough personnel to remain aggressive. The front's ability to stop the run helped Jacksonville control game script in 2025 and remains central to the defense's fantasy value.

For Jacksonville DST to remain a strong fantasy option, pressure production needs to support the turnover opportunities rather than forcing the secondary to recreate every takeaway from last season.

The secondary is talented but carries more uncertainty than Jacksonville's overall defensive success may suggest.

Travis Hunter remains the most fascinating variable. Jacksonville's current depth chart reflects the organization's intention to use him heavily on defense while listing him behind Brian Thomas Jr. at wide receiver.

That is good news for Jacksonville's defense and a warning for fantasy managers projecting Hunter purely as an offensive player.

Jacksonville has enough talent to remain opportunistic, but the defense should be evaluated on its current personnel rather than simply assuming every 2025 takeaway repeats.

Jacksonville matters because the offense has both proven production and meaningful market disagreement.

Trevor Lawrence is the clearest example. The market has him around ADP 90. FAZE has him at 78. His 76% Consistency rate, 38 total touchdowns and nine rushing touchdowns tell us the market is not fully paying for what he just proved.

The receivers create a different opportunity. Brian Thomas Jr. carries the name and upside, but Parker Washington outproduced him. Jakobi Meyers adds another proven target. That creates value if fantasy managers draft the correct price instead of assuming a traditional WR1-WR2-WR3 target hierarchy.

The backfield creates another pricing opportunity. Tuten is the upside bet. Rodriguez is the cheaper contingency bet.

Jacksonville is not a team to avoid because it has too many weapons.

It is a team where price discipline matters.

High

Jacksonville has multiple players capable of becoming meaningful fantasy starters.

Lawrence is the cleanest FAZE target because every successful Jacksonville skill player helps his production. Tuten has RB2 upside with room to climb. Thomas remains an upside receiver if his weekly involvement rebounds. Washington already demonstrated that he can be productive. Meyers gives managers another usable veteran. Strange offers late tight-end value. Rodriguez provides later-round backfield leverage.

The challenge is weekly concentration.

Fantasy managers should target Jacksonville's values without assuming that every talented player can receive predictable volume simultaneously.

• Has Trevor Lawrence permanently entered the high-end fantasy QB1 conversation?
• Can Lawrence repeat or approach nine rushing touchdowns?
• Does Bhayshul Tuten separate enough from Chris Rodriguez Jr. to become a strong weekly RB2?
• Who receives Jacksonville's goal-line running back work?
• Can Brian Thomas Jr. recover from a 29% Consistency season?
• Is Parker Washington actually Jacksonville's most dependable fantasy receiver?
• How much does Jakobi Meyers compress the weekly target ceiling of Thomas and Washington?
• How much offense will Travis Hunter actually play?
• Can Brenton Strange become more consistent and more important in the red zone?
• Can Jacksonville win the AFC South for a second consecutive season?

• **Trevor Lawrence:** 76% Consistency, 38 total touchdowns and an emerging fantasy QB1 profile.
• Liam Coen: The offensive system already produced a career season from Lawrence and a 13-win team.
• **Bhayshul Tuten:** Explosive young runner with the talent to become a strong fantasy asset if his opportunity expands.
• **Parker Washington:** Jacksonville's most productive receiver in 2025 and an important piece of the current passing game.
• **Brian Thomas Jr.:** Premium talent entering a prove-it season.
• **Jakobi Meyers:** Established veteran production in an already deep receiver room.
• Josh Hines-Allen: Defensive cornerstone and central piece of Jacksonville DST's ceiling.
• Travon Walker: Foundational edge presence.

• **Travis Etienne Jr.:** His departure creates the most important new offensive opportunity on the roster and opens the door for Tuten and Rodriguez.
• Defensive personnel turnover: Jacksonville must replace several contributors without assuming the previous season's takeaway production automatically repeats.

Nate Boerkircher — TE

Jacksonville used the No. 56 overall pick on Boerkircher, adding a complete tight end behind Brenton Strange. His blocking ability can help the offense stay multiple, while his presence creates long-term competition at a position where Strange remains the established 2026 starter.

Emmanuel Pregnon — G

Pregnon was selected No. 88 overall after an All-American season at Oregon. His ability to compete immediately on the interior matters for Lawrence's protection and for a running game transitioning to Tuten and Rodriguez.

Josh Cameron — WR

Cameron joined Jacksonville in the sixth round as a developmental receiver entering an already deep room. He adds future competition and special-teams value, but the current Thomas-Washington-Meyers hierarchy leaves no reason to project a standard redraft role yet.

Trevor Lawrence

Lawrence is not merely a late quarterback to settle for. He is one of the strongest value arguments on the roster.

His 76% Consistency rate came across all 17 games: one NUKE, one BOOM, seven HITs, four MIDs and only four BUSTs. He combined 4,007 passing yards and 29 passing touchdowns with 359 rushing yards and nine rushing touchdowns.

That rushing production changes his fantasy profile. Thirty-eight total touchdowns is elite scoring involvement, and Year 2 under Liam Coen provides continuity rather than another scheme transition.

The market sits around ADP 90. FAZE has Lawrence at 78.

FAZE Action: Target Rounds 7-9.

Lawrence is an emerging fantasy star, a legitimate QB1 and one of the strongest sleeper/value quarterbacks in the 2026 draft pool.

Bhayshul Tuten

Tuten's rookie numbers do not tell the full story because he spent the season behind Travis Etienne Jr.

He rushed for 302 yards with five touchdowns and caught 10 passes for 79 yards and two more scores. His outcome profile contained two MIDs and 12 BUSTs because the weekly opportunity was not there.

Now the opportunity has changed.

The current depth chart lists Tuten OR Chris Rodriguez Jr. as the starter, which means FAZE will not pretend the competition is over.

Tuten remains the player with the greater explosive ceiling. If he earns the larger share, a Round 5-7 price can produce a strong RB2 with RB1 stretches.

FAZE Action: Target Rounds 5-7.

Chris Rodriguez Jr.

Rodriguez is the backfield's cheaper leverage play.

He rushed for 500 yards and six touchdowns in 2025 and enters Jacksonville with a running style that can fit early-down, physical and goal-line work. The Jaguars are treating him as a legitimate part of the starting competition rather than automatic depth.

FAZE still expects Tuten to offer the better overall fantasy ceiling, but Rodriguez does not need to win the entire job to return value in Rounds 11-13.

If he claims the scoring role or Tuten misses time, Rodriguez could become immediately useful.

FAZE Action: Target Rounds 11-13 as a sleeper/contingency back.

Parker Washington

Washington deserves more respect than the traditional Jacksonville receiver hierarchy gives him.

He finished 2025 with 58 receptions, 847 yards and five receiving touchdowns while posting 47% Consistency. His outcome profile included one BOOM, four HITs, two MIDs and eight BUSTs.

That was substantially stronger fantasy production than Brian Thomas Jr.'s season.

FAZE is not automatically declaring Washington the permanent WR1. We are saying his actual production matters. He earned a real role and should be evaluated as one of Jacksonville's primary receivers rather than an accessory to Thomas.

Brian Thomas Jr.

Thomas enters a show-me year.

He posted only 29% Consistency over 14 games, with two HITs, two MIDs and 10 BUSTs. He finished with 48 receptions, approximately 700-plus receiving yards, two receiving touchdowns and one rushing touchdown.

That is not enough weekly reliability to justify drafting him as if his breakout is guaranteed.

The talent is still real. The ceiling is still real. The discount is what creates the opportunity.

Market ADP is around 67. FAZE has him at 76.

FAZE Action: Target Rounds 6-8. Make him prove the WR1 production before paying a WR1 premium.

Jakobi Meyers

Meyers gives Jacksonville another established receiver who cannot be dismissed when projecting targets.

He produced 75 receptions, 835 receiving yards and three touchdowns across his 2025 season. The FAZE Consistency rate was only 25%, but his overall volume demonstrates why Jacksonville's passing game is so difficult to concentrate around one receiver.

Market ADP is around 104. FAZE has him at 118.

FAZE Action: Target Rounds 8-10 when the roster needs receiver depth and dependable veteran involvement.

Travis Hunter

FAZE is fading Hunter in standard 2026 redraft.

This is not a talent argument. It is an opportunity argument.

Jacksonville currently lists Hunter behind Brian Thomas Jr. at receiver while giving him a major defensive role.

Until the Jaguars prove that Hunter will receive enough weekly offensive snaps and targets to overcome that two-way workload, FAZE will not draft the hypothetical ceiling.

FAZE ADP: 318.

FAZE WR rank: WR140.

FAZE Action: Round 17+ only. Avoid paying for an offensive role Jacksonville has not established.

Brenton Strange

Strange is solid but inconsistent.

He caught 46 passes for 540 yards and three touchdowns in 2025 and finished with 42% Consistency. His outcome profile included four HITs, one MID and seven BUSTs.

The overall role is usable. The weekly pattern remains uneven, and he has not established himself as Jacksonville's dominant red-zone answer.

He remains the starting tight end entering 2026.

FAZE Action: Late-round TE target only. Do not force the position.

Quarterbacks

Trevor Lawrence is one of FAZE's strongest quarterback targets for 2026.

The passing production was excellent: 4,007 yards and 29 touchdowns.

The rushing production makes the profile special: 359 yards and nine touchdowns.

That gives Lawrence 38 total touchdowns and a 76% Consistency rate with only four BUSTs across 17 games.

The market still prices him around ADP 90. FAZE values him at 78.

That gap is exactly where FAZE wants to attack.

Lawrence can be drafted after managers have built the core of their roster and still provide serious fantasy QB1 production. If the rushing role holds and Coen's offense continues to develop, Lawrence has Top-5 positional upside without a Top-5 quarterback acquisition cost.

Draft Range: 7-9. FAZE Action: Strong Target. Fantasy Identity: Sleeper QB1 / emerging star.

Running Backs

The Jacksonville backfield is talented, valuable and unresolved.

Bhayshul Tuten is the preferred upside play. He scored seven total touchdowns on limited rookie usage and has the explosiveness to become a strong RB2 if his workload grows.

Chris Rodriguez Jr. is the cheaper physical alternative after rushing for 500 yards and six touchdowns in 2025.

Jacksonville currently lists the position as Tuten OR Rodriguez, so there is no justification for pretending the lead role has already been won.

FAZE expects Tuten to have the better overall ceiling and prefers him in Rounds 5-7.

Rodriguez belongs in Rounds 11-13 as a sleeper/contingency value.

The key variable is goal-line work. If Tuten captures both the majority of the backfield and high-value scoring touches, his ceiling rises dramatically. If Rodriguez becomes the preferred power back near the goal line, the committee becomes more frustrating.

FAZE Action: Buy Tuten's upside without paying bell-cow prices. Buy Rodriguez cheaply as leverage.

Wide Receivers

Jacksonville has three established receivers capable of commanding meaningful targets.

Brian Thomas Jr. owns the biggest name and perhaps the highest physical ceiling, but 2025 was a poor fantasy season. His 29% Consistency rate and 10 BUSTs force him into prove-it territory.

Parker Washington was substantially better. He posted 58 receptions, 847 yards, five touchdowns and 47% Consistency. He earned the right to be treated as a legitimate primary receiving option.

Jakobi Meyers brings veteran production after catching 75 passes for 835 yards across his 2025 season.

That means Jacksonville does not have to force-feed Thomas.

It also means fantasy managers should not assume depth-chart labels equal target shares.

FAZE prefers Thomas when the market discounts him into Rounds 6-8 rather than when managers chase his theoretical ceiling.

Washington should be evaluated on actual production and can emerge as one of the offense's better values depending on final market price.

Meyers fits Rounds 8-10 as another proven option.

Travis Hunter remains outside the primary draft plan because his defensive workload makes his offensive volume too difficult to project.

This is a good receiver room.

It is not a simple receiver room.

Tight Ends

Brenton Strange is a useful late-round tight end, not a priority target.

His 46 receptions and 540 receiving yards prove he has a real offensive role. His 42% Consistency and seven BUSTs show why managers should not confuse that role with reliable weekly fantasy production.

Three receiving touchdowns also leave room for improvement if his red-zone involvement grows.

Jacksonville's depth chart continues to list Strange as TE1.

FAZE is comfortable waiting on Strange late, but he should not be drafted as if a major breakout is guaranteed.

Defense / Special Teams

Jacksonville DST is draftable.

The Jaguars have enough front-seven talent, continuity under Anthony Campanile and takeaway upside to justify selecting the unit late.

FAZE does not require managers to reach for defense.

If Jacksonville is available around Round 10 or later and roster construction supports taking a defense, the Jaguars are a legitimate option.

Cam Little remains attached to a strong offense and can be used as a kicker option when league format makes the position relevant.

Verified Schedule Status: Official 2026 schedule confirmed through the Jacksonville Jaguars and NFL schedule.

Schedule Difficulty: Challenging.

Critical Stretch: Weeks 2-6 before the Week 7 bye.

FAZE's football projection is 11-6.

Jacksonville is talented enough to survive the difficult portions of the schedule and should remain in the AFC South race throughout the season.

The early part of the schedule will test the offensive line, the new running back hierarchy and the receiver distribution. The Week 7 bye creates a useful reset point before the middle portion of the season.

The larger conclusion is more important than individual preseason win picks: Jacksonville should be expected to win double-digit games and contend for the division again.

Jacksonville's fantasy playoff schedule runs at Houston in Week 15, at Dallas in Week 16 and home against Washington in Week 17.

Evaluate that stretch through Trevor Lawrence's weekly QB1 viability, Tuten and Rodriguez's role clarity, Jacksonville's receiver target concentration and the quality of the opposing defenses.

Do not downgrade Lawrence merely because of matchup difficulty.

The larger playoff concern is whether Jacksonville's individual skill players have stable enough roles by December to trust in elimination weeks.

Trevor Lawrence is the clearest FAZE-versus-market opportunity on the team.

FAZE values Lawrence twelve spots earlier than the current market because the 76% Consistency rate, 38 total touchdowns and rushing production create a much stronger fantasy profile than the QB price suggests.

Tuten is priced close to FAZE value, which means managers should not chase him significantly above Round 5.

Brian Thomas Jr. and Jakobi Meyers both sit behind their current market prices on the FAZE board. That does not make them automatic fades. It means FAZE wants them at the correct round rather than paying the market premium.

Rodriguez, Parker Washington and Brenton Strange are close enough to market that their value comes from waiting for the correct range rather than aggressively chasing them.

Hunter's substantial FAZE discount reflects the unresolved offensive workload created by his two-way role.

AFC South Label: Competitive

Jacksonville should be expected to compete for and potentially win the AFC South again.

The Jaguars are no longer trying to prove that they belong in the division race. They won 13 games and the division in Coen's first season.

That does not make the repeat automatic. Houston and Indianapolis are capable of creating a real race, and divisional games can punish inconsistency.

Jacksonville's advantage is continuity at the most important levels: head coach, offensive coordinator, defensive coordinator and quarterback.

FAZE projected record: 11-6.

That puts Jacksonville directly in the AFC South title conversation.

Roster: B+

Jacksonville has enough talent at quarterback, receiver, edge rusher and across the roster to remain a legitimate playoff team.

Quarterback: A-

Trevor Lawrence is coming off 4,007 passing yards, 38 total touchdowns and a 76% Consistency season. Another year at that level moves him firmly into the elite conversation.

Coaching: A-

Liam Coen produced a 13-4 division champion in his first season, and Jacksonville retained Grant Udinski and Anthony Campanile for 2026.

Offseason: B-

Jacksonville preserved the most important structural pieces but must redistribute Travis Etienne Jr.'s backfield workload and replace defensive production lost through personnel changes.

Division: C — Competitive

Jacksonville should be favored to remain near the top of the AFC South, but the division provides enough competition that another title must be earned.

Schedule: C+ — Challenging

The schedule contains enough difficult stretches to prevent an easy projection back to 13 wins.

Projected Record: 11-6

Jacksonville is a good team and should return to the playoffs if its major skill-position competitions resolve without destabilizing the offense.

Final Locked Playoff Odds™: 82%

Tier: Playoff Contender

Ceiling: 13-4

Floor: 8-9

Jacksonville's playoff case is strong because the Jaguars have already shown that Coen's system works with Lawrence. The quarterback is ascending, the staff remains intact and the roster has enough offensive depth to withstand normal NFL attrition.

The downside is concentrated around role distribution and defensive regression. The running game must replace Etienne. The receiver room must divide targets among several legitimate players. The defense must remain disruptive without assuming every takeaway from 2025 repeats.

FAZE projects 11-6 and expects Jacksonville to be one of the primary AFC South contenders.

The Jaguars should be treated as a playoff-caliber football team unless the 2026 season provides evidence that the 2025 breakthrough was unsustainable.

• Target Bhayshul Tuten in Rounds 5-7 as an upside RB2. Do not pay bell-cow prices until Jacksonville shows bell-cow usage.
• Target Brian Thomas Jr. in Rounds 6-8 as a discounted upside play. This is a show-me year, not an automatic WR1 projection.
• Target Trevor Lawrence in Rounds 7-9 as one of FAZE's premier quarterback values and sleeper QB1 candidates.
• Respect Parker Washington's actual 2025 production rather than assuming he automatically falls behind Thomas in fantasy value.
• Target Jakobi Meyers in Rounds 8-10 when the board supports another proven receiver.
• Target Chris Rodriguez Jr. in Rounds 11-13 as cheap backfield leverage with scoring-role potential.
• Treat Brenton Strange as a late-round tight-end option, not a priority investment.
• Fade Travis Hunter at normal redraft prices. Round 17+ only until Jacksonville establishes meaningful weekly offensive volume.
• Jacksonville DST is draftable in Round 10 or later when roster construction supports taking a defense.
• Do not overpay for Jacksonville's skill players simply because the team offense is good.
• The clearest player-level edge is Trevor Lawrence.
• The defining team-level draft rule is simple: buy the value, respect the competition.
