Rookie WR Josh Cameron landed third among Jaguars with 6 targets in Sunday's win over the Eagles. That doubled the counts for both WR Jakobi Meyers and WR Brian Thomas Jr. Meyers finished with 2 catches for 37 yards, while Thomas went catchless. Cameron caught three of his six looks for 43 yards, also third among Jaguars.

Jaguars WR Parker Washington racked up 124 yards and 2 TDs on 6 catches in Sunday's win over the Eagles. He delivered a 51-yard catch-and-run to starting the game's scoring in the first quarter, and then added a gorgeous catch for a 27-yard TD late in the fourth.

Jaguars WR Parker Washington drew a team-high 6 targets in Sunday's lopsided win over the Browns, catching five of them for 83 yards and one of QB Trevor Lawrence's four TD passes. No other Jag drew more than 3 targets as the team attempted just 23 total passes. Washington ran a route on 72% of Jacksonville's 25 dropbacks, trailing Jakobi Meyers by two routes (20-18).

Jaguars WR Jakobi Meyers (thumb) was limited in practice all week but is off the final injury report. He’ll play against the Browns this weekend, although it’s still unclear if the thumb injury he suffered on August 19 will be a factor. Meyers comes with a bit more risk than usual in Week 1 fantasy lineups.

Jaguars WR Jakobi Meyers (thumb) was limited in Wednesday's practice. He said before practice that he'll play vs. the Browns this weekend, but the thumb issue adds some risk to his Week 1 profile. Meyers lands outside the top 40 WRs in our Week 1 rankings.

Jaguars WR Jakobi Meyers got in a limited practice on Wednesday, HC Liam Coen said. It's the first we've heard of Meyers working since he suffered a right thumb or hand injury on August 19.

Jaguars WR Jakobi Meyers had his right hand in a brace on the sidelines of Friday night's preseason game vs. the Panthers. The injury was revealed to be a jammed right thumb that could cause him to miss time. The assumption would be that the second overall pick in 2025, Travis Hunter, would benefit from increased offensive snaps if Meyers’ injury lingers into the season. But according to Juston Lewis of the Florida Times-Union, that may not be the case.

Jaguars WR Jakobi Meyers had his right hand in a brace on the sidelines of Friday night's preseason game vs. the Panthers. HC Liam Coen offered little afterward, saying only that he's unsure whether Meyers will practice this coming week.

Jacksonville's Travis Hunter played 28 snaps on defense and just 2 on offense in 11-on-11 work in Wednesday's joint practice with the Panthers, according to ESPN's Michael DiRocco. That fits the recent camp trend: Hunter has been playing much more defense than offense.

It's been clear for a while now that Travis Hunter will play a bigger role on Jacksonville's defense this year than last. It's been less clear what that will mean for his playing time on offense. But HC Liam Coen gave us a strong signal when talking about Hunter's role with ESPN's Jeremy Fowler recently.

The Jaguars have agreed to a three-year extension with TE Brenton Strange with a max value of $48 million and $25 million in guarantees, NFL Network reports. That’s the fifth-most guaranteed money on a TE contract in the league right now. The $16 million a year at max value would also rank fifth-highest. (We’ll see about the base numbers.)

It was a little surprising when the Jaguars drafted Texas A&M TE Nate Boerkircher. It was the team’s first pick, after Jacksonville traded its first-rounder to move up for Travis Hunter in 2025, and Boerkircher totaled just 38 receptions across five college seasons (four at Nebraska, one at A&M). But the degree to which Jags leadership got excited about the selection might give us some hints at the team’s offensive plans for 2026 and beyond … and they could impact the fantasy outlook for your favorite Jacksonville receiver.

Jaguars OC Grant Udinski believes WR Parker Washington is capable of "even more" than he did at the end of last season. Washington averaged 4.8 catches, 74.7 yards, and 0.5 TDs over his final 10 games last year, including 114 yards and 0.75 TDs over his final 4.

Jaguars GM James Gladstone said he expects Travis Hunter to play both offense and defense again this season, and that the team is “absolutely not” done using him as a two-way player. He added that Hunter’s CB percentage and defensive snap count should rise. Hunter played 324 snaps at WR and 162 at CB last season, which matches the earlier reports pointing to a bigger defensive role. Gladstone did not call Hunter a “full-time” CB, but it sounds like those snap counts could be much closer to even in 2026.

ESPN's Michael DiRocco writes that the Jaguars and WR Brian Thomas Jr. expect the third-year wideout to rebound from a rough second season. Thomas navigated early-season struggles, a new offense, a mid-year high-ankle sprain, and a late-season role shift while delivering numbers well short of his standout rookie campaign.

NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe reports that the Jaguars plan to play Travis Hunter full time at CB in 2026 and just part time at WR. CBs Montaric Brown and Greg Newsome are set to hit unrestricted free agency, and Wolfe says the team is expected to let at least one of them walk to open a starting spot for Hunter.

Jaguars WR Parker Washington racked up 6 catches for 145 yards and a TD in Sunday's decisive win over the Broncos. He led the team in catches, yards, and targets (10) despite ranking just fourth in pass routes. Washington's 70.5% route rate trailed WR Jakobi Meyers (95.5%), WR Brian Thomas Jr. (84.1%), and TE Brenton Strange (72.7%).

The Jaguars and WR Jakobi Meyers agreed to a three-year, $60 million extension with $40 million guaranteed, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. It lands Meyers 24th among WRs in average annual salary and keeps him in Jacksonville through the 2028 campaign.
