Niles Paul gets nine targets in Jaguars’ loss.

Paul caught seven passes against the Chiefs, gaining 65 yards. He was the primary option at tight end over Austin Seferian-Jenkins, and it could indicate things have changed at the position for Jacksonville. We’ll see how the roles are next week against the Cowboys.

D.J. Chark makes a couple of long gains in Week 5.

Chark had receptions of 20 and 38 yards against the Chiefs, bringing his game total to two receptions (on four targets) for 68 yards. The second-round rookie notably made a spectacular catch on a deep ball as he angled his body to get in a position to make the grab. Chark is not a fantasy option quite yet, but he could be earning more playing time soon.

Keelan Cole catches four passes against the Chiefs.

Cole gained 70 yards on his four receptions (ten targets) in the Week 5 loss. He’s more of a deep-league FLEX option for now, but the ten targets are a positive sign, as it was tied for second on the team behind Donte Moncrief.

Donte Moncrief leads Jaguars in Week 6 receiving.

Moncrief was targeted a team-high 15 times against the Chiefs, catching six passes for 76 yards. Next week against Byron Jones and the Cowboys is not an easy matchup for Monrief, but he’s been a top target for Blake Bortles these last two weeks.

Brandon Wilds gets two carries against the Chiefs.

Wilds gained six yards on his two attempts in the Week 5 loss. With Leonard Fournette (hamstring) expected to miss more time and Corey Grant (foot) done for the season, Wilds is likely to take No. 2 running back duties in Week 6 against the Cowboys.

T.J. Yeldon scores in Jaguars’ loss.

With Leonard Fournette (hamstring) out again, Yeldon handled the load against the Chiefs, carrying ten times for 53 yards and catching eight passes (on ten targets) for 69 yards and a touchdown. The score was on a wheel route where he got wide open in the end zone. Corey Grant (foot) looks to be done for the season, and Fournette is fully expected to miss more time, so Yeldon should remain a workhorse in Week 6 against the Cowboys.

Blake Bortles throws four interceptions in Week 5 loss.

Bortles was 33/61 for 430 yards, one touchdown, and four interceptions along with four carries for 34 yards, a touchdown, and a fumble lost in the loss to the Chiefs. It just wasn’t a good game for Bortles, as one interception was a pick-six—for which Chris Jones deserves credit for making a nice play on a screen pass; and another was in the red zone on a pass that appeared to come of out Bortles’ hands weird and deflected off an offensive lineman’s helmet and into the end zone. Bortles will look to bounce back next week against the Cowboys, but he’ll remain a volatile option in fantasy lineups.
