Marqise Lee leads Jacksonville in Week 5 receiving.

Lee caught two of four targets for 49 yards with a long of 31 against the Steelers. If things go as the Jaguars want, the receivers won’t get many looks this season in a run-centric gameplan. Lee is worth rostering, but his upside might not be reached unless Jacksonville is playing from behind in games.

Rob Gronkowski (thigh) says he will play on Sunday.

This was fully expected. Though Gronk might be listed as questionable for the game, he’ll be ready to go against the Jets. You can safely insert Gronkowski into your lineup as the best TE option this week.

Trey Burton scores first touchdown of the season in Week 5 win.

It was a 15-yard score in the first quarter, and Burton finished with two catches for 16 yards. He isn’t a fantasy option with Zach Ertz healthy.

DeVante Parker (ankle) will be listed as doubtful.

Parker hasn’t been able to practice all week after injuring his ankle in the first quarter of Sunday’s win over the Titans, so that’s why he’s listed as doubtful. Dolphins head coach Adam Gase did say “I’ll never count him out after what he did last year in Baltimore”—a game last December in which Parker was not expected to play because of an ankle injury, but he did and scored a touchdown. Don’t count him out yet, but you might be better off inserting someone else into your fantasy lineup even if Parker ends up being a surprise active for the game.

Chris Ivory plays well in Week 5.

In their usual run-heavy gameplan, Ivory received eight carries and picked up 41 yards against the Steelers. Again, Leonard Fournette is the clear workhorse in the backfield and received 28 carries in the game, but Ivory continues to contribute as a great option to spell Fournette.

Markus Wheaton suffered a groin injury in practice yesterday.

He has been ruled out for Sunday, and it could certainly be longer than just this week. After signing a deal this offseason with the Bears to perhaps be the team’s top receiver, Wheaton sadly hasn’t been able to stay healthy so far. Undrafted rookie Tanner Gentry, who was recently called up from the practice squad, could find himself in a big role on Sunday against Baltimore.

Jaguars continue to feed rookie Leonard Fournette.

Fournette carried 28 times for 181 yards and two touchdowns while adding a three-yard reception against the Steelers, as he put on a show all afternoon. On Fournette’s first touchdown, he leaped from about five yards out and elevated into the end zone. And on his second touchdown he received great blocking and showed off his breakaway speed, running 90 yards untouched. And in between, Fournette waved Steelers safety Mike Mitchell to come and try to tackle him during a run before lowering his shoulder right into him. The fourth-overall pick in the draft is simply a monster that’s getting handed the ball a ton. He’s one of the best options against the Rams in Week 6.
