It’s a solid unit and it should be prime to take advantage of a Jaguars team that’s bled DKFP to opposing defenses so far in 2021. New addition Trey Hendrickson is wrecking havoc up front and that’s helped the Bengals register 10 sacks through their first three contests - tied for the third-most in football. I can’t say I saw that coming this season. The Bengals should be able to attack through the air at will.īengals D/ST ($5,600) - You could say that strength of schedule has something to do with this, but Cincinnati enters Thursday’s matchup with Jacksonville ranking fourth in defensive DVOA. So, how did Urban Meyer go about solving this issue? He traded top corner C.J. Coming into Week 4, the Jaguars rank 30th in the NFL in pass defense DVOA, they’re one of three teams surrendering at least 9.0 yards per opponent pass attempt and, most enticing for Chase, they’ve conceded a league-high 11.1 yards per target to opposing wide receivers. You’d also be hard-pressed to find a better matchup than Jacksonville’s secondary. His target share isn’t amazing by any means - it’s Tyler Boyd ($7,400) who actually leads the team and is also very viable on Thursday - but with Tee Higgins (shoulder) on the sideline, both wideouts should get plenty of looks. Ja’Marr Chase ($15,300 CP) - Drafted just four picks behind the aforementioned Lawrence, Chase has been phenomenal in his brief time in the league, racking up 220 receiving yards and four touchdowns through his first three games. Maybe Lawrence would have fewer interceptions if he were playing slightly more conservative, but I’ll always take the ceiling of a gunslinger in a Showdown setting. That’s volume and it’s not like Lawrence is out there dumping the ball off to safety valves, either, as his 9.7 yard average depth of target is tied with Russell Wilson for the third-highest mark in football.

Through three weeks of action, Lawrence ranks eighth in the NFL in drop backs (128) and ninth in passing attempts (118), as the Jaguars tout the league’s third-highest pass ratio at 66.9%. Yet, at the same time, you can’t say he hasn’t at least been given the opportunity to showcase his talents. Trevor Lawrence ($15,600 CP) - Have the results been pretty for Lawrence in his first three professional games? Not at all.
