Jaguars Week 9 outlook
Jacksonville sits at 5-2 atop the AFC South, riding a one-game winning streak after last week's 19-17 loss to Philadelphia was sandwiched between a wild 34-31 win over Houston and a lopsided 42-7 defeat to Indianapolis. The offense has produced 196 points against 111 allowed, a strong differential that points to a balanced attack through seven weeks. Week 9 brings a trip to Baltimore, with the market giving the Jaguars an 80.6 percent win chance heading into the Thursday night kickoff.
Fantasy-wise, Trevor Lawrence faces a Ravens defense ranked 21st against quarterbacks, a middling matchup that still offers upside. Bhayshul Tuten gets a more favorable look at a run defense ranked 11th, while Brian Thomas Jr. and Parker Washington face a secondary ranked 19th against receivers. Brenton Strange draws a 16th-ranked matchup at tight end, keeping him in the mix as a reliable target.
Injuries carry weight this week. Safety Antonio Johnson is out with an ankle injury, a loss for the secondary. Wide receiver Jakobi Meyers is questionable with a hamstring issue, and his availability will shape the receiving rotation behind Thomas and Washington in Baltimore.
