Jacksonville Jaguars vs Houston Texans
Play ‘Em If You Got ‘Em
Maurice Jones-Drew
#7 Ranked RB
Jones-Drew is a big part of the Jaguars offense even if they don’t have much of an offense. They are starting to look better and it helps that Jones-Drew is starting to look better as well. He averages 13.58 fantasy points per game. If that is better then your current RBs or Flex then Jones-Drew is a Must Start. He rushed for 77 yards and threw for a TD last week against the Browns. The Jaguars use him everywhere and Houston gives up the 13th most fantasy points to RBs.
Gut Calls
Cecil Shorts lll
#28 Ranked WR
Shorts had a great game (for him) on Sunday against the Browns with 64 yards and a TD. Houston gives up 6th fewest fantasy points to WRs, which does not leave Shorts too much room to be successful coming off a short week and an injury. Shorts averages 6.66 fantasy points in his last five games so that makes him a WR3, at best. We don’t love his matchup this week.
Bench Warmers
Mercedes Lewis
#31 Ranked TE
This is the Jaguars best matchup against Houston. The Texans give up the 10th most fantasy points to TEs. Don’t let his 8.6 fantasy points last week entice you to start him during playoffs. If you take away last week’s game, Lewis averages 1.94 fantasy points per game on the whole season.
