2019 roster outlook: Defensive LineReinhold Matay-USA TODAY SportsNow that the
Super Bowl has been decided, it means the offseason talk is going to ramp up
quickly for teams like the Jacksonville Jaguars. They’ve filled out their
coaching staff, which included the hiring of offensive coordinator John
DeFilippo. We can now start looking at the roster and trying to figure out what
the team is going to have in 2019 and what they could be adding and what
positions they’ll want to be adding to.You can read about the Jaguars salary cap
situation right here for now, until the official numbers are released, that’s
the best we’ll get.Next up, we will look at the defensive line group.Players
under contract in 2019:Calais Campbell:Don’t think we need to say much. His play
didn’t drop off at all in 2018 like some expected so I see no reason to think he
won’t still be an impact player in 2019.Yannick Ngakoue: Despite his sack number
dipping slightly, Ngakoue was still excellent rushing the passer and being
disruptive in the NFL. Towards the end of the season he was Top 5 in the NFL in
pressures.Marcell Dareus: Dareus took over full time this year and was a steady
workhorse. It was noticeable when he wasn’t in the game.Malik Jackson: While his
numbers were down, Jackson was still a solid player in 2018. Abry Jones: Jones
is a starting caliber player that is depth right now and a run stuffer. I expect
him to have more of a rotational role in 2019.Taven Bryan: The experiment with
Bryan at defensive end went on a little too long and probably wasted his rookie
season. When he moved back inside he was a lot more noticeable and disruptive,
so here’s hoping he can do more of that in 2019.Eli Ankou: Ankou was hurt most
of the season
Ryquell Armstead Jacksonville Jaguars Jerseys , but the Jaguars value his run stopping ability.Michael Hughes: I don’t know much about him!Dawuane Smoot:
Smoot was someone a lot of people thought could get cut this season, but once he
was healthy he actually started to make a few plays. Maybe the light goes on in
2019.Lyndon Johnson: A late add in the season who flashed a little bit.
Potential cap cuts:Malik Jackson: I think Jackson is as good as gone for the
Jaguars and overall, they got what they paid for in free agency. Jackson was
excellent his first two season in Jacksonville with some drop off playing a
little hurt in 2018. His cap figure in 2019 was always likely the cut-away point
and doing so saves you $11 million.Marcell Dareus: Dareus is someone I think the
Jaguars will approach about restructuring his contract by adding a year to it.
The team likes him and he’s done well since being traded.Calais Campbell: We
know Campbell has already been informed he will be back in 2019, however I
listed him hear because I think the team tries re-do his deal and push some
money to 2020.Abry Jones: I don’t think Jones gets cut, but he’s a straight
savings of $4 million if they want to. Potential free agent options:I don’t
think the Jaguars go after any FA defensive lineman, but here’s some names of
interest to me.Ezekiel Ansah: Coming off injury so I don’t know that he will be
THAT expensive, but he’s someone who would fit right in.Aaron Lynch: Lynch could
double up playing some SAM and rushing the passer on third downs.Romeo Okwara:
An under-the-radar pass rusher who’s at the sweet spot for age in free
agency.Mario Edwards: Versatile defensive lineman who can play end or inside.
Depth, more than anything. A look at some key fantasy football questions for
Week 13:WHICH UNDER THE RADAR PLAYERS HAVE THE BEST CHANCE FOR A BIG GAME THIS
WEEK?Broncos QB Case Keenum has a very favorable matchup against the Cincinnati
Bengals this week. Cincinnati has yielded at least three passing TDs to QBs in
four of their last five games, including four to Browns QB Baker Mayfield last
week. Keenum threw for two TDs against the Steelers in Week 12 and last season
against Cincinnati he threw two TD passes and completed 20 of 23 passes.Dolphins
RB Kenyan Drake has been dealing with a shoulder injury for the past two weeks
and it even forced him to the sidelines for part of his Week 12 matchup. If
Drake plays this week he’s likely to be limited. His teammate Frank Gore has
rushed for 5.81 yards per carry (YPC) over the past two weeks. He’s showing no
signs of slowing down at age 35 and is averaging just under 16 carries in his
last three games. He’s yet to score a TD this season but takes on the Bills in
Week 13, and they’ve yielded seven TDs to RBs in their last five games.Redskins
receiver Josh Doctson is finally healthy, and he caught six passes for 66 yards
with Washington QB Colt McCoy under center in Week 12. McCoy targeted Doctson 10
times and this week he faces a bruised and battered Eagles secondary. If Jamison
Crowder is forced to miss his eighth straight game look for Doctson to be
heavily targeted once again this week.Panthers WR D.J. Moore has 15
receptions
Jacksonville Jaguars Jerseys Stitched , 248 receiving yards and a TD in his last two games and takes on the Buccaneers in Week 13. They’re tied for giving up the
third-most fantasy points per game (FPPG) to WRs and the second-most receiving
TDs to the position. If Devin Funchess‘ cranky back forces him to miss a second
consecutive game, Moore should have another productive week.An already thin
fantasy TE position got even thinner with Jack Doyle of the Colts and Denver’s
Jeff Heuerman placed on injured reserve this week. Jets TE Chris Herndon has
provided fantasy owners with double digit fantasy points in four of his last six
games in point-per-reception (PPR) scoring formats. Unfortunately, he has a
tough matchup against the Titans who give up the least FPPG to the position.
Matt LaCosse, who takes over for Heuerman in Denver, had three catches for 34
yards and a TD in Week 12. He takes on the Bengals in Week 13. They’ve given up
the second most FPPG to TEs.WHAT STRATEGY IS BEST SUITED FOR LINEUP CONSTRUCTION
THIS LATE IN THE SEASON JUST BEFORE THE FANTASY PLAYOFFS?In most cases, you
should use the same strategy that has worked for you all season long. Start your
fantasy studs. For instance, this isn’t the week to consider sitting Falcons WR
Julio Jones just because the Ravens are extremely tough against WRs. Don’t
overthink things.WHAT ABOUT ROSTER MOVES?Your team’s roster may contain marginal
fantasy players you were forced to start in order to field a competitive team
through previous bye weeks. If you no longer intend to use those players,
replace them with players who could better help your team. The key words are
“marginal fantasy players.” You never want to drop a player that your
competitors can pick up off of the waiver wire and use against you. Be
especially careful of dropping RBs who are one injury away from becoming their
team’s primary back.WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO MANAGE TEAM DEFENSES GOING
FORWARD?With just about every team defense having struggled at some point this
season, streaming has been the way to go. The Bears have been the best fantasy
defense of 2018 but even they gave up more than 30 points two weeks in a row. If
you’re dropping a “marginal player” based on our advice in the previous section,
why not replace him with a second defense who has upcoming favorable matchups.
For instance, the Bills have scored the ninth most fantasy points among
defenses. Their next three opponents are top eight in FPPG allowed to opposing
fantasy defenses. Consider adding the Broncos defense who take on the 49ers in
Week 14 and the Raiders in Week 16 (championship week). Both opponents are top
five in FPPG allowed to fantasy defenses.WITH MELVIN GORDON POTENTIALLY OUT FOR
WEEKS AND AUSTIN EKELER ALREADY OWNED IN MOST LEAGUES DOES JUSTIN JACKSON HAVE
ANY FANTASY VALUE THIS WEEK?Although Jackson should be rostered
Ryquell Armstead Jersey 2019 , unless you play in an extremely deep league you should avoid starting him. Expect Ekeler to out-touch Jackson in Week 13, but if
Ekeler aggravates his neck injury or if Gordon misses more time than expected,
Jackson’s fantasy value could skyrocket.WITH JAGUARS RB LEONARD FOURNETTE
SERVING A ONE GAME SUSPENSION IS CARLOS HYDE A GOOD START IN WEEK 13?Hyde
appears to have a good matchup against the Colts who’ve given up the 12th most
FPPG to opposing RBs this season, but over their past four games they’ve limited
RBs to just 3.78 YPC. In Hyde’s four games with the Jaguars he’s averaging just
3.44 YPC and he’ll also have fellow RB T.J. Yeldon potentially stealing a few
carries from him as well. If you are in desperate need of a starting RB this
week you can take a chance on Hyde, but he’s a risky play.IS VIKINGS RB DALVIN
COOK STARTABLE GOING FORWARD?Cook has just 29 carries in his last three games,
and is averaging just 2.16 YPC over the past two weeks. Cook’s lack of volume
suggests that he may not be 100 percent healthy. Your fantasy season is probably
on the line. If you have a more reliable option at RB, use it.
