![]() ![]() ![]() Kendre Miller appears unlikely to be involved. ![]() on Tuesday, we’ve received word that Jamaal Williams (hamstring) is likely to play against the Jaguars, probably as a change-of-pace complement and top backup for Alvin Kamara. Williams’ return would render Miller irrelevant on single-game DFS tournament slates. … Jamaal Williams (hamstring) is technically eligible to come off I.R. … Rookie Kendre Miller banked 16 touches in Week 5’s 34-0 blowout win over New England - doing almost all of his damage in garbage time - then handled just three touches in last Sunday’s one-score loss to the Texans. Jacksonville has conceded the NFL’s third-most running back catches (39), while Kamara ranks third at his position in receptions (23) despite missing the season’s first three games. While his efficiency leaves lots to be desired, Kamara’s bellcow usage is encouraging. … In three weeks since coming off suspension, Alvin Kamara has parlayed 25 touches per game into an average of 95 yards and 0.3 TDs. Carr has cleared 300 passing yards in just three of his last 18 starts. Per Josh Dubow of the Associated Press, Derek Carr enters Week 7 with his lowest passer rating (85.4) through six games since his 2014 rookie season, his fewest touchdown passes (5) six games in, and his fewest yards per dropback (5.5) at this stage of the year. I’m all over the Jaguars’ D/ST in Week 7. ![]() UPDATE: Saints RT Ryan Ramczyk (concussion), backup RT Landon Young (hip), and LG James Hurst (knee) all appear unlikely to play on Thursday night, while LT Trevor Penning has continued to struggle mightily, especially in pass protection. UPDATE: Saints MLB Demario Davis (knee) appears unlikely to face the Jaguars, upgrading Evan Engram‘s matchup. The Saints have allowed the NFL’s fifth-fewest catches (19) and third-fewest yards (171) to tight ends. … Evan Engram has seen at least seven targets in five straight games. 3 wideout in Jones’ Week 6 absence and would qualify as a single-game DFS sleeper should Zay sit again. … Return specialist Jamal Agnew operated as the Jags’ No. I’m still dialing up Kirk if Lawrence plays but fading him if Beathard starts. On the season, the Saints have yielded the NFL’s 11th-fewest catches (69), 10th-fewest yards (841), and 10th-fewest receiving TDs (5) to enemy wideouts. … Over Jacksonville’s last five games, Christian Kirk is averaging 9.2 targets for 6.4/75.0/0.4 receiving. … Zay Jones (knee) has missed three of the Jaguars’ last four games and was listed as no practice to begin this week. He’s also Jacksonville’s likeliest candidate for Saints top CB Marshon Lattimore’s shadow coverage enemy QBs have a putrid 55.0 passer rating when targeting Lattimore this year. … Calvin Ridley drew a year-high 34% target share in Week 6’s win over the Colts but has settled in as a boom-bust WR2 with 40 yards or fewer in four of six games and 100+ yards in the other two. You’re on your own throwing darts at Jaguars pass catchers should Beathard start. Jaguars third-round RB Tank Bigsby is averaging a mere 3.2 touches per game. Etienne’s monster weekly workloads and big-play capability keep him in high-end RB1 contention. The Saints have yet to permit a single running back touchdown while holding the position to 3.5 yards per carry. … Over his last five games, Travis Etienne is averaging 22.6 touches for 108 yards and 0.6 TDs. New Orleans’ D/ST is an enticing bet regardless. Even on the off chance Lawrence plays, I’d be out on him as a QB1 option. Only seven defenses have yielded fewer fantasy quarterback points than the Saints. Playing elite pass defense to date, New Orleans has held opponents to the NFL’s second-lowest completion rate (55.9%) and fifth-fewest yards per pass attempt (5.4) while banking the league’s second-most interceptions (8). Beathard, who’s attempted 15 passes over the past three seasons. Especially on a short week, signs point toward Trevor Lawrence (knee sprain) missing Thursday Night Football in favor of 2017 49ers third-round pick C.J. ![]()
