Despite not having a game during the 2016 season with at least 100 receiving yards, Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Allen Hurns is leading the team in this very category. With 300 receiving yards in five games, Hurns has 13 more total yards this year than fellow star Jaguars’ receiver Allen Robinson.

Even though he is the team’s leader in receiving yards so far in 2016, he has only caught one touchdown this season and only three in his last eight regular season games.
Fantasy Impact: Most fantasy owners should know by now that any receiver that matches up with the Oakland Raiders’ defense in 2016 has the potential to finish the game with some pretty impressive numbers.
This Sunday, Hurns and Jacksonville will have the privilege of facing off against the Raiders. So far this season, Oakland’s defense is giving up the fourth most fantasy points to opposing receivers, which includes six different pass catchers finishing a game with at least 100 receiving yards.
Yahoo! sees Hurns finishing Sunday with just four catches for 56 yards, but his matchup should be enough for most fantasy owners to keep him off the bench this weekend.
