Jacksonville Jaguars
With Cecil Shorts III (hamstring) not able to practice during the week and likely out for the game against the Titans, Allen Robinson will be the go-to guy in the Jaguars' passing game. Robinson notched a season-high 11 targets in last week's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but he was able to haul in only five passes. He is an athletic beast but has yet to catch a pass farther than 20 yards away from the line of scrimmage this season. The Titans don't exactly have an intimidating defense, but the Jaguars aren't a well-oiled machine offensively, so betting on Robinson's ability to be a top fantasy producer in Week 6 is quite the gamble. But at the same time, it could pay off big if he turns those targets into more catches.
If there is a reliable offensive weapon for the Jaguars, it would be rookie quarterback Blake Bortles, if just for the sheer fact that he would be producing based on a high volume of attempts against the Titans. He threw 36 passes last week, but managed only 191 passing yards. The Steelers' defense, however, is a notch above that of the Titans, which means Bortles could have the best game of his young career in Week 6.
Tennessee Titans
If Charlie Whitehurst draws the start for the Titans this week over injured quarterback Jake Locker (thumb), he will need plenty of help from his receivers in order to lead the team to its second win. Whitehurst's first option will be veteran tight end Delanie Walker, who has been the one reliable safety valve for the Titans' offense. Walker managed only four catches for 47 yards last week, and he will need to do better against a Jaguars team that is as bad as any in the NFL.
However, Whitehurst may have found himself another favorite target in wide receiver Justin Hunter. Hunter caught three passes for 99 yards and his first touchdown of the season last week against the Browns. Although he doesn't rack up a lot of receptions, he is a deep threat down the field, a trait no one else on the Titans' roster can offer. Hunter could be in for more looks against the Jaguars, who aren't stout when it comes to defending against the pass.
