The Jacksonville Jaguars overcame a winless record in Week 7 when they defeated the Cleveland Browns. Their success was short-lived. The Jaguars fell to 1-7 after losing to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Blake Bortles made a slew of mistakes. He threw two pick-sixes and lost a fumble, and the Jaguars simply couldn't overcome the rookie's errors. The Dolphins didn't need to do much offensively to manage their 27-13 victory. We're here to pick apart the fantasy relevant performances that actually happened for Jaguars players.
Allen Robinson and Denard Robinson keep fantasy owners afloat in Week 8 loss to Dolphins
The Jaguars notched another loss to their record in Week 8. We take a look at the noteworthy fantasy performances.
Rob Foldy
Allen Robinson: Robinson caught five of his 10 targets for 82 yards and a touchdown. His score came with nearly two minutes left in the game. Much like Cecil Shorts in 2013, Robinson has been thriving in garbage time. In the world of fantasy football, that doesn't seem to matter. Robinson is a low-end WR3 with upside in PPR leagues. He'll continue to see plenty of targets throughout the season as the Jaguars play from behind.
Cecil Shorts III: Shorts caught three of his eight targets for 41 yards. Shorts hasn't caught more than three passes since Week 6, and he's proving to be an inconsistent option since returning from injury. He's a suitable desperation play if the match up warrants it, but fantasy owners should accept Shorts settling into a WR4 role on most weeks.
Denard Robinson: Denard Robinson rushed 18 times for 108 yards, adding one catch for 10 yards. Robinson has now eclipsed 100 yards in each of his two starts for Jacksonville. It's somewhat impressive considering the Jaguars played from behind for the entire game. Granted, Robinson gained 45 yards on several plays earlier in the game. Regardless, Robinson appears to have a firm grip on his position as the team's starter in the backfield. He's a solid RB2 against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 9.
