Records sack in season opener Allen had five tackles (three solo) and one sack during Sunday's 37-21 loss at Houston.
Impact It was Jacksonville's lone sack of the afternoon as Tyrod Taylor had an efficient day leading the Texans offense. Allen recorded only 2.5 sacks in eight games last season before going down with an injury, but he's off to a strong start in 2021.
SEPTEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Tallies nine tackles Jack had nine tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 37-21 loss to the Texans.
Impact Jack led Jacksonville in tackles during the season opener and should be expected to do so throughout the 2021 campaign. The 26-year-old set a career high with 118 tackles while adding one sack, one interception and one forced fumble in 14 games last season, and he should be a solid IDP option again this year.

Misses from long distance Lambo missed his lone field-goal attempt but converted all three PATs during Sunday's 37-21 loss to the Texans.
Impact Lambo was off target wide left on a 55-yard field-goal attempt during the first quarter, and that would be his only try of the day as Jacksonville faced a significant deficit much of the afternoon. The 30-year-old could see limited opportunities throughout the season if the Jaguars are unable to be more competitive.

Secures lone target Johnson caught his only target for six yards during Sunday's 37-21 loss to the Texans.
Impact Johnson and Jamal Agnew each played only nine snaps despite the fact Trevor Lawrence attempted 51 passes with Jacksonville trailing 27-7 at halftime. Johnson was claimed off waivers by the Jags after being waived by the Chargers at roster cutdowns, and he's unlikely to find much relevance in the offense while top wideouts DJ Chark, Marvin Jones and Laviska Shenault remain healthy.
SEPTEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Scores on lone target Manhertz caught his only target for a 22-yard touchdown during Sunday's 37-21 loss to Texans.
Impact The 29-year-old was expected to begin the season as the starting tight end after inking a two-year, $6.65 million deal in the offseason, but James O'Shaughnessy ended up receiving the nod. Manhertz played only 35 percent of the offensive snaps, but he still was able to secure the second touchdown of his career. He won't have much relevance in fantasy even if he takes over the starting role given the lack of receiving production throughout his career as he continues to work mostly as a blocker.
SEPTEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Operates as No. 1 tight end O'Shaughnessy started Sunday's 37-21 loss to the Texans and caught six of eight targets for 48 yards.
Impact The 29-year-old was expected to open the season as Jacksonville's No. 2 tight end after Chris Manhertz signed during the offseason, but O'Shaughnessy had a strong showing in the preseason to earn the starting nod. Manhertz did manage a touchdown on his lone target, but O'Shaughnessy played 80 percent of the offensive snaps and benefitted from the Jaguars facing a 24-point halftime deficit (Trevor Lawrence attempted 51 passes on the day). Regardless, it was an encouraging level of production for O'Shaughnessy after finishing 2020 with 28 receptions for 262 yards and zero scores while operating in a reserve role.
SEPTEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Leads team in receptions Shenault caught seven of nine passes for 50 yards and had one carry for nine yards during Sunday's 37-21 loss at Houston.
Impact Shenault was mostly involved in the underneath passing game, with his longest reception coming in at 14 yards. The 22-year-old showed a strong rapport with Trevor Lawrence, though DJ Chark and Marvin Jones clearly were the favorite downfield options for the rookie quarterback. Shenault should be consistently involved in the offense as somewhat of a safety valve, but he may need to rely on YAC in order to deliver significantly more receiving production.

Totals 58 scrimmage yards Hyde rushed nine times for 44 yards and caught both his targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 37-21 loss to the Texans.
Impact Hyde led Jacksonville's backfield with 11 touches Sunday, though only three of those came in the first half. James Robinson started at tailback but received only five carries as the Jaguars trailed from the start and were losing 27-7 heading into halftime. Hyde played only 34 percent of the offensive snaps and shouldn't be expected to see more playing time than that most weeks if Robinson remains healthy.
