Denver Broncos vs. Jacksonville Jaguars Matchup Preview (9/19/21): Betting Odds, Depth Charts, Live Stream (Watch Online)

The Jacksonville Jaguars got exposed in Week 1, losing 37-21 against the Houston Texans. Many thought Houston would be the worst, or at a bare minimum, second-worst, team in the NFL. Instead, they handled the Jags at home, and Trevor Lawrence dropped his first regular-season game in over a decade (possibly longer.) Where do the Jaguars go from here? It starts with getting their most successful player from last year, James Robinson, a lot more than five touches in a game. In his five rushing attempts, he gained 25 yards, which is quite efficient. In 14 games last year, Robinson rushed for 1,070 yards and caught 49 passes for 344 yards. The Jags have to find a balance between letting Trevor Lawrence unload his cannon on opposing defenses and keeping them honest by handing the ball off. If they want to win against a much better Broncos team, they can’t have any turnovers.

Denver Broncos vs. Jacksonville Jaguars Daily Fantasy Picks

Tim Patrick is a great value play in DFS in Week 2. Unfortunately, Jerry Jeudy went down with a high-ankle sprain in the game; however, now Patrick will be relied upon to step up in the passing game. He was already getting a significant amount of targets, even with Jeudy still on the field, so this should only increase his workload. His size at 6-foot-4 allows him to be a significant red-zone threat too. If last week told us anything, Courtland Sutton is still not 100% healthy after a knee injury last season. This makes Patrick a sort of WR1b in the Broncos’ offense for the foreseeable future, in my opinion. You can probably get him for WR3 value, and he will not be a super common pick, which gives your lineup even more upside. The Jaguars have an atrocious defense, so a touchdown or two is certainly not out of the question.

There are no Jaguars players I like in DFS this week, so there will be another Broncos pick. For the most part, Javonte Williams and Melvin Gordon split carries, but I can see Williams having a huge week. He got 14 carries in Week 1 against the Giants, and although he struggled a bit, that is a decent workload. The Jaguars will not put up any resistance so that he could have 100 yards this week. Also, Williams only caught one ball, which should change against the Jags. He should get at least 100 yards total and three or four receptions and get a touchdown. Play the matchup more than the player in this situation.
