Team news: Jacksonville Jaguars

The 0-5 Jacksonville Jaguars appear to have figured out that running back James Robinson is their best offensive player.

The next step is getting him even more work – especially in crucial situations.

The story pointed out that Robinson wasn't on the field at a key point in the game: After a defensive holding penalty gave the Jaguars a first-and-goal from the Tennessee 5-yard line with 10:55 to play in the fourth quarter and the Jaguars trailing 31-19. A touchdown would have made it a one-score game. JRob finished with 149 yards on 18 carries and a TD but the team opted to have Hyde on the field in that situation and he took a three-yard loss. The good news is after not using Robinson much in the first two games, the Jaguars have corrected that issue.

D.J. Chark (ankle) will be placed on IR on Monday, John Shipley of SI.com reports.

Chark fractured his ankle against the Bengals during Thursday night of Week 4. He'll be out for the season, leaving the Jags top targets as Jones and Shenault. QB Trevor Lawrence could look toward newly-acquired TE Arnold more as well. Johnson and Agnew are next up at the WR position.

James Robinson is, apparently, back.

The Jacksonville Jaguars finally got the second-year running back going in Sunday’s 31-19 loss to the Arizona Cardinals at TIAA Bank Field. He ran for 88 yards and a touchdown and caught six passes for 46 yards in his most significant work of the season.

In the Jaguars' first two games, Robinson had just 16 carries for 72 yards and caught six passes for 46 yards, including only five carries for 25 yards in the season-opening road loss to the Houston Texans. He got more work in Week 2 – 11 carries for 47 yards – but that still wasn’t enough work considering he was averaging 4.5 yards per carry. Perhaps the best news is HC Urban Meyer was quoted as saying, “Yeah, those guys [Robinson and Hyde] are running hard, and we're going to continue to get them the ball.” The team takes on the Bengals and Titans but the story said Robinson's workload should increase.

Last week, Panthers coach Matt Rhule called TE Tommy Tremble, "this year’s Jeremy Chinn.” In what looks like a really strong Carolina draft, Tremble is standing out. Now, more time to shine with Dan Arnold headed to Jacksonville.

Tremble had a rushing TD and also caught one pass for 30 yards Thursday night. Arnold, headed to Jacksonville as part of a trade for CB C.J. Henderson from the Jags, caught 2-23-0 on Thursday night, but the trade now clears more of a path for Tremble to be a factor. In Jacksonville, Rapoport said Arnold could become a top target for QB Trevor Lawrence and the Jags were interested in Arnold in the offseason during free agency.

Jaguars TE James O'Shaughnessy has been placed on IR because of a high ankle sprain.

O'Shaughnessy had an excellent start to his season prior to the injury and will now miss at least three weeks. Jacob Hollister was brought in to compete for snaps and will more than likely make his Jags debut Week 3.

It's a high ankle sprain for TE James O'Shaughnessy.

Reports indicate Manhertz and Farrell could split reps which would damage both fantasy values. Hollister is also on the roster and could also be a factor in the end. With a high ankle sprain, he'll likely miss a few weeks. O'Shaughnessy was getting some value when healthy so if he hits the wire he may be worth a pickup, especially in deeper leagues.

Jaguars’ WR Laviska Shenault, who injured his shoulder during Sunday’s loss to Denver, is expected to be able to play Sunday at home vs. Arizona, per Urban Meyer.

Shenault was forced out of Sunday's loss to the Broncos but reports say he's expected to practice this week. Shenault drew seven targets before leaving but finished with two catches for -3 yards.

A 66% route rate for James Robinson in the opener.

His usage was more encouraging than the box score.

Related players: Carlos Hyde

A look at the boxscore was pretty depressing for Robinson owners as he collected eight touches to Hyde's 11. So this is at least a little bit of encouraging news. The hope is the Jags see the same stats and realize Robinson needs to be more of a factor. Robinson also had 64% of the overall snaps to Hyde's 34%.

Looks like WR D.J. Chark is back 100 percent from broken finger. Urban Meyer praised his catching and overall effort in practice Monday.

Chark underwent surgery for a hairline fracture in his finger in early August. He was expected to be ready to go Week 1 and that looks to be the case.
