Team news: Jacksonville Jaguars

Jaguars are giving former Lions' WR Marvin Jones a two-year, $14.5 million deal, including $9.2 million fully guaranteed, per source.

I figured Jones would sign with a contender, not with a team in rebuilding mode, but money talks, and the Jaguars have a lot to spend. Even at 31, Jones is a solid weapon for (likely) future No. 1 overall pick Trevor Lawrence. He posted 76-978-9 last season, and benefited from the extended absence of Kenny Golladay. In Jacksonville, he'll join a receiving corps that already features D.J. Chark and Laviska Shenault. The Jaguars also added Phillip Dorsett yesterday. Fantasy-wise Jones will be in the WR4/WR5 mix as a low-volume threat in the Jacksonville passing game.

Former Seahawks' RB Carlos Hyde reached agreement with the Jaguars on a two-year, $6 million deal, per source.

Carlos Hyde will join James Robinson in the Jaguars' backfield on a two-year deal worth $6 million. He's reunited with former Ohio State coach Urban Meyer.

WR Phillip Dorsett is signing with the Jaguars, per source. Urban Meyer wants speed and gets it.

On IR for all of last season in Seattle, Phillip Dorsett will join his fourth NFL team in 2021, after stints with the Colts, Patriots and Seahawks. Head coach Urban Meyer gets another speedy weapon to add to his talented arsenal.

Marvin Jones wants a chance to win a championship, and with the Detroit Lions entering rebuilding mode, that makes a return to Detroit unlikely when Jones hits free agency next month.

Jones said Thursday on SiriusXM NFL radio that “nothing’s off the table” as far as where he plays next season, but that a chance to win a Super Bowl is high on his list of priorities.

“At this point in my career, that’s what I want,” Jones said.

As an unrestricted free agent, it appears Marvin Jones is seeking employment outside of Detroit. He posted a respectable 76-978-9 line in the Lions' anemic offense in 2020, and should garner some looks when free agency opens on March 17.

Seahawks RB Carlos Hyde is questionable with a non-COVID related illness, according to John Boyle of the Seattle Seahawks.

Hyde has been the primary backup for Seattle and would be a schematic loss while the Seahawks try to lock in the top seed in the NFC.

Jaguars WR D.J. Chark will not play Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Can we all agree to forget Chark's 2020 and look forward? The next time we see the talented wideout, he should be receiving throws from QB Trevor Lawrence.

Jaguars Head Coach Doug Marrone announced that running back James Robinson will sit out Week 17 with his ankle injury.

Robinson had a spectacular rookie season. Signed to the Jaguars as an undrafted free agent, Robinson racked up over 1,400 total yards and ten touchdowns in 14 games. Robinson's emergence was one of the great surprises of the fantasy season, and his arrow is pointing up for 2021 with Trevor Lawrence expected to take over under center in Jacksonville next season.

Jaguars RB James Robinson (ankle) will not play in Week 16 against the Bears.

Robinson missed all week of practice and was listed as questionable for Sunday. Dare Ogunbowale and Devine Ozigbo are behind Robinson on the depth chart. It’s looking like a long day on offense for the Jaguars with Mike Glennon starting at quarterback. The Jags have their sights set on Trevor Lawrence.
