Dede Westbrook

Week 9 vs. Houston Texans
Heading into last week’s contest with the Jets, Dede Westbrook was questionable with a shoulder injury. While he was able to play, he saw just one target and left with neck and should injuries. While Westbrook traveled with the Jaguars to London for Sunday’s divisional contest with Houston, his status may not be known until closer to game time. Luckily the game kicks off early, so be sure to monitor the injury report, as he’d have a good matchup against a poor Texans pass defense.

Week 7 at Cincinnati Bengals
The Saints did a good job shutting down the Jaguars offense last Sunday, as Gardner Minshew threw for only 163 yards. In the loss Dede Westbrook saw team-leading targets, resulting in three receptions for 53 yards. Westbrook has recorded at least 50 yards in three straight games but has not found the end zone since Week 1. The Bengals defense hasn’t been able to slow down any of their opponents, especially on the ground. Look for Jacksonville to use a heavy dose of Leonard Fournette, which could limit Westbrook’s output.

Week 5 at Carolina Panthers
With Leonard Fournette running over the Broncos last Sunday Gardner Minshew threw for just over 200 yards. Dede Westbrook was targeted six times and led the Jaguars with five grabs and 66 yards. He has snagged exactly five passes in all but one contest this season but has totaled just 145 yards and no TDs. Westbrook will be facing the top pass defense on the road this week, so he’s a WR3 option at best.
