JAX WR Keelan Cole - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. Tennessee Titans

With Blake Bortles throwing for 377 yards last Sunday versus the Pats, Keelan Cole snagged seven passes for 116 yards and a TD. Everything seemed to be going Jacksonville’s way, including the spectacular one-handed grab by Cole. He has 170 yards the first two games and will be facing a Titans defense ranked 18th versus the pass so far.

JAX WR Keelan Cole - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. New England Patriots

In the win over the Giants in Week 1, Keelan Cole led Jacksonville with 54 receiving yards on three catches. Most of his yardage total came on a 31-yard reception in the first quarter. Blake Bortles threw for only 176 yards in the opener and will likely need to have a better game at home versus the Patriots, especially with Leonard Fournette nursing a sore hamstring. Cole should be used as a WR3/flex play on Sunday.

JAX WR Keelan Cole - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at New York Giants

Last season, Keelan Cole caught 42 passes for 748 yards and scored 3 times. While these numbers are very average for an NFL receiver, they are all highs for a returning Jacksonville pass-catcher. As the No. 1 Jaguars WR, Cole should see more than the five targets he averaged last season, but the success of the offense will come from the legs of Leonard Fournette. Cole is considered a WR3/flex option, at best.

JAX WR Keelan Cole - 2018 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
As SBNation.com noted, the Jaguars' passing game was efficient last year -- not overly productive, but good enough to get the job done on most weeks. Nearly every statistical category hovered around the middle of the league, whether it was their 224.5 yards per game (17th), the 7.1 yards per attempt (13th), or the 21 touchdowns (20th). But what wasn't even average was the number of targets that each of the Jaguars' receivers saw last season. Marqise Lee led the Jaguars with just 96 targets, good for 39th in the league. Cole had 81, tied for 66th in the league. In general, given opportunities, Cole demonstrated the ability to make plays and he added speed to a receiving corps that needed it.

Fantasy Downside
This year, with the addition of Donte Moncrief and the emergence of Cole and Dede Westbrook late last season -- and a second-round pick spent on D.J. Chark, the pool of targets is going to be even more spread out.

2018 Bottom Line
The Jaguars are built to be run heavy. So while the Jaguars' receiving corps seems more than sufficient as a group, it's going to be hard to count on any of them for consistent weekly production. The good news? Cole's price is right.

JAX WR Keelan Cole - Week 20 Fantasy Football Outlook

AFC Conference Championship at New England Patriots

Keelan Cole caught just 1 pass last week on 2 targets, but it was a 45-yard bomb. Will the Jags trust Blake Bortles enough to try a shot or two against the Patriots? That remains to be seen. But Cole is speedy enough to be worth a shot if you're hoping for a high-upside play on a long touchdown.

JAX WR Keelan Cole - Week 19 Fantasy Football Outlook

Divisional Round at Pittsburgh Steelers

Keelan Cole failed to catch a pass last week against Buffalo as the entire Jacksonville passing attack was grounded because of the struggles of Blake Bortles. Cole had some big games for the Jaguars down the stretch but it's tough to count on anyone in this passing game given how bad Bortles has looked in recent weeks. He's a low-end WR3 option.

JAX WR Keelan Cole - Week 18 Fantasy Football Outlook

Wild Card Round vs. Buffalo Bills

Keenan Cole's nice run of games ended last week as he managed just 4 catches for 33 yards. Allen Hurns' return cut into some of his production, especially on some of the deeper passes. But Blake Bortles' struggles also played a factor. The Jaguars don't figure to throw the ball a lot in this game, making Cole a lower-end secondary play at the WR position.
