Draft Note by Spencer Babbitt
Week 6 vs. Miami Dolphins
Laviska Shenault only managed one catch in Week 5, but he made the most of it by breaking multiple tackles and rumbling for 58 yards before going down. Shenault's YAC skills are intriguing and he should be getting more looks in the weak Jacksonville offense, but as we've seen many times before simply because a player should be touching the ball more does not mean they necessarily will. Shenault probably has the best matchup of any Jaguar pass catcher in Week 6 with Xavien Howard likely following Marvin Jones all over the field, but the volatile nature of the roles and usage in Urban Meyer's offense make any skill player other than James Robinson a risky start in fantasy.

Draft note
Shenault posted 58-600-5 on 79 targets in 14 games as a rookie. He was the No. 47 fantasy receiver and was fifth in fantasy scoring among 2020 rookie receivers. He reportedly has created a buzz among Jacksonville’s new coaching staff this offseason, and was called the “best offensive player” at OTAs by ESPN’s Michael DiRocco. Shenault has some target competition (D.J. Chark, Marvin Jones, Travis Etienne) and early indications are that the Jaguars may go pretty run-heavy to protect Trevor Lawrence in his rookie season. This probably doesn’t add up to a breakout season for Shenault, but anything is possible.
