Allen Hurns Week 2 vs Redskins
Allen Hurns started off with a bang, catching two first quarter TD passes last week. But he had just one reception on five targets in the final three quarters. If Cecil Shorts is able to go this week, Hurns' production could take a tumble, though the hamstring injury to Marquise Lee in practice this week means Hurns will likely still get his looks. Just don't expect 100 yards and a pair of scores every week. He's worth a shot as a flex this week, but not much more.
Allen Hurns Week 1 vs. Eagles
Undrafted rookie Allen Hurns was the star of the Jaguars preseason and he'll get a chance to play right away with Ace Sanders suspended. But rookie receivers often have their struggles. Hurns is going to get plenty of opportunities with everyone else either suspended or injured. The Jags figure to trail in this game, so that could mean a decent amount of targets. But not enough to make Hurns anything more than a low-end flex option.
Fantasy Upside
Undrafted, Allen Hurns has taken advantage of injuries to other receivers to not only carve out a roster spot, but a possible role with the Jaguars.
Fantasy Downside
Hurns could be a flash in the pan. Plus, the Jaguars aren't exactly an offensive juggernaut.
Bottom Line
Hurns had 13 receptions for 230 yards in three preseason games. With Ace Sanders suspended to open the season and Allen Robinson a no-show due to injury in the preseason, Hurn has shined. He'll likely open as Jacksonville's No. 3 receiver.
