Laviska Shenault Jr and the rest of the Jacksonville Jaguars' offense will look to get off to a fast start this weekend when they welcome to Arizona Cardinals to sunny Florida.

Fantasy Football analysis: Jaguars WR Laviska Shenault Jr.
The Jags second-year wideout was projected to be a pretty solid sleeper pick in fantasy drafts this offseason. Through two games, it hasn’t materialized though with just 47 yards and no scores on the year.
But there is a bright spot: he’s getting a lot of targets. His 17 targets through two weeks is in the top-20 in the league at his position. Targets mean everything when considering dropping a player, especially this early on in the season while trying to develop chemistry with a rookie QB.
