Will the Jacksonville Jaguars take a step forward in the second year of the Trevor Lawrence era? There are some intriguing pieces in Duval, with running back Travis Etienne now healthy, and Marvin Jones and free-agent addition Christian Kirk filling out the receiving corps. The Jags are listed at +750 to win the AFC South according to DraftKings Sportsbook.
As the Jaguars trim their roster ahead of the Aug. 30 deadline, they also need to figure out who is going to be their kicker. As of Aug. 26, undrafted free-agent rookie James McCourt, added off waivers from the Chargers earlier this week, is the only kicker on the current roster.
Here, we’ll keep track of roster cuts for the Jaguars and what it means for the betting and fantasy football landscape ahead of the 2022 NFL season.
