In fantasy football, certainty is King in the early rounds of drafts. But with certainty also comes a heafty price tag. The Jacksonville Jaguars’ roster offers some of the NFL’s most compelling mid-to-late round fantasy values heading into the 2026 season. An extremely crowded skill position room, paired with an unsettled backfield could make roster construction in coming fantasy drafts an extremely balanced tight rope walk for fantasy managers looking to find the right combination of targets from this Jacksonville roster.
Here is our position-by-position breakdown of the top fantasy-relevant Jacksonville Jaguars and where the market currently has them priced.

With that 2025 year-one proof of concept on tape, yet just enough national distrust to lower his overall draft value, he could represent a genuine value at his current eighth round price in single-quarterback formats heading into Year 2 of the Liam Coen system.
2025 Trevor Lawrence
However, with NFL quarterbacks, the schedule can often heavily impact perception and performance. And similar to their 2025 schedule, the 2026 Jaguars, lead by Lawrence will have to first overcome a gauntlet before their week seven bye week to enter the easiest stretch of their schedule. Following that bye, Lawrence has the easiest fantasy schedule for quarterbacks. Should he struggle early on, ttat could make him a possible week 4-5 trade candidate for those unable to draft him in the coming month.

Bhayshul Tuten currently sits at an overall pick of 61, making him the RB25 and a sixth round pick. Meanwhile, Chris Rodriguez Jr, the...
