Jacksonville-jaguars
According to the Florida Times Union, Jaguars receiver Mike Thomas is now fifth on the depth chart after Justin Blackmon, Laurent Robinson, Lee Evans and second-year player Cecil Shorts.Fantasy Spin:Thomas was further proof last season that simply being the team's No. 1 option in the passing game doesn't automatically equal fantasy success.

Plaxico Burress & Terrell Owens: A Good Fit for the Jaguars?

THE PROBLEM: Justin Blackmon is not the solution at wide receiver. As painful as wasting a first-round draft pick might sound, the Jaguars should cut their losses and get rid of wide receiver Justin Blackmon.  With his second DUI, it’s clear that he’s heading down a troubled road like Pac- Man Jones and Dez Bryant did.  Additionally, Blackmon’s ongoing contract holdout places...
