Fantasy Takeaways from Jaguars Week 1 Win vs. Panthers

Jacksonville got plenty of offense against Carolina, garnering 378 total yards on 10 drives, finishing with two touchdowns, four field goals, and one turnover. Here are the most important fantasy football takeaways from the Jaguars' W over the Panthers.

Jaguars have several solid fantasy options

1. Trevor Lawrence will be fine

Trevor Lawrence may not have had the electric debut in Head Coach Liam Coen's offense that many were expecting, but he did exactly what he had to do to get the win. His one turnover came on an insane one-handed grab from Jaycee Horn at the peak of his vertical while backpedaling.

T-Law finished with just 178 yards on 17-of-31 passing with one touchdown to one interception. The Jaguars will likely cut down on the drops and improve on third downs as they progress in Coen's system. I wouldn't give up on Lawrence's potential as a high-ceiling fantasy QB2.

2. Brian Thomas Jr. will get going

Brian Thomas Jr. was the culprit on multiple drops for the Jaguars, a recurring problem for him from last season and this past training camp. However, it was encouraging to see Coen go out of his way to try to get his WR1 going. BTJ should return to being an elite fantasy wideout soon.

3. Travis Hunter Jr. could be a rookie fantasy star

Thomas Jr. may have struggled, but Travis Hunter Jr. made his presence felt right away. He only finished with 33 yards and didn't find the end zone, but he grabbed six balls on the day with eight targets.

He was also used pretty sparingly on defense, confirming his role as an offensive weapon first for this Jaguars team. He projects to be a PPR and YAC monster as a possession receiver in Coen's scheme.

4. Travis Etienne Jr. is back

Travis Etienne Jr. was by far the best offensive player for the Jaguars in their season debut, finishing with 156 yards from scrimmage with 16 carries and three catches. As advertised, Jacksonville did use all of their running backs, but ETN was easily the lead back in Week 1. After that performance, he should continue to get the bulk of the workload until someone else earns it.

5. Brenton Strange is a thing

There was a lot of talk about first-year starter Brenton Strange becoming a legitimate fantasy tight end this season. He proved why against Carolina, catching all four of his targets for 59 yards. Clearly, he's a feature part of this offense and could have had a truly monstrous debut if fellow tight end Hunter Long didn't get the lone touchdown catch of the day instead.
