The Jaguars aren’t planning on resting players in Week 17 at Houston even though they have a huge game in Week 18 against Tennessee that will decide the AFC South. That’s great news for Fantasy managers because almost everyone in Jacksonville is worth starting against the Texans. <\/p>\n

“There is never a meaningless game,” coach Doug Pederson said Wednesday. “Never, ever, ever.” <\/p>\n

Trevor Lawrence is on fire coming into Week 17 with at least 24 Fantasy points in four of his past six starts and no game with fewer than 18 points over that span. He struggled against Houston in Week 5 with nine Fantasy points, but he’s playing too well right now to consider sitting. Just watching him over the past six games, you can see him becoming a star, and he looks in complete command of Pederson’s offense. <\/p>\n

A big reason for Lawrence’s success has been the play of Evan Engram, who has scored at least 14 PPR points in four games in a row, with two games north of 18 PPR points. He has become a must-start Fantasy tight end in all leagues, and he actually played well against the Texans in Week 5 with six catches for 69 yards on 10 targets. <\/p>\n

I’ll go back to Christian Kirk as a No. 2 Fantasy receiver in Week 17 even though he struggled in the rain and wind in Week 16 at the Jets with three catches for 22 yards on six targets. He also had a bad game in Week 5 against the Texans with one catch for 11 yards on three targets. But prior to Week 16, Kirk had scored at least 15 PPR points in two of his previous three games, and I’ll trust his connection with Lawrence enough to start him in this game. <\/p>\n

Zay Jones is more of a No. 3 Fantasy receiver, and he also struggled against the Jets in Week 16 (one catch for 14 yards on four targets) and against the Texans in Week 5 (three catches for 12 yards on eight targets). Again, I’ll trust Lawrence here to get Jones production in this matchup, and Jones had at least 14 PPR points in four of his past five games prior to Week 15, with 51 targets over that span. <\/p>\n
