Despite top scorer Burrow, Jacksonville JAGUARS fall to Baltimore Ravens in 259.18-147.54 rout
Jacksonville JAGUARS had the No. 1 scorer in the matchup with QB Joe Burrow racking up 30.54 points, the eighth-highest total in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to defeat Baltimore Ravens, who rolled to a 259.18-147.54 victory. Jacksonville JAGUARS grabbed a 0.54-point lead on Thursday, but it was all Baltimore Ravens after that. They were led by Tyler Higbee (5 Rec, 54 Rec Yds, 3 Rec TDs) and Julian Edelman (8 Rec, 179 Rec Yds). Joe Burrow (316 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs, 19 Rush Yds) and Younghoe Koo (4-4 FG, 42 long, 3-3 XP) did everything they could for Jacksonville JAGUARS in the loss. Baltimore Ravens (2-0) will look to sustain their winning ways against Houston Texans, while Jacksonville JAGUARS (0-2) face Washington 🏈 Team in an effort to develop some positive momentum.

Jacksonville JAGUARS
It's entirely possible that Jacksonville JAGUARS would be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating only 22 total targets this past week, their six starting pass-catchers (four WR, two TE) apparently made most of their contributions by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
