Trevor Lawrence's development in Liam Coen's offense is creating optimistic playoff potential for Jacksonville in 2025. In the preseason he was efficient (14-for-17 for 119 yards with a TD) and operated the offense cleanly, progressing through reads and attacking the middle of the field. The system's multiplicity should keep defenses off balance and ease Lawrence's load, while a retooled running game opens opportunities in the pass game. On defense, Campanile's vision-based coverage, plus added pass-rush talent, aims for more pressure and more takeaways. If both units improve, Jacksonville can push into the postseason mix in 2025.

Key roster shifts bolster that case: a reshaped line and added playmakers, plus a more aggressive defensive front featuring Emmanuel Ogbah and Dawuane Smoot, with Arik Armstead moving inside and Maason Smith showing year-two potential. The offense is designed to put playmakers in space, reducing the burden on Lawrence and broadening the high-leverage, fantasy-friendly targets. If the run game clicks and the defense creates more chaos, Jacksonville's playoff ceiling rises substantially in 2025.

Bottom line: Lawrence's steady progression, a smarter, more versatile offense, and a defense that can pressure, force turnovers, and stay in games give the Jaguars a credible playoff trajectory next season.

Liam Coen signaled a final roster battle in Jacksonville as cutdowns loom, pitting Danny Striggow against BJ Green for the Jaguars’ fifth defensive end spot behind Walker, Smoot, Ogbah and Hines-Allen. Striggow has four pressures and a sack in two preseason games; Green has seven pressures, three tackles, and a sack in the Miami game. The winner’s path hinges on more than box scores, with Tuesday’s 53-man limit looming and the team weighing upside against immediate depth needs.

Jacksonville faces a calculated decision that could ripple the edge rotation and fantasy DL value early in the season. The outcome will determine how the Jaguars hedge the pass rush as they balance development with the push to remain competitive in September.

Travis Hunter's camp-tracker shows a two-way rookie making waves with Jacksonville. He logged a camp-high 27 plays on offense and defense, including four receptions, two of them on clean outs from Trevor Lawrence. Workload has expanded across practices, moving from single-side reps to a genuine dual-role presence.

In team periods, Hunter totaled 20 offensive snaps (4 targets, 4 receptions) and 7 defensive snaps. Preseason against Pittsburgh added 10 offensive snaps with 2 catches for 9 yards and 8 defensive snaps, with Dawuane Smoot’s left-edge pressure producing a sack on one play. The Jaguars are clearly testing how far Hunter can stretch both ways before the season.

Fantasy managers should watch how the role evolves. If Jacksonville keeps rotating him into gadget looks and cross-training him, his upside could creep higher even as Kirk and Jones anchor the primary receiving corps. The early signals are promising, but meaningful lineup value will hinge on continued usage in practice and the preseason grind.
