Devin Lloyd’s calf issue after the Week 6 loss to Seattle has Jacksonville weighing Week 7 against the Rams. Lloyd played the first half, then tightened up at halftime and was pulled for Ventrell Miller, with coaches cautiously testing Lloyd’s readiness for the next test. If Lloyd can’t go, Miller slots into the lineup next to Oluokun, a familiar and productive pairing for run defense and coverage.

Tight ends Brenton Strange and Quintin Morris are both being evaluated for an abductor issue, adding a layer of uncertainty to the Jaguars’ Week 7 plan. With the bye on the horizon, Jacksonville hopes the extra time accelerates healing, but the upcoming game will hinge on Lloyd’s availability and how Miller handles extended responsibilities with a playoff push in mind.

Week 6 snap counts show LeQuint Allen edging Bhayshul Tuten 18-11 as Jacksonville leaned into a pass-heavy script while trailing Seahawks. Travis Hunter featured heavily on offense (58 of 74) and saw limited defense (22 snaps) in a game with more three-linebacker looks. Devin Lloyd logged only 15 snaps due to tightness, with Ventrell Miller stepping in for 29. Travon Walker was limited in his return, playing 16 snaps. In TE usage, Hunter Long handled 59 snaps with Johnny Mundt at 29 after Brenton Strange was sidelined.

Fantasy angles: Allen’s bigger role in pass-driven drives supports continued PPR upside, while Hunter’s versatility makes him a weekly opportunity in multiple formations. Long’s heavy TE workload in Strange’s absence boosts two-TE sets; monitor Walker’s ramp and Lloyd’s health for full-season projections as Jacksonville mixes schemes and personnel.

Devin Lloyd’s September surge earns him AFC Defensive Player of the Month after a four-takeaway blast in four games. The Jaguars have turned Lloyd into a defensive cornerstone, threading his playmaking into their scheme and elevating Jacksonville’s turnover upside. His ability to chase plays and produce in coverage and the rush has fantasy managers eyeing a volatile, high-floor LB with frequent mistake-forces.

He capped the stretch with an eight-tackle, two-interception outing and already sits atop turnover charts among his peers, matching franchise legend Rashean Mathis for four takeaways in four games. With seven career INTs, Lloyd’s ceiling feels season-long and dynasty-worthy as Jacksonville leans into his growth and the defense’s momentum.
