Week 5 unfolds Monday Night Football as Jacksonville hosts Kansas City in a high-stakes clash. Devin Lloyd’s breakout has the Jaguars’ defense buzzing, leading the league with three interceptions in four games and fueling DP0Y chatter if the trend continues. Jacksonville’s interior O-line is quietly thriving, while Trevor Lawrence navigates Spagnuolo’s two-high shells in search of explosive plays. Add Worthy’s KC speed and a Chris Jones-led interior surge, and the game doubles as a bold fantasy chess match.

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.

Devin Lloyd’s Week 4 breakout fuels a Jaguars surge. Eight tackles (six solo), two interceptions, a tackle for a loss and four takeaways this season propelled him to AFC Defensive Player of the Week for the first time. Jacksonville’s ball-hawking, pursuit-heavy defense is clicking, and Lloyd’s playmaking is at the center of it.

The win over San Francisco showcased a defense ready to carry the offense, with Lloyd’s rapid ascent highlighted by praise from teammates and the franchise’s note that he leads the NFL in takeaways in 2025. A rising unit with Lloyd as a catalyst could redefine fantasy angles for IDP managers in 2025 and beyond.
