Jacksonville signals a heavy, matchup-driven plan at middle linebacker in Week 1. Devin Lloyd and Ventrell Miller will split the snaps, with each bringing a distinct forte, while Travis Etienne and Tank Bigsby loom as a heavy backfield duo. Bhayshul Tuten also in the mix, creating a four-man rotation that shifts based on in-game situations.

For fantasy managers, the plan means upside and uncertainty in IDP and in Jaguars backfield projections. Lloyd’s run-stopping chops and Miller’s coverage presence offset a potentially volatile early-down role, while Etienne, Bigsby, and Tuten complicate volume forecasts for Week 1, making matchup-based decisions key.
