Trevor Lawrence spearheads Jacksonville's Week 1 plan, with six captains announced for the season: Trevor Lawrence, Robert Hainsey, Foye Oluokun, Josh Hines-Allen, Jourdan Lewis, and Logan Cooke. A rotating game captain adds leadership on gameday, underscoring a disciplined, high-floor offense and a defense anchored by Oluokun and the front-line depth. The Panthers stand in Week 1 as the test and the fantasy lens centers on Lawrence's ceiling and Cooke's field-position leverage.

Arik Armstead’s length and pass-rush acumen are highlighted as a matchup concern for a Jacksonville interior, while Armstead’s experience and snaps could sap some guards’ early traction. The six captains signal stability for the offense, the defense, and special teams, shaping Week 1 expectations—especially Lawrence’s volume against a Panthers unit that will aim to keep drives short and punting to Cooke a staple of the Jaguars’ game plan.

Expect a measured, process-driven opener that leans on Lawrence’s quick decision-making, Hainsey’s protection, and Oluokun’s tackling loom. The Panthers present a stern test, but the Jaguars’ leadership across units provides a foundation for a strong fantasy floor in Week 1.
