Jaguars vs. Saints: 3 Things learned from Jacksonville's performance

Jacksonville used Week 2 of the preseason to lay out a clear three-part message for fantasy managers. Trevor Lawrence looked surgical, carving up the Saints with quick reads and accurate balls while the offensive line bought him time and the running backs chipped in solid rushes. The lone blemish was a handoff fumble, but the overall feel was efficient and repeatable.

Parker Washington reinforced the idea he’ll have a role this season, catching both Lawrence targets for 19 yards and a touchdown, and showing the versatility to line up inside and outside. He stood out even with Brown and Hunter in the mix, signaling snaps on the outside this year as well as in the slot the Liam Coen scheme demands.

Defensively, Jacksonville pivoted to a noticeably more aggressive approach in 2025. They pressed more at the second level, with Kiser, Miller, and Wingard among the players delivering QB hits. Expect more blitzes, simulated pressures, and movement up front, aimed at creating better matchups and more disruption for opposing offenses.

In fantasy terms, Lawrence remains a solid baseline with upside if the line holds. Washington’s breakout vibe matters for deeper leagues, while the defense’s push could translate into more sacks and pressure-driven fantasy points, especially in IDP formats or weekly streaming of Jacksonville’s unit against weaker lines.

With Trevor Lawrence showing Week 2 efficiency, which Jaguars pass-catchers should fantasy managers prioritize entering Week 1?Is Trevor Lawrence’s Week 2 efficiency enough to endorse him as a reliable QB2 with upside in standard leagues early this season?Given Jacksonville’s defensive blitz emphasis, which Jaguars defender seems poised for spike weeks in the IDP format?What impact might Parker Washington’s Week 2 role have on weekly fantasy lineups for the Jaguars?
