Jacksonville hosts Kansas City in a high-stakes MNF, with Worthy’s status adding a layer of uncertainty to KC’s passing game. The Jaguars’ defense and secondary could influence Chiefs’ target distribution, elevating the importance of game-script and matchup-specific plays for both teams’ fantasy considerations.

Jaguars are referenced as a prior Week 2 opponent for Cincinnati, used to frame Bengals’ recent struggles. The comparison underscores Packers’ opportunity to exploit Cincinnati’s weaknesses and emphasizes how Green Bay’s offense could gain confidence against a defensively versatile opponent.

Jacksonville’s Monday-night test against Kansas City is a barometer for growth under Lawrence, needing four quarters of disciplined execution to overcome a historically dominant KC team and make a statement toward 2025.

Lawrence views Spagnuolo’s defense as chaotic but sound, emphasizing patience and full-game discipline. He aims to avoid heroic plays, instead executing a steady, 60-minute plan to test KC’s rotations and pressure schemes.

Jaguars’ return unit showcases Parker Washington, LeQuint Allen Jr., and Bhayshul Tuten, with Heath Farwell orchestrating a fast, disciplined cover and return game that challenges KC on field position.
