Jacksonville Jaguars vs. New England Patriots: Fantasy Football Preview

In a highly anticipated Week 7 matchup, tight end Luke Farrell and the Jacksonville Jaguars are set to go up against the New England Patriots. The game is scheduled for Sunday, kicking off at 9:30 AM ET. The Patriots enter this contest with the 24th-ranked passing defense in the league, allowing an average of 228.5 yards per game.

Fantasy football enthusiasts are questioning whether Farrell should be considered for their lineups this week. An analysis of Farrell’s performance over the past weeks highlights some trends that could influence this decision.

During Week 2, when the Jaguars faced the Cleveland Browns, Farrell scored 3.3 fantasy points in a PPR (point per reception) format. He was targeted twice, catching both passes for a total of 13 yards. In the subsequent week against the Buffalo Bills, his performance dipped, recording only 1.1 fantasy points with one reception out of two targets, gaining a single yard.

Week 4 saw Farrell’s performance further declining against the Houston Texans, as he was targeted once but failed to secure the catch, resulting in zero fantasy points. However, in Week 5 against the Indianapolis Colts, he managed to slightly improve, earning 3.7 fantasy points. He achieved this with two receptions from two targets for 17 yards.

Given this performance trajectory and the Patriots’ ranking in passing defense, fans and fantasy managers are tasked with deciding Farrell’s viability in their lineups for the upcoming game.
