2 Jacksonville Jaguars named Week 13 fantasy football sleepers

Two Jacksonville Jaguars' players were mentioned among the fantasy football sleepers in Week 13 that "you need to pick up."

ESPN's Eric Moody recently highlighted five fantasy football sleepers for Week 13, and included were Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence and tight end Brenton Strange.

Lawrence threw three interceptions and lost a fumble last week, but he and the passing game were able to generate several chunk plays, with Lawrence also averaging 8.5 yards per pass attempt against Arizona, while throwing three touchdown passes as well.

On the year, Lawrence has completed 60% of his passes for 2,407 yards with 14 touchdowns to 11 interceptions.

The Jaguars face a Tennessee Titans' secondary that ranks 29th in yards per pass attempt allowed.

"Lawrence has provided steady low-end QB1 production since Week 1, averaging 18.0 fantasy points per game," wrote Moody. "He hasn't hit 300 passing yards yet this season, but that could change against a Titans defense that ranks in the middle of the pack in fantasy points allowed to quarterbacks. Lawrence is in a favorable spot here for managers who need QB."

Strange, meanwhile, returned to the lineup last week after missing several games on injured reserve.

Strange made an immediate impact, catching five passes for 93 yards. All season long, Strange has been a very reliable target for Lawrence, catching 86% of his 29 targets.

And while this won't show up on the stat sheet for Strange or impact his fantasy scores, he has been a key member of the Jaguars' run game success with his ability as a blocker.

Strange's versatility makes him a difficult matchup and helps create opportunities for him in the passing game.

"Strange returned from a monthlong hip injury in Week 12 and immediately reclaimed his role as the Jaguars' top pass catcher, leading Jacksonville with 93 yards against the Cardinals," Moody wrote. "He has had at least 59 yards in three of his six games this season, and he is important to the Jaguars' offense as a strong blocker. Strange is a low-end TE1 against the Titans."

Also mentioned as sleepers this week by Moody were Titans' WR Chimere Dike, Texans' WR Jayden Higgins, and Saints' RB Devin Neal.
