Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence couldn't keep the momentum going after a promising 2022 season in terms of fantasy football as he ended the year as QB13 behind the likes of Baker Mayfield and Sam Howell.

However, from Week 11 onwards, Lawrence was QB7 in scoring so there's hope that he can continue his strong play once the 2024 season begins. He's got a plethora of weapons including new additions such as veteran Gabe Davis and rookie Brian Thomas Jr. at his disposal.

#4 - Brian Thomas Jr., WR

The Jaguars are hoping Brian Thomas Jr. can follow in the footsteps of both Justin Jefferson and Ja'Marr Chase and light up the NFL as rookies after being drafted out of LSU in round one of the NFL Draft.

Thomas had a fantastic final season with the Tigers amassing 1,177 yards on 68 receptions along with 17 TDs. If Thomas can carry that form into his debut NFL season, there's no reason he can't crack the top 30 in terms of fantasy football wide receivers.

#3 - Evan Engram, TE

Elite tight ends in fantasy football are hard to come by and Evan Engram has finally proven he can be one after only showing flashes during the early part of his career.

In half-point PPR scoring, Engram was TE6 in 2022 and TE2 in 2023 beating his previous single-season high in catches (114) by 41 receptions. He also had a career-high 963 receiving yards, but a career-low of 8.4 yards per reception.

He's become an excellent security blanket for QB Trevor Lawrence and there's no reason this shouldn't continue in 2024.

#2 - Christian Kirk, WR

Speaking of Trevor Lawrence's favorite targets, wideout Christian Kirk will serve as the Jaguars' WR1 in fantasy football, as well as in real life in 2024.

Kirk was having an excellent season last year before it was derailed by injury. He was WR19 in fantasy points per game between Weeks 2-12 and also garnished a 22% target share. Kirk totaled 787 yards and four touchdowns in just seven starts last season.

TE Evan Engram didn't break out until Kirk was sidelined, so expect the wideout to serve as the Jaguars' top pass-catcher, and at an ADP of #69 overall, he could be the steal of your fantasy draft.

#1 - Travis Etienne, RB

Running back Travis Etienne should be seen as the Jacksonville Jaguars' best fantasy football option for 2024.

In 2023, he ended the year as RB3 in half-PPR scoring after amassing 325 touches with 1,484 total yards and 12 total touchdowns. His 58 receptions were the sixth-most in the NFL for running backs, displaying his elite dual-threat ability.

With backup Tank Bigsby not close to taking meaningful touches away from Etienne, at least in 2024, draft the former Clemson star with confidence.
