Jacksonville Jaguars Fan Forums

Disclaimer: I have no interest in fantasy football or NFL video games. Just give me real football  to watch or read stories about and I am happy. I also am not interested in  each player's statistics and betting lines for each game. For me the statistics sheet means little or nothing without visual context

 

With that out of the way, here is the strict limit I want to focus on: What the fantasy players say about Jaguars players in terms of gaining popularity and moving up the ranks. For example, we got excited about at least two players (Bortles and Robinson) climbing up in fantasy points last season. I would love to he them keep climbing that fantasy ladder for one reason: fantasy football is based on popularity of the players. I want to see Jaguars players earn points and move up in the player rankings, but more important are comments about how they perform on a real field.  This is just a way to show how popularity increases for the fast-rising Jaguars:, along with jersey sales of the best Jaguars in fantasy leagues. Does that make sense?

I don't truely know what you are asking but I've been playing fantasy football in a league that I am the only Jaguars fan for about 3-4 years (been a Jags fan for close to 10 years now when I started watching football). When I first started playing the only jaguar drafted was Jones-Drew. When he declined a few years back there wasn't a single Jaguar being drafted in my league. Last year, A-Rob and J-Thomas were only Jaguars drafted; however, Bortles and Hurns were picked up when people started to see how good they were.


This year, there was quite a bit of hype around the Jags for fantasy value. A-Rob was a top 10 pick while Bortles was one of the higher drafted qbs. Aside from them, Hurns, Julius Thomas, Yeldon, and Ivory were drafted. The Jaguars are finally a team that people are valuing in fantasy terms, potentially trickling over into more jersey sales, ticket sales, etc.. Hope that somewhat answers your question lol

Sorry for the confusion. I was thinking about how Blake Bortles and Allen Robinson are rapidly becoming more popular fantasy players. Are more fans drafting and starting them, etc. and are any other Jags getting some notable fantasy points or whatever?
