With the league's rules and standard of rules enforcement shifting to favor and enable passing attacks, involving backs in the pass game is going to naturally trend upward.

It's nothing new, but it will certainly become more prevalent.

The Jags were actually in good shape in this regard before losing Grant and putting Yeldon on a snap count due to injury.
Both of them are quite productive catching the ball (when given opportunities) and Grant was sometimes lined up as the slot receiver in a bunch formation - so they were thinking of him AS a receiver at times.

Hopefully the new line-up of Fournette/Hyde/Yeldon will be utilized with a number of pass plays as well. Yeldon we know will get targets, but Fournette should be targeted as well.  He has adequate hands though I'd not send him on a deep seam route or anything like that. Not sure how well he tracks the ball on deeper routes.
