The Jacksonville Jaguars will face the Tennessee Titans in Week 17. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding QB Mac Jones.
Is Mac Jones Playing in Week 17?
Jones is not listed on the injury report this week, so barring any setbacks, he is on track to play this weekend.

Should You Start or Sit Mac Jones in Week 17?
Jones’ final stat line ended up looking fine against the Raiders last week (247 yards and a touchdown), but if not for a single play (62-yard touchdown to Brian Thomas Jr.), he would have posted an absolute dud in a great spot.
Jones is at obvious risk of being involved in another ugly slugfest this week, and with a 2.4% touchdown rate this season, I have no interest in going this direction under any circumstances. Much like Aidan O’Connell in Vegas, or even his opposing number in this game, Jones has one job, and that is to feed his top receiving option like his life depends on it.
Jones’ life may not, but our fantasy seasons do!
