The Jacksonville Jaguars are looking to bounce back from a disappointing end to last season, where they missed the playoffs after starting strong. Head coach Doug Pederson and general manager Trent Baalke will be under pressure to deliver better results this year. The team made significant changes on the defensive side, bringing in new coordinator Ryan Nielsen and signing veterans like Arik Armstead, Ronald Darby, and Darnell Savage to bolster the defense.

On the offensive side, the focus will be on protecting quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who faced too many sacks and injuries last season. The Jaguars are hoping that additions like center Mitch Morse and guard Ezra Cleveland will help improve their offensive line. The team is also counting on their star pass rushers Josh Hines-Allen and Travon Walker to continue their strong performance from last season.

Some key departures from the team include wide receivers Calvin Ridley and Zay Jones, as well as defensive players like Darious Williams and K’Lavon Chaisson. The Jaguars will be looking to new faces like Mac Jones, Gabe Davis, and Cam Little to make an impact this season.

During training camp and the preseason, receivers Brian Thomas Jr. and Parker Washington stood out as potential playmakers. Travis Etienne is also a player to watch in fantasy football, as the Jaguars expect their ground game to improve with a revamped offensive line.

As the new season approaches, the Jaguars have set their sights on winning the AFC South and returning to the playoffs. The team’s odds are set at 66-1 to win the Super Bowl, with an over/under of 8 1/2 wins for the season.
