Allen Hurns-WR-Jacksonville Jaguars (11.3%)

Allen Hurns has gotten off to a great start in his second year with the Jags and has been a consistent contributor despite Jacksonville’s continued struggles at times on offense.

In each week this season, Hurns has at least 60 yards receiving and has a touchdown in each of his last two games. His biggest game of the season came this week against the Colts as he hauled in 11 of his 15 targets for an impressive 116 yards and a touchdown.

This week, Hurns is definitely a WR3 play in a good matchup against the Bucs since he is definitely developing a solid connection with QB Blake Bortles and emerging as a weekly flex play. Hurns battled a thigh issue last week, but he was definitely ready to roll this week against Indy and should be able to build on his momentum against as suspect Bucs’ secondary this week.
