You can only play who's on your schedule, yes, but there's little doubt a start of Bears, Falcons, Browns and Lions is hardly Murderers' Row when it comes to pass defense.The Browns were by far the best of that bunch, and Young struggled in that loss.
They could end up playing two more in January.At 3-1 through four games and with wins over the otherwise 3-0 Browns, the 2-1 Patriots, and 2-1 Bengals, the Jaguars are in position to eventually secure the No.
The Jets' matchup against the Cleveland Browns isn’t great, but Allen can be in fantasy starting lineups in Week 6 against the New England Patriots, and potentially Week 7 against the Miami Dolphins if Hall isn’t back yet.
