Jaguars versus Bills: Five bold predictions for Week 9
4. Jaguars WR Laviska Shenault will break off a long run.
Second-year wide receiver Laviska Shenault is on pace to register 774 yards this season. Although that’s not bad, it isn’t probably the kind of production they expected from the Colorado product this season.
Viska isn’t lacking talent though. He’s one of the best wide receivers in the NFL at creating yards after the catch. If he can cut down on the drops, he could become a key contributor in the following weeks. Also, he could get a chance to contribute against the Bills if James Robinson doesn’t play.
The 2020 second-round pick has previously liked up at running back and could do so again in Week 8. Offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell didn’t dismiss the idea when asked and if Shenault does play some running back, expect him to break off a carry of 20-plus yards.
5. Jaguars TE Dan Arnold will haul in six passes for 100 yards and a TD.
Tight end Dan Arnold has quickly become a fixture of the Jaguars’ offense and become one of Trevor Lawrence’s favorite targets. Since joining the team via trade ahead of Week 4, he’s hauled in18 catches for 188 yards and has caught six passes or more in a game two times in the last four weeks.
Arnold will continue to be involved on offense and will register his first 100-yard game as a member of the Black and Teal. Moreover, he will score his first touchdown of the NFL season.
