James O'Shaughnessy
TE -
Week 16 Outlook
Availability
Former Jaguars TE James O'Shaughnessy is signing a new, one-year deal with the Chicago Bears.
Fantasy Impact
The Bears, who have been quiet in free agency, continue to pick up small depth guys like O'Shaughnessy. He won't come in and make a major impact on the team, but he will be a solid depth piece at the position. Fantasy managers can expect him to have very little, if any, fantasy value this season.
Jaguars tight end James O'Shaughnessy (hip) has been ruled out for Week 18 versus Indianapolis.
Fantasy Impact
This leaves Jacob Hollister as the Jaguars' top tight end, assuming Jacksonville doesn't activate Dan Arnold (knee) from IR. O'Shaughnessy, an impending free agent, finishes 2021 with 24 catches and 244 yards over the course of seven games.
Jaguars tight end James O'Shaughnessy (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Patriots. He missed all three of Jacksonville's practice sessions this week.
Fantasy Impact
O'Shaughnessy has looked solid ever since the Jaguars lost Dan Arnold to injury, catching 12 passes for 130 yards over the last three weeks. With Jacob Hollister and Chris Manhertz both on the COVID-19 reserve list, Luke Farrell and Kahale Warring are in line to serve as Jacksonville's tight ends.
James O'Shaughnessy caught 4-of-4 targets for 60 yards in Jacksonville's Week 15 loss to the Houston Texans.
Fantasy Impact
O'Shaughnessy caught all four of his targets for 60 yards Sunday, including a 30-yard catch on a fake screen pass which would end up being the longest offensive play of the day for the Jags'. O'Shaughnessy led the team in receiving yards and almost topped the 63 yards he had combined in his previous three games. Unfortunately, given the overall lack of production the Jaguars offense provides and the inconsistencies of their rookie quarterback, Trevor Lawrence, O'shaugnessy should stay off the fantasy radar.
James O'Shaughnessy hauled in 4-of-6 targets for 21 yards during the Jaguars 0-20 loss to the Titans in Week 14.
Fantasy Impact
O'Shaughnessy operated as the TE1 with Dan Arnold out and tied Laquon Treadwell for second on the team in targets (6). While it's tough to trust anyone on the Jaguars offense, the barren TE landscape makes O'Shaughnessy an interesting streamer in Week 15 vs. the Texans.
