The Jacksonville Jaguars are preparing to take on the Cincinnati Bengals in what should be one of the best matchups of NFL Week 4.
Both teams enter with 2-1 records, and both are hoping to add another impressive win to their resume in Week 4. The Jaguars are coming off their best game of this early season in Week 3, when they destroyed the Patriots by a score of 35-6.
Now, let’s take a look at Yahoo! Sports and see what the fantasy football projections are for a couple of the Jaguars’ best offensive players in Week 4.
Bhayshul Tuten
Projected Fantasy Points: 10.31
Bhayshul Tuten has had two solid outings in a row entering Week 4. Tuten had 13.20 fantasy points in Week 2 and 16.00 in Week 3. The running back has at least 65 rushing yards in all three games this season and has touchdowns in the last two games.
In Week 4, Tuten doesn’t have the best matchup. The Bengals have been solid against running backs, allowing the 20th most points to the position. This is a game where Tuten’s performance is going to depend on how involved he is in the pass game and whether he finds the end zone.
This game could be a shootout, which would probably lead to points for Tuten. There are better starts in Week 4, but Tuten isn’t a bad option.
Parker Washington

Projected Fantasy Points: 13.47
Parker Washington has clearly evolved into the WR1 for the Jaguars. The receiver has double-digit fantasy points in each game this season, and he has a touchdown in two of the first three games.
The Bengals are average against wide receivers, so this matchup isn’t the worst for Washington. As mentioned above, I wouldn’t be surprised if this game is a shootout, which would bode well for Washington. The Bengals have a couple of elite receivers, so Trevor Lawrence will need Washington to have a big game.
At this point, there aren’t many scenarios I wouldn’t be comfortable starting Washington in.
