Jacksonville Jaguars DFS Spin
Jaguars WR Zay Jones (knee) is out for Week 7. The veteran receiver has battled a knee injury throughout much of this season. He was able to briefly return in Week 5 and caught a touchdown against the Bills, but then left the game with his injury and hasn’t practiced since. In his absence, much of the passing work should still funnel to Calvin Ridley and Christian Kirk.
New Orleans Saints DFS Spin
Saints S Tyrann Mathieu is questionable for Thursday Night Football with a foot injury. Mathieu had been limited in practice all week leading up to the Saints’ Thursday game. The short week may be why the Saints were cautious with Mathieu’s foot, but after three straight limited practices, Mathieu is officially listed as questionable to suit up against the Jaguars for Week 7.

Jaguars at Saints Prediction:
Take the under. The under has cashed in 12 straight games involving the Saints. If you watched New Orleans play this season, you can see why. The offseason addition of Derek Carr was supposed to turn this team back into a playoff contender. Instead, he’s been the same quarterback he was in Oakland/Las Vegas: a check-down machine that piles up good counting numbers but not enough wins.
Meanwhile, Jacksonville is playing well defensively and with Trevor Lawrence (knee) a little banged up, I imagine they’ll get their running game fired up tonight. Points should be at a premium tonight in New Orleans.
Jaguars at Saints NFL Prediction: UNDER 39.5
