Jacksonville Jaguars DFS Spin
Zay Jones (knee) is out for Week 8 against the Steelers. The Jaguars will be without Jones for yet another game, leaving Calvin Ridley, Christian Kirk, and Evan Engram as the team’s primary pass catchers. Though Kirk has taken over as the team’s No. 1 wideout, Ridley has seen 43 percent of the Jaguars’ air yards over the past three games and remains a volatile fantasy play who should remain in lineups against the Steelers.
Pittsburgh Steelers DFS Spin
Steelers listed CB Joey Porter Jr. (calf) as questionable for Week 8 against the Jaguars. Porter was added to the injury report on Thursday, but still got in a limited session in each of the team’s last two practice. The rookie corner has been a near lock down player for the Steelers this season, allowing just one reception for 12 yards on 10 targets while forcing one interception. In addition to Porter, the Steelers also listed cornerbacks Levi Wallace (foot) and James Pierre (ankle) as questionable, with Pierre being a Friday addition to the injury report.

Jaguars vs. Steelers Prediction:
Take Jacksonville. I don’t care what Mike Tomlin’s record is as a home dog – the Jaguars are the better team. The Steelers have been outgained in all six of their games this season. Only the Cardinals have pulled off that feat and nobody considers them a playoff contender. That’s because teams that typically get outgained in games usually lose, just as Arizona has. Pittsburgh has been fortunate to this point. The Jaguars should fix that today.
