This is a great addition for the Jaguars, however, when it comes to fantasy value here, it makes me think of Tavon Austin-style versatility and usage. This screams boom-or-bust for me at this point in his career, and it might be too high of a risk to take him in the draft at all.

Pending any health issues to any of the other receivers, Shenault may be a great stash on your bench in a deeper league. If he starts to gain more reps and targets, then it will be worth stashing him for future use.
