Jaguars.com writer John Oehser: I anticipate (Jaguars WR Ace Sanders) needing time to get to condition where he can play a full game in his normal role. That’s to be expected for a player who has missed four games. But even when he does get back to 100 percent, I don’t anticipate him being in the starting lineup unless others are injured. The Jaguars’ top four receivers right now are pretty clearly Allen Robinson, Allen Hurns, Cecil Shorts III and Marqise Lee in no particular order, and I’d say those players will have starting roles over Sanders.

Sanders won't return to heavy snaps, so fantasy owners should focus on Robinson and Hurns, who are currently the team's healthiest receivers.

Jags WR Marqise Lee's status was still uncertain Monday.

Lee missed the last two games with a hamstring injury, and is going through the team’s return-to-play protocol and could practice this week. That situation should be updated Wednesday. Allen Robinson and Allen Hurns look like they could get a bulk of the work, and Ace Sanders returns from suspension and could also see time.

For 30 minutes anyway, QB Blake Bortles showed glimpses of how dynamic and special he might be once the Jaguars get more proven talent around him. He made it look routine in a mistake-free first half, completing 15 of 18 passes for 149 yards.

And that was playing with five other rookies on his side of the ball, including tight end Nic Jacobs, a five-day-old employee signed off the New Orleans Saints practice squad. One of Bortles’ prettiest throws was his TD pass in the corner of the end zone, lobbing the ball over two defenders, to a spot where only Jacobs could bring it down.

More impressive, it was the way Bortles moved the offense up and down the field, doing it almost effortlessly on back-to-back scoring drives. On the first TD march, he zipped a third-down, 13-yard sideline pass to Cecil Shorts, then connected on a play-action throw to tight end Clay Harbor down the seam for another 22 yards.

“[Bortles] has a savvy about him to make big plays” said receiver Allen Robinson. “Just his ability to make plays when nothing’s there. I don’t think there’s any such thing as a dead play with him.”

The story went on to say that for the first time all season, the Jaguars’ offense looked lethal, even if it didn’t last long enough to keep them in the game. Another positive sign was after Philiop Rivers took the Chargers 83 yards for their first TD, Bortles responded with a 76-yard march of his own that featured another display of his instinct and athleticism. Bortles certainly has some fantasy upside and his defense is likely going to put him in position to throw a lot, so he'll have some lower-end fantasy value going forward and probably get a lot of garbage-time production as a result.

The Jacksonville Jaguars don't expect rookie receiver Marqise Lee to play Sunday at San Diego.

The team says Lee won't practice this week, and barring significant improvement, won't make the trip to the West Coast.

Lee caught eight passes for 73 yards in the first two games. He missed Sunday's 44-17 loss to Indianapolis with a right hamstring injury.

WRs Cecil Shorts III, Mike Brown, Allen Robinson and Allen Hurns will look to be reliable targets for rookie QB Blake Bortles in his starting debut this week. Anyone on the Jags offense is a little too risky for fantasy plays right now, but the hope is Bortles provides some stability to the offense.
