Jaguars QB Blake Bortles has 'trust' in 'Mr. Reliable' Allen Hurns

The time Jaguars receiver Allen Hurns and quarterback Blake Bortles put in during the offseason is showing up in camp. Hurns made two difficult catches on passes thrown into tight coverage from Bortles.

"He's awesome, he was our Mr. Reliable last year," Bortles said. "Obviously, the time we got to spend together in the offseason out in California and then here all of July, it's been really good. That's something that's continuing to grow and he's only getting better."

Hurns said he knows Bortles will throw him the ball even if he's covered.

"You can see the chemistry," Hurns said. "If we have a tight window, he's having that trust in me that I'm going to make the play. I have trust in him that he'll throw me a good ball."

Fantasy Impact:

Hurns reportedly has a lead on Marqise Lee to be the team's WR2 heading into camp. He led the team in receiving yards (677) and touchdowns (6) as an undrafted rookie. If he plays starter's snaps he's likely to be fantasy relevant this season. He's particularly useful in best ball formats where owners can be sure that his big games will be counted.

Jaguars QB Blake Bortles reached 'a different level' on Wednesday

Blake Bortles has looked good throughout camp, but appeared to reach a different level on Wednesday. Bortles completed 10 of 15 passes in 11-on-11 work and was 7 of 8 in seven-on-seven while being more aggressive with the ball downfield than usual.

Jaguars coach Gus Bradley praised Bortles’ work ethic in learning Greg Olson’s offense in the summer. Bortles says he can tell he’s playing faster in his decision making. He’s also making the right decisions more than last season.

“It’s more educated now,” Bortles said. “I’m knowing the matchup and situation better. Last year, it was like, let’s chunk it. It’s definitely more of an educated guess now.”

The Jaguars could become an efficient red-zone team with Julius Thomas, Allen Robinson and tight end Marcedes Lewis in the fold. The 6-foot-5 Bortles will have multiple reliable jump-ball targets.

“We have three guys that can go catch a fade at any moment. It’s awesome to have weapons like that. They can get up and jump and make plays. It’s definitely going to be fun to do that.”

Fantasy Impact:

Bortles averaged 12.0 fantasy points per game, which led to a #24 finish at his position. He's a passer who could make a leap in his second season if the Jaguars can give him time to throw and he can clean up his fundamentals. The receiving corps is young but talented, with Allen Robinson, Allen Hurns and Marqise Lee all capable of producing when given the opportunity. The team signed Julius Thomas to provide a dangerous weapon at tight end. Bortles averaged nearly 30 yards rushing, so he offers some baseline production as a runner. If Bortles can make a leap, the Jacksonville offense will be a lot better than expected.

Gus Bradley impressed with Blake Bortles' accuracy

The Jacksonville Jaguars have only had two training camp practices, but coach Gus Bradley is already impressed with what he’s seen from second-year quarterback Blake Bortles.

Bradley said he likes Bortles’ command of the offense and the way he is throwing the ball after Bortles spent the offseason fixing some mechanical issues with his delivery.

"His accuracy is good for this early, especially," Bradley said Saturday afternoon. "I like his mechanics. I think you guys said you had noticed that. His mechanics, his poise [are good]. His big thing is he wants to own the offense so he can play at a higher level without thinking a lot, and that’s what he’s doing.

"You can tell he put in his time over the summer with the knowledge of the offense."

Fantasy Impact:

The story said Bortles completed 13 of 22 passes in 11-on-11 sessions during his first two days of practice. He went 7-for-12 on Friday, but two of those incompletions were drops. It's potential good news, not only for Bortles, but for the young crop of WRs, like Allen Robinson, and TE Julius Thomas, who will benefit from a potential stronger QB situation this season.

Jaguars rookie receiver Rashad Greene was impressive during the offseason program.

The fifth-round pick out of Florida State continued the momentum during the six-week break. Greene joined quarterback Blake Bortles and other receivers at Bishop Kenny to throw during the time off.

Greene spoke about the sessions Monday as the Jaguars' quarterbacks and rookies reported to training camp. The team's first practice is at 9:55 a.m. Friday after the veteran's report on Thursday.

"The majority of the time I was here, working with Blake and some of the receivers," Greene said. "[Our chemistry] has grown a good amount. We're getting comfortable with each other. He's understanding how I get in and out of my breaks and I'm getting used to how he throws the ball."

Fantasy Impact:

Greene has a lot of competition at the WR spot with a boatload of young talent at the position on the Jags roster. He ranks way down our list at 133.
