The Facts:
Following up on the
ongoing story. ... ESPN’s Britt McHenry reported Wednesday that the Jaguars are “not expecting Blackmon at all for 2014.” This according to GM David Caldwell, who said as much to McHenry during a live broadcast.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
While some believe Caldwell's latest comments are meant to cloud the Jaguars' draft intentions, they do jibe with previous comments both at the combine and more recently. At best, the Jaguars believe Blackmon's return would be a bonus if it happens, but they aren't counting on it. Blackmon remains suspended indefinitely for multiple violations of the NFL substance abuse policy and the Jaguars are no allowed to have contact with him. So the notion the Jaguars will add a high-end receiver with the third pick overall (or later) certainly are within reason. Right now the Jaguars would start the season with Cecil Shorts, Mike Brown and Ace Sanders as their top three wideouts. Fantasy football owners should expect that to change -- but via the draft, not due to Blackmon returning.
