Duvernay caught his only target for three yards and returned four punts for 37 yards during Sunday's 19-14 loss to the Raiders. The return man entered the contest with multiple receptions in the previous three games, but he played a lesser offensive role Sunday as nine different Jacksonville players caught at least one ball. Duvernay played fewer offensive snaps than Josh Reynolds, but Brian Thomas and Parker Washington only the only Jacksonville wideouts consistently involved in the offense at this point.

Duvernay caught his only target for three yards and returned four punts for 37 yards during Sunday's 19-14 loss to the Raiders. The return man entered the contest with multiple receptions in the previous three games, but he played a lesser offensive role Sunday as nine different Jacksonville players caught at least one ball. Duvernay played fewer offensive snaps than Josh Reynolds, but Brian Thomas and Parker Washington only the only Jacksonville wideouts consistently involved in the offense at this point.
Duvernay caught three of four targets for 42 yards, returned two kickoffs for 63 yards and returned two punts for 12 yards during Sunday's loss to the Jets. Josh Reynolds made his Jacksonville debut but garnered just one target on 27 offensive snaps as Duvernay retained his role has the team's No. 3 wide receiver. The return man has been more involved in the offense of late with eight catches for 73 yards over the past three weeks, but he doesn't have much fantasy utility.
Duvernay rushed once for minus-seven yards, caught all three targets for eight yards and returned two punts for eight yards during Sunday's 10-6 win over the Titans. The return man operated as Jacksonville's No. 3 wide receiver and played 29 of 59 offensive snaps, but his targets in the passing game were limited to short routes. Duvernay could see even fewer offensive chances down the stretch with Josh Reynolds -- who was claimed off waivers Wednesday -- likely to enter the mix after being inactive against Tennessee.
Duvernay caught two of four targets for 23 yards, returned three kickoffs for 68 yards and one punt for five yards during Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Texans. Duvernay entered the weekend having played a minimal offensive role this season, but he played 39 offensive snaps and produced his first positive receiving yardage of 2024 against Houston. The 27-year-old operated as Jacksonville's No. 3 wide receiver ahead of Tim Jones and Elijah Cooks, though none of those three wideouts are likely to have fantasy viability, especially if Mac Jones finishes the campaign as the club's starting quarterback.
Duvernay (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Vikings. Duvernay will suit up for the first time since Week 5 after he completed a four-game stint on injured reserve while he recovered from a hamstring strain. In his first five outings with the Jaguars, Duvernay drew just one target and carried three times for 10 yards, but he could see his role on offense expand a bit after fellow wideout Christian Kirk (collarbone) suffered a season-ending injury Week 8. Even if that comes to fruition, Duvernay is still expected to deliver his greatest impact in the return game.
The Jaguars activated Duvernay (hamstring) off injured reserve Saturday. Duvernay was hurt in Jacksonville's Week 5 victory against Indianapolis and subsequently was placed on IR. He was designated to return this past Wednesday and has now been activated. Duvernay could thus suit up Sunday versus Minnesota, which would be a boost to the Jaguars' passing game, with both Brian Thomas (chest) and Gabe Davis (shoulder) questionable to play in the contest.
The Jaguars designated Duvernay (lower body) for return from injured reserve Wednesday. A two-time Pro Bowl return man during the first four seasons of his career in Baltimore, Duvernay signed a two-year, $8.5 million contract with the Jaguars in the spring. He suited up in each of Jacksonville's first five games and primarily served on special teams, logging just one reception and carrying three times for 10 yards before landing on IR on Oct. 9. After sitting out the last four games, Duvernay is now healthy enough to practice, and he could be a candidate to return from IR this Sunday against the Vikings if he checks out fine during the week. Once activated, Duvernay will likely continue to provide most of his value in the return game, but he may have an opportunity to see more reps on offense with wideout Christian Kirk (collarbone) done for the season.
The Jaguars placed Duvernay (lower body) on injured reserve Wednesday. The 27-year-old sustained a lower-body injury during the Jaguars' Week 5 win over the Colts, and it now appears serious enough to land him on IR. Duvernay accumulated one reception for minus-1 yard and 181 return yards across Jacksonville's first five contests. With the first-year Jaguar sidelined for at least next four games, expect Parker Washington to serve as Jacksonville's top kick and punt returner.
Duvernay sustained a lower body injury in Sunday's 37-34 win over the Colts, Garry Smits of The Jacksonville Florida Times-Union reports. Duvernay played a significant role in the Jaguars' Week 5 win, as his 53-yard punt return set up a Tank Bigsby touchdown run in the third quarter. Head coach Doug Pederson sounded concerned about Duvernay when discussing the Jaguars' injuries Monday, explaining that Duvernay is "going to be the big one." If the Texas product is unable to suit up in Week 6, expect Parker Washington to assume Jacksonville's top kick and punt return duties.
