Josiah Deguara

The Jaguars signed Josiah Deguara on a one-year deal.

Fantasy Impact

Deguara spent the first four years of his career with the Packers in a limited role. He figured to remain in a primary blocking role with Jacksonville.

Josiah Deguara caught all four of his targets for 34 yards in the Packers' 34-20 loss to the Lions.

Deguara saw increased volume after Luke Musgrave (concussion) exited and was later ruled out. If the rookie is forced to miss extended time, Deguara should see a steady uptick in snaps and targets.

In a nail-biting clash that saw the Packers fall to the Falcons 25-24, Josiah Deguara's performance was more of a whisper than a roar.

Fantasy Impact

The 26-year-old tight end managed to reel in both of his targets, but with a meager total of 5 receiving yards, his contribution to the Green Bay offense was minimal at best. His season stats mirror his Week 2 performance, with 2 receptions for 5 yards and no touchdowns. Deguara's play-by-play data shows a couple of short gains, but nothing to write home about. Looking ahead, Deguara and the Packers will face off against the New Orleans Saints in Week 3. Fantasy managers will be hoping for a more impactful performance from Deguara, but based on his current form, it might be wise to temper expectations.

According to Ryan Wood of USA TODAY, Green Bay Packers TE/FB Josiah Deguara returned to practice Wednesday after missing the last week with a calf injury.

Fantasy Impact

Deguara was listed as the Packers' FB1 on their first unofficial depth chart. The fourth-year player out of Cincinnati plays a hybrid role for the Packers, appearing on over 20% of the team's snaps every season as a dual TE and FB. His return will play a factor in the team's scheme, though he does not get the ball often — 39 career touches.

Josiah Deguara did not practice on Thursday due to a calf injury.

Fantasy Impact

This is a new injury for Deguara and one to monitor. He is looking to earn a role among Packers tight ends this season.
