Christian Kirk's role has been restricted to the slot due to the addition of Calvin Ridley. Despite being an every-down receiver last season, Kirk's playing time has been reduced. He used to play in 12 personnel, but now Zay Jones has taken that role. Surprisingly, Ridley and Jones both played in 13 personnel, a change from the previous season. The Jaguars used 11 personnel fairly often last season, which might lead to a decrease in Kirk's snaps, particularly on run plays and pass routes.
Jake Ferguson emerged as the leading tight end for the Cowboys, even taking some third-down snaps. His usage is promising for fantasy football, although his removal on passing plays could limit his upside. Luke Schoonmaker, a second-round pick, could see more playing time as the season progresses.
In other notes, Jaguars' rookie Brenton Strange played with the starters in specific formations, and Cowboys' Malik Davis and Rico Dowdle are competing for the backup running back role, with Deuce Vaughn entering the game later.

Tank Bigsby, a highly anticipated player, only saw one snap with the starters, indicating he might handle short-yardage situations in the regular season. While Travis Etienne remains the primary starter, Bigsby's involvement suggests a potential running back committee.
