Jaguars' Luke Farrell: Limited largely to special teams
Rotowire
Farrell played 10 of his 11 snaps on special teams in Sunday's 28-27 win over the Ravens.
Jacksonville kept four tight ends active Week 12, but Farrell and Dan Arnold (three snaps on offense) ranked far behind starter Evan Engram (51 snaps) and top backup Chris Manhertz (20 snaps) in terms of usage. Even if an injury to Engram or Manhertz opens up more playing time at tight end, Arnold is a better bet than Farrell to contribute as a pass catcher.

Jaguars' Luke Farrell: Sees snap count bump
Rotowire
Farrell went without a target across his eight snaps on offense in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Texans.
Farrell was one of four tight ends active for Jacksonville in Week 5, with his 11 percent snap share on offense matching Dan Arnold. Considering Arnold has played 47 snaps on offense to Farrell's 14, the former still looks to be the Jaguars' clear No. 3 tight end at the moment. Even so, Farrell should still continue to avoid the inactive lists most weeks thanks to his consistent role on special teams.

Jaguars' Luke Farrell: Zero targets in finale
Rotowire
Farrell didn't receive a target during Sunday's 26-11 win over Indianapolis.
Farrell started Sunday's contest alongside Chris Manhertz, but Jacob Hollister was the only Jacksonville tight end to be targeted in the passing game. Farrell finished his rookie campaign with seven receptions for 56 yards in 15 games, and he should enter 2022 competing for a depth role with Manhertz behind Dan Arnold (knee), who currently projects to be the team's No. 1 tight end.

Jaguars' Luke Farrell: Works as No. 1 tight end
Rotowire
Farrell caught one of two targets for seven yards during Sunday's 50-10 loss to the Patriots.
Farrell received the start and played 72 percent of the offensive snaps with James O'Shaughnessy (hip) sidelined, though it didn't result in much involvement in the passing game. It was Farrell's first reception since Week 8, and he's unlikely to be a significant factor in the passing game in the season finale versus the Colts even if he sees a similar snap count.

Jaguars' Luke Farrell: Back from COVID list
Rotowire
Farrell (illness) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday.
Farrell tested positive for the virus Monday but is back on the active roster without missing a game. James O'Shaughnessy (hip) has been unable to practice this week while Chris Manhertz (illness) and Jacob Hollister (illness) remain in the health and safety protocols, so Farrell could be in line for an increased workload this weekend in New England.
