The Facts:
The Jaguars will be without Blackmon for the first four games of the season due to a suspension for violating the league's substance-abuse policy. They might also be without the second-year wide receiver for the start of training camp. Blackmon recently underwent groin surgery.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Blackmon was able to participate in last month's minicamp on a limited basis before sitting out the final session, ostensibly due to the injury. The Jaguars have not provided a timetable for a return, but it's safe to assume Blackmon will be back to full health by the time he's eligible to play in Week 5. ... If Blackmon isn’t ready for the start of camp or is limited, newcomer Mohamed Massaquoi would likely take the first-team snaps opposite Cecil Shorts. Also worth noting: NFL.com's Chris Wesseling believes Blackmon's surgery will present an opportunity for rookie Ace Sanders to see increased reps. As a poor man's version of St. Louis Rams rookie Tavon Austin, Wesseling views Sanders as an intriguing wild card for a team lacking depth at the wide receiver position.
