Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.
Jaguars HC Doug Pederson said Friday morning that QB Trevor Lawrence (ankle) will be listed as questionable and "probably" be a game-time decision for Sunday's tilt with the Browns. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that Lawrence looked good throwing on Thursday and that "no one is counting him out" for this weekend's game. We'll continue to keep you updated on the situation. A gimpy Lawrence vs. a tough Cleveland defense in a game with potentially bad weather wouldn't be a recommended QB1 play. But his presence would be good news for Jacksonville's skill-position players.
Update: Lawrence was limited again in Friday's practice and is officially listed as questionable.
Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence (ankle) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. He evidently hasn't given up on playing vs. the Browns this weekend. We'll see what Lawrence does on Friday and how he's listed on the final injury report.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport calls it an "uphill battle" for Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence (ankle) to play vs. the Browns this weekend. "I'm not saying he's not gonna play. I'm just saying he has to get a lot better very quickly in a short week to actually be out on the field" on Sunday, Rapoport adds. Fantasy owners should certainly be working under the assumption that it'll be C.J. Beathard at QB for Jacksonville this weekend. We'll keep you updated on Lawrence's status.
Jaguars HC Doug Pederson said Tuesday that QB Trevor Lawrence has a high-ankle sprain. Pederson, though, did not rule Lawrence out for this weekend's game vs. the Browns. Skill-position players usually miss multiple weeks with high-ankle sprains, but it's possible that Lawrence is back sooner -- with limited mobility, of course. Fantasy owners should still work under the assumption for now that it'll be QB C.J. Beathard starting for Jacksonville on Sunday, but we'll keep a close eye on Lawrence's status.
Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence has a sprained right ankle and will undergo additional testing on Tuesday, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Lawrence was in a walking boot after the loss to the Bengals but was able to stand at his locker, per NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe. We should get an update on Lawrence's injury and timeline for return later today. QB C.J. Beathard played pretty well in relief of Lawrence on Monday, completing nine of 10 passes for 63 yards. Still, Lawrence's absence would be a significant downgrade for all of Jacksonville's skill-position players.
Jaguars TE Evan Engram finally found the end zone in Week 13, finishing Monday night’s game vs. the Bengals with a team-high 9 catches on as many targets for 82 receiving yards. His 23.2 PPR points in the contest rank second among all TEs in Week 13 and stand as Engram’s highest mark of the season. As disappointing as it was to see QB Trevor Lawrence leave with a late ankle injury, fantasy managers should keep in mind that a healthy portion of Engram’s production (4 catches and 31 yards) came on Jacksonville’s final two drives with backup C.J. Beathard under center. Engram will likely remain among our top 12 weekly TEs even if Lawrence misses time.
Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence injured his right leg in the fourth quarter of Monday night's game vs. the Bengals. He rolled his ankle and also had his knee bent awkwardly. We'll see how the Jaguars announce the injury. Lawrence needed help getting back to the locker room. QB C.J. Beathard is Jacksonville's backup.
Update: Lawrence is officially questionable to return with an ankle injury.
Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence put forth a tremendous outing in Week 11, completing 24 of 32 passes for 262 yards with 2 TDs vs. the Titans. He also punched in a pair of rushing scores in the contest, making for his best individual fantasy performance all season. Much of Lawrence’s success stemmed from his rapport with WR Calvin Ridley. The wideout accumulated 7 catches on 9 targets for 103 receiving yards and caught both of Lawrence’s TDs. The duo has been hot and cold in 2023, however, and the Jaguars’ upcoming schedule (second-toughest for QB matchups per our adjusted fantasy points allowed) will make both difficult to trust weekly. Fantasy managers should continue to trot Lawrence and Ridley out into lineups, but be wary of the volatile scoring floor they bring.
Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence faceplanted against San Francisco, mustering only 185 yards on 17-of-29 passing. He added 2 picks. Christian Kirk went off for 6 grabs and 104 yards, but no other pass catcher reached 30 yards. Through nine games, Lawrence has yet to top 2 passing scores, so it’s no surprise he hasn’t reached 20 fantasy points in a game. Even beyond the tough 49ers matchup, Lawrence will face one of the most challenging rest-of-season QB schedules. He’ll remain outside QB1 range when our Rest of Way Rankings are updated on Monday.
Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence threw for 292 yards in Sunday's win over the Steelers, his second-largest yardage total of the season. Lawrence managed just 1 TD pass, however, his sixth game among eight with fewer than 2 TDs. Lawrence added just one rush for 10 yards. Lawrence -- who entered the week 16th among QBs in fantasy points per game (depending on your format) -- sat just 12th among QBs in ESPN scoring through Sunday's early games. He gets a Week 9 bye that should provide some welcome rest for his banged-up knee.
Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Steelers. He’s expected to wear a brace on that injured knee again today. But it wasn’t an issue last week, when Lawrence ran for a season-high 59 yards. Lawrence is safe to use as a low-end QB1.
NFL Network's James Palmer confirms that Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence (knee) is expected to play vs. the Steelers today. Lawrence is listed as questionable, but there was never any doubt about his availability for this one after he played last week. "He feels better this week, but this isn't something that is going to improve overnight and will take some time," Palmer adds. Lawrence gets a Week 9 bye to heal up.
The Jaguars list QB Trevor Lawrence (knee) as questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Steelers. He played through this knee issue last week, even running for a season-high 59 yards. Lawrence is fully expected to play against Pittsburgh.
Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence (knee) is active for tonight's game against the Saints. Lawrence has said all along he planned to play in this game. He does sit outside our top 12 QBs in the Week 7 rankings, through -- which is especially noteworthy given that a season-high six teams are on bye.
Jaguars HC Doug Pederson told ESPN's Ed Werder that QB Trevor Lawrence is expected to start tonight's game vs. the Saints, "pending a pregame workout." ESPN's Adam Schefter adds that, "Lawrence has reported improvement in his mild left knee sprain." We'd still expect his mobility inside and outside of the pocket to be limited tonight. We'll get Jacksonville's inactives a little before 7 pm ET.
