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 is turning over play-calling duties to OC Press Taylor, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "I totally trust Press," Pederson told NFL.com. "We think alike. We've been together for a long time, and he's around Trevor [Lawrence] all the time and knows what Trevor likes." We'd prefer Pederson continue calling plays considering Jacksonville's success last year. But we're ultimately not expecting a significant fantasy impact here. Taylor has worked under Pederson for six NFL seasons.
Jags HC Doug Pederson praised QB Trevor Lawrence in a recent interview. "I'll tell you what, he's throwing the ball the best I've seen him in the year and a half I've been with Trevor," Pederson said on SiriusXM NFL Radio. "And just really, the sky is the limit with this guy. And if we just continue to improve and just really keep those pieces around him healthy, this offense could really take off." Our QB rankings page turn up career-best numbers for Lawrence. He’s fairly priced with an ADP around QB8.
The NFL announced Monday that it has reinstated Jaguars WR Calvin Ridley. The 28-year-old hasn't played since Week 7 of 2021. Ridley initially left the team for personal reasons. The league then suspended him for all of 2022 after revealing that Ridley had placed football bets while he was away from the Falcons. Jacksonville acquired the wideout last November for a fifth-round 2023 NFL Draft pick and a conditional fourth-rounder for 2024. (That can become a third- or second-round pick.) The Jaguars now add Ridley to an offense that got quality fantasy football output from WR Christian Kirk, WR Zay Jones, and TE Evan Engram in 2022. Projecting the 2023 target shares will be a challenge, but each remains an upside player. Ridley's best ball ADP has been all over the place this early draft season. He has climbed as high as WR16 in Underdog drafts and currently sits 20th there, four WR spots ahead of Kirk. FFPC drafters, meanwhile, have Ridley 29th among WRs -- two spots behind Kirk. The two also sit close together on other draft sites. Keep the ADP variations in mind as you decide both whether and where to draft each Jaguars wideout. The collective talent can only help QB Trevor Lawrence, who's going eighth at the position in FFPC drafts right now.
Jags QB Trevor Lawrence completed 24 of 39 passes for 217 yards, 1 TD and 1 INT in Saturday’s loss at Kansas City. Lawrence was up and down in this one, throwing a couple of passes (beyond the 1 INT) that should have been intercepted. However, this game could have turned out differently had Christian Kirk hauled in a beautifully thrown deep ball. Overall, Lawrence took a massive step forward in year 2. Future growth isn’t out of the question with newfound coaching stability — plus the impending arrival of Calvin Ridley.
Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence (toe) is active for today’s Divisional Round game vs. the Chiefs. He was limited in practice all week but shouldn’t be inhibited today. Lawrence posted a 259-2-0 passing line in Kansas City back in Week 10. The Chiefs finished the regular season 31st in adjusted fantasy points allowed to QBs.
Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence (toe) practiced in a limited fashion all week and is officially questionable for Saturday's Divisional Round game vs. the Chiefs. This trend of Lawrence being questionable with his toe issue is nothing new and shouldn't prevent him from suiting up this weekend. The Chiefs' defense ranks as the 2nd-best matchup in adjusted fantasy points allowed to QBs. It's a good spot for Lawrence on paper, but it's hard to get the taste of the 4 INTs that Lawrence threw in the 1st half vs. the Chargers last week out of our mouths. We're not as keen on the second-year signal caller as a result.
Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence (toe) was a limited participant in practice again on Wednesday. We expect Lawrence to suit up for Saturday's Divisional Round game vs. the Chiefs barring any unforeseen change. We'll update his status again tomorrow.
Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence (toe) logged limited participation on Tuesday ahead of Saturday's Divisional Round matchup vs. the Jaguars. The second-year QB has practiced lightly over the last several weeks with this injury without ultimately missing a game. We expect the same for Saturday. We'll keep an eye on this in case something changes.
Jags QB Trevor Lawrence rebounded from 4 first-half INTs to post 288 yards and 4 TDs against Los Angeles. His scores went to Evan Engram, Christian Kirk, Zay Jones and Marvin Jones. In a true stunner, Jacksonville climbed out of a 27-0 hole, taking its only lead on Riley Patterson’s game-winning FG. Assuming the Bills and Bengals pick up wins today, Lawrence will travel to Kansas City next week. The Chiefs held him to 259-2 on 40 attempts back in Week 10.
Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence (toe) is active for tonight's game against the Chargers, as expected. Lawrence has carried "questionable" labels since sustaining the injury at Detroit in Week 13. He has yet to miss game time for it, though. WR Jamal Agnew (shoulder) is also active.
Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence (toe) practiced in a limited capacity all week and is listed as questionable for Saturday's Wild Card game vs. the Chargers. The second-year QB has dealt with this ailment for some time without missing a game. We expect Lawrence to suit up barring a last-minute surprise. Lawrence hasn’t cracked 230 yards since Week 14 vs. the Titans. The Chargers' defense he's staring down this weekend ranks 10th in Football Outsiders' pass defense DVOA and 13th-toughest in adjusted fantasy points allowed to QBs. He's a middle of the pack QB consideration for playoff fantasy formats this week.
Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence (toe) practiced in a limited fashion again on Wednesday. We don't anticipate this injury preventing him from playing in Saturday's Wild Card game vs. the Chargers. Check back tomorrow for further information.
