Trevor Lawrence Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence (ankle, concussion) did not practice on Wednesday. HC Doug Pederson said earlier in the day that Lawrence is "progressing well," but the fact that he didn't practice today means that he still has a lot of progressing to do. Fantasy owners should not be banking on Lawrence playing vs. the Bucs this weekend.

Jaguars HC Doug Pederson said Wednesday that QB Trevor Lawrence remains in the concussion protocol but is "progressing well." It's still more likely than not that Lawrence misses Sunday's game vs. Bucs, but we'll continue to track his status over the next few days.

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence entered the concussion protocol after Sunday night's loss to the Ravens. HC Doug Pederson said Lawrence sustained the injury on one of his scrambles during the team's final drive. Lawrence obviously faces high risk of missing next Sunday's matchup with the Buccaneers, though a number of players have recently returned after less than a week in the protocol. (Whether that should be the case ... we'll leave to the neurologists.) If Lawrence can't go, C.J. Beathard would fill in for what should be an upside passing matchup. That would downgrade the key Jacksonville pass-catchers but not doom their fantasy outlooks. We'll watch the situation throughout the week.

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence completed 25 of 43 passes for 264 yards with 1 TD in Week 15’s loss vs. the Ravens. He and the offense struggled at several points on Sunday night, including mishandling a hurry-up situation at the end of the first half that failed to yield a score and Lawrence’s two lost fumbles in the contest. Following the game by Jaguars HC Doug Pederson, it was revealed that Lawrence had been entered into NFL concussion protocol. Week 16’s matchup vs. the Buccaneers (seventh-best QB matchup per our adjusted fantasy points allowed) is a good spot for Lawrence to bounce back, but it’ll be vital to follow the team’s injury reports this week regarding his availability.

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence (ankle) is officially active for today’s game vs. the Browns. He’s playing just six days after suffering what was reported as a high-ankle sprain. Lawrence is very unlikely to have his usual mobility inside the pocket or his rushing ability outside of it today. Facing Cleveland’s sixth-ranked QB defense, Lawrence is not a recommended QB1 play.

The Jaguars are "planning" for QB Trevor Lawrence to start today's game vs. the Browns, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Lawrence's ankle will be evaluated in pregame warmups before a final decision is made. He's just six days removed from a high-ankle sprain but got in two limited practices to close the week and is "feeling better than expected," according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. It's still tough to imagine that Lawrence will have much mobility inside or out of the pocket. Throw in the matchup against Cleveland's sixth-ranked QB defense, and Lawrence is not a recommended starter in 1-QB fantasy leagues. His availability is good news for Jacksonville's skill-position players, though.

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.
