Trevor Lawrence Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence injured his left leg taking a sack in the 2nd quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Lions. We'll pass along an update when we get one. QB C.J. Beathard is Jacksonville's backup.

Update: Lawrence returned for the start of the 2nd half.

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence racked up a season-high 321 yards and 3 TDs in Sunday's win over the Ravens. He found RB JaMycal Hasty, WR Jamal Agnew and WR Marvin Jones Jr. for TDs, with WR Zay Jones as his dominant lead target (11-145). Lawrence completed 78.4% of his passes, adding a 2-point conversion throw to Jones for the game-winning points. That makes 3 straight games with better than 70% completions for Lawrence, who gets upside matchups with the Lions and Titans the next 2 weeks.

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence ran for a season-high 53 yards in Sunday's win over the Raiders. He matched his season high of 6 rushing attempts from Week 6. Lawrence has increased his rushes over the past 5 contests (4.6 per game) vs. the first 4 (2.5). He also went 25-of-31 passing against Las Vegas, for 235 yards and 1 TD. The 109 passer rating marked just his 2nd game among the past 6 with a rating better than 84.3. The Jaguars head to Kansas City in Week 10.

The Falcons are trading WR Calvin Ridley to the Jaguars in exchange for what NFL Network's Ian Rapoport calls a "complex draft compensation that can be worth at maximum a 2023 5th rounder and a 2024 2nd rounder." We'll pass along further details on the return when we have them. Ridley, of course, is suspended for at least the rest of the 2022 season for gambling on NFL games. He'll be able to apply for reinstatement in February. Assuming that gets granted, he'll join Jacksonville as a 28-year-old with a 1,374-yard 2020 season under his belt. It's a risky move for the Jaguars, but one that could pay off big time. Ridley and Christian Kirk have the potential to be a strong duo for QB Trevor Lawrence, who's had an up-and-down start to his NFL career.

Update: Per Rapoport, the 2024 draft pick starts as a 4th-rounder. It becomes a 3rd if Ridley hits a play-time milestone and a 2nd if Ridley agrees to a long-term deal with Jacksonville.

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence threw for just 133 yards in Sunday morning's loss to the Broncos, with 1 TD and a pair of INTs. Lawrence threw right into the grip of S Justin Simmons at the goal line in the 2nd quarter, and then tossed the clinching pick to CB K'Waun Williams late. TE Evan Engram led the Jags in receptions (4) and receiving yards (55), and snagged the TD pass. WR Christian Kirk led with 7 targets but managed just 3 catches for 40 yards. Jacksonville gets a favorable draw against the Raiders in Week 9.

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence threw for 310 yards and claimed a 1-yard TD on the ground in Sunday's loss to the Giants. It wasn't his most efficient passing day. Despite taking 0 sacks and avoiding turnovers, Lawrence completed just 22 of his 43 attempts (51.2%). His 3 rushing TDs over the past 2 games have saved otherwise lackluster fantasy outings. All 3 came from 2 yards out or closer, though, and Lawrence is averaging just 12 rushing yards per game. Lawrence did plenty of scoring on the ground near the goal line in college, but his recent rushing-TD binge looks more luck-driven than projectable factor.

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence endured a 2nd straight rough outing in Sunday's loss to the Texans. He completed just 53.2% of his passes and threw 2 INTs, with no TDs. That marks 2 straight games with multiple turnovers after a much stronger start to the year. Lawrence sent 11 targets to WR Marvin Jones, 10 to TE Evan Engram and 8 to WR Zay Jones, who returned after missing Week 4 with an ankle sprain. WR Christian Kirk drew just 3 looks but led Jacksonville pass-catchers in snaps and routes. The Jaguars get a Week 6 rematch with the Colts, who they beat 24-0 in Week 2. Then comes a home date with the Giants.

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence threw an INT and lost 4 fumbles in Sunday's rain-soaked loss in Philadelphia. He also managed just 11 of 23 passing for 174 yards. Lawrence did hit WR Jamal Agnew for a pair of TDs, but the 5 turnovers wiped out all fantasy value. Lawrence and the Jacksonville offense get a nice rebound matchup at home with Houston in Week 5.

Jaguars WR Zay Jones (ankle) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Eagles. That leaves WRs Jamal Agnew, Tim Jones and Kendric Pryor behind Christian Kirk and Marvin Jones. Kirk, Marvin Jones, TE Evan Engram and RB Travis Etienne could pick up extra volume with Zay Jones out.

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence had a terrific outing in Sunday's surprising lopsided victory over the Chargers. He completed 71.8% of passes for 262 yards and 3 TDs on the road, finding WRs Zay Jones, Christian Kirk and Marvin Jones for scores. That trio also finished top 3 for Jacksonville in targets, with Zay Jones leading the group in targets (11), receptions (10) and yards (85). Next comes a tough road trip at a Philly defense that has shut down Minnesota and Washington the past 2 weeks.

Jaguars WR Christian Kirk had an efficient Sunday, catching all 6 of his targets for 78 yards and a pair of TDs in the 24-0 win over the Colts. Kirk trailed TE Evan Engram by 2 targets but earned a solid 20% share of QB Trevor Lawrence's total attempts. The QB went 25-of-30 passing for 235 yards and the 2 scores to Kirk. Engram hauled in 7 of his 8 looks for 46 yards. Marvin Jones and Zay Jones again tracked close with Kirk in routes, while Engram increased his rate vs. Week 1 to join them. We'd bet on this quartet seeing a lot of the field together, with Kirk the most common target leader. The Joneses caught 3 passes apiece against Indy, with Marvin garnering 5 targets and Bay 4.

Jags QB Trevor Lawrence completed 24 of 42 passes for 275 yards, 1 TD and 1 INT in a Week 1 loss at Washington. The so-so fantasy line should have been better, as the 2nd-year passer overthrew Travis Etienne in the end zone. Later, Etienne dropped a ball just shy of the goal line. Lawrence’s lone TD went to James Robinson. Expect Lawrence to remain a QB2 for Sunday’s game against Indy.

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence says left-shoulder surgery last February kept him from getting into optimal shape in his rookie season. "I didn't really feel like I could get my body in shape the way I wanted," he said at a Monday press conference. "I was in shape, but as far as my arm, I would've liked to be a little sharper. I feel like my arm got a lot stronger this offseason." That's good to hear from a 2nd-year QB whose upside we already liked. Jacksonville's upgrades to the coaching staff and surrounding talent make Lawrence an intriguing pick anywhere in QB2 territory of fantasy football drafts.

Jaguars HC Doug Pederson announced Tuesday that QB Trevor Lawrence and RB Travis Etienne will not play in Thursday night's Hall of Fame game, the preseason opener. This is not a surprise. Starters rarely make more than a cameo in the "game." We'll see how much preseason action Lawrence and Etienne get beyond that. In the meantime, get fired up for Thursday night's Jake Luton Show. (QB C.J. Beathard also won't play.)
