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 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.
Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday night's game vs. the Saints. He got in limited practices on Tuesday and Wednesday. Lawrence has expressed optimism about his availability for Thursday night, and we're expecting him to play. But between the knee issue and a difficult matchup, he sits lower than usual in the Week 7 QB Rankings.
Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence told reporters on Tuesday that he's "optimistic" that he'll be able to play vs. the Saints on Thursday night, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. “But of course we'll have to make that decision on Thursday," Lawrence added. He was on the practice field on Tuesday with a brace on that injured left knee. Backup QB C.J. Beathard said he took the majority of the first-team reps but called Lawrence “very likely” to play on Thursday. Check back tomorrow for another update on Lawrence.
ESPN's Adam Schefter calls Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence "uncertain" for Thursday night's game vs. the Saints with his knee sprain. Lawrence's injury “is not a significant thing," a source tells Schefter. But the short turnaround comes at a bad time. We'll keep you updated on Lawrence's status over the next few days. QB C.J. Beathard is Jacksonville's backup.
Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence is currently considered "day-to-day" with his knee injury, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Lawrence is still scheduled for an MRI on Monday. "The belief is no major injury for Lawrence," Rapoport adds. "It's a quick turnaround for Thursday, but the hope is he's OK for it." We'll keep a close eye on Lawrence leading up to Thursday night's game vs. the Saints.
Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence hurt his left knee late in Sunday's win over the Colts. But we can't blame that for his lack of production. Lawrence's injury didn't occur until Jacksonville's last actual offensive play. QB C.J. Beathard came on for only three kneel-downs to close out the game. Before that, Lawrence threw for just 181 yards on 20-of-30 passing. That 6.0 yards per attempt marked Lawrence's second-lowest rate through the first six games -- in his first game with fewer than 200 passing yards. We're not sure there's a larger takeaway from this one, which found the Jags performing just OK on offense in the rematch with a division rival. Jacksonville netted a mere 233 total yards while benefiting from four Colts turnovers. Don't be surprised if Lawrence falls out of the top 12 at QB when we update our Week 7 rankings.
Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence injured his left knee in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Colts. It didn't look serious, but Lawrence has a quick turnaround for Thursday night's game vs. the Saints. We'll keep you updated on his status. QB C.J. Beathard is Jacksonville's backup.
Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence completed 25 passes on 37 attempts for 315 yards with 1 TD in Week 5’s win vs. the Bills. He added some nice yardage on the ground again this week, totaling 31 yards on 7 carries in the contest. Perhaps the Jags should consider playing all of their games overseas in London. This offense has looked considerably better over the last two weeks than it had to open the year. The issue, however, is that Lawrence still has yet to clear 20 fantasy points in a single game. Still, he’s worthy of being a low-end QB1 on a weekly basis and will be again in Week 6 vs. the Colts.
Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence completed 23 passes on 30 attempts for 201 yards with 1 TD in Week 4’s win vs. the Falcons. He also showed off his legs in London, totaling 42 yards on 8 carries in the contest. Sunday’s effort was the best we’ve seen from the Jaguars so far this season. Their defense lent a helping hand with a TD of their own, but managers worried about Lawrence and company ought to be encouraged by their results. Jacksonville will look to keep this momentum going in Week 5 vs. the Bills.
Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence completed 27 passes on 40 attempts for 279 yards with 1 TD and INT apiece in Week 3’s loss vs. the Texans. Something just isn’t clicking with this Jacksonville offense so far this season. Lawrence is now averaging 13.78 fantasy points per game through three weeks. We’d figured the Texans wouldn’t be such a tough obstacle for the Jaguars, so these results are pretty jarring. We’ll see if they can put anything together in Week 4 vs. the Falcons, though it might be time for legitimate concern.
The Jags mustered only 9 points in Sunday's loss to Kansas City. That meant a big-time dud from QB Trevor Lawrence, who tallied just 216 passing yards on a 53.6% completion rate. He managed only 5.3 yards per attempt. “We’re better than that. We’re a better team than that … it’s kind of embarrassing,” Lawrence said afterward. Calvin Ridley (2 catches) and Zay Jones (0 catches) played through minor knee injuries in this one, but we’re not expecting any missed time. Expect a Lawrence bounce back in Week 3 vs. Houston.
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.
