Jacksonville Jaguars Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

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 (toe) did not practice on Wednesday. He played -- and played very well -- through this injury last week, so he should be fine for Sunday's game vs. the Cowboys.

Jaguars TE Evan Engram racked up 11 catches for 162 yards and 2 TDs in Sunday's victory over the Titans. He accounted for 35.7% of Jacksonville targets, 36.7% of receptions and 44% of receiving yards. Engram beat his previous highs for this season by 5 receptions and 93 yards, and he doubled his season TD total. The next 2 weeks present significantly tougher passing matchups in the Cowboys and Jets.

Jaguars RB Travis Etienne ran for just 32 yards on 17 carries (1.9 per rush) in Sunday's win over the Titans. Etienne also drew 0 targets, despite easily leading the backfield in pass routes. It continued a season-long trend of Jacksonville minimizing Etienne's presence in the passing game, which hurts both his fantasy floor and ceiling. Jacksonville gets a Week 15 home date with the Cowboys, who entered Sunday as a top-8 defense against both the pass (1st) and run, according to Football Outsiders' DVOA.

Jaguars S Andre Cisco (shoulder) is inactive for today's game against the Titans. Andrew Wingard played every snap in Cisco's place last week and figures to be in the lineup again.

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence (toe) is active for today’s game vs. the Titans. He only got in a limited practice on Friday, so it’s safe to assume that Lawrence won’t be at 100% for this one.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler hears that Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence (toe) is expected to play vs. the Titans on Sunday. That's been the feeling all week, although Lawrence only got in a limited practice on Friday. We'll get Jacksonville's inactives around 11:30 am ET tomorrow.

The Jaguars have ruled LB Chad Mama (hamstring) out for Sunday's game against the Titans. That should move fellow rookie LB Devin Lloyd back into the starting lineup. S Andre Cisco (shoulder) is questionable after missing the last game. He managed limited practices all week. We'll check his status Sunday morning.

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence (toe) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Titans. He only got in a limited practice on Friday. It sounds like Lawrence will play on Sunday, but it’s clear that he’ll be operating at less than 100%. That adds risk to his Week 14 fantasy profile.

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence (toe) missed practice again on Thursday. He said that he expects to play against the Titans this weekend, but we wouldn't consider him a lock at this point -- especially considering the 4-8 Jaguars have little to play for. We'll get another update on Lawrence tomorrow.

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence is "day to day" with a left toe injury, HC Doug Pederson said Wednesday. Lawrence won't practice on Wednesday but is "progressing," per Pederson. “We've still got several days before the game," Pederson added. "But he's tough. He'll do everything he can in his power to try to be out there but, we'll just take it day by day." Lawrence was able to play through this injury last week, so we're tentatively expecting him to play vs. the Titans this weekend. But fantasy owners hoping to start Lawrence should line up a backup plan.

Jaguars LB Chad Muma left Sunday's loss to the Lions early with an ankle injury. HC Doug Pederson told reporters Monday that Muma is "day to day," according to the team website. If Muma can't go against the Titans this Sunday, then Devin Lloyd would likely be in line to return to the lineup.

Jaguars HC Doug Pederson wouldn't commit Monday to QB Trevor Lawrence being ready to play Sunday against the Titans. Lawrence took a scary shot to the left knee at the end of the 1st half in the Week 13 loss at Detroit. But he returned after the break and finished out the game. Here's what Pederson had to say Monday: "I think things are trending in the right direction. It's really not the knee. It's actually the foot and the toe area. Knee was checked out today; he's good there. No issues. Obviously sore from the hit. But we're still getting some more testing done on his foot and toe area." We'll track Lawrence's status this week but expect him to be ready for Week 14.

Jaguars WR Christian Kirk led the team in targets (8), receptions (6) and receiving yards (104) in Sunday's blowout loss at Detroit. TE Evan Engram tied WR Zay Jones for 2nd on the team with 7 targets, catching 5 for 30 yards. That included a 3-yard TD, the team's only TD of the game. It was Kirk's 2nd game of 100+ yards among the past 3. Engram's 5 receptions matched his combined total for the previous 3 contests. Jacksonville now heads to Tennessee in Week 14 to face a defense that's much tougher against the run than the pass.

Jaguars RB Travis Etienne returned Sunday after leaving Week 12 early with a foot injury. But he carried just 13 times for a pedestrian 54 yards and added only 12 yards on 3 catches. RB Snoop Conner handled the only other backfield touch: a 6-yard carry. RB JaMycal Hasty didn't touch the ball. Etienne and his group get a tough draw in Week 14 against the Titans' #1 run defense.

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence overcame a scary shot to his left knee at the end of the 1st half Sunday against the Lions. He returned after the break and made it through the game, giving way to C.J. Beathard for only the final possession of the blowout loss. Lawrence managed just 17-of-31 passing, though, for 179 yards and 1 TD. The disappointing outing followed Lawrence's best 3-game stretch of the season. That makes it tough to know how to treat Lawrence for next week's 1st meeting of the year with the Titans. Tennessee just finished getting beat up by Eagles QB Jalen Hurts and his WRs and has proved much tougher in run defense than against the pass.

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 S Andre Cisco (shoulder) is inactive for today's game against the Lions. Daniel Thomas and Andrew Wingard stand as potential fill-ins.

Jaguars RB Travis Etienne (foot) is active for today’s game against the Lions. He was limited in practice all week and listed as questionable, so there’s some added risk here. But there have been no reports on Etienne’s touches being limited today.

Jaguars RB Travis Etienne (foot) is expected to play vs. the Lions today, ESPN's Adam Schefter confirms. As of now, there are no reports on Etienne's snaps or touches being limited today.

Jaguars RB Travis Etienne (foot) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Lions. HC Doug Pederson said Friday, though, that Etienne is “good to go.” We’ll keep an eye out for any reports on Etienne’s projected workload, but he’s a pretty much a must-start unless we hear that he’ll be limited on Sunday.
