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 RB Tank Bigsby (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. He got banged up in last week's loss to the Vikings, finishing with just two carries on 10 snaps. HC Doug Pederson said afterward that it was "nothing serious," but Bigsby's status bears monitoring over the next few days. His absence would make RB Travis Etienne a more palatable fantasy play against the Lions on Sunday.
Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) won't play vs. the Lions this weekend, HC Doug Pederson said Wednesday. Jacksonville gets a Week 12 bye, so perhaps we see Lawrence again in Week 13. But he's reportedly considering season-ending surgery on his injured left shoulder. Lawrence has no reason to rush back to the soon-to-be 2-9 Jags. QB Mac Jones gets another start on Sunday after an ugly Week 10: 111 yards, 0 TDs, and 2 INTs. That came against a tough Vikings defense, but this weekend's matchup against the Lions isn't much easier. Jones isn't a recommended play in any format and makes Jacksonville's skill-position players tough to trust.
Jaguars RB Tank Bigsby injured his ankle in the first quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Vikings and is officially questionable to return. We'll update his status when we know more.
Update: Bigsby returned later in the first quarter.
Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence (left shoulder) is officially inactive for today’s game vs. the Vikings. It sounds like he’s still deciding whether to have surgery on this shoulder, which would end his season. We’ll keep you updated on Lawrence’s status. QB Mac Jones gets the start today.
Jaguars WR Gabe Davis (shoulder) is active for today’s game vs. the Vikings. He’s reached double-digit PPR points just once all season and will be catching passes from QB Mac Jones in this one. Davis is a weak fantasy option.
Jaguars WR Brian Thomas (chest) is active for today’s game vs. the Vikings. He caught just two balls for 22 yards playing through this injury last week, but he registered a 91% snap rate. QB Mac Jones is a bigger concern for Thomas' Week 10 fantasy outlook than the chest injury.
Jaguars WRs Brian Thomas (chest) and Gabe Davis (shoulder) are expected to play vs. the Vikings today, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Thomas played through his injury last week and never seemed to be in danger of missing this one. Davis sat out last week and would be a shaky fantasy play today, especially with QB Mac Jones at the controls. Davis' return should push WR Parker Washington back into the slot, giving him a favorable matchup against CB Byron Murphy.
ESPN's Adam Schefter confirms that Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence (left shoulder) won't play against the Vikings today. "The question is whether Lawrence will make it back for next Sunday vs. the Lions or whether the team will give him one more week off with Jacksonville’s bye coming the week after," Schefter adds. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport hears that Lawrence is dealing with a "significant AC joint sprain" that could eventually require surgery, "though the current plan is for rest and rehab." QB Mac Jones will make his Jaguars debut today.
Jaguars WR Gabe Davis (shoulder) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Vikings. We’re expecting him to play, but Davis is far from a fantasy option with QB Mac Jones under center.
Jaguars WR Brian Thomas (chest) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Vikings. He played through this injury last week, so we're fully expecting him to be out there against Minnesota. Thomas posted a season-worst 2-22-0 line last week but played 91% of the offensive snaps. QB Mac Jones is a bigger concern for Thomas' Week 10 fantasy outlook than the chest injury.
Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence (left shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Vikings after a limited week of practice. HC Doug Pederson admitted on Friday, though, that Lawrence is unlikely to play. That’ll leave QB Mac Jones at the helm for his first start in almost a year. Jones’ career passing numbers are similar to Lawrence’s, but we’re still considering him a downgrade for Jacksonville’s offense.
Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence is dealing with a left shoulder injury and continuing to get treatment. He has been labeled as day-to-day, but now is unlikely to play this Sunday while options are considered. There appear to be a wide range of outcomes for Lawrence and more missed games could be in his future. Mac Jones would be slated to start if Lawrence can't go.
Jaguars HC Doug Pederson said QB Trevor Lawrence is dealing with "upper-body" soreness and will be limited in Wednesday's practice. He wouldn't commit to Lawrence being available for this weekend's game vs. the Vikings. Jacksonville notably signed QB C.J. Beathard off Miami's practice squad on Wednesday for more depth. QB Mac Jones would start against Minnesota if Lawrence is unable. We'll keep you updated on the situation. Lawrence's absence would be a downgrade for Jacksonville's offense, although Jones is one of the better backups in the league.
WR Austin Trammell operated as the No. 3 WR in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. He ran a route on 65.7% of Trevor Lawrence's 35 dropbacks, trailing Brian Thomas Jr. (97.1%) and Parker Washington (94.3%) at the position. Trammell drew 3 targets and tallied 2 receptions for 40 yards.
WR Parker Washington worked as Jacksonville's No. 2 wideout in Sunday's loss to the Eagles, nearly matching WR Brian Thomas Jr. in snaps (49-46) and pass routes (34-33). His 6 targets ranked second on the team, behind only TE Evan Engram.
Jaguars RB Travis Etienne got the start Sunday in his return from a two-game hamstring absence. But he logged just 5 total touches and played fewer snaps than Tank Bigsby in the loss to the Eagles.
Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence ran for just 8 yards on five attempts in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. But he found the end zone with two of them and finished Sunday as the No. 9 fantasy QB by ESPN scoring. Lawrence added just 169 yards passing, completing 16 of 31 passes, with no TDs and 2 INTs.
Jaguars WR Brian Thomas (chest) is active for today’s game vs. the Eagles. WR Gabe Davis (shoulder) is inactive. The chest injury adds some risk to Thomas’ Week 9 fantasy profile, but he also carries elevated target upside with Davis and WR Christian Kirk out. See where Thomas sits in the Week 9 WR Rankings.
Jaguars RBs Travis Etienne (hamstring) and Tank Bigsby (ankle) are active for today’s game vs. the Eagles. We’ll see exactly how carries are split between them in Etienne’s first action since Week 6. But Etienne is a strong bet to handle passing-down work. That’s important with the Jaguars 7.5-point underdogs in Philadelphia.
Jaguars WR Brian Thomas (chest) is expected to play vs. the Eagles today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. But WR Gabe Davis is considered a "long shot." Davis figures to be replaced by WR Tim Jones, who is not a fantasy option. Thomas carries elevated risk playing through the chest injury, but there's also exciting target upside with Davis and WR Christian Kirk out.
