Every Friday at 3 p.m. ET, DraftKings Sportsbook analyst Steve Buchanan and NFL guru Meghan Townsley chop up the latest injury news on Injury Report Live! Check out what they have to say about this latest injury to Trevor Lawrence (shoulder).
The Jaguars are sitting Trevor Lawrence for the second week in a row, giving him an extra week of rest before their Week 12 bye. Looks like it’s Mac Jones time once again. Last week, Jones started under center against a daunting Minnesota defense that, well, put him in his place. With Jones struggling to get the offense going, wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. ($6,100) and tight end Evan Engram ($5,200) saw a decrease in production.
Can we trust the Jaguars’ receivers with Mac Jones manning the offense against another tough matchup in the Detroit Lions? Meghan (@mtownsleyy) and Steve (@SBuchanan24) broke it down on Friday’s edition of Injury Report Live:
- Steve simply cannot trust Mac Jones ($4,900) throwing the football. After a messy game last week (14/22, 111 yards, 2 INTS), Jones is set to face an extensive amount of pressure against a Lion’s defense that blitzes at the highest rate in the league (40.5%). Jones is an easy must-fade.

- Adding on to Steve’s critique of Jones, Meghan doesn’t think you can trust either Thomas Jr. ($6,100) or Engram ($5,200).
- The Lions linebackers have been playing especially well in the short and intermediate parts of the field, which is where Jones placed the majority of his attempts last week. Plus, the Lions are allowing the 2nd-least amount of fantasy points to tight ends this season.
