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).
Trevor Lawrence’s bad luck continued after suffering a nasty, game-ending hit last Sunday against the Texans. The quarterback was placed on injured reserve this week due to a shoulder injury, ruling out any possibility of him returning this season. It’s a crushing blow for the 2-10 Jaguars, who have struggled to score even when their franchise passer was playing. Now, with the team once again turning to backup Mac Jones ($5,000), the fantasy outlook for Jacksonville’s offensive weapons looks bleak ahead of a matchup with the Titans.
Is Mac Jones a viable fantasy option this week? Are there any players in this game managers can feel comfortable starting? Meghan (@mtownsleyy) and Steve (@SBuchanan24) broke down Jacksonville’s offense during Friday’s edition of Injury Report Live:
- Considering the Jaguars have nothing to play for, it would be a shock to see Lawrence play again this season.
- At just $5,000 against a middling defense, Jones is a tempting DFS pick. The former Patriots quarterback looked good against Houston last week, throwing for 235 yards and two touchdowns.
- In addition to Jones, Will Levis ($5,000) and Calvin Ridley ($5,700) are an interesting pairing for those in search of a QB-WR stack this weekend.
