Trevor Lawrence Injury Update for Fantasy Football
Lawrence looked fine physically on the field the entire game. However, after the loss, Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said the quarterback is in the concussion protocol.
It's unclear when Lawrence potentially suffered the head injury, but the quarterback did take a big hit toward the end of the game on a scramble. Ravens linebacker Roquan Smith hit him in the head before he was taken down and bent backward. Lawrence got up, though, and appeared to be fine, just shaking his hand.
With Lawrence placed in the concussion protocol, he will need to clear the five steps in order to play in Week 16 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. If not, C.J. Beathard would likely draw the start.
Trevor Lawrence Fantasy Football Outlook
Lawrence has not lived up to fantasy expectations in his third NFL season. He's only averaging 17.6 fantasy points per game this season, while currently ranking as the QB11. But his play has been much better in recent weeks.
From Week 11 to Week 14, Lawrence scored the most fantasy points among all players during that span. That four-game stretch saw the Jaguars quarterback finish as a top-seven fantasy quarterback in three of four games, including a QB1 finish in Week 11 against the Tennessee Titans.
If Lawrence can clear the concussion protocol by Sunday, he should have another great game against a Tampa Bay Buccaneers secondary that has struggled against the pass this season. Tampa Bay has given up the fifth-most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks this year. The Jaguars quarterback will be a solid option in 10-plus team leagues in Week 16, assuming he can play.
