At his introductory press conference on Monday as the Jacksonville Jaguars' new head coach, Liam Coen said that he plans on building around quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who was the first overall pick back in 2021 out of Clemson. "How do we make Trevor Lawrence and this offense as dynamic and explosive as we can be? We've got to build it around him, we've got to make every part of this about improvement, and he will be a part of that process," Coen said. "He's earned that right. I cannot respect his toughness and mentality and work ethic more than I do already from afar. This will all be about Trevor." The 25-year-old so far has not lived up to his draft stock in four NFL seasons, and he played in a career-low 10 games in 2024 due to shoulder and concussion issues. Lawrence's fantasy stock has never been lower, but Coen's bright offensive mind should give him an opportunity to bounce back as a QB2 in 2025.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) underwent surgery on Tuesday to fix his left AC joint sprain and is expected to return for spring workouts, according to head coach Doug Pederson. The Jaguars had to wait for Lawrence to clear the league's concussion protocol before he was cleared to go under the knife for his shoulder injury. The 25-year-old former first overall pick was placed on Injured Reserve on Dec. 4 and will obviously miss the rest of what was an extremely disappointing season in his fourth year in the league. In single-QB leagues next fall, fantasy managers will be avoiding Lawrence everywhere after he completed only 60.6 percent of his 284 pass attempts for a career-low 2,045 passing yards, 11 touchdowns and seven interceptions in 10 starts. He finished as the QB7 in 2022 and as the QB12 a year ago before bottoming out in 2024.

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson confirmed on Friday that quarterback Trevor Lawrence (concussion, shoulder) will have surgery to fix a sprained AC joint in his left (non-throwing) shoulder. However, Lawrence must first clear the league's concussion protocol before surgery is scheduled. The former first overall pick out of Clemson suffered a scary concussion in the Week 13 loss to the division-rival Houston Texans and was placed on Injured Reserve. Although Lawrence would be eligible to return in the Week 18 regular-season finale, the Jaguars are shutting him down for the season and will have him undergo surgery on his shoulder. The 25-year-old should be fully ready for the start of the 2025 season next fall, but after a very disappointing 2024 campaign, Lawrence will probably go undrafted next year in standard 12-team, one-QB fantasy leagues.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (concussion, shoulder), who was put on Injured Reserve on Wednesday, will miss the rest of the season and is expected to have surgery to fix a significant AC joint injury in his left (non-throwing) shoulder in the coming weeks, according to sources. Lawrence is expected to make a full recovery for the 2025 season. In addition to his shoulder ailment, the 25-year-old former first overall pick suffered a concussion on an illegal hit in the Week 13 loss to the division-rival Houston Texans on Sunday. It ends a disappointing fourth season in the NFL, as he'll finish with a 60.6 completion percentage for a career-low 2,045 passing yards, 11 touchdowns and seven interceptions in 10 starts. While Lawrence should be ready for Week 1 of 2025, he won't be more than a low-end QB2 for fantasy purposes. Mac Jones will now start the final five games for the Jags in 2024.
Dec 4, 2024 7:32 PM EST
According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (concussion) was placed on the injured reserve. While Lawrence could return for their final game of the season in Week 18, fantasy managers should not plan on him suiting up as the Jaguars are far from playoff contention and may opt to rest their franchise quarterback. Lawrence sustained this concussion last weekend during their loss to the Houston Texans. Fantasy managers should expect former first-round selection Mac Jones to serve as the QB1 for the remaining five games, with C.J. Beathard serving as the backup. Jones received two starts earlier this season and averaged 124.5 passing yards per game with a 0:3 TD:INT ratio. Jones should only be viewed as a desperation QB2 in deep Superflex formats.
Dec 4, 2024 4:19 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said that quarterback Trevor Lawrence (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol and will not practice on Wednesday. It doesn't come as much of a surprise, as Pederson said earlier this week that the team still hasn't decided if Lawrence will even be able to play again in the final five weeks of the season after suffering a scary concussion in the Week 13 loss to the division-rival Houston Texans on an illegal hit by linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair. The 25-year-old former first overall pick stayed down on the ground for a while and had to be carted off the field. Especially at 2-10 on the year, the Jaguars have no incentive to rush their franchise signal-caller back, so Mac Jones is likely to make his third start of the year this Sunday versus the division-rival Tennessee Titans. In addition to a concussion, Lawrence played through a sprained AC joint in his left (non-throwing) shoulder last weekend.
Dec 4, 2024 12:01 PM EST
Per Kainani Stevens of the team, Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (shoulder, concussion) has had no decisions made about "if/when he will return this season." It's concerning news for Lawrence, who lasted only 19 snaps before exiting Sunday's outing after an unnecessary late blow to the head. That's on top of the shoulder surgery he's potentially still due for despite stating that he wants to play the rest of this season. It's truly a mess of a situation. With the 25-year-old still in the league's protocol, he may miss Week 14's matchup against the Tennessee Titans. If he does, teammate Mac Jones projects to serve in his stead again. Watch for news on Lawrence over the next few days ahead of the team's road tilt.
Dec 2, 2024 3:10 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (concussion) is now in the NFL's concussion protocol after taking a cheap shot to the head as he slid at the end of a run. The former number-one overall pick took to Twitter/X and said that he is home and alright, so that comes as good news for the Jaguars. Ian Rapoport says that they still don't know when Lawrence will return as of right now, so fantasy managers will want to stay tuned for updates as the week progresses. Mac Jones will likely be under center for any games Lawrence has to miss.
Dec 2, 2024 10:15 AM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (concussion) exited Sunday's game against the Houston Texans after taking a nasty hit. The signal-caller missed the Jags' previous two contests because of a shoulder injury. Unfortunately, he wasn't on the field long, finishing with only 41 yards and one pick off 4-for-10 passing. Head coach Doug Pederson was understandably disgusted with the play that resulted in his quarterbacks premature departure. He also revealed that Lawrence is now in concussion protocol while being unable to offer more details. At any rate, there's a chance Lawrence could miss time, meaning Mac Jones, who threw two touchdowns in Week 13, could find himself back under center versus the Titans.
Dec 1, 2024 5:49 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (head/concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Houston Texans. As he tried to slide for a first down, Azeez Al-Shaair delivered a cheap shot straight to Lawrence's head. The Jaguars retaliated for the dirty hit while Lawrence had to be carted off the field and will be tested for a concussion. Mac Jones has taken over under center for the rest of the game.
Dec 1, 2024 2:33 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Houston Texans. He had been listed as questionable, and while head coach Doug Pederson acknowledged Lawrence wouldn't be 100 percent, the expectation was that he would be able to play. His return to the lineup gives the Jaguars a break from Mac Jones, who delivered zero touchdowns and four interceptions as the team's fill-in starter. Lawrence should be treated as a mid-range fantasy QB2 this Sunday.
Dec 1, 2024 11:41 AM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) is expected to take the field for the Week 13 matchup against the Houston Texans. Lawrence is listed as questionable but head coach Doug Pederson said he expects Lawrence to play. It's worth noting that Lawrence isn't 100 percent healthy yet and the team hasn't ruled out offseason surgery. He hasn't suited up since Week 9 and Lawrence wasn't playing great before that game. Fantasy managers should consider Lawrence a QB2 for his first game back, assuming he's able to play.
Dec 1, 2024 9:44 AM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) remains questionable for Sunday's matchup versus the Houston Texans. The team already expects the signal-caller to return from a two-game absence. However, according to NFL media's Ian Rapoport, Lawrence is "adamant" he'll be back, which adds further clarity to the situation. Of course, anything can happen, meaning fantasy managers shouldn't dismiss the possibility of seeing Mac Jones under center. But if Lawrence is officially on the field in Week 13, he has some value for those participating in multi-QB fantasy formats. His expected presence is also good news for Brian Thomas Jr. and Evan Engram.
Nov 30, 2024 4:46 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) is questionable to play in Week 13 against the division-rival Houston Texans on Sunday, but the team is expecting him to return after a two-game absence due to a sprained AC joint in his left (non-throwing) shoulder. Lawrence looked much more comfortable while throwing in Friday's practice despite being listed as limited for the third straight day this week coming out of the bye. If he plays in his first game since Nov. 3, the former first overall pick will have no limitations, according to head coach Doug Pederson. The Jaguars offense had a combined 313 yards and 13 points in losses to the Vikings and Lions with Mac Jones filling in under center in the team's last two games. Lawrence will be a major upgrade for Jacksonville's offense, having completed 61.3% of his passes for 2,004 yards, 11 TDs and six picks in 2024. He'll be on the map as a QB2 in Week 13.
Nov 29, 2024 6:28 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (left shoulder) is trending toward playing in Week 13 against the Houston Texans, head coach Doug Pederson said on Friday. Pederson noted that, as of right now, he expects the former No. 1 pick to be active as Jacksonville's starter. Lawrence was a limited participant on Thursday but has evidently made enough progress since missing Weeks 10 and 11. The 25-year-old has completed 61.3 percent of his passes for 2,004 rushing yards, 11 touchdowns, and six interceptions through nine games this season. He also has three rushing touchdowns. The Jaguars have struggled to mount scoring drives in 2024, but Lawrence's mobility and the projected negative game script keep him in the mid-range fantasy QB2 tier this weekend.
Nov 29, 2024 11:52 AM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) remained a limited participant during Thursday's practice. Lawrence has been sidelined since sustaining this shoulder injury during Week 9's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to Friday's injury report as Lawrence would likely carry an injury designation into the weekend if he is unable to update to a full participant. Before the injury, the Clemson product struggled to find consistency this season as he averaged just 222.7 passing yards in each game with an 11:6 TD:INT ratio. If Lawrence can suit up, fantasy managers should view him as a low-end QB1 facing a weak Houston secondary that has allowed the ninth-most PPR points to opposing QBS this season.
Nov 28, 2024 5:15 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) said that surgery isn't being ruled out during or after the season for his AC joint sprain in his left (non-throwing) shoulder. However, Lawrence said he wants to play the rest of the season. He obviously would be ruled out for the rest of the year if he undergoes surgery before the end of the season. The good news is that after missing each of the team's last two games, the former first overall pick out of Clemson was able to return to practice on Wednesday coming out of the bye week. The 25-year-old is scheduled to take most of the first-team reps on Wednesday, which means he could be in line to return to start in Week 13 against the division-rival Houston Texans. Mac Jones and the Jags offense looked anemic without Lawrence the last two games, so his return this weekend would be great news for the entire Jacksonville offense.
Nov 27, 2024 2:45 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) will practice on Wednesday and is expected to get the majority of first-team reps, head coach Doug Pederson told the media. Pederson noted that this development is an encouraging sign for Lawrence, who is trying to get healthy and return to the starting role in Week 13. Mac Jones has filled in for Lawrence over the last two games, completing just 60.7 percent of his passes for 249 yards, zero touchdowns, three interceptions, and one last fumble. Lawrence's results have not been terrific this year, but he's an upgrade over Jones and would give the Jaguars a better chance against the Houston Texans in Sunday's divisional battle.
Nov 27, 2024 11:28 AM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said that quarterback Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) will practice on Monday to give the team an idea where he's at coming off the bye week. An AC joint sprain in his left (non-throwing) shoulder has kept Lawrence out for the team's last two games, but the 25-year-old could be making enough progress to give him a shot to return for the Week 13 contest on Sunday against the division-rival Houston Texans. Lawrence's status for the upcoming weekend will all depend on how he looks and feels as he ramps up his throwing in practices. He's expected to need surgery eventually, but the Jaguars are hoping to put that off until the postseason. Lawrence returning under center would make all of Jacksonville's offensive skill players more interesting from a fantasy perspective. If Lawrence is inactive again in Week 13, expect Mac Jones to make his third straight start.
Nov 25, 2024 12:12 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said on Wednesday that quarterback Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) will not play in Week 11 against the Detroit Lions. However, Pederson is optimistic that Lawrence can play in Week 13 against the division-rival Houston Texans following the team's bye in Week 12. There were reports that Lawrence might miss the rest of the season due to an AC joint sprain in his left (non-throwing) shoulder, but that seems unlikely now as long as he doesn't suffer a setback as he rehabs. Mac Jones will make his second straight start this Sunday after going 14-for-22 for 111 yards, no TDs, two interceptions and a fumble in the Week 10 loss to the Vikings. The Lions defense/special teams unit will be a popular streamer this week against the Jags with Lawrence missing a second straight game. Jones should be considered a low-end, low-upside QB2 in superflex fantasy leagues.
