Who Should I Start? Daniel Jones or Trevor Lawrence

Tuesday, December 9, 4:25 PM

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones (Achilles) was placed on Injured Reserve on Tuesday after suffering a season-ending torn Achilles in Sunday's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Head coach Shane Steichen said Jones is expected to undergo surgery "within the week." It's a devastating injury for Jones and the Colts after an incredible start to his tenure in Indianapolis. The 28-year-old was on pace for a career-best season, completing 68% of his passes for 3,101 yards, 19 touchdowns, and eight interceptions while adding 45 carries for 164 yards and five touchdowns on the ground. With rookie quarterback Riley Leonard (knee) considered week-to-week with a PCL sprain and Anthony Richardson Sr. (eye) on Injured Reserve, the Colts signed 44-year-old Philip Rivers to their practice squad on Tuesday. Rivers is expected to be the starter eventually, but it's to be determined if he or Brett Rypien will start in a tough Week 15 matchup on the road against the Seattle Seahawks.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (ankle) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice. Lawrence didn't have any kind of wrap on his ankle when addressing the media, though. It seems like a minor injury that shouldn't keep him out of the upcoming Week 15 matchup against the New York Jets on Sunday, but we'll continue to keep a close eye on his status over the next couple of days. Lawrence has played better lately, with multiple touchdown passes in three straight games. Fantasy managers should check back on Thursday and Friday for another update on his status. Lawrence should offer low-end QB1 value for this weekend as long as his ankle won't limit his mobility inside and outside of the pocket.
