Team news: Jacksonville Jaguars

Thanks to their recent draft additions, the #Jaguars released WR Zay Jones and K Joel Slye.

Related Players: Brian Thomas Jr., Gabe Davis, Christian Kirk

The Jaguars have essentially revamped their entire wide receiver room outside of Christian Kirk. As it stands, it's probably a net-neutral for QB Trevor Lawrence, but it continues to set up Brian Thomas Jr. as the team's WR1, with Kirk operating out of the slot and Gabe Davis stretching the defenses.

The Jaguars officially have signed former Packers TE Josiah Deguara.

Related Players: Evan Engram, Luke Farrell

With the Packers drafting both Luke Musgrave and Tucker Kraft last season, Deguara ended up becoming expendable. Deguara earned 33 targets back in 2021 but hasn't matched that usage in the two seasons since. He will provide depth behind Evan Engram.

Gabe Davis agreed with the Jaguars to a 3 year deal for $39 million with incentives that could get him to $50 million.

Davis gives Trevor Lawrence a field-stretcher to compliment his underneath receivers. Davis himself will be a very inconsistent fantasy option, but Lawrence has plenty of touch to produce big plays for his new weapon from time to time.

Trade: Patriots are finalizing a deal to send QB Mac Jones to the Jacksonville Jaguars, sources tell ESPN. The trade cannot be processed until the new league year begins Wednesday and he passes a physical. The two sides were discussing a 6th-round pick, per sources.

Jones was born in Jacksonville; now he has the chance to go home.

Jones will return to his hometown to backup Trevor Lawrence in Jacksonville. He won't be more than a late-round best ball stab in Superflex formats, with no redraft value.

Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence’s status for this week’s game against the Panthers remains up in the air on Tuesday.

Head coach Doug Pederson said that Lawrence has been diagnosed with a sprained AC joint in his right shoulder after being injured in Sunday’s loss to the Buccaneers. Pederson said that Lawrence is “doing better today than he did yesterday,” but that he doesn’t expect Lawrence to practice on Wednesday.

It’s the third straight week that Lawrence is dealing with an injury as he suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 14 and a concussion in Week 15, the story pointed out. So far, he's been fortunate enough to bounce back and play but we'll have to continue to monitor Lawrence heading into this week's game.

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence was ruled out for the remainder of Sunday’s game against the Buccaneers with a shoulder injury.

A nightmare day continues for the Jaguars. At one point, the Jaguars were down 30-0 and now have watched their quarterback get injured for the second time in three weeks. The Jaguars have quickly gone from No. 1 seed contender to squarely on the playoff bubble. C.J. Beathard is in at quarterback.

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence cleared concussion protocol and will travel with the team to Tampa Bay for Sunday’s game

Lawrence was questionable and perhaps considered 50/50 to play on Friday but he has clearly made considerable progress as the Jaguars will have their guy available in a key game Sunday against the Buccaneers. The Jaguars enter Week 16 in a three-way tie for the AFC South lead at 8-6 and could use all the help they can get. Had Lawrence not been able to play, it would have been C.J. Beathard getting the start. Lawrence checks in as our No. 7 quarterback this week.

Jaguars coach Doug Pederson says QB Trevor Lawrence will practice today. He's still in the NFL's concussion protocol, and must clear to travel to Tampa tomorrow.

Lawrence is trending in the right direction, and would be a much better signal-caller for the Jaguars skill positions in fantasy. If he were to play, he'd have a great matchup against the Buccaneers secondary and would be a fringe QB1 for Week 16.

No Trevor Lawrence (concussion protocol) or Zay Jones (hamstring) at Thursday’s Jaguars practice. Second consecutive day both players have missed.

All other players were present. Another day of starting reps for QB CJ Beathard.

Related Players: Calvin Ridley, Parker Washington, Jamal Agnew

Looks like it could be a Beathard week, who actually gets a great matchup against the Buccaneers this week, though it wouldn't look as decent if Zay Jones ends up missing. Calvin Ridley would get enough of a target boost to consider him a WR2, while Washington would be a FLEX option.

The Chargers signed QB Will Grier off the Patriots' practice squad, per source.

The first significant move by interim GM JoJo Wooden.

Grier will likely backup Stick, who is coming off a 63-21 thumping where threw three TDs and one INT for collecting 257 yards through the air. On the Patriots side, it looks like their QB carousel is getting smaller as they lose another quarterback after Malik Cunningham signed with the Ravens last week.
