Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (shoulder, finger) is officially active for the Week 18 regular season finale on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. Lawrence was held out of the Week 17 win over the Carolina Panthers but is returning to play this weekend in a must-win game. The 24-year-old will be playing through an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder and will almost certainly not be 100 percent, so he'll be extra risky in DFS and in season-long leagues for anyone still playing for a championship. The good news is Lawrence isn't at risk of reinjuring his right shoulder on Sunday, so if the Jaguars win the AFC South with a victory, he should be all systems go next weekend for the wild-card round of the postseason. Lawrence won't be getting receiver Christian Kirk (groin) back from Injured Reserve.
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk (groin) continues to yield skepticism about his availability for Week 18 versus the Tennessee Titans, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. While the Jaguars showed confidence in Kirk by activating him from injured reserve on Saturday, Rapoport notes that his status is far from certain. If active, he would rank as a low-end WR2 in fantasy football, especially if Trevor Lawrence (right shoulder) suits up. Otherwise, Zay Jones would step up as the Jaguars' No. 2 receiver, putting him in the low-end WR3 tier for fantasy football. The Jaguars will confirm their list of inactives 90 minutes before kickoff.
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (shoulder, finger) is officially listed as questionable for the Week 18 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. It looks like the star quarterback will be a game-time decision, but is pushing to play. This is a must-win game for the Jags and it doesn't sound like Lawrence is at risk of reinjuring himself. This will likely come down to how Lawrence feels closer to kickoff. His absence would mean that C.J. Beathard would be under center once again. If Beathard starts then the entire Jags offense will take a hit in value. Fantasy managers will have to check back for official word closer to game time.
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk (groin) has been activated from the injured reserve on Saturday. His 21-day practice window opened this week and the team wasted little time getting Kirk back on the field. Having Kirk back on the field is a significant boost for this offense that needs to win this Week 18 matchup. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence (finger, shoulder) is still questionable for this contest. His absence would be a significant downgrade for this offense. Kirk has been a viable option for this team, but should be considered a risky WR3 for this game.
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram heads to Nashville to face the Titans in a "win and in" playoff scenario this Sunday. The veteran tight end continued his career year last week, adding a team high-six catches and 60 yards to his already stellar numbers. Engram is now just six receptions away from being the fourth tight end in league history to record 110 or more catches. While he has still only recorded three scores on the season, Engram is first in targets and second in yards after the catch among tight ends. Even if C.J. Beathard draws the start for a second consecutive week, Engram is a no-brainer play against a reeling Titans defense. While Tennessee has been able to limit opposing tight ends, Engram's target volume is simply too high to leave on fantasy benches.
