Jacksonville Jaguars

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.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. heads into a crucial Week 18 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. Without his QB1 last week, Etienne was fed early and often against one of the NFL's worst run defenses. The former first-round pick was actually having a modest game until he broke free down the right sideline that resulted in a 62-yard touchdown. He then capped the day with a one-yard score late in the fourth to give the Jaguars a dominant 26-0 victory. Etienne should be fired up once again at Tennessee who ranks middle-of-the-pack against opposing backs. In what is a "win and in" playoff scenario for the Jaguars, there's no doubt that Etienne will once again be a heavily featured weapon in this offensive attack, especially if QB Trevor Lawrence is ruled out.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are planning to activate standout wide receiver Christian Kirk (groin) prior to Sunday's showdown with the Tennessee Titans, according to sources. Kirk had core-muscle surgery but is apparently ready to return for a must-win game in Week 18 after missing the required four games while on Injured Reserve. He was limited in practice this week and is listed as questionable for Sunday's tilt against Tennessee. Kirk is expected to be a game-time decision. Getting him back against the Titans would be a huge boost to a Jaguars offense that has stumbled down the stretch, but it may not matter much if quarterback Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) misses his second straight game. The 27-year-old had 57 catches for 787 yards and three touchdowns in 12 games before his injury. Kirk will be enticing for those playing DFS this weekend, but he'll also be volatile as a boom/bust option if he's active in what will be his first game action since Week 13.

The final stop of Buffalo Bills wide receiver Gabe Davis' rollercoaster ride of a 2023 season comes at Hard Rock Stadium for Week 18's clash with the Miami Dolphins. To summarize Davis' campaign as succinctly as possible, he has ridden a four-game touchdown streak at one point, posted three 100-yard showings, and logged four zeroes in the box score. It's certainly been a bumpy journey, and as far Sunday's date for the AFC East championship goes, nothing has particularly changed in relation to Davis' fantasy expectations; the 24-year-old deep threat is a DFS tournament preference for his boom-or-bust tendencies. PlayerProfiler charted Xavien Howard (foot) as Davis' primary corner when these two teams met in Week 4, but the star defensive back won't play on Sunday. Most of superstar Jalen Ramsey's attention could be directed toward Stefon Diggs, potentially giving Davis' big-play ability a boost.
