Jaguars WR Gabriel Davis is believed to have suffered a torn meniscus in Sunday's loss to the Lions, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Davis is expected to undergo surgery, at which point doctors will determine whether the meniscus needs to be trimmed or fully repaired. The former would sideline Davis for multiple weeks; the latter would end his season. Either way, Davis is safe to drop from all redraft rosters. His absence certainly won't hurt WR Brian Thomas or TE Evan Engram's target potential the rest of the way. None of the other Jacksonville pass catchers are worth messing with in fantasy lineups.
Engram led the Jags with eight targets last week and tied Brian Thomas Jr. for a team-high in targets this time around. It was all for naught in both contests as he went for 40 scoreless yards in Week 10 and did even less this time around. Even though Mac Jones has leaned on Engram as an outlet option in two starts, the offense is in no state to support a TE1. Engram will reclaim his TE1 ranking if Trevor Lawrence is back after the Jags' Week 12 bye but will be stuck just outside the top 12 if he can't suit up.
Could return in Week 13 Jaguars HC Doug Pederson says QB Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) will be out this week. Optimistic that he can play after the bye week. (Michael DiRocco on Twitter) FF Today's Take: Lawrence missed Week 10 with his shoulder injury but it sounds like he will return in Week 13 to face the Texans. Mac Jones was awful in relief last week, throwing for a grand total of 111 yards against the Vikings. His prognosis this week against the Lions isn't much better, which will drag down the fantasy value of WR Brian Thomas Jr. and TE Evan Engram.
Engram was the only pass catcher fill-in QB Mac Jones could find with any regularity. Engram's six grabs were just two fewer than the rest of the team combined. That included two for Brian Thomas Jr. Bleak. Not that Engram's fantasy managers are complaining. Engram's entire deal is empty-calorie PPR compiling, and it should be able to continue even if Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) misses another game against the Lions next weekend. That being said, Engram will slot more into the TE9-12 range than 5-8 if it's another Jones start.
WR Parker Washington worked as Jacksonville's No. 2 wideout in Sunday's loss to the Eagles, nearly matching WR Brian Thomas Jr. in snaps (49-46) and pass routes (34-33). His 6 targets ranked second on the team, behind only TE Evan Engram.
