Jaguars should shut down QB Trevor Lawrence amid his concussion and shoulder injury
The Jacksonville Jaguars should shut down quarterback Trevor Lawrence for the rest of the season1 DAY AGO•ASSOCIATED PRESS
Devin Duvernay - Makes first impact as receiverDuvernay caught two of four targets for 23 yards, returned three kickoffs for 68 yards and one punt for five yards during Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Texans.
ImpactDuvernay entered the weekend having played a minimal offensive role this season, but he saw a season-high 39 offensive snaps and produced his first positive receiving yardage of the season. The 27-year-old operated as Jacksonville's No. 3 wide receiver ahead of Tim Jones and Elijah Cooks, though none of those three wideouts are likely to have fantasy viability, especially if Mac Jones finishes the campaign as the club's starting quarterback.

Tank Bigsby - Totals eight touchesBigsby carried seven times for 28 yards and caught his lone target for seven yards during Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Texas.
ImpactThe 23-year-old returned from a one-game absence due to an ankle issue and played 46 percent of the offensive snaps. Bigsby appeared on track to take over the starting job earlier this season after a five-game stretch in which he tallied 447 scrimmage yards and four touchdowns, but Etienne now has a bit more upside since he sees more passing-down work in this backfield committee.

Trevor Lawrence - Uncertain for rest of seasonSpeaking with the media Monday, coach Doug Pederson said no decision has been made yet if Lawrence (concussion) will play again this season, Kainani Stevens of the Jaguars' team w...
ImpactLawrence is in the concussion protocol after being carted off the field Sunday following a vicious forearm to the head from Azeez Al-Shaair. The hit got Al-Shaair ejected. The 2-10 Jaguars are in last place in the AFC South and are, of course, extreme long shots to make the postseason. Also dealing with a shoulder issue that could require offseason surgery, the team may not feel it's worth putting Lawrence back out on the field in 2024. Mac Jones replaced Lawrence versus Houston and completed 20 of 32 passes for 235 yards and two touchdowns in relief, almost leading a comeback after the Jaguars were down 23-6 in the fourth quarter.

Evan Engram - Team-high catch total in lossEngram secured seven of nine targets for 41 yards in the Jaguars' 23-20 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
ImpactEngram's catch total was a team-high figure, and the veteran tight end checked in third in targets behind wideouts Parker Washington (12) and Brian Thomas (10). Engram has at least five receptions in all but one of the seven games he's played since returning from a four-week stint on injured reserve due to a hamstring issue. Even if Mac Jones remains the starting quarterback the rest of the way in place of Trevor Lawrence (concussion), the veteran tight end's fantasy outlook should remain solid considering he's typically on the other end of high-percentage throws.

Parker Washington - Career-best showing SundayWashington brought in six of 12 targets for 103 yards and a touchdown and also caught a two-point conversion pass in the Jaguars' 23-20 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
ImpactWashington was the surprise leader in receptions, receiving yards and targets for the Jaguars with figures that all qualified as career highs. The 2023 sixth-round pick's breakout performance isn't necessarily an outlier -- although it may be an uphill battle to fully replicate if Mac Jones remains the starting quarterback in place of Trevor Lawrence (concussion) -- considering Washington is in line for an expanded role for the remainder of the season now that Gabe Davis (knee) has joined Christian Kirk (collarbone) on season-ending injured reserve. Washington next takes aim at the Titans in a Week 14 road clash.
