Thanks a lot, Azeez Al-Shaair. The Texans linebacker road graded Lawrence’s head on an obvious ill-fated slide and sparked a brawl that resulted in his ejection from the game. It’s an unfortunate break for fantasy managers who re-inserted Lawrence into their lineups, as he closed the day with just 41 yards passing and an interception in what amounted to an unceremonious and brief return to action. The silver lining: Mac Jones stepped in and looked as capable as he has all season in relief of Lawrence, propelling both Parker Washington and Brian Thomas Jr. to strong fantasy outings and keeping TE Evan Engram afloat, as well. Given that the injury is a concussion, there’s a chance that Lawrence could be back in relatively short order if he’s able to progress comfortably through the league’s protocol over the next week or two. However, with tough matchups against Tennessee (twice) and New York over the next four weeks, it could be back to tough sledding for the Jaguars' passing attack heading into and throughout the fantasy playoffs. Regardless, BTJ will continue to be startable as a fringe fantasy WR2, while Parker Washington will be worth a look as an intriguing waiver-wire addition as the fantasy season reaches its twilight.
