Trevor Lawrence throws one TD, placed in concussion protocol in Week 15
Trevor Lawrence completed 25 of his 43 passes for 264 yards and one touchdown while adding 41 yards on four carries in a 23-7 loss to the Ravens in Week 15.

Fantasy Impact

Lawrence lost two fumbles on a rough night for the Jacksonville offense. His lone touchdown pass went to Jamal Agnew on a 65-yard pass in the third quarter. Lawrence took a big hit near the end of the game and was placed in the league’s concussion protocol following the final whistle, according to head coach Doug Pederson. Lawrence will now have to pass through the league’s concussion protocol to be able to play in Week 16 against the Buccaneers. If Lawrence can’t suit up, backup C.J. Beathard would get the start.

Keaton Mitchell suffers season-ending knee injury
Baltimore Ravens RB Keaton Mitchell suffered a significant, season-ending knee injury, according to head coach John Harbaugh.

Fantasy Impact

Mitchell ended his rookie campaign in an unfortunate manner, and the hope is that he will recover and find success again next year. After missing the first half of his season due to injury, Mitchell appeared in seven games, carrying the ball 47 times for 396 yards and two TDs. He also caught nine passes for 93 yards. His elite efficiency brings hope that he can be even stronger in his sophomore campaign, but the exact nature of his injury is not yet clear. Justice Hill and Gus Edwards will share the backfield the rest of the way for Baltimore.

Bengals WR Ja’Marr Chase (shoulder) is considered day-to-day, per head coach Zac Taylor.

Fantasy Impact

Chase is dealing with a shoulder injury he suffered in the Bengals’ win over the Vikings Saturday. Although his X-rays were negative, Chase’s practice participation will be worth monitoring by fantasy managers heading into Week 16.
