Fantasy Impact: McConkey was questionable heading into the weekend as he dealt with a shoulder injury, but he will get the start on Monday night. Expect the second-round pick to be in line for a big night against a Ravens defense that has allowed the most total passing yards per game in 2024.

Fantasy Impact: Lawrence is dealing with an AC joint injury that held him out of Weeks 10 and 11 before the team's Week 12 bye. With the extra week off, Lawrence seems to be in a better spot than he was heading into Week 11 (three DNPs), but his status will have to be monitored. The Jaguars play on Sunday in a weirdly scheduled week (games on Thursday and Friday), and if he can't go, it will be Mac Jones under center again.
Carolina Panthers rookie TE Ja'Tavion Sanders (neck) reportedly avoided a "serious "injury, though the team is continuing to evaluate his injury status. He had returned to the team's building as well. (Source: Mike Kaye on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Sanders left the team's Week 12 game with a scary injury and was reportedly transported to the hospital. Thankfully, he avoided a "serious" injury, fortunate news for the Panthers who had seen their rookie TE develop in recent weeks. Sanders has 29 catches for 302 yards this year, including four games with at least 49 yards. Hopefully, Sanders will be able to return soon with no issues.
Josh Downs is considered "week-to-week" with a shoulder injury and is a long shot to play against the Patriots on Sunday. However, it does appear he avoided a major injury.
Fantasy Impact: Downs caught three passes for 27 yards in the Colts' loss to Detroit, but had several catches nullified by penalties, which would have greatly altered the feelings of fantasy managers had they stood. Expect a little more work from Adonai Mitchell should Downs miss, with Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce the favorites to run out on two wide sets.
