Week 7 has arrived! Unfortunately, the injury watch for fantasy managers is also here. Players who appear on the Friday injury report and haven’t practiced much during the week can often lead to trepidation for managers trying to make lineup decisions and/or waiver claims. Don’t fret, though – FantasyPros is here to provide you with all of the latest news and updates on the players who are questionable heading into the weekend.
Trevor Lawrence suffered a slight knee sprain at the very end of Jacksonville’s Week 6 game against Indianapolis, but it has limited him in practice this week. He carries a questionable designation heading into the Jaguars’ Thursday Night Football showdown against the Saints. So will Trevor Lawrence play in Week 7? Here’s the latest.

Trevor Lawrence officially questionable for TNF
The Jacksonville Jaguars have officially listed QB Trevor Lawrence (knee) as questionable for Week 7 Thursday Night Football.
Fantasy Impact
Lawrence got injured at the very end of the Jaguars’ Week 6 victory and didn’t return, albeit missing the team’s QB kneels to ice the game. The Jaguars brought in Nathan Rourke as insurance in case Lawrence can’t play. Lawrence has made it sound like he wants to play, and a more official statement on his status should come out before kick-off, with C.J. Beathard as his direct backup. His practice status this week went DNP-limited-limited.
- Trevor Lawrence (knee) limited in practice Tuesday
- Trevor Lawrence (knee) estimated as non-participant Monday
- Trevor Lawrence (knee) currently day-to-day
What the Experts Are Saying
Lawrence (knee) was able to practice on a limited basis on Tuesday. His status feels like a coin flip this week that could be carried up to game time. Lawrence has played much better this season than his QB18 ranking in fantasy points per game would suggest. He ranks eighth in passing grade and big-time throw rate while also sitting at 12th in adjusted completion rate. Because of quarterback injuries and byes this week, if Lawrence plays, you are likely starting him, but I’m not telling you to feel great about it. New Orleans has held quarterbacks to the sixth-fewest fantasy points per game, the fifth-fewest yards per attempt, and the second-lowest passer rating. If C.J. Beathard draws the start, I would not be plugging him into my lineup considering this matchup. Week 7 Positional Value: Borderline QB1
