Week 14 Outlook
31°Availability
Shaq Lawson signed with the Bills practice squad Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
Lawson has rejoined the Bills. The veteran has spent six of his nine NFL seasons in Buffalo, most recently in 2023. That year, Lawson played 16 games, recording 14 tackles, three for loss, with one sack.
The Panthers signed EDGE Shaq Lawson.
Fantasy Impact
Lawson was hosted for a visit on Tuesday before signing with Carolina. He'll add a veteran presence to a banged up defensive line for the Panthers.
DL Shaq Lawson will be inactive for the Thursday Night Football game between the Los Angeles Rams and the Buffalo Bills.
Fantasy Impact
Lawson is beginning his second stint with the Bills, but the pass rush in Buffalo has improved over the offseason. Lawson is taking a backseat among a young pass rush including Ed Oliver and Greg Rousseau. Von Miller should see extra playing time as well. Los Angeles' pass protection is vulnerable due to injury and the retirement of T Andrew Whitworth, so QB Matthew Stafford could be under pressure often.
Shaq Lawson has agreed to return to Buffalo on a one-year deal.
Fantasy Impact
The former first-round pick by the Bills returns after two years elsewhere. The six-year veteran has tallied six forced fumbles, one interception, and 13 pass deflections in his career. He joins a Buffalo defense that was first in the league last year and should be the first or second off the board in fantasy drafts this year.
The Jets acquired LB Shaq Lawson from the Texans in exchange for a 2022 sixth-round pick.
Fantasy Impact
Houston acquired Lawson earlier this offseason but he eventually became a situational player for them. The Jets lost Carl Lawson earlier this month, which is likely what prompted this trade.
