Good news? Absolutely. But is Trevor Lawrence playing this week an outcome you should be banking on with potentially your fantasy season on the line? Probably not. High ankle sprains tend to be finicky, but they overwhelmingly result in players missing at least one game - and Lawrence has a short turnaround this week going from a Monday night game to a Sunday afternoon kickoff against a tough Cleveland defense in Week 14. Lawrence thankfully appears to have avoided a long-term injury at this point and it’s possible that he’s back and at 100% for Jacksonville’s playoff run in January, but that might not be the case for your fantasy football playoff run. Fantasy managers should absolutely find a potential replacement for Lawrence for the near future (*cough cough* Jake Browning *cough*) while also paying close attention to Lawrence’s status throughout the week. If C.J. Beathard has to draw the start on Sunday, the entire Jaguars offense would be downgraded significantly.
