INJURIES
Marvin Jones Jr. - Just 15 yards in win Jones caught three of four targets for 15 yards during Thursday's 19-3 win over the Jets.
Impact Evan Engram had seven receptions for 113 yards during Thursday's contest and was the only Jacksonville pass catcher with at least 30 yards. Jones is averaging 1.8 receptions and 21.0 yards across the past six games and has minimal fantasy relevance, especially with Engram now enjoying a consistent role in the passing game.

Folorunso Fatukasi - Likely returning New Year's Day Head coach Doug Pederson said Friday that Fatukasi (ankle) has "a good chance" to play Week 17 against the Texans, John Shipley of SI.com reports.
Impact After missing Thursday's matchup versus the Jets with an ankle injury, Fatukasi is now in line to suit up and reclaim his starting defensive end spot when Houston hosts the Jaguars in Week 17.

Travon Walker - Anticipates suiting up in Week 17 Head coach Doug Pederson said Friday that he thinks Walker (ankle) has a "good chance" to play in Week 17 against the Texans, John Shipley of SI.com reports.
Impact Walker has missed both of Jacksonville's previous two contests as a result of the ankle injury he sustained Week 14 versus Tennessee, though Pederson's expressed optimism puts this year's No. 1 overall draft pick in line to suit up New Year's Day in Houston.
DECEMBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Dawuane Smoot - Torn Achilles feared Smoot is feared to have suffered a torn Achilles in Thursday's win over the Jets, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Smoot is slated to undergo an MRI on Friday after he departed Thursday's matchup against the Jets with an apparent non-contact lower-body injury. The 27-year-old was in the midst of yet another productive season for Jacksonville, but depending on the test results, there's a decent chance that Smoot played his last game of the 2022-23 campaign in Week 16. If a torn Achilles is indeed confirmed, Arden Key and Corey Peters could receive more reps on the Jaguars' defensive line behind starters Roy Robertson-Harris, Folorunso Fatukasi (ankle) and DaVon Hamilton.

Jaguars beat Jets with complete game, look like AFC South’s best team
Zay Jones - Major downturn in Week 16 win Jones secured one of four targets for 14 yards and rushed once for minus-3 yards in the Jaguars' 19-3 win over the Jets on Thursday night.
Impact Jones' numbers were a major disappointment for fantasy managers counting on him to put together a successful encore to his three-touchdown breakout just four days prior against the Cowboys. However, Trevor Lawrence focused heaviest on tight end Evan Engram in what is typically a thorny matchup for wideouts, and he distributed his passes to eight players overall. Jones' catch total was a season low, so he'll have plenty of room for improvement in a Week 17 road matchup against the Texans a week from Sunday.
DECEMBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Christian Kirk - Three catches in Week 16 win Kirk secured three of six targets for 22 yards in the Jaguars' 19-3 win over the Jets on Thursday night. He also rushed once for four yards.
Impact Kirk tied with Travis Etienne and Marvin Jones for second on the team in catches and was also the runner-up in targets. The talented offseason addition typically plays a much larger role, but Trevor Lawrence distributed the ball to more pass catchers than usual Thursday. Kirk's yardage total was his lowest since Week 5, a matter he'll look to rectify in a Week 17 road matchup against the Texans a week from Sunday.

Evan Engram - Late-season surge continues in win Engram secured seven of eight targets for 113 yards in the Jaguars' 19-3 win over the Jets on Thursday night.
Impact Engram comfortably paced the Jaguars in receptions, receiving yards and targets, continuing what has been a remarkable late-season breakout. The veteran tight end now has two 100-yard efforts in the last three games, putting together an elite 26-337-2 line on 33 targets over that span. Given his emergence and the Jaguars' ongoing postseason push, Engram figures to once again play a critical role in a Week 17 road matchup against the Texans a week from Sunday.
DECEMBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Travis Etienne Jr. - Heavy workload in Week 16 win Etienne rushed 22 times for 83 yards and brought in all three targets for 29 yards in the Jaguars' 19-3 win over the Jets on Thursday night.
Impact Etienne was given a robust workload with head coach Doug Pederson picking his spots against the Jets' talented pass defense. The second-year back responded in fine form, gaining consistent yardage on the ground and contributing through the air by equaling a season high in receptions. Etienne's carry total was his third highest of the season and most voluminous since Week 9, and he'll now have extra time to gear up for a critical Week 17 road divisional clash with the Texans' porous run defense a week from Sunday.
DECEMBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Dawuane Smoot - Suffers apparent leg injury Smoot was carted off the field with an apparent leg injury late in the fourth quarter of Thursday's 19-3 win over the Jets, Mia O'Brien of 1010 XL 92.5 FM Jacksonville reports.
Impact Smoot suffered a non-contact injury in the final moments of Thursday's win, so there was no official diagnosis from the team. Coach Doug Pederson did not provide any additional details in his postgame comments, though there should be clarity on Smoot's status in the coming days. He managed one tackle prior to his exit.

NFL Week 16 highlights: Jags drop Jets on TNF; Zach Wilson benched
Trevor Lawrence - Efficient in road win Lawrence completed 20 of 31 passes for 229 yards and rushed seven times for 51 yards and a touchdown in the Jaguars' 19-3 win over the Jets on Thursday night. He also lost a fumble...
Impact While the numbers were much less gaudy than during the Jaguars' rousing second-half comeback overtime win against the Cowboys four days earlier, Lawrence was more than effective enough to help lead his squad to a big late-season win in a hostile environment against a high-caliber defense. The 2021 first overall pick focused most on tight end Evan Engram, who he peppered with eight targets. Lawrence completed passes to seven other players as well, and he recorded his third rushing touchdown of the season on a one-yard run with 11:26 remaining in the first half. The second-year pro got his one major mistake out of the way early, fumbling on a sack at his own 19-yard-line on the first possession of the game. With the Jags remaining in the thick of the AFC wild-card picture, Lawrence will now set his sights on a Week 17 divisional road battle versus the Texans a week from Sunday.

Trevor Lawrence - Active versus Jets Lawrence (toe) is listed as active for Thursday night's game against the Jets.
Impact Lawrence, who has been working through a toe injury that he sustained in Week 13, had been listed as questionable for the contest, but he'll be out there Thursday, as expected, and will look to build off a fantasy-friendly Week 15 effort in which he completed 27 of 42 passes for 318 yards, four TDs and a pick in this past Sunday's 40-34 win over the Cowboys.

Trevor Lawrence - Cleared to play Thursday Lawrence remains listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Jets, but he's been cleared to play through a sprained toe on his left foot, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com repor...
Impact Lawrence first picked up the injury in the Jaguars' Week 13 loss to the Lions, but he was able to return to that contest and has proceeded to play at a high level over the past two weeks while leading Jacksonville to wins over the Titans and Cowboys. Even though Lawrence carried a designation into the Thursday's contest, the Jaguars never had much concern about his availability after he practiced in a limited fashion Tuesday and Wednesday. He'll officially shed his injury designation when Jacksonville releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to the game's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.
