Jacksonville Jaguars DFS Spin
Trevor Lawrence (toe) is questionable for Week 16 against the Jets. Lawrence was limited in practice this week and should be fine for Thursday night against a Jets secondary allowing the league’s eighth lowest expected points added per drop back since Week 8. Lawrence has hit his stride last in the season, throwing for 11 touchdowns over the past four games while eclipsing 300 passing yards in three of those contests. He’s a top-12 option even in an unfavorable Week 16 matchup.
New York Jets DFS Spin
Zonovan Knight (ankle) is questionable for Week 16 against the Jaguars. Knight was not listed on the Jets’ injury report until Wednesday. He was listed as a full participant in practice, but the late addition to the report is a bit concerning. The Jets also held three walkthroughs this week, so their practice reports may be a bit misleading. Luckily for fantasy managers, New York faces the Jags on Thursday, meaning Knight’s status will be known before any fantasy alternatives lock. If he can’t go, Michael Carter and Ty Johnson would likely split the team’s backfield.
