NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said Trevor Lawrence is confident he will play in Week 7 against the Saints. According to Rapoport, the knee sprain Lawerence is dealing with is “pretty slight.” Backup C.J. Beathard reportedly took most of the snaps with the first team during team walkthroughs, but Lawrence said on Wednesday that he expects to play. Fantasy managers will want to check-in on the Jaguars’ inactives 90 minutes before kickoff, but it sounds like Lawrence will be ready to go on Thursday night.

Derek Carr (shoulder/chest) was upgraded to a full participant in Tuesday’s practice. Carr was listed as a limited participant on the team’s estimated practice report for Monday, but was a full participant when they took the field on Tuesday. Carr suffered his injury in Week 4 but hasn’t missed a game because of it. He showed improved arm strength in last week’s contest against the Texans and should be playing like his normal self in Week 7 — for better or worse.

Jaguars vs. Saints Prediction:
Take Jacksonville. The Saints are a below average team. They added Carr this offseason and plenty of national pundits believed that he would magically turn them into a Super Bowl contender. The reality is that he’s the same QB that he was with the Raiders: a check-down artist that racks up a ton of stats but often leaves his team short on wins. The Saints defense should play well tonight, but Jacksonville is the better overall team. I’ll gladly take them on the moneyline tonight in New Orleans.
