📰 Week 16 news you can use

😮 Trevor Lawrence has cleared concussion protocol and is traveling with the team to Tampa Bay. Lawrence traveling is a huge development for the Jaguars’ offense. Tampa Bay has not defended opposing quarterbacks well lately, either. Skill players like Travis Etienne, Calvin Ridley and Zay Jones (questionable) are much safer plays with Lawrence under center. The biggest boost may be with tight end Evan Engram though. Tampa is allowing 12.7-FPPG to opposing tight ends over their last five games.

👍 Nico Collins has been listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Browns. was limited in practice all week, putting him on track to make his return. With C.J. Stroud (concussion) ruled out again, Collins is a risky mid-to-low-end WR2 for fantasy managers this week.

🤞 Kenneth Walker III is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Titans. Pete Carroll said he expects Walker to play on Sunday. It is still worth monitoring, nonetheless.

🙅‍♂️ Rhamondre Stevenson has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Broncos. Ezekiel Elliott should remain the workhorse in the Patriots backfield.

👍 Zay Flowers was a full participant at practice on Friday. It is an upgrade for Flowers after he was limited in practice on Thursday. He will be in the mid-to-low-end WR2 conversation this week on Monday against the 49ers.
