Dynasty Injury Report: Week 15

Fantasy football playoffs are upon us, when every pass, catch, and run is hyper analyzed to determine how it affects your team’s score. Every interception, fumble, and tackle could mean the difference between champion and chump. Injuries also can lead to your playoff matchup ending before it ever truly started, keeping you from glory yet again.

My name is Kyle Trimble, I am a Doctor of Physical Therapy, the other half of the injury analyst team here at Dynasty League Football. We are here each and every week to break down the latest injuries and provide perspective on how to navigate the pitfalls that are injuries.

I would also encourage you to tune in to the DLF YouTube channel (make sure to subscribe!) to tune in to helpful content throughout the week.

Let’s look at the various injuries heading into week 16 and any concerns moving forward for your fantasy championships.

Trevor Lawrence, QB JAC

Injury: Concussion

Return to Play: Week 16-17

Following the Jacksonville Jaguars' loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday night, Lawrence was placed in the NFL concussion protocol. This came after delayed symptoms from a hit in the fourth quarter during their final possession. Lawrence must now pass through the five-stage concussion protocol in order to play in week 16 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Looking at his injury history, this is the first concussion he has suffered since 2018 when he was at Clemson when they played Syracuse. He exited that game early but was able to return the next week. Watch how Lawrence progresses through the protocol this week, watching for when he begins throwing and increasing his participation levels. Look for him to get a limited practice by Thursday, otherwise grab any remaining quarterbacks on the waiver wire including Jags backup CJ Beathard.
