Sauce Gardner

NYJ Cornerback #1

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports Sauce Gardner’s (hamstring) status is “up in the air this week.”

According to Fowler, the Jets should know more about the severity of Gardner’s injury later in the week and will wait to see how he responds to treatment. The third-year corner has missed just one game in his career and has earned a PFF coverage grade of 74.4 while playing on 407 coverage snaps. Gardner had one of his best games of the season in the Jets’ Week 13 loss to the Colts. His absence in Week 14 would be good for Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphins’ passing game.
Trevor Lawrence

JAX Quarterback #16

Jaguars coach Doug Pederson said Trevor Lawrence remains in the NFL’s concussion protocol.

He also responded to a question about shutting Lawrence down for the season by saying no decisions have been made yet, and that he “wants to send positive message to team that we’re still fighting.” Mac Jones would receive yet another start if Lawrence fails to clear protocol by Sunday. It seems like the Jaguars are at least giving some thought to shutting Lawrence down, which would make sense as they’re all but mathematically eliminated from the playoffs.
Baker Mayfield

TB Quarterback #6

Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles said Baker Mayfield as a sore leg, but that he thinks he will be good to go for Week 14 against the Raiders.

We don’t quite know when Mayfield suffered his injury, as the veteran quarterback was cleated by a defender on one play and had his ankle twisted on another in Sunday’s win over the Buccaneers’ win over the Panthers. Regardless, Mayfield was able to finish the game and appears to be on early track to play in Week 14 against the Raiders. Bowles said he’s unsure how much Mayfield will practice this week, so it’s possible the team gives him some added rest in what will be a pivotal Week 14 matchup for the 6-6 Buccaneers.
Taysom Hill

NO Tight End #7

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports tests confirmed that Saints TE Taysom Hill will miss the remainder of the season with a knee injury.

It’s a torn ACL for Hill, who had to be carted off the field in Sunday’s loss to the Rams. The Saints will be without their do-it-all player for their final five games of the season. Hill didn’t do much as a pass this season, throwing for just 21 yards and one interception, but does finish the year with a rushing line of 39-279-6, and a receiving line of 23-187-0. Set to turn 35 before the start of next season, Hill is under contract for one more year and will likely have his deal restructured before the start of next season when the Saints do their annual salary cap gymnastics.
Josh Downs

IND Wide Receiver #1

Colts coach Shane Steichen is unsure if Josh Downs (shoulder) will return after the team’s Week 14 bye.

Steichen said center Ryan Kelly has a “good chance” to return after the team’s bye week but was non-committal on Downs’ return. The second-year receiver missed Sunday’s game against the Patriots due to a shoulder injury he suffered in Week 12, but may need more time to recover before returning to the field. The Colts’ passing game was slowed by the absence of Downs, as their wide receivers combined to catch just seven passes for 58 yards and a touchdown on 15 targets. Alec Pierce wound up leading the team in snaps from the slot, with eight, but that’s not where he’s been best utilized over his career. Downs’ return in Week 15 would be a welcomed one as the Colts make a postseason push. We’ll see how things look at the start of next week.
Bucky Irving

TB Running Back #7

Bucky Irving said he’s feeling better a day after injuring his hip in Week 13’s win over the Panhters.

Irving injured his hip during a kickoff return and, according to Buccaneers beat writer Rick Stroud, “labored to walk to the locker room after the game.” Irving managed to finish out the game, rushing 25 times for 152 yards — both season highs — while also finding the end zone for the third consecutive game. This may be something that lands Irving on the team’s injury report this week, but it doesn’t sound like he’s at risk of missing Week 14’s game against the Raiders.
Azeez Al-Shaair

HOU Linebacker #0

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports “it is now anticipated that Texans LB Azeez Al-Shaair will be suspended” for the hit he put on Trevor Lawrence in Week 13’s win over the Jaguars.

Schefter added that “the only question is for how long” Al-Shaair could be suspended. The Texans linebacker delivered a brutal shot to the head of a sliding Lawrence on Sunday that immediately placed the quarterback in the league’s concussion protocol. It wasn’t the first time a hit by Al-Shaair was drawn into question, as so many pointed out via social media. Al-Shaair posted an apology to Lawrence on Monday, we’ll see if that bears any weight on whatever punishment the league decides to hand down in the coming days.
Aaron Rodgers

NYJ Quarterback #8

Jets interim coach Jeff Ulbrich said Aaron Rodgers will remain the team’s starting quarterback.

Ulbrich was asked if Rodgers’ status as the Jets’ QB1 was on a week-to-week basis, to which he said, “No, he’s our quarterback.” We shouldn’t expect Ulbrich to say anything different. This is, after all, Aaron Rodgers, who we are talking about here. Regardless of what Ulbrich says, there’s little reason to believe Rodgers is locked in as the Jets’ starter for the team’s final five games of the season. The Jets are 3-9, and a significant portion of the blame has justifiably fallen on the veteran quarterback’s performance. Barring an unexpected change, Rodgers will get the start in Week 14 against the Dolphins, but this is situation is probably more week-to-week than Ulbrich will ever admit.
Amari Cooper

BUF Wide Receiver #18

Amari Cooper caught all three targets for 12 yards in the Bills’ Week 13 win over the 49ers.

The low target and yardage totals were overshadowed by a highlight play in the third quarter, where Cooper made a stunning catch before lateraling the football to quarterback Josh Allen for the touchdown. The play will go down in history as a contributor to the only time a quarterback has thrown a touchdown, caught a touchdown, and rushed for a touchdown in the same game. Cooper continues to work his way into the offense after being acquired near the trade deadline, with his next opportunity to return meaningful counting stats coming against the Rams in Week 14.
Khalil Shakir

BUF Wide Receiver #10

Khalil Shakir caught 4-of-7 targets for 30 yards in the Bills’ Week 13 win over the 49ers.

While the 41.2% target market share from Josh Allen feels impressive, Shakir managed just 30 yards through the air on a night both teams were forced to fight through lake effect snow in Buffalo. Shakir continues to be the most reliable pass-catcher for Allen but is never going to play more than a standard slot snap rate considering his diminutive size. Up next for Shakir and the Bills are the Rams in Week 14.
