The Jacksonville Jaguars have been plagued by injuries on offense all season, and they haven’t let up in Week 11.

Quarterback Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) has already been ruled out and running back Tank Bigsby (ankle) is questionable. Wide receivers Brian Thomas Jr. (chest) and Gabe Davis (shoulder) are also questionable but practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday.

The Lions are not without their own injuries this week. Tight end Sam LaPorta is considered day-to-day with a shoulder injury suffered last week, and it wouldn’t be a shocker to see him held out of a game Detroit should win easily.

Jahmyr Gibbs, RB, Detroit Lions (DraftKing’s DFS Value: $7,300): The Lions are seventh in the NFL in rushing with 147.3 yards per carry. match. The Jaguars rank 21st in the league in run defense and give up nearly 130 yards per game on the ground. Both Gibbs and David Montgomery should eat in Week 11.

Brian Thomas Jr., WR, Jacksonville Jaguars (DraftKing’s DFS value: $6,100): Thomas has shown considerable promise as a rookie, and the Lions are one of the league’s best wide receiver matchups. But Thomas will almost certainly be in coverage, and Mac Jones was atrocious at quarterback for the Jaguars last week.

Detroit Lions Defense (DraftKing’s DFS Value: $3,800): The Lions have some issues defensively this season, especially up front after edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson went down. But the Jaguars offense imploded without Lawrence last week, and this is a game that will likely get 16 plays out of hand.

143. That’s how many yards of offense the Jaguars had last week against the Minnesota Vikings. It marked the fifth-lowest yardage total in franchise history and the fewest in a game since Doug Pederson became head coach. With Jones under center, all of Jacksonville’s offensive players are risky fantasy bets.
