Trevor Lawrence Fantasy

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence projects as a low-end QB2 play in Week 2 at home against the Denver Broncos. Lawrence is best left on most benches in one quarterback formats after the rookie and the rest of his teammates struggled to get much going against a poor Texans defense in Week 1. Lawrence's talent and the pass-catching talent around him will keep him viable in many weeks, but after the solid Broncos defense kept the Giants in check last week without star edge rusher, Bradley Chubb, who returns this week, it's not an appealing matchup. This is very much a wait-and-see situation right now, and Lawrence should further progress as the year goes along.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie quarterback Trevor Lawrence went 28-for-51 with 332 yards, three touchdowns, and three interceptions in a 37-21 Week 1 loss to the Houston Texans. Lawrence and the entire team's performance against a very poor Texans team was largely disappointing. Lawrence put up some decent numbers, but most of his production came after the game was decided, and the three interceptions were a major issue. Lawrence did throw the ball 51 times, however, and he showed decent rapport with all three of his top receivers, with the highlight being a gorgeous 41-yard touchdown pass to D.J. Chark Jr. in the third quarter. Lawrence and the Jaguars need to be better starting next week against a tougher Denver Broncos defense. Lawrence should be viewed as a volatile QB2 in most fantasy formats.

Jacksonville Jaguars star rookie quarterback Trevor Lawrence lines up to face the Houston Texans in Week 1, and it's hard to imagine a better matchup, as the Texans have the NFL's lowest projected win total. The Texans allowed the fourth-most points to opposing signal-callers in 2020, and they project to regress even further as a defense in 2021. The team already lacked talent on the defensive side of the ball, but after trading Bradley Roby to the Saints on Wednesday, their lack of talent is staggering to think about. Lawrence should have plenty of time to throw and plenty of open receivers to find. Interestingly, the Jaguars are only three-point favorites in this one, but Lawrence still projects as a low-end QB1 in his NFL debut and a closer game could bode well for more passing attempts.
