Trevor Lawrence Fantasy

Jacksonville Jaguars second-year quarterback Trevor Lawrence has shown improvement at organized team activities compared to where he was at last year heading into his rookie season. Lawrence showed his elite arm strength in his rookie season, but he now looks more decisive and sure of himself when it comes to delivering the ball, especially in tight windows. The first overall pick struggled in Year 1, throwing more interceptions (17) than touchdowns (12) while throwing for 3,641 yards in 17 games. The Jags spent big in free agency on receiver Christian Kirk and Zay Jones to give Lawrence more help through the air, and the healthy return of running back Travis Etienne should help as well. Lawrence still has plenty of long-term upside, but he'll be no more than a QB2 with upside in redraft leagues.

Jacksonville Jaguars second-year quarterback Trevor Lawrence has been happy with new wide receiver Christian Kirk so far this offseason. "He's great. Just from a football IQ sense, I think he's really quarterback friendly," Lawrence said. The Jaguars signed Kirk to a four-year, $72 million deal with $37 million guaranteed in March, and he'll be asked to lead a receiver room that had just one wideout with more than 620 receiving yards in 2021. Jacksonville's receivers caught just nine touchdowns last year, with almost half coming from Marvin Jones Jr. Lawrence struggled to make big plays consistently last year, but the addition of Kirk should help in that regard. Kirk had a career year with the Arizona Cardinals, catching 77 passes for 982 yards and five TDs, but his overall success will depend on how much Lawrence improves in Year 2.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence's progress during his second professional season is undoubtedly the team's quickest path to contention in 2022. Already equipped with new head coach Doug Peterson, Lawrence will have even more experienced voices overseeing his development: Press Taylor (offensive coordinator), Mike McCoy (quarterbacks coach), and Bob Cooter (passing game coordinator). "He's eager to learn," Pederson said of Lawrence, via Michael DiRocco of ESPN. "He wants to grow. I've got great teachers in the room that can help him and help him be successful." Lawrence started all 17 games during his rookie year, but he finished tied for the league lead with 17 interceptions. His 602 pass attempts were seventh most, even though he completed those throws at just a 59.6% clip. He is likely solely a two-QB season-long league option at this stage, although Jacksonville's ability to surround him with playmakers could change that dynamic.
