Fantasy Football Draft Outlook: Insider Tips
Trevor Lawrence (JAC)
I love Lawrence this season in fantasy football. All we need is health and regression to the mean, and Lawrence should hit the ground running. Last year, Lawrence battled a sprained medial collateral ligament, a sprained ankle, a concussion, and a contused right shoulder. It’s fair to ask if we’ve seen a healthy version of Lawrence after Week 6. Despite all that, Lawrence was the QB13 in fantasy points per game (QB7 in expected fantasy points per game) while finishing 14th in CPOE and seventh in high-accuracy throwing rate (per Fantasy Points Data). This offseason, Jacksonville restocked Lawrence’s closet of weapons despite losing Calvin Ridley to free agency. The Jags signed Gabriel Davis and drafted Brian Thomas Jr. to stretch the field and clear the middle of the field for Christian Kirk and Evan Engram. With these additions, we could see this offense pass aggressively. In Weeks 11-18, Jacksonville ranked seventh in neutral pass rate and 10th in red zone offense. For Lawrence, the needle is pointing up for 2024.
