Heading into last season, Trevor Lawrence was pegged as a breakout candidate. But from a fantasy perspective, his production remained stagnant and he was a fringe QB1. He did show a high-end ceiling for a stretch, stringing together four straight games with 20-plus fantasy points.
Several "excuses" can be made for Lawrence's pedestrian fantasy production. He suffered a concussion, a knee bruise, a shoulder sprain, and a high-ankle sprain. He was a regular on the injury report and dealt with nagging issues throughout the second half of the season. Lawrence also missed out on plenty of fantasy points thanks to dropped passes and near miss plays. He led all quarterbacks in EPA lost to dropped passes.
Lawrence has yet to have a season where things fully come together but he's consistently been around 4000 yards passing and rushed for 9 TDs the last two seasons. Even in an up and down season last year, he finished as the QB13. He is being drafted as the QB14 this season around his floor, but he does have room to grow making him a solid selection in the middle rounds of redraft leagues.

Christian Kirk dealing with mild calf injury Will be held out of preseason game Week 2 By: Mike Krueger | Thu Aug 15, 9:38 am
| | Jaguars WR Christian Kirk has a mild calf injury that has kept him out of joint practices vs. Bucs + Saturday’s preseason game, per HC Doug Pederson. He will be re-evaluated next week.
Pederson said QB Trevor Lawrence won't play Sat. Happy with joint practice reps this week. (Cameron Wolfe on X)
FFToday's Take: This will be something to monitor next week. If Kirk is able to back on the field, then there's no need panic about his fantasy value. More meaningful reps incoming for rookie Brian Thomas Jr., Gabe Davis and Parker Washington in the meantime.
