    Trevor Lawrence completed 18-of-23 passes for 245 yards and four touchdowns in the Jaguars’ 34-10, Week 1 win over the Browns.

    It was a monstrous offensive showing from the Jaguars, led by Lawrence and his four passing touchdowns. He opened scoring with a 30-yard touchdown throw to Parker Washington in the first quarter, tossing two more scores in the first half. Lawrence flexed his mobility with a lob on the run to Jakobi Meyers for a 32-yard touchdown in the third quarter. With a comfortable lead, Lawrence rested in the fourth quarter, finishing with a whopping 0.72 EPA per play. Nick Mullens tallied three kneel-downs in relief. Liam Coen’s offense will generate many fantasy opportunities across the board, especially when operating as efficiently as it did Week 1. Lawrence built upon his solid 2025 season with an all-star showing Week 1 against the Browns and should be a low-end fantasy QB1 for Week 2 against a tougher Broncos defense.

    Lawrence gave fantasy managers what they needed with a solid box score, but he was not the reason the Jags won this game. Lawrence struggled under pressure, throwing one ugly interception while putting the ball on the ground twice via sack-fumbles. Both were recovered by the Jags. The offense was also a catastrophe in the red zone, though a series of penalties and bizarre play calls are largely to blame there. Down by one with eight seconds left, it looked like the team’s struggles on offense would be too much to overcome. Instead, Ameer Abdullah returned a kickoff 53 yards to set up a walkoff field goal from Cam Little. If the Jags can clean things up after an uncharacteristically sloppy game, Lawrence will remain a mid-range QB1 for Week 6 versus the Texans.

    The Jaguars offensive operation was far from clean against the Bengals; the team as a whole tallied 10 penalties for 100 yards by halftime. Lawrence was sacked four times behind a struggling offensive line but still put together an efficient game. He found Brian Thomas Jr. for the game’s first touchdown as time wound down in the first half and found tight end Brenton Strange for seven of his 18 completions. Despite a relatively pedestrian showing, Lawrence comes away with zero turnovers and the win. He will be a top-12 fantasy option for Week 5 against the Eagles in London.

    Lawrence’s big statistical day could have been bigger if he hadn’t inexplicably taken a knee at the one yard line on a QB rush with about eight minutes left in the fourth quarter. Bhayshul Tuten would go on to score a rushing touchdown a few plays later. Lawrence picked apart of the New England secondary with very little pressure in his face, targeting former Patriots WR Jakobi Meyers heavily and connecting with three different pass catchers for touchdowns — including Parker Washington, who had another score called back. Lawrence, with one of the highest weekly floors in the game, will again be a top-12 QB option in Week 4 against Bengals in what should be a high-scoring game.
  • JAC Quarterback #16
    The Jaguars were relatively run-heavy against Denver a week after the Broncos were shredded by Ken Walker and the Chiefs. Lawrence mostly checked down in this one, targeting Parker Washington a team-high 12 times. Brian Thomas, Jr., meanwhile, had two untimely drops, one that appeared to frustrate Lawrence. Lawrence’s interception came on a poor throw to Washington near the sideline. He’ll look to bounce back next week against a stingy New England secondary.
  • JAC Quarterback #16
    According to ESPN’s Michael DiRocco, Lawrence’s offseason “was about gaining a graduate-level understanding” of coach Liam Coen’s offense. Last season, Lawrence was rehabbing an injury while attempting to change his footwork and adjust to a new play caller. He is now calmer and “can play more freely the way he did in the second half of last season.” Lawrence was the overall QB1 in total scoring from Weeks 9-18. If Lawrence and his pass catchers can carry the momentum into 2026, Lawrence can once again finish as an elite QB1, this time from Week 1 onward.
  • FA Quarterback #14
    Bad backup quarterback play was a staple of camp reports for the Jaguars, so they dealt for Quinn Ewers yesterday and will now eat $3 million in guaranteed money to cut Mullens. Mullens will look to catch on elsewhere as the roster dust settles.
  • JAC Quarterback #16
    The Jaguars didn’t play any starters in last week’s preseason game against the Saints, but Coen said that because they couldn’t do a padded practice on Monday with the Panthers, he may consider playing his starters a bit on Friday in order to get some “good (players) on good (players)” facing one another. If the Jaguars do play their starters this week, it will be their only taste of preseason action, as Coen has already said he won’t be playing them in the third preseason game.

    Specifically, Coen said Lawrence “did a really nice job taking care of the football,” perhaps throwing fewer than five interceptions across organized team activities and mandatory minicamp. Lawrence also performed well when “running the whole operation, managing the protections and some of the concepts on the field.” With a year of experience in Coen’s system now under his belt, Lawrence said he feels more confident going through his progressions and is doing “a lot less thinking” as plays are unfolding. Jaguars OC Grant Udinski has been impressed with Lawrence’s recall and his ability to guide teammates through concepts that the team hasn’t practiced in quite a while. Positive reports on the Jaguars’ offense continue to roll in. Lawrence warrants QB1 treatment in 2026.
  • JAC Wide Receiver #3
    The Jaguars acquired Meyers via trade in Week 10 last year. He then led the Jaguars in targets (63) and receptions (43) until their season came to a close with a Wild Card Round loss to the Bills. Fellow Jaguars WRs Parker Washington and Brian Thomas Jr. have generated buzz in recent weeks, but Meyers should not be overlooked. He still has a chance to repeat as the team’s target leader this season.
  • JAC Wide Receiver #7
    Lawrence found his groove after the team’s Week 8 bye, totaling 20 passing touchdowns, seven rushing touchdowns and seven interceptions. Coincidentally, Coen notes, their “average depth of target went up towards the second half of the season.” Coen wants to “keep pushing that envelope a little bit -– especially with [Lawrence] and BT.” Lawrence and Thomas have put a lot of work into trying to get their timing down this offseason, and Lawrence said, “it’s starting to pay off.” He feels like the two of them are “clicking more and more every day.” That’s great to hear. Thomas’ play dropped off significantly after an explosive rookie season, and trade rumors have swirled around him prior to the 2026 NFL Draft. If he can return to rookie season form, Thomas can smash his ADP this season.

    Reed Blankenship (concussion) was ruled out of Houston’s Week 6 game against the Jaguars.

    Blankenship suffered the concussion near the end of the first half and was carted off with a towel over his head. MJ Stewart took over at safety for a suddenly-ordinary Texans defense.

Edwards, LB Keyshaun Elliott, OL Jordan McFadden, DL Jayden Loving, and QB Case Keenum inactive against Atlanta. Monongai’s absence should translate into another big workload for D’Andre Swift, facing a tough Falcons rush defense. Meanwhile, Tyson Bagent will serve as Williams’ backup.

    Michael Penix (ribs) is active for Week 6 against the Bears.

    Penix was able to practice this week and will start for Atlanta in a potentially high scoring game against the Bears. Penix should be considered a streaming option in most formats.

    Pat Freiermuth (calf) is active for Week 6 against the Bucs.

    Muth was a late addition to the injury report, with the Steelers adding him on Saturday and listing him as questionable. With multiple starting receivers out this week, Muth will be asked to take on more work as a pass-catcher, moving him up the TE2 ranks. Inactive for the Steelers are WR Ben Skowronek, QB Drew Allar, QB Will Howard, CB Sean Murphy-Bunting, RB Eli Heidenreich, CB Terell Smith, and DL Kevin Jobity Jr.

    Rico Dowdle (toe) is active for Week 6 against the Bucs.

    Dowdle is back after missing three games with the toe issue. He will form a committee with Jaylen Warren, but the latter’s elite play last week likely earned him a larger split of the backfield in Week 6. Dowdle will primarily operate between the tackles, pushing him to the back of the RB3 ranks.

    Panthers declared OT Monroe Freeling, TE Ja’Tavion Sanders, QB Haynes King, RB AJ Dillon, OG Torricelli Simpkins, OT Albert Reese, and DT TeRah Edwards inactive for Week 6 against the Eagles.

    The good news is that offensive tackle Taylor Moton is active for the first time this year. He missed the first month of the season while recovering from treatment for a blood clot. He will start at right tackle in place of Freeling.

    Saints declared RB Alvin Kamara (back) active for Week 6 against the Giants.

    Kamara is active after NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported he would be expected to play in Week 6. He played through the back injury last week and is part of a rough running back committee in the Saints backfield. Kamara is in the RB4 ranks for fantasy purposes. Also active is Chris Olave (illness). The Saints declared QB Zach Wilson, EDGE Anfernee Jennings, S Mike Reid, LB Kaden Elliss, DT Nathan Shepherd, and DT John Ridgeway inactive for Week 6 against the Giants.

    Ravens declared QB Lamar Jackson, WR Elijah Sarratt, FS K’Von Wallace, C Cam Jurgens, OG Andrew Vorhees, TE Matthew Hibner, and DE Broderick Washington inactive for Week 6 against the Browns.

    The Ravens didn’t have any players listed as questionable entering the weekend, so all of these players are either healthy scratches or were ruled out before Sunday. The Ravens will start Tyler Huntley for the second consecutive week as Jackson continues to recover from the ankle injury he suffered in Week 4 against the Titans.
