Trevor Lawrence Week 1 Outlook - Jaguars at Dolphins

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Wed, Sep 4th 2024, 8:38pm EDT

Lawrence was battered and bruised for most of last season. He dealt with a sprained MCL, ankle sprain, concussion, and bruised right shoulder. He still willed his way to a QB13 finish in fantasy points per game while ranking 14th in CPOE and seventh in highly accurate throw rate. Lawrence should light up the Dolphins' secondary in Week 1. Last year, Miami allowed the 12th-highest yards per attempt, the seventh-most passing touchdowns, and the 10th-most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks. Miami's issues with defending play-action last year, if still present, could be their undoing. Last year, the Dolphins allowed the ninth-highest passer rating and the fifth-most passing touchdowns to play-action passing. Lawrence was 10th in play-action dropbacks and sixth in big-time throw rate on play-action passes.
