Fantasy Football Player Notes

Trevor Lawrence began the 2026 season with a wonderful performance against the Browns as QB5 for the week. In Week 1, among 32 qualifying passers, Lawrence was third in yards per attempt, first in passing success rate, fourth in catchable target rate, and 14th in hero throw rate. I know it's obvious, but the Browns aren't the Broncos. This will be a tougher test for Lawrence in Week 2 than Cleveland could conjure up in Week 1. Lawrence shredded this pass defense last year to the tune of a QB2 finish for the week (31.2 points) with 279 passing yards, 7.8 yards per attempt, three passing scores, 20 rushing yards, and a rushing score. Denver wasn't a shutdown defense in Week 1, ranking 15th in passing success rate and 16th in EPA per dropback, so it's possible Lawrence, who looked in midseason form in Week 1, could have another strong day in Week 2.
