Trevor Lawrence
Trevor Lawrence enters the season as a QB1-caliber fantasy asset thanks to a full offseason under play-caller Liam Coen, with real rushing equity attached to his passing volume. He closed last year on a heater — averaging near 27-31 fantasy points per game once his receiving corps was healthy — and hosts see that stretch as the real baseline, not the slow start. He's being drafted as a value QB, typically in the 7th-9th round range at his position, rather than a reach.
The last two weeks have been remarkably one-note: every show from Fantasy Football Today to Yahoo's Matt Harmon to Fantasy Life to FantasyPros to Dynasty Degens is bullish, framing Lawrence as underpriced given his 9 rushing TDs and late-season scoring surge under Coen. FantasyPros even floated him as a trade-up target ahead of Mahomes given his age and cheaper acquisition cost. No show has pushed back — the only tension is how early to take him, not whether to like him.
The line: Draft Lawrence as your QB1 in rounds 7-9 — the coverage is unanimous that his rushing floor and Coen continuity make him underpriced.
