Trevor Lawrence Emerges as 2026 Late-Round QB Value After 23.31 FPPG Post-Bye Surge

Summary
23.31 fantasy points per game over his final 10 games made Lawrence a standout late-round 2026 target, after he topped 20 points seven times and finished as a weekly top-12 QB in eight contests.
That jump followed Jacksonville’s Week 8 bye, when Liam Coen’s offense clicked: the Jaguars scored 32.8 points per game, went 13-4, and Lawrence’s touchdown rate rose to 6.6% from 3.5%.
Nine rushing touchdowns — seven after the bye — boosted his ceiling, though even some regression on the ground could be offset by more passing production in a system where he still averaged 32.9 attempts per game.
Jacksonville’s case for another breakout also rests on depth around him, with Brian Thomas Jr., Parker Washington, Jakobi Meyers and Brenton Strange giving Lawrence enough support to push toward 30-35 touchdown passes.
