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

3 articles · Updated · DraftKings · Aug 31

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.
