Outlook Trevor Lawrence

Offseason Stability Primed to Fuel Another Strong Fantasy Campaign

Trevor Lawrence enters the year settling into a highly stable offensive system. After throwing for 4,263 yards and 32 touchdowns last season, we project him to remain the clear focal point of the Jaguars' passing game. Offseason reports highlight his growing confidence, while scheme stability will help him maximize a receiving corps featuring Brian Thomas Jr. and Jakobi Meyers.

Rostered in 94% of leagues, Lawrence is a trusted starter. Our models project a highly respectable season, forecasting 3,862 passing yards, 26 touchdowns, and 339 rushing yards with five scores. This rushing contribution preserves a robust floor.

Analyzing his draft market momentum, Lawrence's ADP has remained stable, moving from 99 in early May to 93 in 1.0 PPR formats. At this mid-round price, our projections view him as an excellent value steal who can easily outperform his draft-day capital.

Outlook C.J. Stroud

Motivated Franchise Quarterback Primed for a Major Bounce-Back Season

After a slightly down 2025 campaign with 3,041 passing yards and 19 touchdowns, Stroud enters his fourth season in peak physical condition. Reports suggest he has added significant muscle and improved his speed, which could boost his rushing contributions. Team coaches praise his dialed-in mindset as he seeks to silence critics.

Stroud is supported by a talented group of pass-catchers, including elite targets Nico Collins and Tank Dell, alongside rising weapon Jayden Higgins and reliable tight end Dalton Schultz. Houston also bolstered its offensive line and backfield, featuring David Montgomery, to establish a more balanced attack that will sustain Stroud's efficiency.

Draft market trends show Stroud's ADP has steadily slipped from the 11th round down to the 14th round over the last month. Our models project him to bounce back with 3,709 passing yards and 22 touchdowns, making him a premium value steal at his current sliding price. Managers should eagerly capitalize on this falling cost.
