Why It Matters: Faced with an extremely favorable matchup, the Jaguars were content to play a pretty vanilla brand of football. The result: Lawrence completed just 16 passes for 242 yards. He completed a mere 10 passes in a blowout win over the Colts on Sunday, but three of them were touchdowns. This week, it was only one. It casts some doubt over other upcoming plus matchups in that Lawrence has fewer than 20 completions in all but two games this season, leaving his touchdowns to carry a lot of weight when it comes to generating fantasy value. He still offers QB1

upside each week, but he's far from the safest choice.
