Trevor Lawrence, Starters Won't Play on Saturday

Thursday, August 13, 7:58 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen told the media that quarterback Trevor Lawrence and the team's starters will not play on Saturday when they face the New Orleans Saints. Coen wanted to emphasize getting first-team reps during their joint practice on Thursday, while resting for their preseason contest on Saturday. Lawrence has had a solid training camp and is far ahead of where he was last year at this time. His stellar finish to the season was well documented, as he led all quarterbacks in fantasy points from Week 9 on. Fantasy managers shouldn't hesitate to select Lawrence for his solid rushing upside, weapons, and feel for Coen's offense.

Caleb Williams' Accuracy "Trending Upward"

Thursday, August 20, 6:48 PM

Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson said on Thursday that quarterback Caleb Williams' accuracy is "trending upward," per Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk. After going through some growing pains as a rookie in 2024, Williams made significant improvements in his first season playing under Johnson in 2025. Across 17 games, the 24-year-old threw for 3,942 yards, 27 touchdowns, and seven interceptions while also rushing for 388 yards and three scores. However, Williams completed just 58.1% of his pass attempts and has shown a tendency to miss on simple throws more consistently than would be expected from a highly-talented quarterback. If Williams can continue to fine-tune his raw skills while maintaining his ability to make spectacular plays and throws, he could be in line for a monster breakout in 2026. Fantasy managers should view Williams as a low-end QB1 with upside.
