Who Should I Start? Trevor Lawrence or Mac Jones

Sunday, November 26, 7:33 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence completed 23-of-38 passes for 364 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in a 24-21 win against Houston. Lawrence also added a touchdown with his legs in the game. After a slow start to 2023, Lawrence appears to have turned a corner, as that is now back-to-back 20+ point games for the young quarterback. His 24.6 fantasy points scored were also his second-highest output of the season. The chemistry with WR Calvin Ridley that was on display in the preseason is now officially heating up, with 12 hookups for 192 yards and three touchdowns between the duo over the past two games. The former first-overall pick has some tough matchups on the horizon with Cincinnati, Cleveland, and Baltimore, but he is in quite a rhythm right now and is firmly on the QB1 radar.

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones was benched and replaced by Bailey Zappe during halftime of Sunday's game against the New York Giants. Jones had completed 12 of 21 passes for 89 yards, zero touchdowns, and two interceptions at the time of his departure. He now has a horrendous ratio of 10 touchdowns to 12 interceptions this season. He also fumbled on Sunday, but it was recovered by New England. Week 12 marks the fourth time this season that Jones has been benched for Zappe. It last happened in Week 10 when Bill Belichick made the switch ahead of a decisive fourth-quarter drive versus the Colts. In that scenario, Zappe threw a game-ending interception. Zappe doesn't represent a major drop-off from Jones, so Demario Douglas, Rhamondre Stevenson, and Hunter Henry should continue to warrant fantasy consideration.
