Trevor Lawrence News
Saturday, October 3, 10:47 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence has not piled up huge passing-yardage totals lately, but the touchdowns have kept coming. Lawrence threw for 182 yards against New England last week, his second straight game below 200, yet he still found the end zone three times and added 25 yards on the ground. He has seven touchdown passes against two interceptions through three games, with Jacksonville scoring 27 points per game along the way. Cincinnati does present a challenge up front. The Bengals have generated pressure on 39.7% of opposing dropbacks, the fifth-highest rate in the league, so Lawrence may not have a clean pocket all afternoon. RotoBaller is still very high on him for Sunday, ranking Lawrence as QB4 for Week 4. The passing yardage has been uneven, but his touchdown production and Jacksonville's strong start offensively keep him firmly in QB1 territory against Cincinnati.

Malik Willis News
Tuesday, October 6, 1:19 PM
The last fantasy performance from Miami Dolphins quarterback Malik Willis may convince fantasy managers in 2QB and superflex leagues with lots of teams to drop him. If that happens, it could be a good idea to pick him up off waivers if available. In these leagues, every QB with a starting job should be rostered, at the bare minimum. Miami's receiving corps is struggling with injuries right now -- WRs Caleb Douglas (ankle) and Chris Bell (knee) are dealing with separate ailments, and Douglas didn't play in Week 4. Willis' fantasy point total of 2.5 points was dismal, and he was worse than many replacement-level players at other positions, even in those leagues. But he performed better when Douglas was healthy, and the rookie wideout could be the key to getting the offense going. Willis should be avoided in all 1QB formats, but in deep superflex leagues, he should be universally rostered. The Vikings defense shut him down well in his last game, but better days should be ahead.
