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.

Michael Penix Jr. News
Sunday, October 4, 3:18 AM
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. made his season debut against the Green Bay Packers in Week 3 after tearing his ACL last November. It was his first game back since Week 11. The 26-year-old was solid in his season debut, completing 18-of-25 passes for 256 yards, one touchdown, and one interception, while rushing twice for minus-2 yards. Penix will look to continue his solid play on Monday night against the New Orleans Saints. The Saints are allowing about 229 passing yards per game. New Orleans was recently shredded by Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins for 248 passing yards and three touchdowns. Penix has a positive matchup and will only get more comfortable as the season wears on. He is a solid Superflex or QB2 option this week, with RotoBaller ranking Penix 24th among all quarterbacks in Week 4.
