Who Should I Start? Trevor Lawrence or Tyler Shough

Thursday, July 24, 7:24 PM

Speaking at the team's first training camp practice on Wednesday, Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) said he's 100 percent healthy after missing seven games last year due to a shoulder injury and a concussion, per Jags beat writer John Oehser. Lawrence required season-ending surgery in December on his left (non-throwing) shoulder. "I feel really good," Lawrence said. "It's the best I felt in a long time physically." In addition to rehabbing in the offseason, the 25-year-old former first overall pick spent time honing in on his footwork. Lawrence so far hasn't lived up to his draft billing, but he was a Pro Bowler in 2022 and should be able to have a bounce-back season in head coach Liam Coen's offense in 2025. He'll have a nice one-two punch of Brian Thomas Jr. and Travis Hunter at wideout as well, making him a decent QB2 target with upside in superflex fantasy formats.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough completed 15 of his 22 passes for 165 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in a 27-13 preseason loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. Shough took over for Spencer Rattler in the second quarter and played into the fourth in his pro debut. He mostly played well, finding Mason Tipton for a 54-yard touchdown in the third quarter on a deep pass down the left sideline. That long TD helped ease the sting of a 43-yard pick-six that Shough threw to end his team's previous drive. Shough is locked in a battle with Rattler for the starting QB role in New Orleans and made a solid first impression on Sunday. He will look to keep the momentum going in his next preseason game, which will be Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
