From the episode
Jags last season played the chargers...They won 35 to six. Trevor Lawrence only threw for 153 yards on a touchdown and had one pick, but they didn't punt one time in that game...in two full games, Liam Cohen against Jesse Minter, he has punted a grand total of zero times...if this team could score 40 points on a defense, then you want to start the quarterback in that game as a top five option. So that's why I think Trevor Lawrence makes a ton of sense as a top five play.
STACKED’s take
Lawrence's top-5 ranking backed by Liam Cohen's 35+ PPG history vs. Minter's defense.
Lawrence faces the Chargers defense (led by Jesse Minter), which has allowed Liam Cohen offenses to score 35+ points in two consecutive matchups without punting once; in 2023 Jaguars beat Chargers 35-6 with Lawrence throwing 153 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT on 200+ rushing yards; in 2024 Buccaneers beat Chargers 40-17 with Baker Mayfield throwing 4 TDs and 288 yards; Pat Fitzmaurice ranks Lawrence as a top-five QB play this week based on the process of targeting offenses that score 35+ points against this defense, noting Lawrence has played like a top-five MVP quarterback all season and the matchup advantage outweighs concerns about touchdown distribution to running backs.
