Lawrence is still looking for his first 30-score campaign through the air. Lawrence doesn't gel with his No. 1 down-field weapon in Brian Thomas Jr., and he's neither surgical nor explosive enough that I am comfortable projecting another fantasy step forward.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

Lawrence's inability to reach 30 passing TDs and poor chemistry with Thomas Jr. make him a fade.

Patrick Daugherty ranks Lawrence QB17 and fades him, noting he's still looking for his first 30-score campaign through the air after five years in the league. Lawrence's inability to reach 30 passing touchdowns is a pattern, not a fluke. He doesn't gel with Brian Thomas Jr., his No. 1 downfield weapon, and lacks the surgical or explosive ability to project another fantasy step forward. Daugherty is skeptical of last year's goal-line rushing usage repeating and prefers different upside bets at this part of the board.
