Positive signalProjection

Lawrence's late-season QB1 form and rushing upside could overcome tough Cleveland defense.

Lawrence had a breakout 2025 season as QB6 in fantasy points per game, his first season eclipsing 18 fantasy points per game. He recorded nine rushing touchdowns (likely unsustainable) and ranked fifth in red zone carries per game among quarterbacks, suggesting some carryover rushing touchdown production is possible in 2026. Lawrence caught fire late in the season (Weeks 12-18) as QB1 in fantasy points per game during that seven-game stretch. During that stretch, among 30 qualifying quarterbacks, he ranked third in yards per attempt, fifth in passing yards per game, third in hero throw rate, 11th in catchable target rate, and second in passing touchdowns. Cleveland's pass defense was stout to close last season (seventh-fewest yards per attempt, 11th-lowest passing success rate, third-lowest EPA per dropback in Weeks 12-18), though they lost Myles Garrett and added Jared Verse. The source notes Lawrence could rise above a tough on-paper Week 1 matchup.
