Lawrence's 222-yard prop and under-shaded TD line reflect Broncos' strong defense despite Week 1 tackling issues.

Lawrence shredded the Browns defense for 245 yards and four touchdowns in Week 1, but faces a significantly more challenging matchup against the Broncos. While Denver had a historically bad tackling performance against the Chiefs (248 missed tackle yards allowed, the most in NextGenStats' database, with a 29.8% missed tackle percentage third-worst since 2018), the Broncos still have a strong defense on paper overall. Vegas is giving significant respect to Denver's defense: Lawrence's pass yards prop is just 222 yards and his pass touchdowns line of 1.5 is heavily shaded toward the under. In the same game, Bo Nix has better passing projections. The Jaguars have a below-average offensive line, and the Broncos' pass rush should exploit this. Lawrence should be considered just outside the fantasy QB1 radar in this matchup.
