Trevor Lawrence
vs George Kittle

“A high-scoring week overall made him the QB15 (19.8 points), but that was a solid fantasy outcome for gamers, considering Lawrence did nothing in the fourth quarter because of the blowout. Lawrence had 1 dropback in the final quarter, the second time in three weeks Jacksonville has cruised to the end of a game. The Jaguars are 24th in pass rate over expectation (-2.6%) because they have led so often this season.”

“Trevor Lawrence is playing the best ball of his career and WR Parker Washington is the real deal after his late-season breakout last year.”

“Trevor Lawrence has been Jekyll and Hyde to begin the season. He beat up on the Browns as the QB5 for the week, and then he was the QB26 in weekly scoring last week against Denver. Among 28 qualifying quarterbacks, he ranks seventh in yards per attempt, fifth in passing success rate, 20th in highly accurate throw rate, 25th in hero throw rate, and he has the highest turnover-worthy play rate.”

“Two weeks into the season, Trevor Lawrence ranks among the top 10 quarterbacks in both expected points added (EPA) per play and fantasy points per dropback. The issue is that he ranks 28th in total dropbacks, dead last among signal-callers to have played all of their team’s two games. That volume should trend upward, and Lawrence’s fantasy scoring will follow.”

“Trevor Lawrence could have very well finished atop the quarterback leaderboard this week, had he played an entire game. With Jacksonville off to a 24-0 lead at halftime over Cleveland, the Jaguars eased off the throttle, before opting to sit Lawrence in the final quarter of play. Even still, he threw four touchdowns and 245 yards on 18 completions and targeted five players at least twice.”

“Parker Washington Picked Up Where He Left Off Trevor Lawrence has plenty of fantasy points to give, and can support multiple starters. But Washington is unquestionably his favorite target. Lawrence spread the ball around on Sunday, connecting with Washington, Jakobi Meyers , Brenton Strange , and Josh Cameron for TDs.”

“Trevor Lawrence could lean on Strange this week with his perimeter wide receivers staring down tough matchups.”

“In 2023, Lawrence had an 81.1 PFF grade, a 5.8-percent big-time throw rate, a 3.9-percent turnover-worthy play rate, and a 72.3 adjusted completion percentage. Those numbers were virtually identical across the board in 2025, down to a total difference of nine passing yards between the two seasons, and he cleared 4,000 in both. The exception to that would be his big-time throw and turnover-worthy play rates, which dropped to 4.6 percent and 3.2 percent, respectively.”

“If I am using Purdy, I want some lineups where Kittle is the main beneficiary rather than automatically assuming the production lands with the WRs. I will have a few double TE with Purdy + Kittle and McBride. Fannin at 4.8% is my favorite cheaper tournament TE.”

“Overall, Kittle has a 16.1% target share, a 30% target per route run rate, 3.07 YPRR, three red zone targets, a 20% first-read share, and one deep target. Kittle should continue to see his workload slowly ramp up. He’s a TE1 again this week.”

“Kyle Terada-Imagn Images If he falls far enough in your draft, George Kittle could actually be a great value.”

“Doctors’ orders: TARGET George Kittle | TE, San Francisco 49ers At some point, Father Time collects his payment George Kittle is one of the most dominant tight ends of his generation.”

“Tight end George Kittle is attacking his Achilles rehab, and the preseason breakout of De’Zhaun Stribling is upon us; it gives Purdy an assortment of weapons to dominate every time he takes a snap.”

“Last year, Kittle was the TE2 on a points-per-game basis, averaging 14.7 PPR fantasy points per contest. Unfortunately, the 49ers are already dealing with injuries at the wide receiver position, which could lead to Kittle being the team’s top targeted player this season.”

“TE George Kittle is recovering from a torn Achilles and might not be ready for the start of the season.”
