Welcome to our new feature where we recap a particular player’s journey in the 2022-2023 NFL Fantasy Football Season. This article features preseason expectations, draft expectations, overall season production, and critical moments. We will do this for all 32 teams by highlighting a player per team.
PRESEASON EXPECTATIONS
After a rocky season, Trevor Lawrence was hoping for a fresh start, especially with a new head coach. The Jaguars did add some talent for him to progress him even more. People were still high on the prodigious sophomore.
DRAFT EXPECTATIONS
Trevor was the 18th QB taken and picked usually around the 6th-7th round. At this time of the draft, you’re hoping for him to break out. This would be of good value especially if he did take the next step.
OVERALL SEASON PRODUCTION
His sophomore season was what many of us expected of him. Trevor Lawrence bounced back from a nightmare first year to looking like the generational QB prospect he was labeled early on. He threw for 4113 yards and 25 TDs while only throwing eight interceptions. In the running game, he ran in for five touchdowns as well. This performance gave him the eighth-best ranking for QBs and the 16th overall player. His third season could bump him up with the elite quarterbacks in the NFL.
CRITICAL MOMENTS DURING THE SEASON
Week 3 vs Los Angeles Chargers
After a pedestrian start to the season, Trevor Lawrence went off in the Week 3 matchup against the Chargers. He threw for 262 yards and three TDs in the 28-point win. He connected with Zay Jones for a 14-yard TD in the first quarter. A four-yard TD pass to Christian Kirk and a late fourth-quarter touchdown to Marvin Jones Jr sealed the deal in an upset victory.
Week 14 vs Tennessee Titans
With the playoffs still in sight, the Jaguars went to Tennessee and stole a victory over the Titans. In his best game of the season, Trevor threw for 368 yards and three TDs. He connected with Evan Engram for a couple of TDs and he sneaked in one in what turned out to be the start of an immaculate run for Jacksonville. He had a season-high 33.42 FP and QB 1.
Week 15 vs Dallas Cowboys
Another big game happened the week after when Dallas visited Jacksonville. Trevor was still hot from last week with 27/42 passing for 318 yards and four TDs. Zay Jones was the main beneficiary with three TDs and the Jaguars won on a pick-6 in overtime. Things were looking bright for the Jaguars.
