News: 19 hours agoJaguars head coach Liam Coen said Tuesday that Lawrence and the team's other established starters will sit out Saturday's preseason opener versus the Saints, Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Spin: Though he'll be held out Saturday, Lawrence is still expected to receive extended reps against the Saints when the two teams link up for a joint practice Thursday, per John Shipley of SI.com. Shipley relays that the Jaguars are also planning on Lawrence taking limited snaps, if any, in their final two exhibition contests, a departure from how he's been utilized in his prior five preseasons. Lawrence doesn't believe a lack of preseason reps will affect his preparation heading into Week 1, especially now that he already has a year under his belt in Coen's offensive system. The 26-year-old had the best fantasy season of his career in 2025, setting personal bests in touchdown passes (29), rushing yards (359) and rushing touchdowns (nine).

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Lawrence is entering his sixth NFL season after a breakout 2025 in which he ranked no lower than seventh among quarterbacks in pass attempts, completions, yards and touchdowns, as well as top 10 in carries, yards and TDs. He reeled off seven consecutive top-10 fantasy outings to finish the season. Lawrence's efficiency has been fine, at best, but he continues to generate big volume, having finished in the top 10 among QBs in pass and rush attempts in each of his four full seasons. With a strong, deep group of pass catchers and Liam Coen back as playcaller, the 26-year-old is well positioned for mid-to-back-end QB1 production.
