Yahoo Sports NFL on Trevor Lawrence

Lawrence's elite EPA and Colts' depleted defense create favorable Week 8 spot.

Fresh off the bye, Lawrence is QB11 per game (20.4 PPG) on the year while generating +0.30 EPA per dropback (QB4); he has thrown 14 touchdown passes across six starts. He'll be without one of his tackles for the rest of the year, but they have one of the most experienced swing tackles behind him. Jacksonville hosts a tanking Indianapolis defense that ranks 12th in half PPR points allowed to QBs; the Colts just traded DT1 DeForest Buckner and the best LG in the NFL in Quenton Nelson this week. The Jaguars enter as 7.5-point home favorites with an implied team total of 28.25 points (third).
