Efficient short-passing in first half; concerns about ceiling if Bengals play passive
Trevor LawrenceQBJAX
Trevor Lawrence's Week 1 performance showed concerning efficiency metrics: 4.8-4.1 yards per attempt in the first half with 2.4-second release time (14 of 19 passing), but in the second half when the Jaguars were up 20-3, he averaged 12 air yards per pass attempt on 5 of 12 attempts with a 33% inaccurate target rate, resembling 'old Trevor Lawrence.' The source is concerned that if the Bengals' defense plays passively like Al Golden's approach (blitzing at league's lowest rate), Lawrence will be limited to short passes rather than explosive plays, which could suppress his fantasy ceiling.
