Lawrence faces a stout Browns pass defense despite strong late-season form.

Trevor Lawrence had a breakout 2025 season as QB6 in fantasy points per game, his first season eclipsing 18 fantasy points per game. However, nine rushing touchdowns likely won't repeat in 2026, though he was fifth in red zone carries per game among quarterbacks, suggesting some carryover. Lawrence caught fire to close last season (Weeks 12-18) as QB1 in fantasy points per game, ranking third in yards per attempt, fifth in passing yards per game, third in hero throw rate, 11th in catchable target rate, and second in passing touchdowns among 30 qualifying quarterbacks. The Browns lost Myles Garrett but added Jared Verse—a downgrade but not by a ton. Cleveland's pass defense was stout to close last season (Weeks 12-18), allowing the seventh-fewest yards per attempt, 11th-lowest passing success rate, and third-lowest EPA per dropback. Lawrence could rise above a tough on-paper matchup for Week 1, but it's ok if you have some worries.
