Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence ran for just 8 yards on five attempts in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. But he found the end zone with two of them and finished Sunday as the No. 9 fantasy QB by ESPN scoring. Lawrence added just 169 yards passing, completing 16 of 31 passes, with no TDs and 2 INTs.
The 51.6% completion rate marked a season low for Lawrence, in the first game since losing WR Christian Kirk for the season. He also went without WR Gabe Davis.
Lawrence also faced a Philly defense that entered the weekend as the eighth-worst scoring matchup for QBs. Only four teams have allowed fewer TD passes on the year. The Eagles have yielded just 1 total TD pass over the past four games -- and just 3 total TDs to the position.
Lawrence gets at least somewhat friendlier matchups with the Vikings and Lions the next two weeks, ahead of a Week 12 bye. Don't expect to find him inside the top 12 of our QB rankings for either contest, though.
Lawrence will be usable at home against a Minnesota defense that has softened in recent weeks. But he has cracked the top 12 in just three of nine outings so far.
The Lions have yet to allow more than 1 TD pass to any opponent.
