• Trevor Lawrence’s three touchdown passes propel Jaguars: Lawrence is starting to live up to his first overall pick status, which is inching him closer to being a weekly fantasy starter.

• Jamaal Williams’ 20 carries are hard to ignore: D’Andre Swift is injured, which is at least somewhat impacting his playing time, but Williams isn’t going away anytime soon.

• Romeo Doubs’ breakout game: The Packers wide receiver led the team in targets and receptions, which could become a common occurrence in Green Bay.

Quarterback

Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars (Rostered in 50.7% of leagues on ESPN)

Lawrence was one of four quarterbacks this week with three or more touchdown passes, and he did so in a game that Jacksonville dominated and didn’t need to pass late in.

• His 772 passing yards on the season ranks 13th-most among quarterbacks.
• His PFF passing grade is noticeably higher this season compared to last.
• The Jaguars have run the most red-zone plays this season (45).
• Jacksonville has passed at an above-average 64.5% rate in the first half of games.
• They are one of seven teams to run over 50% of the time in the second half, but that should change with fewer huge blowouts.
• Lawrence can be a solid backup, especially during bye weeks, but could become a fantasy starter if his Week 3 performance carries on into future games.

Jameis Winston, New Orleans Saints (29.2%)

Winston racked up the second-most passing yards this week despite losing two of his three starting wide receivers during the game.

• He ranks sixth on the season in passing yards (858) and eighth in passing touchdowns (6).
• He accomplished all of that despite being limited this past week with both back and ankle injuries.
• His value will somewhat depend on his ability and his receivers’ ability to stay healthy.
• If things go right from a health standpoint, he has a chance to be a fantasy starter during the rest of the season.
