Jaguars' Trevor Lawrence a 'notable start' in Week 9 of fantasy football

One fantasy football analyst believes that Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence is a "notable start" in Week 9 against Baltimore.

Fantasy football analysts have tipped Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence to start in Week 9, according to Matt Okada of NFL.com. Lawrence scored 19.4 fantasy points last Sunday with just 10 completions, and he has now achieved over 19 fantasy points in five out of his seven starts, wrote Okada. The Baltimore Ravens have struggled in recent games, with Joe Burrow and Josh Allen leading the charge. As a result, Lawrence should be poised for three straight starts.

Lawrence's performance this season has been impressive. Through seven games, he has completed 66% of his passes for an average of 8.5 yards per attempt, throwing 17 touchdowns while only throwing four interceptions. He takes care of the ball and generates explosive plays, which has contributed to the Jaguars' offense ranking fifth in scoring and third in yards per pass attempt.

The Ravens' defense, meanwhile, has been allowing big performances lately and ranks 22nd in scoring and 22nd in yards per pass attempt allowed. If the Ravens' offense struggles with Joe Fagnano at quarterback, it could mean more scoring opportunities for Lawrence.
