Jacksonville Jaguars DFS Spin
Entering Monday night, Trevor Lawrence leads all Week 2 quarterbacks in EPA per play and completion percentage over expected. Lawrence had a solidly productive game against the Commanders but hardly lit the world on fire, especially in a week when Tua Tagovailoa went off for 469 yards and six TDs. However, Lawrence needed only 30 passing attempts to put away the floundering Colts. His efficiency and accuracy point to the potential for bigger days ahead if he’s pushed by the opposing offense. The Chargers should do their part in Week 3, setting up Lawrence for a strong week if he has indeed taken a big step forward this season.
Los Angeles Chargers DFS Spin
Justin Herbert (ribs) is questionable for Week 3 against the Jaguars. Sportsbooks opened the week with the Chargers as double-digit favorites. That number dwindled throughout the week until it cratered to -3 in favor of the Chargers on Friday. Sharp money is not buying Herbert suiting up for this game. The franchise passer is dealing with fractured rib cartilage after taking a hard hit in Week 2. If he plays, Herbert will be a risky QB1 bet. Fantasy managers should have a waiver wire option in mind for Sunday because Herbert now looks to be on the wrong side of questionable.
