Daniel Jones vs Trevor Lawrence: Who Should You Start?
Deciding between Daniel Jones and Trevor Lawrence is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Indianapolis Colts quarterback put up 18.0 PPG in 2025 over 13 games; Trevor Lawrence of the Jacksonville Jaguars averaged 20.6 in 17. A 2.6-point margin that could shift on any given week.
The per-game difference of 2.6 points favors Trevor Lawrence, though savvy managers know that gap can shrink or widen depending on the weekly slate. Defensive matchup, recent scoring trends, and health status all shift the calculus from one quarterback to the other.
Both lean on arm talent and offensive scheme as traditional pocket passers. Daniel Jones threw for 3101 yards and 19 touchdowns, while Trevor Lawrence posted 4007 yards and 29 scores. Volume, red zone efficiency, and game script are the key week-to-week differentiators when neither carries rushing upside.
One scheduling note: Daniel Jones is off Week 14 and Trevor Lawrence Week 12. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in quarterback for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.
