Davis Mills vs Trevor Lawrence: Who Should You Start?
Trevor Lawrence and Davis Mills are at different tiers heading into 2026. The Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback averaged 20.6 PPG in 2025, a full 9.0 points per game ahead of Davis Mills's 11.6 with the Houston Texans. That kind of gap doesn't close on matchup alone.
The per-game difference of 9.0 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. Davis Mills threw for 915 yards and 5 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.
Davis Mills has his bye in Week 14, and Trevor Lawrence rests in Week 12. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at quarterback for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
