Last week, Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars blew out the Houston Texans in the penultimate game of the regular season by a score of 31-3. However, Lawrence did not have a great game like the box score would suggest.

Lawrence went 17/21 for 152 yards and an interception with no touchdowns. The defense and the run game took care of the scoring against a weak Texans team. But this is not exemplary of Lawrence’s season as he has been one of the league’s better quarterbacks in the second half of the year.
On the other side, Joshua Dobbs is set to make his second start on the Tennessee Titans. He had an average game against the Dallas Cowboys. Considering the Cowboys strong defense, Dobbs will put up a serviceable game against the Jaguars.
Dobbs went 20/39 for 232 yards along with a touchdown and an interception. He will be looking to one up his performance this weekend and play spoiler to the Jaguars playoff hopes. It is a classic winner wins the division game in Jacksonville.

Can an unproven Dobbs lead the Titans to the playoffs over Lawrence?
Joshua Dobbs has been irrelevant in fantasy but after a decent performance last week and getting Derrick Henry back, he should be able to produce. On the other side, Trevor Lawrence will be looking to put on a better performance than last week.
In must win games, Mike Vrabel has a track record of preparing his defenses to play well and somehow come out with a win. Based off of this, we can expect this game to be relatively low scoring with both quarterbacks putting up decent performances.

The winning team is bound to have the better quarterback in fantasy this week as both quarterbacks are unproven in the long run. Lawrence has plenty of experience in college but none in the NFL on a stage like this. Dobbs has even less experience.
Lawrence should be the better play this week but don’t be surprised if Dobbs plays a little better considering the opposite defense. It should be a fun game that determines who hosts a playoff game in the AFC.
