AFC South Divisional Dive
by Jason Allwine, May 3, 2022Fantasy success often starts with a team’s quarterback. The Texans have now shown their commitment to last year’s third round pick by trading away Deshaun Watson, letting Tyrod Taylor walk, and not drafting a QB. Last season with barely any weapons, Davis Mills finished with a 63.6-percent (No. 9 among qualified quarterbacks) Completion Percentage Vs Man and a 74.5-percent (No. 6) Completion Percentage Vs Zone. Now the Texans have brought in a better RB in Marlon Mack and drafted an explosive Alabama WR in John Metchie.
Expecting Trevor Lawrence to succeed last season was a tall order as nothing seemed to go right for the Jaguars. There hasn’t been a more slam dunk QB prospect like Lawrence since probably Andrew Luck, and it would be extremely surprising if he doesn’t pan out. Doug Pederson guided Carson Wentz to a near MVP season, and was instrumental in the Eagles Super Bowl win with Nick Foles as well. Now he has one of the highest touted QBs in NFL history.
