2023 Fantasy Outlook
Lawson was a first round pick in 2016, and even though he has never been able to emerge as a superstar he has proven himself as a solid contributor. He'll rotate in as a reserve Defensive End. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Expected to suit up Sunday
Lawson was listed as a full participant Friday after missing Thursday's practice session due to an illness.
ANALYSIS
Lawson has become a role player at this stage of his career with just 13 tackles -- including 1.0 sacks -- on the season while exceeding 50 percent of the defensive snaps in only two games. Nevertheless, the Bills' defensive line has stood out all season amid a banged-up defense, so having a good rotational piece like Lawson available can only help.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
No lock for roster spot
Lawson could be a roster casualty for the Bills this preseason, Ryan O'Halloran of The Buffalo News reports.
ANALYSIS
Even with Von Miller potentially starting the season on the PUP list, Buffalo has a wealth of pass-rushing options that includes Greg Rousseau, Leonard Floyd and A.J. Epenesa. Lawson has never really lived up to his draft status after being the 16th overall pick in 2016, and the 29-year-old managed only 4.5 sacks in 29 games over the last two seasons between the Jets and Bills. He'll likely be competing with Shane Ray for the final spot in the defensive end rotation.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2017
2016
Lawson started for the Bills defense in 10 of 11 games last year, sacking the quarterback four times, defending a couple passes, and forcing a fumble. His feet are sufficiently wet at this point. It's time to see what the former first-round draft pick can do in his third NFL campaign.
