Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2018
2017
2016
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.
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.
Now healthy, the 2016 first-rounder should enjoy the new 4-3 defense that he's far more familiar with compared to Rex Ryan's 3-4. Lawson will start at end across from Jerry Hughes and might not come off the field that much considering there's not much experience behind those two quality pass rushers. The Bills might have a nasty D-Line if everyone stays healthy this season, as Marcell Dareus and Kyle Williams form a pretty lethal interior pair.
Buffalo's 2016 first-round selection, Lawson will be an immediate starter on the defensive front, if and when he's fully healthy. However, after pre-draft concerns, the Clemson product underwent shoulder surgery in May, and could begin his rookie season on the sidelines. The Bills are relying on a few of their draft picks, most notably Lawson, to re-energize a pass rush that fell on hard times in 2015.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
No lock for roster spot
LBBuffalo Bills
July 10, 2023
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.
