Kyle Murray labeled Trey Lance the highest-ceiling play on the slate. The Chargers plan to let Lance run through the second half (and even one third-quarter drive), giving him the most secure snap share among skill players. Last preseason he racked up 662 passing yards, two passing TDs, 168 rushing yards on 21 carries, and two more scores on the ground. Murray expects a similar dual-threat script; one rushing TD plus 150 combined yards would likely eclipse any DST score and make Lance the premier captain in large-field GPPs.

Polzin flagged Trey Lance’s passing-yard prop as mis-priced on UnderDog. While PrizePicks had already bumped or pulled the market, UnderDog still posted 116.5 yards. Polzin advised taking the over there, reasoning that Lance should see extended Hall-of-Fame-Game snaps and that the line discrepancy provides built-in value for bettors willing to shop around.

Polzin warned that Trey Lance’s passing yard total has been bet up to 119.5 and is now "a little bit too high." He noted Lance’s accuracy issues in previous preseasons and prefers hitching his wagon to the quarterback’s legs rather than his arm. Although Lance will see heavy snaps with only two Chargers QBs active, Polzin doubts the former first-rounder clears 120 yards, urging bettors to take the under while the number remains above 110.

Eric Polzin said bettors should smash the 27.5-yard rushing line on Trey Lance. Lance is locked in for the entire first half plus one third-quarter series, a workload Polzin confirmed from Chargers beat writers. Lance’s dual-threat profile and Los Angeles’ pass-heavy preseason tendencies (third-highest pass percentage and top-five in total attempts last August) create extra scramble chances. With no Justin Herbert and several rookie wideouts on the field, Polzin projects Lance to reach 30-40 rushing yards on volume and one explosive run, making the over his favorite prop of the slate.

Eric Polzin called Trey Lance "the top player on the board" and recommended slotting him in the captain/MVP spot. Lance is expected to get the longest quarterback run for Los Angeles as the staff evaluates him for the full-season QB2 job. His willingness to pull the ball and run adds bonus scoring paths that other signal-callers on the slate do not possess. Facing a Lions defense that rarely blitzes in preseason and will be resting starters, Polzin projects Lance for a full half of play, 140-plus combined yards and multiple scoring opportunities, making him worth the hefty salary multiplier.

Eric Polzin said Trey Lance should anchor most Hall of Fame Game Showdown builds because the Chargers have already confirmed he will play the entire first half and one additional drive after halftime – a workload no other quarterback on the slate can match. Lance’s dual-threat profile raises his floor and ceiling, and Polzin expects him to be "the most-owned player on the slate." The 9to5 lineup builder, which incorporates PrizePicks props, projects Lance for the highest raw fantasy score. Polzin did issue one note of caution: Jim Harbaugh’s preseason Chargers have ranked third in pass attempts, so Lance may be asked to air it out more than run, slightly muting rushing production. For large-field tournaments Polzin suggested a leverage pivot – fading Lance entirely and praying for an early injury or quick hook that would thrust his backup DJ into extended action.
