Coincidentally, his opposing QB today, Joshua Dobbs, is #4 on the list with 0.90 fumbles per game (18 fumbles in 20 games including today.)

Ryan Leaf is between those two QBs with 0.96 fumbles per game with 24 in 25 games.

Crazy that he's only lost 11 of them though. Lawrence had 12 last year and lost 9 of them. Is there an art to fumbling the right way?

A lot of these fumbles are actually just bad shotgun snaps by the center (we have the worst snapping center in the world if you don't know) that count as a fumble against Fields.

bad snaps by the center should be charged as a fumble by the center: https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/comments/jgrar5/stat_question_if_a_center_snaps_the_ball_over_the/g9s1p35/

I'm surprised to learn they're not. I think a fumble is generally credited to the last player that controlled the ball. So a qb will always be credited for a bad qb-rb exchange, for example, even if it's the rb's fault.
