Lamar Jackson

Lamar Jackson threw for 40 touchdowns. Threw. With only four interceptions. Those stats alone ensure he would be ranked high, but almost a 1000 yards rushing and a handful of touchdowns there too and he is unparalled from a fantasy perspective. Perhaps the smartest running quarterback in the league

Could improve if offensive line gels with more stability

A mix of exceptional rushing prowess and arm talent combined with formidable weapons on offense. That's Lamar Jackson in a nutshell. 

Jackson continues to prove the masses wrong at every turn.

He's not a QB: Wrong.

He needs a specialized system: Wrong.

He's not smart enough to negotiate his own deal: Wrong.

He's not a good pocket passer: Wrong.

He'll never be a 4,000-yard passer: Wrong.

40 TDs? Maybe if he gets 20 as a runner: Wrong

Jackson was only sacked 5% of the time against the blitz last year. Jayden Daniels? 11% Kyler Murray? 9%. Jayden Hurts? 15%

His completion percentage vs the blitz was 65.3% - higher than Josh Allen, Pat Mahomes, Hurts, and Daniels. Only Joe Burrow and Brock Purdy were better among the top QBs.

Against pressure without the blitz, Jackson's completion percentage (65.3%) was also up there with Burrow (68.1%) and Purdy (67.5). 

Jackson might well be the best QB in the league and one of the better passers. Expect similar efficiency and productivity in Year Two in Todd Monken's offense. DeAndre Hopkins is a bonus.

Breaking the 4,000 passing yard mark for the first time in his career, he threatened to become the first quarterback to add 1,000 rushing yards with 4,000 passing. 2024 shows that record-breaking production is in play; the only knock is that he does not receive the goal-line rush opportunities that Josh Allen or Jalen Hurts do. 

Elite dual-threat entering year two with Offensive Coordinator Todd Monken after dominating in his offense last season. Ravens' offense is oozing with offensive talent.

Jackson was the best rushing QB in the league again last season, but he also crossed 4000 passing yards and threw 40 touchdowns. Even with a slight regression, he is the best option at QB for fantasy managers.

Career-highs in passing touchdowns, TD/INT ratio, yards per attempt, and passer rating in 2024. Factor in the rushing production, and he's as good as it gets at the position.
