Lamar Jackson

Jackson had one of the most remarkable quarterback seasons ever last year. Unprecedented efficiency and a league-high rushing average were easily enough to make him fantasy's No. 1 QB, even if it wasn't enough for MVP voters. With 41 TD passes and four interceptions on 474 attempts, Jackson became the first QB with a TD pass percentage higher than 8.0 and an INT rate lower than 1.0 (min. 350 attempts). His 10.3 TD/INT ratio was third best all-time, and of the 22 times a QB has thrown 40-plus TDs in a season, Jackson had the fewest interceptions of any. His work with his legs was just as impressive. He averaged 6.6 yards per rush, the fourth time he's paced the league, just missing 1,000 yards (915). The superlatives go on and on. YPA? Led the league. Air yards per attempt? Led the league (min. 300 attempts). Deep passing? He was the only QB without an interception on attempts of 20-plus yards (and had 8 TDs, 4th). Derrick Henry was no more costly at the goal line for Jackson (4 rush TD) than Gus Edwards was the year before. Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman were quality downfield weapons, and Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely formed a strong tight-end duo. All are back, giving Jackson a shot to repeat as fantasy's top QB. He's finished Top 5 at the position three times (twice No. 1) in his four seasons with 15 or more starts. If healthy, there are few surer things in fantasy.
