Draft note

by John Paulsen

It’s safe to say that Jackson regressed a bit in his second season as the full-time starter, finishing with fewer passing yards, rushing yards and total touchdowns, along with an uptick in interceptions. He was the No. 1 fantasy quarterback by a wide margin in 2019, but finished No. 10 last year with the No. 8 per game average. The Ravens drafted Rashod Bateman in the first round, signaling that they want to throw the ball more, or at least more effectively. Jackson came off the COVID-19 list (again) in August, so he’ll be treated as vaccinated by the league for the next 90 days. He has not committed to getting the vaccine, so he is a candidate to miss a game in November or December if he’s a close contact or contracts the virus again.

Lamar Jackson (illness) misses practice

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson missed Thursday's practice due to an illness.

Fantasy Impact:

On Wednesday, Lamar complained about a sore hip, but the missed practice was reportedly due to a stomach bug. There were some concerns when he first surfaced as a surprise non-participant in practice, but fantasy managers can rest assured that it is not an injury keeping him out of practice. Providing he can get over the illness by game time, he should be good to go vs. the Lions. Lamar is our second ranked quarterback for Week 3.

BAL QB Lamar Jackson - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Kansas City Chiefs

Lamar Jackson turned in a solid enough outing against the Raiders on Monday night with 235 passing yards and a touchdown to go with 86 yards on the ground. The concerning part was the three fumbles he had – two lost fumbles – which is not something the Ravens can have happen if they’re going to be contenders this year. Still, Jackson’s ability to cushion his fantasy output with consistent rushing production makes him a must-start each week.

This week, Jackson faces a Chiefs defense that ranked 19th in aFPA to opposing quarterbacks and allowed 321 yards to Baker Mayfield last week. Jackson doesn’t actually have a great history against the Chiefs, with just two total touchdowns – one rushing and one passing – against them in two games since 2019. Still, the Chiefs should keep the Ravens throwing the ball and they’ll be looking to rebound after a heartbreaking overtime loss in Week 1. Start Jackson regardless of matchup.
