Lamar Jackson is the Baltimore Ravens number 8 quarterback, a seasoned 8-year pro, and finished the 2025 regular season as a solid mid-range fantasy option at his position. He averaged 17.1 fantasy points per game across 13 appearances, which ranks him 16th among quarterbacks in our 2026 draft board. That per-game number is the starting point for every start or sit decision you make with him in 2026.
On the production side, Lamar Jackson finished 2025 with 2,549 passing yards and 21 touchdowns. He added 349 rushing yards and 2 rushing scores, which is the kind of dual-threat production that separates fantasy-viable quarterbacks from streamers.
Lamar Jackson lives and dies with passing volume, so his week-to-week fantasy performance tracks game script closely. In shootouts he hits ceiling games. In ground-and-pound matchups his fantasy output gets capped. Streamers love this profile because the volatility cuts both ways, but set-and-forget managers tend to prefer steadier options.
Heading into 2026, Lamar Jackson projects as a core piece of the Baltimore Ravens offense. Managers drafting him need to plan around his Week 14 bye and monitor training camp reports for role changes. DraftCall's AI comparison engine lets you pit him against any other NFL player in seconds, factoring in matchup quality, recent form, and scoring format, so you can make start or sit calls with real reasoning instead of gut feel.
