Lamar Jackson, second quarterback here in the quarterback one 8 9 5 4 1 and 13 since 2019. He's also missed 15 games over the last 5 years... if everything clicks with Lamar, he runs for 1,000 yards and eight touchdowns while also throwing for 3,500 yards and 35 40 more touchdowns... Lamar has shown us in his two MVP seasons he can drop, you know, between 25 and 28 points per game.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

League-winner upside with 25–28 PPG ceiling in MVP seasons; rushing expected to bounce back.

Tier-one QB despite injury concerns (missed 15 games over last five years) because he's the most likely true league-winner among all QBs; in his two MVP seasons, he scored 25–28 points per game, far above the 21–22 PPG ceiling of most tier-two QBs. The source projects if everything clicks, Lamar runs for 1,000 yards and 8 TDs while throwing for 3,500 yards and 35–40 TDs. Last season's poor performance attributed to mobility limitations from injury; the source expects rushing production to improve this year, making him deserving of tier-one ranking despite underrating from some.
