Ian Hartitz ranks Lamar Jackson QB2 despite 2024 decline due to week 4 hamstring and late-season lower back injuries. Hartitz quantifies the injury impact using NextGen Stats ball carrier speed: weeks 1-4 averaged over 15 mph per touch versus post-injury under 12 mph, explaining the performance drop. Hartitz emphasizes Lamar is responsible for two of the six greatest fantasy QB seasons ever and remains one of few QBs capable of 4,000+ passing yards and ~800 rushing yards. New OC Dicklin Doyle may help. Hartitz cautious on dynasty given age 32-33 outlook but maintains QB2 status for 2025.
