Expected to be drafted in round three or middle of round three as drafts progress into late August, reflecting rising ADP for top-tier quarterback options.NegativeProjectionNo date
Lamar Jackson was a bust in 2025 despite scoring more than 33 fantasy points in four of his first five games. The decline was driven by lower body injuries that stopped him from running effectively; he averaged just 4.2 yards per carry in the second half of the season, which is very low for Lamar Jackson. He is now QB2 at 42nd overall ADP, the latest QB2 would be drafted on average in seven years.NegativeValueNo date
Dan notes that Lamar Jackson is available around pick six and can score massive points, but advocates waiting on quarterback to build depth at running back and receiver first, then constructing a competitive quarterback duo via late-round pairing strategy rather than investing early capital in a single elite quarterback.PositiveProjectionNo date
Jamie Eisenberg believes Lamar Jackson has the most upside at the quarterback position this season, though he would take Josh Allen ahead of him. Eisenberg notes Jackson scored 33+ fantasy points in four of his first five games last season (in six-point passing TD leagues), including one game after missing a month with lower body injuries. While Eisenberg won't project Jackson to average 30 points per game—calling that "an insane season"—he views Jackson's ceiling as the highest among all quarterbacks.PositiveProjectionNo date
Lamar Jackson has two seasons of super incredible elite production and could average 30 fantasy points per game, making him an outlier at the quarterback position; Jamie Eisenberg argues he is the best pick on the board from a positional scoring advantage perspective and justifies taking him early over wide receivers like Mike Evans or Devante Adams.NegativeValueNo date
Jamie Eisenberg passed on Lamar Jackson in favor of Breece Hall, suggesting he views early quarterback selection as poor value relative to running back options at that draft stage.NegativeInjuryNo date
Lamar Jackson was tearing it up before his injury but the injury still happened, making him one of the four obvious busts among the first five quarterback picks last year despite strong pre-injury performance.
