Jackson's struggles last year came entirely in clear passing situations (pass probability >75%), where his -.20 EPA/DB fell in the same range as Tua Tagovailoa, Geno Smith and Jacoby Brissett. The Ravens should improve in these spots this year by becoming more unpredictable on early downs, but his weakness in obvious passing situations remains a concern.PositiveProjectionJul 21, 2026
Jackson led the NFL in EPA per dropback on play-action passes when pre-snap pass probability was under 75 percent with 0.46 EPA/DB and 13.7 YPA; also had the best YPA (14.6) on play-action passes when pre-snap pass probability was below 50 percent. With new OC Doyle expected to increase Baltimore's play-action rate from 13.6% (25th in 2025) toward the Bears' 19.4% (2nd), Jackson's efficiency in these favorable coverage situations should translate to more volume and upside.PositiveRoleJul 21, 2026
Lamar Jackson is positioned as one of the primary beneficiaries of Baltimore's new offensive scheme under OC Declan Doyle. Jackson praised Doyle using the term 'mind-blowing' to describe his new coach, indicating strong rapport. The source notes that the Ravens will place a 'huge burden on the stars -- QB Lamar Jackson, RB Derrick Henry, WR Zay Flowers,' and that the new scheme will feature increased play-action passes (Baltimore ranked 25th at 13.6% last year versus Chicago's 19.4% under Doyle), which should benefit Jackson's efficiency.PositiveProjectionJul 6, 2026
Responsible for two of the position's top-6 all-time best seasons in fantasy points per game (2019, 2024). Jackson is projected for 119 rush attempts in 2026, making him one of the league's most run-heavy quarterbacks. Among QBs posting elite 20+ fantasy points per game over the last decade, half of the top-20 overall scores featured QBs with 100+ rush attempts, and 51% averaged 4.5+ rush attempts per game.
