The Late-Round Fantasy Football Podcast on Lamar Jackson

Podcast1130: 10 Trends for Week 3September 23, 2026

From the episode

Something that's keeping me from ranking Lamar Jackson higher in my overall rest of season rankings right now is how he's been deployed as a rusher to start the year. After 2 games, Jackson has 1 designed run... He may need to scramble more this year if he's going to maintain his cheat code ability.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalUsage

Jackson's reduced designed runs are a concern for his fantasy ceiling.

Jackson's fantasy value is threatened by a decrease in designed runs (only one in two games) due to the Ravens playing more from under center. He may need to scramble more to maintain his 'cheat code' status.
