Gone are former HC John Harbaugh and OC Todd Monken. Maybe these changes will be positive, but Harbaugh championed Jackson early in his career, and Monken helped him become the NFL's most efficient passer over the past three years (9.4 AY/A). There's no guarantee that first-time HC Jesse Minter (a defensive coach by trade) and new OC Declan Doyle (a first-time NFL playcaller) will create an environment that enables Jackson to flourish. On top of that, Jackson has missed 14 games to injury over the past half-decade, and last season he had a career-low 26.8 rushing yards per game.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Premium pricing with coaching uncertainty and declining rushing production.

Lamar Jackson is priced as a premium QB but faces significant uncertainty heading into 2026. Former HC John Harbaugh and OC Todd Monken are gone; Harbaugh championed Jackson early in his career and Monken helped him become the NFL's most efficient passer over the past three years (9.4 AY/A). First-time HC Jesse Minter (defensive coach) and first-time NFL playcaller OC Declan Doyle offer no guarantee of enabling Jackson to flourish. Additionally, Jackson has missed 14 games to injury over the past half-decade and had a career-low 26.8 rushing yards per game last season. At 29 years old, he may be entering the downside of his Ravens tenure. While unlikely to massively underperform if healthy, the premium pricing combined with coaching uncertainty and injury history gives pause.
