Matthew Freedman argues Jackson should be faded in 2026 due to uncertainty around first-time head coach Jesse Minter (a defensive coach) and new offensive coordinator Declan Doyle (first-time NFL playcaller) creating an environment for Jackson to flourish. Additionally, Jackson has missed 14 games to injury over the past half-decade, and last season posted a career-low 26.8 rushing yards per game. At 29 years old, Freedman suggests the two-time MVP might be entering the downside of his Ravens tenure.

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. Now at 29 years old, the two-time MVP might be entering the downside of his Ravens tenure.
