From the article

Jackson was the highlighted player in my 2026 Freedman's Fades article. He's now 29 years old. As a runner, he might be slowing down (last year he had a career-low 26.8 rushing yards per game). With his slight frame (6-foot-2, 205 pounds), he might be more susceptible to injury, and the fact that he has missed 4+ games in three of the past five seasons doesn't suggest otherwise.

Jackson fading due to age, declining rushing yards, injury history, and system uncertainty.

Lamar Jackson is highlighted as a fade in Freedman's 2026 Fades article. At 29 years old, Jackson's rushing ability—his true superpower—may be slowing down; he had a career-low 26.8 rushing yards per game last year. With his slight frame (6-foot-2, 205 pounds), he may be more susceptible to injury, and he has missed 4+ games in three of the past five seasons. The Ravens' new offensive coordinator Declan Doyle (30 years old, never called plays before) and new head coach Jesse Minter (never been an HC before) add uncertainty to the system.
