Jackson's injury-plagued 2025 masks elite pre-injury pace; healthy rebound with soft schedule and new pass-catchers supp
Jackson's redraft stock has plummeted after career-low rushing numbers, but the source identifies massive bounce-back appeal at an all-time discount. He battled hamstring, toe, ankle and back injuries throughout 2025, missing four contests and playing through pain for others. Before the initial Week 4 injury, Jackson averaged 27.6 FPPG and was on pace for 30 passing scores; even in a down effort, he averaged 18.1 FPPG in games he finished. Entering 2026 fully healthy with the NFL's fifth-easiest strength of schedule, Jackson's aerial appeal skyrockets with the addition of a rookie pass-catching quartet: wideouts Ja'Kobi Lane and Elijah Sarratt, alongside tight ends Matthew Hibner and Josh Cuevas. New offensive coordinator Declan Doyle's aggressive, big-play philosophy meshes with this influx of young talent. A conservative projection of just 120 rushing attempts still easily clears his path back to a top-five fantasy finish. Given the two-round gap between Josh Allen and Jackson, the Ravens QB is a strong value at his current ADP of right around 35.
