The source ranks Lamar Jackson third overall in superflex dynasty, but he fell to pick 12 (end of round one) in a live startup draft while Malik Nabers went at pick 211—a gap the source views as a significant overcorrection. At not yet 30 years old, Lamar played at an elite level in weeks one and two last season before his week three injury, and he has never failed to produce an MVP-caliber first season under a new play caller, which is his situation again this year. The source identifies a real gap between what Lamar is likely to produce this season and what the startup market is pricing him at, representing a buying opportunity for managers willing to bet against recency bias from last year's injury-shortened season.
