From the episode

Lamar had 80 yards per game in 2019. It was 26 last year. So, again, the year before, last year it was 51 or 2024, I should say. If it's more that, all right, that's 25 to 30 yards every game we have to figure out how we can find.

Lamar's rushing decline makes his reliance on explosive passing plays critical.

Lamar Jackson's rushing production has declined significantly, dropping from 80 yards per game in 2019 to 26 yards per game last year, with a shift away from designed runs toward scrambles. Nate Tice notes that while Jackson remains a top-tier fantasy quarterback, his fantasy ceiling depends on whether he returns to being a high-volume rusher or if the offense adapts to utilize him more as a pocket passer in a chunk-play heavy scheme.
