PodcastThe Dominator - Matt Kelley Talks Fantasy Football Regrets, Breakouts & the 202...September 24, 2026

From the episode

Just like at the Pro Bowl, Lamar Jackson couldn't do it. That's not what they do. They're good on the run. They're good at evading pressure.

STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

Jackson struggles with vertical throws; excels in lateral, run-based offensive schemes.

Jackson, like Jalen Hurts, struggled in point-and-shoot target throws at the Pro Bowl, which is not reflective of his actual skill set. Both players excel in laterally-designed offenses where they can evade pressure and make plays on the run, rather than in vertical passing schemes.
