PositiveBustAug 22, 2026
The source is avoiding Lamar Jackson in 12-team home leagues due to high opportunity cost, suggesting he is only a viable target if he falls to the seventh or eighth round.NegativeValueAug 11, 2026
The source is avoiding Lamar Jackson in drafts because his current cost is not justified by the projected volume and the minimal point differential compared to lower-tier quarterbacks.PositiveProjectionAug 6, 2026
Ranked 51st; had the worst fantasy football season of his career last year and got his coach fired; new coach and offensive coordinator in place; speaker is buying on Lamar Jackson.PositiveValueJul 13, 2026
Jackson is selected as the quarterback in the zero RB build to create a structural advantage at the position, with the goal of dominating the QB position.NegativeValueJul 1, 2026
Lamar Jackson went at 5.9 (second pick in the fifth round), which the analyst believes doesn't make sense from a draft strategy perspective, as elite quarterbacks shouldn't be prioritized early when there are 17-18 good fantasy football quarterbacks available.PositiveProjectionJun 29, 2026
Lamar Jackson is a true dual threat exception where if he falls to a legitimate value price, one elite rusher can carry your fantasy team; his 2024 season (25 PPG) and 2019 season (27 PPG) are very hard to pass up on.NegativeValueJun 29, 2026
Taking Lamar Jackson early in drafts creates significant opportunity cost by skipping starters at other positions, with the analyst noting situations where he was available in the sixth round.PositiveProjectionJun 29, 2026
Lamar Jackson is mentioned as an elite quarterback option that can be a winning pick, though the strategy emphasizes the quarterback window (QB 9-18) as the optimal draft range.PositiveValueMay 29, 2026
Fifth-round ADP represents strong value despite last year's injury-plagued season; when fully healthy, projects as QB1 with 25 fantasy points per game (vs. QB3 with 20 PPG in recent years); resolved interpersonal conflict with old coaching staff positions him for an all-time year; the source calls him a clear target at current price, though would reconsider if ADP rises significantly.PositiveValueNo date
AJ Brown expected Lamar Jackson to fall in home league drafts and planned to stack him with a wide receiver, indicating confidence in his value at a later draft position. Brown noted that in his home leagues, elite quarterbacks consistently fall—Dak Prescott to round 10, Patrick Mahomes to round 10, Joe Burrow to round 7, and Jalen Hurts to round 8-11—which influenced his strategy to prioritize wide receiver early. One of Brown's league mates secured Lamar Jackson at quarterback as part of a 'super team' constructed by selling all picks from the prior year, further indicating strong quarterback value.PositiveValueNo date
Lamar Jackson is being undervalued at pick 55 ADP despite posting 25 PPG in 2024 (his best season, beating Josh Allen's career high of 21.5 PPG). Mattek is actively targeting him due to opportunity cost and believes the 2025 decline to 16.5 PPG was an anomaly caused by Ravens coaching turmoil and the Harbaugh conflict, with Lamar emerging as the winner of that battle and poised to rebound.
