Winner No. 6: Lamar Jackson

Lamar Jackson is being thrown to the trash heap by many fantasy analysts when it comes to his passing ability. Granted, he was not good throwing the ball last year. His accuracy needs to improve, as does his pocket awareness and overall knowledge of the offense. However, Jackson is not just an athletic running quarterback who cannot throw the ball. He was drafted in the first round in part due to his strong arm.

One could also make the argument that he had no one to throw to last year, and the Ravens addressed that in the draft. They took Marquise Brown in the first round, a dynamic playmaker who is a great route runner and is very fast.

Then they took Miles Boykin, a big and athletic receiver who should play on the other side, in the third round. Add them to the two young tight ends the Ravens took last year, and Jackson has plenty of talented pass catchers to throw to. The Ravens also grabbed an offensive lineman and a speedy running back (Justice Hill) in the fourth round, both pieces that should only help Jackson succeed.
