Lamar Jackson – Baltimore Ravens

It has been an up and down year for Jackson from a fantasy perspective but, after missing the Week 12 defeat to the Pittsburgh Steelers due to COVID-19, he produced the kind of performance we are used to seeing from the league MVP against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 13 and followed that up with a memorable effort in the Ravens’ Monday Night Football thriller with the Browns.

Having had to leave the game because of cramping, Jackson returned late in the fourth quarter to deliver a touchdown pass to Marquise Brown on fourth down to put the Ravens ahead. After the Browns responded to tie the game at 42-42, Jackson authored a game-winning drive that Justin Tucker finished off with a 55-yard field goal.

It was a remarkable end to perhaps the game of the season, one which saw Jackson finish with 163 yards passing, including his scoring throw to Brown, along with 124 yards and two touchdowns on the ground.

His stellar display resulted in Jackson earning 34.9 fantasy points. In PPR scoring, only Derrick Henry (36.2) had more in Week 14.

With the Jacksonville Jaguars visiting the Ravens in Week 15, Jackson is a must-start with the potential to carry fantasy teams to the championship game by himself.
