Lamar Jackson 2023 Outlook: Passing Ceiling To Finally Be Unlocked?
2 years agoBaltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has been nothing short of a fantasy football superstar since becoming the starter, but his passing ceiling has been limited and his injury woes continue to pile up. However, the Ravens moved on from offensive coordinator Greg Roman and hired former University of Georgia OC Todd Monken with hopes of transforming the offense into a more pass-happy attack. The team added Odell Beckham Jr. and Zay Flowers this offseason and will get Rashod Bateman (foot) back to go along with one of the best tight ends in the NFL in Mark Andrews. All that said, this should be Jackson's best group of weapons of his career. His career-high 3,127 single-season passing yards is far below the average full-time starter in the NFL, so he'll look to inch closer to the 4,000-yard mark in 2023. His rushing upside could be reduced with fewer designed runs, but he'll continue to be one of the elite scramblers in the league. Ultimately, his passing efficiency and touchdown-upside could make up for slightly less rushing attempts, so he remains a sure-fire QB1 in fantasy football with top-five upside at the position.
