Lamar Jackson Has His Rushing Upside Back in Play
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson spent most of last season fighting through something. A hamstring injury cost him three games, then knee, ankle and toe issues followed before a back contusion knocked him out again late in the year. The rushing numbers took the biggest hit. Jackson finished with only 349 yards and two touchdowns on 67 carries after running for 915 yards the year before. This summer has looked a lot different. Baltimore's own camp coverage has described Jackson as fully healthy and moving extremely well, while Kyle Hamilton even said it looked like he had gotten faster. The passing work has been sharp at times, too. Jackson started an August 13 practice 11-for-12 and hit Rashod Bateman for 40 yards down the sideline. He's also adjusting quickly to more snaps from under center in Declan Doyle's new offense. RotoBaller still has Jackson at QB2, so nobody is getting a discount here. What has changed is the confidence in his legs. If Jackson gets anywhere close to his normal rushing workload again, the overall QB1 ceiling is very much back in play.
