Rest-of-Season Outlook and Availability
Outlook
The gap is almost entirely health and a shrinking ground role rather than lost talent. A cascade of injuries gutted his trademark mobility and clouded his usage down the stretch. Still, drafters are treating the down year as noise, slotting him as a top-two quarterback in the early rounds. Behind him on the depth chart: Tyler Huntley. Full outlook

Lamar Jackson Rest-of-Season Outlook
Dual-threat QB1 every week
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished QB20 last season at 17.1 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 3 games he's QB10 at 20.4 PPR points per game, against 17.1 over 13 games last season (QB20). He's running ahead of last season's pace.
Last season he ranked 37th of 41 in passing volume (23.2 attempts per game), 18th of 41 in efficiency (0.067 EPA per play) and 8th of 41 in rushing (26.8 rush yards per game). His points come from his rushing. Passing volume is the soft spot. Mark Andrews and Rashod Bateman are his top two targets.
The job is secure: he's the listed starter and one of the best at his position. The main risk is health, and Tyler Huntley is next on the depth chart if he misses time.
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 16, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Our advanced metrics tell two stories. In 2024 Jackson ranked sixth among quarterbacks with a monstrous 430.4 fantasy points across 17 games, posting a 0.284 EPA per play, 51.3% success rate, 41 passing touchdowns to four picks, and 915 rushing yards. Last season was a different animal: limited to 13 games, he slid to QB23 with just 214.9 points, 21 touchdowns, and his efficiency collapsed to a 0.067 EPA per play and 45.9% success rate, while rushing output cratered.
The gap is almost entirely health and a shrinking ground role rather than lost talent. A cascade of injuries gutted his trademark mobility and clouded his usage down the stretch. Still, drafters are treating the down year as noise, slotting him as a top-two quarterback in the early rounds. If his legs return, the dual-threat ceiling that produced an elite 2024 makes him a league-winning value.

Lamar Jackson Fantasy Outlook FAQ
What is Lamar Jackson's fantasy outlook for the rest of the 2026 season?
Lamar Jackson projects as a dual-threat QB1 every week for the rest of the 2026 season: a weekly starter in superflex and 2QB, 12-team 1QB and 10-team 1QB leagues. His rushing (26.8 rush yards per game, 8th of 41 QBs in 2025) supports that. His passing volume (23.2 attempts per game, 37th of 41 QBs in 2025) holds him back. See his live rank in Redraft Command.
What is Lamar Jackson's rest-of-season fantasy ranking?
Lamar Jackson is the QB10 in PPR points per game through Week 4. That puts him in QB1 territory, a weekly starter in 12-team 1QB leagues.
What is Lamar Jackson's projected role going forward?
Lamar Jackson is the listed starting QB, with Tyler Huntley next on the depth chart. Nothing on the chart threatens the job, so the role is his to lose on performance.
Will Lamar Jackson get more pass attempts?
Lamar Jackson's pass attempts are holding steady: 25.5 a game over his last two games against 25.3 for the season. Game script drives much of that, and trailing teams throw more.
What is Lamar Jackson's fantasy football upside?
Lamar Jackson's upside: his ceiling this season is 25.0 PPR points (Week 1, QB7) and his rushing (26.8 rush yards per game, 8th of 41 QBs in 2025) gives him a weekly floor to build on.
What could hurt Lamar Jackson's fantasy value?
Lamar Jackson's risks: Tyler Huntley is next on the depth chart if he is benched or hurt, his passing volume (23.2 attempts per game, 37th of 41 QBs in 2025) limits his scoring and the Titans in Week 4 is a tough matchup. See his injury status and history.
How difficult is Lamar Jackson's remaining fantasy schedule?
Difficult: of his next seven games, 1 comes against a top-10 matchup for QBs and 2 against one of the stingiest defenses, by PPR points allowed to the position.

If Jackson Misses Time
Next man up: Tyler Huntley
Tyler Huntley is next on the Ravens depth chart at quarterback. In superflex leagues he's worth a speculative bench spot for Jackson managers; in 1QB leagues he's a waiver add only if Jackson misses time.
