Quarterbacks
Lamar Jackson $7,300
If you’re looking for a QB who not only has a safe floor but also has the ability to be the slate’s top scorer at the position, look no further than Lamar Jackson in Week 1 against the Jets. On paper, this sets up a great matchup for Jackson against a Jets defense that ranked dead last in overall defensive DVOA and pass defense DVOA. Historically, Jackson has crushed in Week 1, averaging a 74% completion rate, 278 yards, 3 TD & 46 rushing yards in Week 1 contests. And if you want to take a walk down narrative street. This dude is motivated to prove he’s worth being paid like a top 5 QB amidst contract negotiations. Giddy. Up.
