Outlook Lamar Jackson
Motivation Meets a Fresh Offense for a High-Upside Bounce-Back Season
Focus on his fit in new OC Declan Doyle's offense, which Lamar has called a "breath of fresh air." He remains the undisputed leader under center, supported by a backfield that includes Derrick Henry to keep defenses honest. We project him to bounce back from a quieter 2025, forecasting 3,565 passing yards and 28 touchdowns alongside his signature rushing floor.
In 1.0 PPR formats, fantasy managers are evaluating Lamar's draft cost, which has remained stubbornly stable in the early fourth round with an ADP of 40. While he briefly spiked earlier in the summer, his current price represents an incredible value opportunity. Our projections view him as a potential league-winner at this draft-day cost, especially given his motivated state under the new coaching staff.
While a new offensive system presents some transition risk, Lamar's elite dual-threat profile offers a remarkably safe weekly floor. If he recaptures his MVP-caliber efficiency, he easily possesses overall number-one quarterback upside. He is a premier target for managers looking to secure an elite, high-floor signal-caller without paying a premium round-two price tag.

Outlook Justin Fields
High-Value Handcuff with Premier Rushing Upside If Called Upon
Justin Fields enters the season in a new environment, operating as the primary backup to Patrick Mahomes on the depth chart. While head coach Andy Reid has praised Fields as a legitimate starting talent, his fantasy path is blocked barring an injury to Mahomes. Our models project a highly limited regular role, with Fields expected to compile just 306 passing yards and 73 rushing yards unless thrust into action.
This reality is reflected in shifting market sentiment. In 1.0 PPR formats, Fields's ADP has plummeted from the mid-300s in early May down to past pick 500 in mid-June. Fantasy managers have recognized that despite his past rushing exploits, he remains a stash-only option.
At this depressed draft price, Fields is a zero-cost lottery ticket. He represents one of the league's premier handcuff quarterbacks, capable of immediate top-12 production under Reid if Mahomes misses time.
