Ravens QB Lamar Jackson didn't do anything spectacular in his return vs. the Dolphins on Thursday night. But by the end of the contest, he'd racked up four passing scores. He found TE Mark Andrews in the back of the end zone on a fourth-and-goal in the first quarter and hit Andrews for another score from 20 yards out in the second quarter. Jackson tossed two more TDs -- to TE Charlie Kolar and WR Rashod Bateman -- in the third quarter to put the Ravens up 28 to 6. He threw just one pass in the fourth quarter with Baltimore nursing the big lead. The Ravens needed only 56 plays and 23 pass attempts in this one. Jackson ran five times for 14 yards.

This was a perfect matchup for Jackson to knock the rust off after missing Baltimore's previous three games. The Dolphins defense offered little resistance, but Jackson was also on point with his accuracy most of the night.
Most importantly, he looked as elusive as ever in the pocket and didn't suffer a setback with that hamstring injury.
Jackson finds neutral matchups in terms of adjusted fantasy points allowed to QBs the next three weeks against the Vikings, Browns, and Jets. That's followed by a trio of plus draws against the Bengals, Steelers, and Bengals again. Overall, Jackson gets the second-easiest QB schedule from Week 10 through 17.
A healthy Jackson is as good a bet as any QB to lead the position in fantasy points the rest of the way.
