Lamar Jackson Gets Over Steelers Hump

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson had the best game of his career against the Steelers, completing 15 of 23 for 207 yards including three TDs. He also ran for 22 yards on the ground, dominating one of the best defenses in the league.

2024 Fantasy Football Impact

Fantasy managers who trusted Jackson were treated to another likely QB1 performance from him despite his recent history against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Though he will likely lose the league MVP to Josh Allen, Jackson has once again put up an absolute stellar regular season.

Lamar Jackson has paid off his draft position for fantasy managers, even using his arm more than his legs in recent weeks. The Ravens offense appears to be trusting Jackson to throw deep more, and it is showing in the box score.

RB Derrick Henry hasn't scored a TD in three straight weeks, but Jackson has 10 total TDs in that span.

For fantasy managers who survive this week, Jackson could be in-line for another huge game in the fantasy championship going against the Houston Texans on Christmas Day.

The Texans are a neutral match-up for fantasy QBs, but that should be enough for Jackson to smash when he is putting up QB1 performances against much more difficult defenses.
