Lamar Jackson

Start Lamar Jackson — he’s at home vs Cleveland, a matchup where he usually scores a lot, and his running gives you steady points even if the passing isn’t great. Running quarterbacks take more hits and can throw picks, but most experts view this as the smart play for Week 2.

Start Lamar Jackson — he usually gets points with his running even if the pass game is tough, and he’s expected to throw more this year while facing a likely high-scoring game vs. Buffalo. Buffalo can make passing hard, but his legs cover that risk; just watch for any late injury or weather news.

Draft him early in leagues where you start two quarterbacks; in leagues with one quarterback, take him in the early-to-middle rounds if you want a QB who runs a lot. He gives a solid floor from rushing but might throw for fewer touchdowns than last year and has some injury risk, so don't pay too much if it means passing on a strong running back or wide receiver.

Draft Lamar Jackson in the mid-rounds. He can score big because he runs a lot and passes well when healthy, but if he isn’t fully healed he may be slower and take more hits, which can make some weeks shaky.
