Lamar Jackson

Start Lamar Jackson — he’s been running and scoring a lot lately and draws a Detroit defense that gives up big games to quarterbacks. Just double-check the official game time and injury reports, but he should be in your lineup.

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.
