Mike Tagliere FantasyPros | Here's a crazy stat on Jackson that I thought was interesting. He didn't throw for more than 238 yards after Week 3. It just goes to show that he doesn't need to do much through the air to produce elite numbers. He tagged the Browns for 485 yards and six passing touchdowns last year and chipped in another 169 yards on the ground. That's all irrelevant in 2020, though, as the Browns defense is now under Joe Woods. He was the defensive coordinator in Denver for both the 2017 and 2018 seasons, then went to San Francisco for the 2019 season to be the defensive backs coach. We don't have a large sample size to draw from, as his time in Denver was a bit up-and-down, but what most don't understand is that this Browns defense has a lot of talent. One thing that I want to mention about Woods' defense is that his defenses in Denver ranked No. 1 against mobile quarterbacks in 2018 and No. 5 against them in 2019. They allowed fewer than 130 rushing yards to quarterbacks in each season. Still, learning a new offense and defense with virtually no offseason while your opponent has everyone returning is a problem. Jackson is a problem. When we have a quarterback who scored 19.8 or more fantasy points in 14-of-15 games last year, he's an elite every-week starter when on the field. The Browns defense might be improved, but I think it takes some time to develop chemistry. As always, Jackson is in play for both cash and tournaments. | |
Zachary Hanshew FantasyPros | The Browns were only middle-of-the-road against QBs last season, and that figures to be the case again in 2020. Fresh off an MVP and an overall QB1 finish, Jackson will look to keep momentum on his side with a favorable home matchup with the Browns. In two meetings last season, L-Jax threw for 485 yards, 6 TDs and 2 INTs with 169 rushing yards. He's one of the best plays at his position for Week 1. | |
Jacob Wayne Lineups | Lamar Jackson scored 24+ fantasy points in each of his two games against the Browns last season and he's a solid bet to do the same in Week 1. Cleveland allowed the 11th-most fantasy points to QBs last year, and while their defense should be somewhat improved, Jackson is an impossible force to handle. Jackson's rushing production allowed him to finish as a top-6 fantasy QB 73.3% of the time last season and I would be shocked to see him finish outside of that range in Week 1. | |
Steven Pintado The Fantasy Coaches | Must Start | |
Isaiah Sirois FantasyPros | The Ravens lost two regular-season games last year: one to the Chiefs, and one to the Browns. Jackson still put up 24.5 points in the defeat, however, and he should be able to post a similar performance here. The Browns look like a much better team this year, especially as they added safety Ronnie Harrison a few days ago, but I'm not confident in their ability to slow down the Ravens' dual-threat attack. | |
Derek Lofland FantasyPros | Jackson had 485 yards passing, 169 yards rushing, and six passing touchdowns in 2 games against the Browns last year. He should be an elite QB1 play at home against the Browns. |
