| Pat Fitzmaurice FantasyPros | It's interesting that the average depth of target on Jackson's throws this season is 9.9 yards. His average depth of target in his three previous seasons: 8.7, 8.8., 8.6. Jackson is also averaging 8.7 yards per attempt, nearly a full yard better than his previous high of 7.8 yards per attempt in 2019. So Jackson has been a more aggressive, more effective passer so far this season. Will it last? Two reasons to be pessimistic: (1) Every pass defense the Ravens have faced this season ranks in the bottom half of the league in Football Outsiders' DVOA metric with the exception of their opponents last week, the Chargers, against whom Jackson had his worst passing game of the season; (2) the Ravens just lost ace left tackle Ronnie Stanley to a season-ending ankle injury, and it's bound to affect the overall functionality of the offense. Jackson faces another respectable pass defense this week, the Bengals, who ranked eighth in DVOA. Maybe Jackson will simply use his legs more. In six career starts against the Bengals, he's averaging 73.7 rushing yards. Jackson is the QB3 this week, and despite the Stanley injury, he's worth the $7,400 price tag on DraftKings. | |
| Kyle Yates FantasyPros | Brady is currently on pace for 757 pass attempts this season at 44 years old. While our common sense would tell us that there's no way a QB that age could sustain solid production with that much volume, all logic goes out the window with what Brady is doing this season. Brady currently leads the NFL in passing yards and he has the second-most passing touchdowns with 17 to just three interceptions. It's absolutely incredible what he's doing on the field right now and there's no reason to believe that it won't continue moving forward. The Bears are the 11th most difficult matchup in the NFL for opposing QBs from a fantasy perspective this season, but that doesn't quite matter when we're considering Brady for our starting lineups. He belongs in the mid-range/low-end QB1 conversation every single week. | |
| Derek Lofland FantasyPros | The Bengals are 5th against fantasy quarterbacks this year, but Jackson is a matchup proof QB1. | The Bears are 8th against fantasy quarterbacks, but Brady is at home coming off the mini TNF bye and he is averaging 25.88 fantasy points per game. Brady is an elite QB1 this week. |
