5. Lamar Jackson

Nothing new here. Just as I state every week, Lamar Jackson cannot help himself in this situation. It’s unfortunate, but it’s true. As long as Joe Flacco is helping with winning, or staying close in games, Jackson is going to just continue to be an observer.

Although, Jackson has been getting a tiny bit of playing time, his role has been nothing more than just a decoy on the field for a play or two. Unless an unfortuante injury occurrs to Flacco later on down the line, then this will be Jackson’s role until next season at the earliest. And no playing time, means no way to really evaluate you in your class. So for now once again, Jackson remains at the bottom.
