NFL Rookie QB Power Rankings After Week 8

5. Lamar Jackson

Although Lamar Jackson has sat in the No. 5 spot since the season has started, there was still a bit of a change this week. So, maybe Jackson isn’t starting for the Baltimore Ravens, but at least he’s picking up some garbage time snaps for the first time.

The Carolina Panthers worked the Ravens on Sunday, and they were ready to wave the white flag. The team made a change and threw in Jackson, and what do you know? He threw the first touchdown pass of his young career.

So as of last week, Jackson’s now found the end zone twice. Once on the ground, and once in the air. It was a stellar performance put on by Jackson, and it was definitely a moment for the Ravens to feel good as their rookie completed four of five pass attempts for a touchdown, and rushed for 26 yards.
