Lamar Jackson Looking To Take Less Hits
6 years agoIn an interview Wednesday, Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg expressed concerns about his rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson taking too many hits in the pocket. Jackson has rushed for a total of 72 yards this preseason, but has not shown too well in the pocket despite the Ravens offensive line finally being back at full strength. It is not a secret that Jackson's dynamic rushing ability is what part of what attracted the Ravens to him, but the team seems content with developing Jackson's skill-set such that he takes less hits and develops more of a pocket presence. While this news is positive for Joe Flacco's fantasy outlook in 2018, fantasy owners could be waiting on Jackson a bit longer than originally expected. Jackson is still a fine dynasty league stash, but should be downgraded in redraft leagues.
