Lamar Jackson To Throw 30 Passes A Game
5 years agoBaltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson led all quarterbacks in rushing attempts in 2018 and it wasn't even close. Jackson rushed 147 times in his debut season; the runner up was Deshaun Watson who had 97 rushing attempts. "Probably throwing, probably 30 passes a game," Jackson told Mad Dog Sports Radio on Monday. "Running, I probably won't have as many attempts as last year. We have a great backfield and we're just going to take what the defense gives us and take advantage of it and just go from there." Jackson didn't attempt 30 passes once last season. If he does dial back on the running this year, it boosts the fantasy value of Baltimore's surrounding offense. In no way is Jackson considered to be the NFL's best passer, but he has the wheels to move the ball down the field if he needs to. He's currently being drafted in the 9th round, but if he really does air the ball out he provides high QB1 upside.
