Lamar Jackson Struggles in Browns Win, Reflects on MVP Season and Future Upside
Lamar Jackson completed 14 of 25 passes for 193 yards and two interceptions, adding 10 rushing yards on four carries in Sunday's 23-16 win over the Browns. This performance follows a season where he won his second NFL MVP, staying healthy for the first time in three years. Under new offensive coordinator Todd Monken, Jackson achieved career highs in pass attempts (457), completion percentage (67.2%), and passing yards (3,678), complemented by elite rushing production (821 yards, 5 TDs). Despite a dip in TD passes (24), the addition of Derrick Henry and top targets like Zay Flowers and Mark Andrews suggest potential for increased scoring. Historically, Jackson has shown high efficiency but also faced injury setbacks and a high interception rate in some seasons. His ability to bounce back and remain a top-tier fantasy QB hinges on continued health and the evolving passing game.
