Should You Start or Sit Lamar Jackson in Week 16?
Jackson earned his fourth “A” by way of our QB+ grading system, tying him for the most such games in a season on file (since 2019). I’m running low on superlatives when it comes to the reigning MVP …
- 10 games with 45+ rushing yards
- 5 games with 3+ touchdown passes
- Career-high 68.1% completion percentage
The Steelers have held the Ravens to under 20 points in eight straight games, but sportsbooks are penciling them in for 25. If that comes through, I like Jackson’s chances of giving us top-five QB production.
