Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, normally a fantasy football superstar, has struggled in recent weeks, posting fewer than 10 fantasy points in both Weeks 11 and 12. This raises the question: is it time to panic? Let’s break it down.

Week 11 (@ Browns):

4.72 fantasy points, 193 passing yards, 2 interceptions, 4 rushes for 10 yards, and 0 touchdowns.

Week 12 ( vs. Jets):

7.22 fantasy points, 153 passing yards, 0 interceptions, 7 rushes for 11 yards, and 0 touchdowns.

These were Lamar Jackson’s two worst fantasy performances of the season, scoring fewer than 10 points in both games, an alarming trend for his future fantasy value.

Currently the QB17, Lamar Jackson is averaging 18.4 fantasy points per game. He has 130 completions on 195 attempts for 1,595 passing yards, 15 touchdowns, and 3 interceptions.

Why The Struggles

• Week 1: 6 carries, 70 yards, 1 TD

• Week 2: 2 carries, 13 yards

• Week 3: 7 carries, 35 yards

Lamar Jackson has under 15 rushing yards in 3 of 4 games since returning from the hamstring injury.

This is the lowest rushing-yard-per-game average of Lamar Jackson’s career, as he’s currently producing just 29.6 yards per game. Over his eight-year career, he has averaged 57.7 rushing yards per game. His previous career low came during his rookie season in 2018, when he averaged 43.4 yards per game. His best mark came in his sophomore season, when he averaged an elite 80.4 rushing yards per game.

He has also thrown for under 200 yards and just 1 passing touchdown over the last three weeks, along with 2 interceptions. This is a stark contrast to his first three games of the season, when he surpassed 200 passing yards each week, totaled 9 touchdowns, and committed only 2 turnovers.
