Should You Start or Sit Lamar Jackson in Week 1?
MVP awards aren’t won or lost in the first week of the season, but the Lamar Jackson fans/bettors certainly have this game circled as one that could have meaning far beyond who opens 2025 with a 1-0 record.
These two powerhouses faced each other twice last season, and the volume stats were … well, they weren’t great for Baltimore’s cornerstone. In those contests, he totaled just 31 completions and 12 rush attempts, but he had multiple passing scores and a 15+ yard run in both games.
And that’s the case for Jackson to be QB1, right?
You drafted him to carry your team weekly, and while this may not be a break-the-slate performance, I don’t think there’s a proper way to slow him for four quarters.
