Success in best-ball lies in finding balance. Sure, consistency is important, just as it is in season-long formats. But since fantasy managers get the best possible starting lineup possible every week, it’s even more critical to target upside. Players capable of posting “spike weeks.”

And at the quarterback position, you’d be hard-pressed to find a quarterback more capable of spike weeks than Lamar Jackson of the Baltimore Ravens. The reason why is simple—rushing yards.

It’s no secret that running quarterbacks are more valuable in fantasy. It takes fewer rushing yards than passing yards to earn a point. And touchdowns on the ground are usually worth more than those through the air.

“The key to a QB1 season for Jackson will likely be his passing touchdown total, much like his previous season as the QB1 when he finished with 36 passing touchdowns,” he said. “He threw for only 24 last year even though he set career highs in completions, attempts, completion percentage, yards, and yards per attempt. Jackson has the full trust of the Ravens coaching staff and is being given more responsibility at the line of scrimmage this year, so we could see this offense hit another gear.”

There’s no question that Jackson is a top-five fantasy option at his position in all formats. And many best-ball managers like to draft multiple mid-range signal-callers in the hope that at least one will have a good game in any given week.

But if you want to go the high-end route, an argument can be made that in best-ball, Jackson’s potential to post a gaudy line buoyed by big rushing numbers makes him more valuable than any other quarterback in the league.
