Lamar Jackson's 2026 fantasy football outlook is a topic of discussion ahead of the upcoming season. After a strong performance in 2024 with 25.3 points per game, Jackson's 2025 season saw a decline to just 16.5 points per game due to injuries. While he has returning targets like Zay Flowers and Derrick Henry, and new wide receivers from the 2026 NFL Draft, questions remain about his ability to regain form.
