Lamar Jackson is ranked No. 69 in the NFL's Top 100 Players for 2026, marking a significant 67-spot decline. This fall follows concerns about his durability, as he missed games in 2025 and has dealt with injuries over the past few seasons. Despite this, Jackson remains an elite quarterback, having achieved his first 4,000-yard passing season in 2024 and leading the NFL in yards per completion last season. His performance in the upcoming season will be crucial for the Baltimore Ravens, especially with new offensive coordinator Declan Doyle at the helm. Jackson's lower ranking may serve as motivation in his contract year.
