INSIGHT

Lamar's Slump May Be Overstated

  • Lamar Jackson's recent struggles look worse than they may be due to called-back plays and injuries.
  • Andrew Erickson and Pat Fitzmaurice still lean toward starting him versus Pittsburgh because of matchup and rest.
ADVICE

Be Cautious With Justin Herbert

  • Avoid overcommitting to Justin Herbert this week given his hand fracture and tough matchup.
  • Ride consensus (ECR) and consider benching him versus the Eagles if you have safer QB options.
ADVICE

Don't Stream Daniel Jones

  • Don't chase Daniel Jones as a streamer this week because of his injury and limited rushing upside.
  • Expect conservative play-calling that reduces his fantasy ceiling against Jacksonville.
