Fantasy Football Outlook: The Jackson extension saga has been going on over the past year. However, it became messy earlier this offseason when the superstar quarterback made public his trade request. Yet, the two sides remained in contact and ultimately got a deal done.
After the Philadelphia Eagles signed Jalen Hurts to his massive extension, the Ravens reportedly upped their offer to Jackson. Raven fans and fantasy football players couldn’t be happier with the news. As for in your dynasty fantasy football leagues, hopefully, you held on to him. This gives Jackson some high-end fantasy football upside for years to come.
Jackson has struggled with injuries the past two years, missing 10 games. However, he has been a star since taking over as the starter in 2019, averaging 22.7 fantasy points per game. Furthermore, Jackson has thrown 95 touchdowns and rushed for another 19 over the past four years in the NFL.
Baltimore added Odell Beckham Jr. in free agency. Furthermore, the Ravens reportedly could acquire DeAndre Hopkins during the 2023 NFL Draft. Hopefully, the team can get their hands on the Arizona star receiver. Pairing Beckham and Hopkins with Mark Andrews would give Jackson an elite receiving core.
