Ravens vs. Browns Fantasy Quarterback Preview
Lamar Jackson
Jackson has missed the last half of the season with an ankle injury.
Early reports this week suggest he is pushing to return.
We will follow him throughout the week but will initially prepare for him to play in Week 6.
If Jackson is ready to play, he moves back into the front-end QB1 field.
Jackson has been hyper-efficient this season, completing 70.8% of his passes (2nd) for a league-high 10.1 yards per pass attempt, a league-high 14.2 yards per completion, and a 6.3% touchdown rate (7th).
Jackson averages 0.53 passing points per dropback, second only to Brock Purdy (0.61).
With Zay Flowers on the field, Jackson is at 0.63 passing points per dropback.
Jackson has already seen a 27% rate of man coverage (6th highest), so this Cleveland defense that is playing man coverage on a league-high 44.4% of snaps should not come as a shock.
Jackson has been a bit mortal against man coverage, completing 58.3% of his passes (12th) for 8.5 Y/A (4th) with only a 4.2% touchdown rate (25th) compared to a league-best 76.5% completion rate, league-high 11.1 Y/A, and a 5.9% touchdown rate (2nd) against zone coverages.
If Jackson is going to beat you, you might as well be the aggressor and let him carve up zone coverages.
Cleveland doesn't need incentive to play aggressively, but with Jackson coming off an ankle injury, they may want to test his mobility.
Jackson has a 13.3% scramble rate against man coverage (2nd in the league).
If he has no restrictions, that is another plus for his rushing upside.
You can also open yourself up for big plays playing the way Cleveland does.
The Browns have allowed a 59.4% completion rate (4th), but they allow 11.5 yards per completed pass (23rd) and a 5.7% touchdown rate (25th).
This will be the Browns' best test since the opener.
Deshaun Watson
After flirting with back-end QB1 output in Weeks 2 and 3, Watson has been the QB21 (12.9 points) and QB22 (12.2 points) the past two weeks.
Sunday was not all on Watson, as the rain contributed to Cleveland dropping 4 passes.
Watson did take a season-high 8 sacks, however.
He had only taken 2 sacks in each of the previous three games.
Watson was credited with 27.8% of his own pressures (8th in Week 5), including 3 sacks.
Cleveland had been doing a great job forcing Watson to get rid of the ball quickly and near the line of scrimmage, which was a setback.
When Watson holds the ball for longer than 2.5 seconds from the snap, he has an 18.6% sack rate, 29th in the league.
Even with Sunday factored in, Watson has thrown 29% of his passes 10 or more yards downfield, ahead of only Bo Nix (28.1%) and Geno Smith (24.4%).
When Watson has thrown the ball 10 or more yards downfield, he has completed 42.5% (17 of 40) of those throws, 27th in the league.
Keeping Watson as a QB2, the Ravens are good against the quick passing game, allowing 6.1 Y/A on throws within 2.5 seconds of the snap (13th).
Overall, the Ravens have allowed a 2.9% touchdown rate (5th), 6.9 Y/A (14th), and 10.6 yards per completion (13th).
