Lamar Jackson to be Even Better in 2025?

Thursday, July 17, 7:17 PM

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson finished the 2024 season with career-highs in passing yards (4,172), completions (316) and touchdown passes (41) while throwing only four interceptions on 474 attempts. He added 915 yards on the ground and passed Michael Vick for all-time rushing yards by a QB. Jackson is scary good as a passer and a runner, which is why he'll be one of the first QBs taken in fantasy drafts in the early rounds. BaltimoreRavens.com's Clifton Brown writes that Jackson is set up for even more success in 2025 going into his third season with Todd Monken running the offense. Baltimore became the first team in NFL history with 40 passing TDs and 20 rushing TDs in the same year in 2024. They were also the first team to throw for at least 4,000 yards and rush for at least 3,000. There's the potential for Jackson to take his game to yet another level.

Bo Nix News

Drew Brees Mentored Bo Nix this Offseason

Wednesday, July 23, 3:25 PM

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix spent time learning from future Hall of Fame quarterback Drew Brees this offseason, according to head coach Sean Payton. Brees spent 15 seasons with Payton during their time with the New Orleans Saints, leading the NFL in passing seven times, collecting five All-Pro honors, and winning Super Bowl XLIV. Needless to say, Brees could be a valuable mentor for Nix, who is heading into his second NFL season after a fantastic first year in Denver by way of the University of Oregon. Nix started in all 17 of the Broncos' games last year, passing for 3,775 yards, 29 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. He led the organization to its first playoff appearance since Peyton Manning led the team to a Super Bowl 50 victory. Nix has plenty of fantasy football upside thanks to his rushing skill set, and becoming a more polished passer could put him on track to be a consistent fantasy football QB1.
