Quarterback
Lamar Jackson (TRUST): Jackson is coming off one of his better games as a pro against a team that has given him fits in his early career. After two early interceptions and chasing double-digit points in the second half, Jackson still threw for 9.2 yards per pass attempt and added 107 rushing yards and two touchdowns.
This week he gets a Lions defense that has been gauged just as much as a year ago. The Lions are allowing a league-worst 0.89 passing points per attempt, 75.7% completion rate (29th), and 10.8 yards per pass attempt (32nd) to open the year. Indoors against a bad defense, lock Lamar in.
