PPR pts is nflverse's full-PPR total for the game; the smaller line under it is the same game in Half-PPR, then Standard (half a point, and a point, less per catch). "Score this game" opens the fantasy point calculator with that exact line loaded, to re-score it in your league's settings. A dash means nflverse has no figure for that game yet. "Did not play" means his team played but nflverse has no stat line for him, which is usually an injury or an inactive game day; it scores 0.0 and is left out of his per-game averages. The injury designation shows only for the week the latest report covers.

The July 2026 draft-day read
This is the July 2026 pre-draft read, kept as published. Every ADP and market figure on this page comes from the Fantasy Football Calculator snapshot of Jul 15, 2026 and is not updated in-season — 2026 drafts are over and ADP has stopped moving. In-season tools
Lamar Jackson's 16.5 half-PPR points per game in 2025 sit below what a QB3 draft price usually buys — July 2026 drafters were paying for projection, not the previous season's line. His snap share fell -13.9pp across the 2025 season.
Our read, framed from the cited 2025 data below — opinion, not a projection.
The numbers behind the read
| Metric | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| ADP (July 2026) | 55.8 | Fantasy Football Calculator |
| Overall ADP rank (July 2026) | 56 | Fantasy Football Calculator |
| Fantasy points / game | 16.5 | nflverse |
| Points over expected (FPOE) | +5.8 | nflverse |
| Snap share trend, last 3 vs season (2025) | -13.9pp | nflverse |
| Sleeper search rank (July 2026) | 12 | Sleeper |
xFP (expected fantasy points) is what a typical player would score with the same targets, carries and field position. FPOE (points over expected) is actual points minus xFP, per game.
The consensus read
Lamar Jackson was drafted as the QB3 — ADP 55.8 — in July 2026. His 16.5 half-PPR points per game in 2025 clears the QB starter line.
- ADP 55.8

The edge case — what had to be true
Every belief was tied to a checkpoint: the exact data point that would confirm or deny it, with its value at the time of the July 2026 read. Check them against what has actually happened since.
