Headliner Take

There’s nothing I can say about Lamar that you don’t already know. He’s working with an average group of weapons, but his elite rushing ability continues to give him both a high floor and a sky-high ceiling.

He’s locked in as a Tier 1 QB again, and you’ll have to pay up on draft day to land him. If you’ve opened your draft with a stud WR and RB, we’re perfectly fine with taking Lamar in the third round, even though we typically prefer to wait a little longer at quarterback.
