Fantasy Impact:
With the Ravens having already clinched home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs, it makes no sense for them to play their second-year superstar. Jackson finishes 2019 as the no-doubt fantasy football MVP, racking up 3,127 passing yards and 36 touchdowns while adding an incredible 1,206 rushing yards and seven scores. He'll go into 2020 with even more fantasy hype than Patrick Mahomes did this season.
