Proven QB in his prime — production and runway both hold.
DVS is our model view, scored on Engine-default half-PPR — not a guaranteed price in your league. Bye weeks and schedule strength are left out on purpose.

Player quality
Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.
Durability ×0.98
One recent short season (games missed). Production already saw the missed games — this is forward risk only.
Process ×0.98
Process residual (not a second production percentile).
Org environment ×0.98
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Quick answer
WatchJackson threw for 2,549 yards and 21 TDs in 2025, finishing QB20. Recent form cooled from QB1 to QB20 — watch whether that's noise or a real step down. 2026 still looks like a starter, not a stash. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
