Joe Burrow vs Lamar Jackson
Lamar Jackson holds a 22.4% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 9/19/2026
THE CASE FOR BURROW
Burrow is essentially the same age as Lamar (29.7), so this is a bet on profile and situation, not a youth edge. His 30-day trend is down (-242), creating a buy window if managers are spooked by recent sentiment. Cincinnati’s offense remains built around high-volume passing with elite weapons, giving Burrow a stable weekly floor when healthy. If you want a pocket passer tied to an aggressive passing identity, he’s the discounted option at SF Value 6,587 (Rank #16).
THE CASE FOR JACKSON
Lamar is the same age (29.6) but carries a higher SF Value (7,367) and better market rank (#10) because rushing is a cheat code in Superflex. His 30-day trend is up (+166), signaling increasing demand and fewer discounts available. Baltimore’s scheme is tailored to his strengths, and his rushing production can cover for weekly passing volatility with spike-week ceilings. The market is pricing in that difference: a 10.6% value gap in Lamar’s favor.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
Prefer Lamar Jackson for contenders because his rushing-driven ceiling and week-winning upside are worth the 10.6% premium.
Prefer Lamar Jackson in a rebuild since the age is a wash and his superior dynasty value/liquidity makes him the cleaner cornerstone asset.
If the deal is close, take Lamar unless you’re getting meaningful added value (at least a strong 2nd/early 3rd equivalent) on top of Burrow.
