Nov 5, 4:43 PM ET: Lamar Jackson: Out to IR (Thumb, Surgery) (Sleeper injury feed)

Start Joe Fagnano: 90 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Lamar Jackson's 55 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets. No market projection is posted on either of them this week, so this is a usage call, and a lower confidence one than a call made on a projection. What follows is what each of them has done.

Their 2025 seasons

Joe Fagnano is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.

In 2025 Lamar Jackson played 13 games and scored 221.9 PPR points, 17.1 a game, finishing QB20.

He threw for 2549 yards on 302 attempts with 21 touchdowns and 7 interceptions, and ran for 349 yards and 2 touchdowns.

That came to 23.2 attempts a game at 8.4 yards an attempt.

He was on the field for 92 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

Head to head

This season Joe Fagnano holds the bigger snap share, 90 percent against 73 percent.

Their target share this season is the same, 0 percent each.

Byes and availability

Both are off in Week 13, so a roster holding the pair has that one week to cover twice.

Lamar Jackson is listed as ir on the injury report.
