Walder's grades
MVP: Lamar Jackson, QB, Baltimore Ravens
He was a fourth-round pick and only the fourth quarterback off the board on average in ESPN leagues in the preseason, yet he finished the year atop the fantasy leaderboard with 430.38 points -- a single-season record for scoring by a quarterback and the eighth-best total at any position. Jackson scored 20-plus points 14 times, tied with Aaron Rodgers (2011), Christian McCaffrey (2019) and Cooper Kupp (2021) for the most by any player in history. The most-rostered player on ESPN finalists' rosters (38.0% of leagues), Jackson placed on a championship team in 20.8% of leagues, third best overall and tops among QBs. -- Cockcroft
The most electric player in the league with the ball in his hands, Jackson's dual-threat ability was maximized in his second season under Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken. Jackson posted a league-best QBR of 77.4, throwing 30 of his 41 touchdowns from inside the pocket. He was seeing it fast and delivering the ball with both anticipation and location. Plus, Jackson led all quarterbacks with 915 yards rushing, which included 497 yards on designed carries. Big-time stuff from Lamar, who was an easy MVP choice for us. -- Bowen
