Fantasy Football: Why WR Ja'Kobi Lane is a sleeper to target
The fantasy outlook for Ravens WR Ja'Kobi Lane.
Rookie wide receiver Ja Kobi Lane is gaining attention in the Baltimore Ravens' training camp, and his fantasy football potential is on the rise. According to USA TODAY Sports Fantasy projections, Lane currently stands at WR80 in standard scoring leagues and WR81 in PPR formats, suggesting he may be available in the later rounds of a draft.
ESPN fantasy analyst Everett Cook noted that Lane has been receiving unexpected comparisons to DeAndre Hopkins and Michael Thomas from coaches and teammates. Former Ravens beat reporter Jamison Hensley shared that he hasn't seen a rookie perform as well as Lane during training camp in 27 years.
Lane has yet to produce significant results with Lamar Jackson, but the rookie is still considered a strong possibility to surpass veteran starter Rashod Bateman. The Ravens are embarking on their first season without head coach John Harbaugh in nearly two decades, now led by offensive coordinator Declan Doyle. With Jackson's contract situation uncertain, fans are speculating about potential changes in the team's lineup.
USA TODAY Sports Fantasy's preseason projections suggest Lane could rack up 35 receptions and 3.64 receiving touchdowns, but his stock is reportedly improving within the Baltimore organization.
