PFF predicts Lamar Jackson will increase passing yardage by 27%, yet throw fewer touchdowns in 17-game season

PFF recently projected Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson to air it out more in 2021. They even hint at a second MVP-caliber season from the signal caller.

But in their projections, they place Jackson’s total touchdowns at 29, which would be his lowest since becoming the starter in 2019. In the projection, they put Jackson’s passing touchdown total at 21, with eight rushing

It is rather strange to project Jackson to throw for 1,000 more yards than last season, yet five fewer touchdowns. Especially when considering the Ravens overhaul of the wide receiver unit with two rookies and veteran Sammy Watkins, and this season having 17 games.
