(CBS Boston) -- A quarterback who can get out of the pocket and make plays with his legs can wreak havoc on opposing defenses. He also offers fantasy football owners an additional scoring option. That's part of why Lamar Jackson, not to mention Kyler Murray, Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes, are such fantasy scoring machines.
