Lamar Jackson Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (illness) is INACTIVE for today’s game vs. the Bears. QB Tyler Huntley gets his 1st career start. Huntley went undrafted out of Utah last year and has attempted just 16 NFL passes. He completed a solid 67.2% of his college passes with 46 TDs to 20 INTs. Huntley also ran for 1,146 yards and 16 scores at Utah and is a 95th percentile athlete for his position. There’s rushing upside here, but Huntley is a clear downgrade for Baltimore’s passing game.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson is dealing with a "significant sickness," NFL Network's Stacey Dales reports. "Truly a 50-50 chance he plays," Dales adds.

QB Tyler Huntley will start if Jackson can't.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport expects Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (back) to play vs. the Broncos on Sunday. Jackson has missed the first 2 practices of the week, but it sounds like that's been mostly precautionary. "Nothing much to worry about," Rapoport said. "Nothing alarming. I would expect Lamar Jackson back at practice [Friday] ... no one I've talked to is alarmed at all." We'll see what Jackson does in practice today and how he's listed on the final injury report.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (back) missed practice again on Thursday. The team is calling it "back soreness," according to The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec, who does expect Jackson to play vs. Denver this weekend.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson did not practice on Wednesday and is on the injury report with a back.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson is listed as questionable for this weekend's game against the Lions with a non-COVID illness. He put in a full practice on Friday and should be fine for Sunday. Just check back that morning to make sure he's active.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson was activated from the COVID list on Friday. He tested positive for the virus in late July and had to spend 10 days on the COVID list as an unvaccinated player. Jackson still has over a month to get ready for the season opener. But the fact that he's unvaccinated does add some risk to his 2021 fantasy profile.

Let's just let ESPN's Adam Schefter explain why the Ravens will practice Wednesday without their starting QB: "Lamar Jackson is not practicing today in a COVID-related case the league still is trying to process, per Jamison Hensley and me. Jackson, who tested positive on Thanksgiving, had another test that NFL officials flagged. NFL now going through science, and Ravens awaiting answers." We'll see where this situation goes. It's impossible to tell at the moment whether this is something that will only cost Jackson a day or 2 -- or an issue we should be concerned about. Jackson, of course, had the positive test last November that cost him a game. But we hadn't heard of any related issues since. For now, we're not adjusting Jackson's fantasy outlook.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson is expected to be activated from the COVID list and start Tuesday's game against the Cowboys, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Jackson carries elevated risk in Week 13 fantasy lineups coming off the illness -- but the matchup is sweet vs. Dallas' 22nd-ranked QB defense.

The forecast for today's Ravens-Bills game calls for 15-20 mph winds with gusts of 30+. QBs Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen both do a lot of their fantasy damage on the ground, so neither guy is significantly hurt by the weather. We would slightly downgrade WRs John Brown and Marquise Brown with deep passes likely to be impacted.
