Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (thumb) told teammates this week that he plans on playing again this season, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Jackson's throwing-thumb injury is expected to sideline him "at least" six weeks, per Rapoport, "although it could take up to nine weeks." The short end of that timetable would have Jackson back for Week 15; the long end would keep him out until Week 18. Baltimore's playoff chances might also impact if and when Jackson returns. We'll continue to keep you updated on his progress. He's certainly worth keeping stashed in superflex leagues and potentially deeper 1-QB leagues, but fantasy managers should still not be banking on contributions from Jackson down the stretch.
