Fantasy Football News

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. ESPN's Adam Schefter said today that Jackson still has a "realistic chance" to play vs. the Falcons on Sunday night. We'll keep a close eye on his status leading up to that one, but fantasy owners should still be making other plans for Week 5.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Ravens QB Lamar Jackson has "only an outside chance to play" against the Falcons in Week 5 because of the ankle he sprained in Baltimore's Week 4 victory.

Ravens HC Jesse Minter admitted Monday that QB Lamar Jackson is uncertain for Sunday night's game vs. the Falcons after spraining an ankle in the Week 4 win over the Titans. "I don't think it's going to be crazy long-term," Minter added. It doesn't sound like Jackson is facing an extended absence, but fantasy owners should get a backup plan in place for Week 5. Jackson's absence would leave Tyler Huntley under center for Baltimore. He owns a career 67% completion rate but just 5.9 yards per attempt. Huntley played 2 full games last year and posted 186-1-0 and 107-1-0 passing lines. He'd clearly be a big downgrade for WR Zay Flowers and the rest of Baltimore's passing game.

Ravens RB Derrick Henry rushed 23 times for 73 yards and a TD in Sunday's win over the Titans. He added 2 catches for 6 yards on 2 targets. It wasn't a particularly notable day for Henry overall, considering that Baltimore entered as the week's largest favorite against a soft defense. But the carry total adds a slight boost to Henry's highest average in years.

Ravens TE Mark Andrews ranked second on the team Sunday with 6 targets and 5 catches. He went for just 27 yards but snagged one of the team's two TD receptions. Andrews faces a potential playing-time issue, though.

Ravens WR Rashod Bateman tallied just 2 catches on his only 2 targets in Sunday's win over the Titans. He did take them for 46 yards but sank to third among Baltimore receivers in playing time.

Ravens WR Zay Flowers got his largest playing-time share so far this season in Sunday's win over the Titans. He stayed on the field for 73% of the snaps and ran a route on 91% of dropbacks. That marked a big rise from Flowers' mere 31.1% playing time through his first two appearances this year -- surrounding a missed week -- and 48.1% route rate. Flowers wound up with 8 catches for 118 yards and a TD among 10 targets, leading the team in each category. The numbers would have been even larger if QB Lamar Jackson hadn't left early with a left-ankle injury.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson is considered "day to day" with the ankle injury he suffered in Sunday's win over the Titans, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Jackson didn't re-enter the game but remained on the sidelines for the second half. It sounds like he dodged a serious injury and at least has a chance to play vs. the Falcons next week.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson did not start the second half of Sunday's game vs. the Titans. He's officially questionable to return with an ankle injury. Jackson is on the sidelines without his helmet, with Baltimore up 24-7. QB Tyler Hunter has replaced him. We'll update Jackson's status when we know more.

Ravens WR Zay Flowers (hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the Titans. He was listed as questionable after going limited, full, limited in practice this week. But ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported this morning that Flowers won’t be on a “hard pitch count” today. Get him in starting lineups.

Ravens WR Zay Flowers (hamstring) is expected to play vs. the Titans today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Flowers went from a limited practice on Wednesday to full participation on Thursday but was limited again on Friday. He's listed as questionable. There's still some added risk here, but Flowers would be nearly impossible to leave out of Week 4 fantasy lineups. He's posted 6-150-1 and 5-84-0 lines in his 2 games this season, despite playing limited snaps in both.

Update: ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports that Flowers won’t be on a “hard pitch count” today. We’re not sure exactly what a soft pitch count looks like, but it at least sounds like Flowers should exceed last week’s 33% snap rate.

The Ravens have ruled Edge Trey Hendrickson out for Sunday's game against the Titans after he had surgery on a broken finger. Hendrickson played through the issue the past two weeks after reportedly breaking it in the opener but clearly decided it was worth getting fixed.

Ravens WR Zay Flowers (hamstring) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Titans. He went from a limited practice on Wednesday to full on Thursday to limited on Friday. It’s unclear if that was a pre-determined plan or if Flowers had a setback. We’ll look for more info on his status and get Baltimore’s inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (back) is not listed on the final Week 4 injury report. He was limited on Wednesday but put in full practices on Thursday and Friday. Jackson remains an elite fantasy play vs. the Titans this weekend.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (back) was upgraded to full participation in Thursday's practice. He'll be ready to go for this weekend's game vs. the Titans and remains an elite fantasy start.

Ravens WR Zay Flowers (hamstring) was upgraded to full participation in Thursday's practice. Flowers was clearly on a pitch count last week, playing just 21 snaps (33%). He still delivered a 5-84-0 receiving line and is now at an absurd 9.4 yards per route on the season. It looks like Flowers is ready for a full-time role vs. the Titans this weekend, making him an elite fantasy play.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (back) was limited in Wednesday's practice. He was allowed to speak with the media before the workout, and HC Jesse Minter said afterward that Jackson is "dealing with something small." It doesn't sound like he's in any danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Titans. We'll let you know if that changes.

Ravens WR Zay Flowers led the team in targets (6), receptions (5), and receiving yards (84) in Sunday’s win over Dallas. He ran a route on only 63.6% of Baltimore’s pass plays after entering the game questionable with a hamstring injury.

Ravens TE Mark Andrews is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Cowboys with a hand injury. Stay tuned for an update.

Update: Andrews returned in the third quarter.

Ravens WR Zay Flowers (hamstring) is active for today’s game against the Cowboys. He only got in a limited practice on Friday and was reportedly a game-time decision for this one. Multiple reports this morning said that Flowers would be limited if he played. He’s a risky fantasy play, but there’s certainly upside against a bad Dallas secondary.
