Lamar Jackson Fantasy Overview

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson is "likely" out for the season with the right thumb injury he suffered in the Week 8 loss to the Bills, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Jackson is slated for surgery on that thumb, and we should get confirmation on a timeline for return then. We'll keep you updated on the situation, but Jackson is droppable from redraft rosters on this week's waiver run.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson will need surgery on his right thumb and head to injured reserve, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. That will knock Jackson out for at least the next four games. We'll see if he'll miss more time beyond that. Baltimore also lost QB Tyler Huntley to a toe injury in Buffalo, leaving his status uncertain going forward. Undrafted rookie QB Joe Fagnano could be under center for the foreseeable future. He threw for 91 yards, 0 TDs, and 1 INT on 10-of-21 passing against the Bills today.

Update: HC Jesse Minter said “we’ll see” when asked if Jackson's injury is season-ending, so it seems like he could miss more than just four games.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson suffered an apparent right hand injury on his very first throw of Sunday's game vs. the Bills. He headed straight back to the locker room with trainers. We'll update Jackson's status when we learn more.

Update: Jackson has been ruled out.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (ankle) will start this weekend's game vs. the Bills, HC Jesse Minter announced Friday. Jackson was a full participant in practice all week. He and the team have seemingly been conservative coming back from this injury, so we're expecting him to at least be close to 100%. There's still a bit more risk here than usual, but Jackson has big fantasy upside in a likely shootout against Buffalo's 29th-ranked QB defense.
