Ravens WR Ja'Kobi Lane fractured his wrist in the Week 1 win over the Colts, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports. Lane is scheduled for additional testing on Monday, so we should get a timeline for his return soon. But the rookie figures to land on short-term IR and miss at least 4 games. He can be dropped from redraft rosters. The Ravens were down to WRs Rashod Bateman, Chris Moore, and LaJohntay Wester after Lane and Zay Flowers left Sunday's game. Those 3 combined for just 3 catches, including a goose egg from Bateman. Assuming Flowers' injury doesn't cost him any more time, none of these other Ravens WRs are trustworthy fantasy starters.

Update: Lane had surgery on his fractured wrist and has been placed on IR, knocking him out for the next 4 games.

Ravens WR Ja'Kobi Lane suffered a wrist injury in Sunday's opener vs. the Colts and won't return. The rookie caught 1 of 3 targets for 11 yards before exiting. We'll update his status when we know more.

The Baltimore Ravens selected USC WR Ja’Kobi Lane with the 80th overall pick in Round 3 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Lane logged just 76 snaps as a true freshman. He then broke out in 2024, ranking fifth nationally in TD catches (12). Lane punctuated that season with a 7-127-3 eruption in the Las Vegas Bowl. A shoulder injury disrupted his 2025, but the efficiency remained. Lane posted a career-best 4.8 yards after catch per reception and averaged 2.42 yards per route. He plays to his 6'4 size, using his frame to box out defenders and consistently win 50-50 balls. On the negative side, concentration drops pop up on tape. His top-end speed is also average, while USC’s offense didn’t demand a full route tree.
