QB Lamar Jackson sustained a left ankle injury in Sunday’s win over the Titans and did not return for the second half, finishing with 222 passing yards, 2 TDs, and 20 rushing yards. Jackson left the stadium in a walking boot. HC Jesse Minter offered a cautiously optimistic update post-game, stating, “I don’t think it’s going to be crazy long-term, but we’ll see what happens.” With Jackson sidelined, backup QB Tyler Huntley took over to close out the victory.
If Jackson misses time, Huntley will start. Huntley is 5-4 as a fill-in starter for the Ravens and—like Jackson—possesses the rushing upside to keep the offense afloat. For fantasy football gamers, monitor Jackson’s practice status closely this week, as Huntley emerges as a viable QB streamer, especially for superflex leagues, if PlayerProfiler’s QB 3 in seasonal-redraft is OUT. ~Jason Diaz
