Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson moved to 2-0 on Christmas Day games after leading the team to a 31-2 blowout over the Houston Texans. The MVP candidate finished the game with 168 yards and two touchdowns on 10-for-15 throwing while adding four carries for 87 yards and another touchdown. The first score of the second half came on a 48-yard run by Jackson, who outran the entire defense into the end zone. The Ravens were so comfortably in the lead after the third quarter that Jackson was able to get some rest in the fourth. They now control their division destiny and will take on the Cleveland Browns to finish the regular season.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has come out of the team's Week 14 bye with a vengeance after posting big-time performances against the New York Giants and Pittsburgh Steelers. Now, in a short week, he goes up against the Houston Texans who allow 17.4 fantasy points per game (12th most) to opposing quarterbacks. The last time these two times faced off in last year's playoffs, Jackson finished with four total touchdowns, 152 passing yards on 16-for-22 throwing, and 100 yards on the ground. The QB1 on the season remains a set-it-and-forget-it type of play.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson completed 15-of-23 passes for 207 yards and three touchdowns in Saturday's 34-17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. He also threw an interception and rushed nine times for 22 yards. The 27-year-old got one over on Pittsburgh in their rematch after scoring just once in the two teams' first meeting, an 18-16 loss. It was Jackson's sixth outing of the year with three or more TD passes. With his total on Sunday, he's up to 37 passing scores on the year -- a career-high -- opposed to just four interceptions -- two of which have come against the Steelers. The MVP candidate will get another tough matchup in championship week when he squares off against the Houston Texans on the road. Still, he'll be a high-end QB1.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is fresh off of a humongous performance against the New York Giants in Week 15 where he threw five touchdowns. In Week 16, however, the Pittsburgh Steelers present a bigger challenge. The only week that Jackson finished outside QB1 territory this season was against the Steelers in Week 11. He averages one fumble and a bit over one interception (1.1) per game in seven starts against the Steelers to go along with 153.9 passing yards on a 56.97% completion percentage. While this doesn't mean fantasy managers should bench Jackson by any means, expectations shouldn't be as high as the rest of the year.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson posted an impressive five-touchdown performance during their blowout victory over the New York Giants. Jackson went 21-for-25 with 290 yards through the air and added 65 yards on six rushing attempts. Jackson's first score of the game came on a 13-yard strike to tight end Mark Andrews. In the second quarter, he found receiver Rashod Bateman twice, once on a 49-yard score and the other on a 20-yard pass. Then in the second half, Jackson threw his fourth and fifth scores of the game to receiver Devontez Walker and running back Justice Hill, respectively. This was his second time this season scoring at least five touchdowns in a single game. Fantasy managers should continue to view Jackson as a top-three option in all matchups for the remainder of the season. Next weekend, he has a tougher task ahead of him against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Dec 15, 2024 5:03 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is looking for revenge after losing just his second game against the NFC before their bye last week. He draws the New York Giants as his first matchup down the final stretch of the regular season who are in the middle of an eight-game losing streak. They allow 16.7 fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks this year. As a team, they've allowed 20 or more points in all but three games. Jackson has only scored fewer than 20 fantasy points in three games, so fantasy managers should feel confident starting him through their fantasy playoff runs.
Dec 13, 2024 4:43 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson put together a solid enough game to register yet another QB1 finish, but not enough to win the game. He finished with 237 yards and two touchdowns on 23-for-36 throwing while adding eight carries for 79 yards. The tight ends were Jackson's favorite targets in this game as they were the ones to haul in the touchdowns while receiving 15 targets between them. The Ravens head into their bye with an 8-5 record which puts them two games back in the AFC North.
Dec 1, 2024 10:09 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has been able to produce some big fantasy outputs against almost every defense he's gone up against. In fact, he's played the 32nd, 31st, and 27th-ranked defenses in terms of fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks with the Steelers allowing the fewest. The Philadelphia Eagles are ranked 30th while they give up just 14.3 fantasy points per game. Jackson does have history on his side though as he's 23-3 against the NFC dating back to his rookie year, and is 6-1 against the NFC East. The two-time MVP is still a must-start, especially at home, but it could be an uphill battle.

In the 30-23 win over the Los Angeles Chargers in the Harbaugh-bowl, Jackson finished with 177 yards and two scores on 16-for-22 throwing while adding eight carries for 15 yards and another touchdown. The ground game dominated this game, but Jackson capitalized on some fantastic throws to Rashod Bateman and Mark Andrews. He ended up as the QB8 which marks his tenth week in QB1 territory. He'll go up against one of the top defenses in the league in Week 13 as they go home to face the Philadelphia Eagles.

In Week 12, the Ravens go on the road to face the Los Angeles Chargers who allow 16.5 fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks. The Ravens have a 3-3 record on the road this season, but Jackson has thrown 14 touchdowns compared to one interception, and 263.3 yards per game. While the Chargers have a solid defense, Jackson and company should be able to get back on track in primetime.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson continued his struggles against the AFC North-rival Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday in Week 11.

In the close loss, Jackson mustered 207 yards, one touchdown, and one interception on 16-for-33 passing while adding four carries for 46 yards. Jackson and company couldn't find a rhythm from the start, while the Steelers' defensive line made sure he felt their presence. The reigning MVP will look to bounce back in Week 12 against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has picked apart almost every team in the NFL throughout his career. One team, however, has been a constant thorn in his side and it happens to be their biggest rival the Pittsburgh Steelers. In six career games against them, he has a 2-4 record and has accumulated 870 yards, four touchdowns, and seven interceptions on 78-for-132 throwing with 262 yards on 53 carries. While he has struggled mightily against them, he remains a must-start fantasy asset because he's never faced them with as good of an offense as this one. His potential is always through the roof, but he could end up as a low-end QB1 since he has never scored more than 17 fantasy points against the Steelers.
Nov 16, 2024 1:51 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee, rest) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice while being rested due to a minor knee injury. There's really nothing to see here. Jackson will be just fine for a big divisional contest this Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, a team he has struggled against in his career. The 27-year-old is coming off a 290-yard, four-touchdown performance in the one-point win over the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals last Thursday night. Jackson is currently the front-runner for a second straight MVP award and is the QB1 in overall fantasy scoring through 10 weeks. In his last four games, Jackson has thrown 14 touchdowns and no interceptions, and he's had three games with at least four touchdown passes. The matchup isn't great against Pittsburgh, but Jackson needs to be locked into all fantasy lineups in Week 11.
Nov 14, 2024 5:09 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is 1-3 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Ravens' Week 11 opponent, and 17-5 against the other AFC North teams. The Steelers are the only team against which Jackson has thrown more interceptions (seven) than touchdowns (four). Pittsburgh has won seven of its last eight meetings against the Ravens. Despite the poor showings against the division rival, Jackson is leading a Ravens offense that ranks first in total yards (440.2) and points (31.8), making him the front-runner to win the MVP award for the second straight year. He has thrown 22 touchdowns and one interception in his last eight games. The 27-year-old is relying more on his arm than his legs and leads all QBs in fantasy points. However, he could be in for another subpar day (by his standards) this Sunday, as Pittsburgh has allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to opposing QBs in 2024.
Nov 14, 2024 12:09 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson continues his marvelous season as he led the team to a comeback win over their AFC North rivals on Thursday night.

The offense had a slow start to the game but put 28 points in the second half including a 21-point fourth quarter. Jackson completed passes to nine different receivers while delivering touchdown strikes to four of them. He's already tied his passing touchdown mark from last season in six fewer games while he tries to go for even more against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) is off the injury report and expected to start on Thursday evening against the Cincinnati Bengals. Jacksons was sidelined during Tuesday's practice but was able to log a full session on Wednesday. The 27-year-old has enjoyed a fantastic first half to the 2024 campaign as he has averaged an impressive 29.1 PPR points per game and remains a favorite to claim back-to-back NFL MVP honors. Last weekend in their victory over the Denver Broncos, Jackson tossed three scores with 280 passing yards. On Thursday, he should be viewed as a high-end QB1 facing a Cincinnati defense that has allowed the 29th-most PPR points to opposing QBs.
Nov 6, 2024 4:14 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that quarterback Lamar Jackson (back, knee) "will be playing on Thursday night" to kick off Week 10 action against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals. Jackson was not listed on Monday's practice report but did not practice on Tuesday after dealing with back and knee injuries last week. The 27-year-old front-runner for a second straight MVP award had a perfect passer rating in the Week 9 blowout win over the Denver Broncos, going 16-for-19 for 280 yards and three touchdowns on Sunday, so his injuries didn't limit him whatsoever. In the first meeting against Cincy in an overtime win in Week 5, Jackson had a season-high 348 passing yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions while adding 12 carries for 55 yards. Fantasy managers can't be expecting that again, but the dual-threat QB will be a must-start, high-end QB1 this Thursday.
Nov 5, 2024 3:38 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (back, knee) is not practicing on Tuesday leading up to the Thursday Night Football contest against the Cincinnati Bengals. Jackson did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday last week and was listed with back and knee injuries but returned to full practice on Friday before posting a perfect passer rating and three touchdowns in Sunday's win over the Denver Broncos. The team might just be managing Jackson's workload as the season reaches the second half of the year, but fantasy managers should monitor his status and see if he carries an injury designation on Wednesday's final injury report. When active, the two-time MVP is a clear must-start in all matchups.
Nov 5, 2024 2:30 PM EST

In the 41-10 win over the Denver Broncos in Week 9, Jackson posted 280 yards and three touchdowns while going 16-for-19 through the air and adding four yards on three carries. He's considered the front-runner for his third MVP by most outlets and Jackson remains atop the position in fantasy as well. He'll go up against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals again in Week 10 on Thursday Night Football.
Nov 3, 2024 6:19 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee, back) has been removed from the injury report ahead of the Week 9 matchup against the Denver Broncos.

Jackson will officially be ready to go for this weekend for a tough matchup against the Broncos secondary. Despite the tough matchup, Jackson has been playing at an MVP-type level and remains a strong QB1 for this weekend.
