Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson put up his worst game of the season against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11. Despite the down week, Jackson put up around 15 fantasy points depending on league settings, and it was only his second week finishing as a QB2. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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. In the 35-34 win, Jackson registered 290 yards and four touchdowns while throwing 25-for-33 and adding 33 yards on seven carries. 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.

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.

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
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is now tied for the most games with a perfect passer rating (four) in NFL history. The only other QB with four is AFC North rival Ben Roethlisberger. 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.

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 missed back-to-back practices to open the week due to minor knee and back issues. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried as it seemed like his absence was more for rest purposes. 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.
Nov 1, 2024 6:18 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (back/knee) was seen at Friday's practice according to Jamison Hensley of ESPN. This is a great sign for the 27-year-old who has yet to practice this week due to back and knee injuries. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to Friday's injury report as the superstar quarterback may carry an injury designation in the weekend if he is unable to log a full practice. Jackson has been one of the most productive fantasy QBs once again this season as he has averaged a stellar 29.4 PPR points per game with 19 total scores through eight weeks. If Jackson is unable to play on Sunday, Josh Johnson would get the starting nod against the Denver Broncos.
Nov 1, 2024 12:30 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (back/knee) is not practicing on Thursday and did not practice on Wednesday due to knee and back injuries. It's too early to suggest he is at real risk of missing the Week 9 game against the Denver Broncos, but this is a concerning development. Jackson missed 10 total games between the 2021 and 2022 seasons, so the team is likely to be extra cautious with its two-time MVP. Either way, his status should be closely monitored on Friday. If Jackson plays, he's a must-start option in all matchups. If he's out, veteran Josh Johnson will get the start and will be a Superflex-league consideration in starting lineups. The Baltimore wideouts and tight ends will be heavily downgraded in the rankings if Jackson is absent against a strong Denver Broncos defense.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (back/knee) was a DNP in practice on Wednesday due to back and knee injuries. Wednesday is often a rest day for veterans so Jackson's lack of participation is not concerning at this point. Providing further confidence in Jackson's ability to bounce back is the fact that he played so well in Week 8 against the Cleveland Browns while showing no sign of a significant injury. Jackson threw for 289 yards and two touchdowns and added 46 yards on the ground. He posted a QBR of 80.3. Jackson has had an MVP-caliber season in 2024. He has thrown for 2,099 yards and 17 touchdowns with only two interceptions. He has added 501 rushing yards and two touchdowns. His QBR of 74.9 is the second-highest of his career. Fantasy managers who have been relying on that kind of production should monitor the Ravens' practice report on Thursday and Friday to ensure that Jackson logs some level of activity. As long as he retakes the field before the weekend, then his DNP on Wednesday should be a null point.
Oct 30, 2024 6:25 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (undisclosed) is not on the practice field during Wednesday's practice session that is open to the media. The two-time NFL MVP finished the Week 8 game against the Cleveland Browns, so it's unclear what is causing his absence. However, the team's official Wednesday injury report that comes out later in the afternoon will bring clarity. Assuming Jackson is good to go for the Week 9 matchup with the Denver Broncos, he will once again have overall QB1 upside in fantasy football. The Broncos have allowed the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game to quarterbacks, but Jackson has proven to have a nuclear fantasy ceiling in any matchup. Jackson is the QB1 so far in 2024, averaging 25.5 fantasy points per game behind 2,099 passing yards, 501 rushing yards, and 19 total touchdowns. Josh Johnson would start for Baltimore if Jackson cannot go.
Oct 30, 2024 3:19 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson posted his most inefficient throwing day but is able to put together a QB1-level fantasy performance. He registered 289 yards and two touchdowns while throwing 23-for-38 and added 46 yards on eight carries. Jackson led the offense down the field to get a late-game lead when Derrick Henry punched in a two-yard score, but was unable to make up for their defense's mistakes in a final game-winning drive. The Ravens' third-down offense couldn't convert for most of the game either. That said, the two-time MVP still posted a high-quality fantasy day. They'll return home for a Week 9 matchup against the Denver Broncos.
Oct 27, 2024 9:07 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is considered the front-runner for his third MVP so far through seven weeks. He'll lead the high-powered Ravens offense into Cleveland to take on the Browns in their second AFC North matchup of the year. Jackson currently sits at QB1 and has the fifth-most passing yards, second-most passing touchdowns, and the second-most yards per attempt amongst starting quarterbacks. While the Browns are a tougher matchup against opposing QBs, Jackson will look to take advantage of a tired defensive unit while their offense lacks firepower. In his career, Jackson has a 7-4 record against the Browns with 1,813 passing yards and 20 total touchdowns. He remains a must-start.
Oct 25, 2024 5:15 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has now won the QB1 versus QB2 duel two weeks in a row after leading the team to a 41-31 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In this shootout, Jackson finished with 281 yards and five touchdowns while throwing 17-for-22 and adding 52 yards on nine carries. The two-time MVP picked apart Tampa Bay's defense with a variety of short, medium, and deep passes all for touchdowns. Jackson and company will travel to Cleveland for another AFC North matchup in Week 8 looking for their sixth consecutive win.
Oct 22, 2024 7:55 AM EST
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson won the battle of the top two fantasy QBs in Week 6, so now he shifts his sights to the new QB2 in Baker Mayfield. Jackson still sits atop the QB ladder in fantasy football while the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have given up the second-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. Over the Buccaneers' last three games, the total score between both teams has been 78, 66, and 49. With the Ravens' defense giving up big passing games, this game should turn into a shootout quickly. That means Jackson could have a huge game on the way in Week 7.
Oct 19, 2024 9:14 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson may not have lit up the fantasy scoreboard like he did the past few weeks, but he moved the offense enough for a 30-23 win over the Washington Commanders. The two-time MVP finished the game with 323 yards, one touchdown, and one interception on 20-for-26 throwing while adding 40 yards on the ground with 11 carries. This game marks his second 300-passing-yard game in a row and his fourth in a row with a passer rating of 114 or higher. Jackson and the Ravens will get an extra day of rest as they take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night in Week 7.
