Lamar Jackson Expected to Play in Week 6
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) is expected to return in Week 6 against the Cleveland Browns, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Rapoport pointed out that some of Jackson's injuries in years past have sidelined him for extended periods of time, but this latest ailment is expected to be different. All signs point to Jackson missing just Week 5 before returning next Sunday. Rapoport noted that "he has been in the early, working crazy to get himself back on the field." Managers love to hear that update, as Jackson has high-end QB1 potential when healthy, so losing him for any amount of time can be costly. So far this year, he ranks as the QB9 in total fantasy scoring with 967 passing yards, 144 rushing yards, seven total touchdowns, and two turnovers. Tyler Huntley will start in his absence for Week 5.

Lamar Jackson Could Miss Week 6 As Well
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) has been ruled out for the Week 5 tilt on the road in Atlanta against the Falcons on Sunday Night Football, and the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that the Ravens do not know if Jackson will be ready to play in Week 6 against the division-rival Cleveland Browns. Jackson suffered a unique ankle sprain in the Week 4 win over the Tennessee Titans and did not practice all week before being ruled out for this Sunday's game in Atlanta. The Ravens are not going to rush one of the best all-around dual-threat quarterbacks in the league, so his ankle injury could end up sidelining him for multiple weeks. Fantasy managers need to prepare for that possibility. In the meantime, backup Tyler Huntley will make his first start of 2026 in a road matchup in primetime against the Falcons. Expect head coach Jesse Minter to lean heavily on veteran battering-ram running back Derrick Henry. Through four weeks in 2026, Jackson is the QB10 in fantasy scoring with 967 passing yards, six touchdowns, and an interception, while adding 144 rushing yards and one score with his legs.

Lamar Jackson Ruled Out for Week 5
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) has been ruled out of the team's Week 5 matchup with the Falcons, according to head coach Jesse Minter and The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec. Jackson exited the team's Week 4 win over the Titans after just one half but still finished as the QB11 for the week. The two-time MVP struggled through injuries in 2025 and will now miss the first game of his ninth season. Veteran quarterback Tyler Huntley, who completed eight of nine passes for 63 yards after coming on in relief, will draw his first start since a high-scoring Week 17 win over the Packers in 2025. Huntley has proven capable of leading the Ravens in the past, but the fantasy ceilings of stars Zay Flowers and Derrick Henry are undoubtedly lowered with him under center.

RapSheet: Lamar Jackson Not Looking Great for Week 5
Baltimore Ravens star quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) is not looking great for their Week 5 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Jackson suffered an ankle sprain late in the first half of Week 4's win over the Tennessee Titans and couldn't return. He hasn't practiced on Wednesday or Thursday, and Rapoport says, "It's not looking great for his status for Sunday night." In four games this season, Jackson has completed 68 of 96 passes for 967 yards, with six touchdowns and one interception, and has added 144 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries. Friday's practice will be key to determining Jackson's status against Atlanta, but if he is unable to play in Week 5, Tyler Huntley will take over as the starter.

Lamar Jackson Not Practicing Thursday
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) played only the first half of the team's Week 4 win over the Titans, exiting early with an ankle injury, and for the second consecutive day he was not seen at practice. Jackson still finished as the QB11 on the week despite sitting out the second half, and he's been one of the safest starters of the year despite spending significant time without top wide receiver Zay Flowers. Unfortunately, Jackson's own injury history has become an inescapable piece of his own fantasy profile, having missed five games in 2025 and looking like a shell of himself for large swaths of the year. With his second missed practice of the week, Jackson is trending toward his first absence of 2026, and even upon his return, fantasy managers will have to hope that his signature mobility is not sapped by the ankle injury.

Lamar Jackson Dealing with a "Rare" Ankle Sprain
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) isn't dealing with a high-ankle sprain or a low-ankle sprain, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport; instead, he's dealing with a "non-traditional" ankle sprain, which is what makes it tricky to put an exact timeline on his return. Jackson did not practice at all on Wednesday, but if he's able to practice on Thursday, there is still a chance he will play in Week 5 against the Falcons in Atlanta on Sunday Night Football. If Jackson isn't able to practice on Thursday, it will likely be Tyler Huntley who gets the start in that contest after completing eight of his nine pass attempts for 63 yards and adding 16 rushing yards on four carries in the second half against the Titans last week. Keep a close eye on Thursday's practice report as you plan your strategy for Sunday regarding any of the Ravens' offense.

Lamar Jackson Not Practicing on Wednesday
There was no sign of Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) at the period of practice open to the media on Wednesday, according to Jamison Hensley of ESPN. Tyler Huntley and Joe Fagnanon were the two QBs warming up before the start of practice. Although Jackson has a chance to suit up in Week 5 against the Atlanta Falcons, the expectation is that he will miss at least one week after spraining his ankle in Sunday's victory over the Tennessee Titans. Fantasy managers should already be making plans to be without the All-Pro QB this weekend, and his ankle injury could limit his rushing ability for the rest of the season, which would obviously lower the dual threat's fantasy ceiling. Through the first four weeks of the 2026 season, Jackson is the QB9 in fantasy football with 967 passing yards, six touchdowns, and one interception. He has added 144 rushing yards and one score on the ground on 19 rushing attempts. If Huntley makes his first start of the year under center for Baltimore this weekend, he will merely be a low-end QB2 streaming option in superflex fantasy leagues against Atlanta.

Lamar Jackson Has Outside Chance to Play in Week 5
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) has only an outside chance to play Sunday night against the Atlanta Falcons. Ian Rapoport reported that Jackson is dealing with a sprained ankle and could miss multiple games depending on how his rehab progresses. The injury is considered unusual, with Rapoport describing it as neither a traditional high nor low ankle sprain. Jackson left Sunday's 24-18 win over Tennessee after the first half and did not return, finishing 15 of 20 for 222 yards and two touchdowns. Tyler Huntley completed eight of nine passes for 63 yards in relief and would start if Jackson cannot go. Baltimore has not ruled Jackson out, but fantasy managers should be preparing another option with his Week 5 availability looking increasingly doubtful.

Lamar Jackson Could Miss Multiple Games with Ankle Injury
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) is "unlikely" to play in his team's Week 5 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons and could end up missing multiple games, per ESPN's Ian Rapoport. Jackson suffered a sprained ankle right before halftime of Baltimore's Week 4 win over the Tennessee Titans, which kept him from playing in the second half and now appears likely to lead to additional missed time. It's a tough blow for Jackson, who has recorded 967 passing yards and six touchdowns to go along with 144 rushing yards and a score across three-plus games in 2026. With Jackson sidelined, experienced backup quarterback Tyler Huntley will take over under center for Baltimore. Huntley appeared in five games (two starts) for the Ravens in 2025, throwing for 426 yards and two touchdowns. For as long as Jackson is unable to play, fantasy managers should likely downgrade expectations for Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers and running back Derrick Henry.

Lamar Jackson Questionable at Best for Week 5
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) is uncertain to play against the Falcons in Week 5, and he is "sounding questionable at best," according to Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network. Jackson sustained a sprained ankle injury on the final play of the first half against the Titans last week and was replaced by Tyler Huntley for the second half. Before departing, Jackson looked sharp, completing 15 of 20 passes for 222 passing yards and two touchdowns. According to another report by NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Jackson could end up missing multiple games based on how rehab goes, but at this point, the injury is not considered long-term or surgical. If Jackson misses time, Huntley would be worth considering in two-QB leagues after he completed 8-of-9 pass attempts for 63 yards and added 16 rushing yards in the second half against the Titans.

Lamar Jackson's Week 5 Status Remains Uncertain
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) remains up in the air for Sunday night's game against the Atlanta Falcons. Head coach Jesse Minter told Jamison Hensley on Monday that he doesn't know Jackson's chances of playing yet, though he added that he doesn't expect the injury to be "crazy long-term." Jackson left Sunday's 24-18 win over Tennessee late in the second quarter and did not return. He had been sharp before the injury, completing 15 of 20 passes for 222 yards and two touchdowns. Through four games, Jackson has thrown for 967 yards, six touchdowns, and one interception while adding 144 rushing yards and another score. Tyler Huntley finished the game in his place and would be the next option if Jackson can't go. For now, fantasy managers will need to watch how much work Jackson is able to do once Baltimore returns to practice.

Lamar Jackson Scheduled to Undergo MRI
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) is scheduled for an MRI on Monday to assess the severity of his ankle injury. Jackson was tackled awkwardly at the end of the first half and couldn't return in the 24-18 win over the Tennessee Titans. Head coach Jesse Minter said, "Hopefully, it's in a good spot," and added that the team discussed Jackson returning in the second half. In four games this season, Jackson has completed 68 of 96 passes for 967 yards, six touchdowns, and one interception, while adding 144 yards and a touchdown on the ground. The Ravens head on the road in Week 5 to take on the Atlanta Falcons, where it's currently unclear whether Jackson will be able to play on Sunday Night. Fantasy managers in Superflex leagues should consider adding backup Tyler Huntley in case Jackson misses time.

Lamar Jackson "Week-to-Week," Pending MRI
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) is believed to be considered "week-to week" with an ankle injury, according to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk. This follows reports from elsewhere that Jackson was previously considered to be "day-to-day." Baltimore head coach Jesse Minter also seemed to express optimism about Jackson's status moving forward, and said that the team considered putting him back in on Sunday. However, Jackson was seen wearing a walking boot after the game. Florio notes that Jackson will have an MRI to reveal the exact extent of the injury. Jackson exited Baltimore's 24-18 win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 4 in the second half due to the ankle issue. He did not play in the second half of the game, and Tyler Huntley stepped in at quarterback. If Jackson misses any time, Huntley will assume the starting quarterback role.

Before leaving, Jackson completed 16-of-21 passing attempts for 230 yards with two touchdowns and zero interceptions. He also rushed the ball twice for an additional 20 yards. Fantasy managers will need to monitor Jackson's progress throughout the week ahead of next week's matchup in Atlanta.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) is believed to be day-to-day after leaving Sunday's 24-18 win over the Tennessee Titans, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The injury will be monitored and treated throughout the coming week. Jackson did not return after halftime, with Tyler Huntley taking over for Baltimore in the second half.

Lamar Jackson Questionable to Return With Ankle Injury
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's Week 4 game against the Tennessee Titans, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Jackson suffered the injury late in the first half and did not return to the field when Baltimore opened the third quarter, with Tyler Huntley taking over at quarterback. Jackson had completed 15 of 20 passes for 222 yards and two touchdowns before exiting. He entered Sunday without an injury designation after dealing with a minor back issue earlier in the week, so the ankle is a new concern.

Lamar Jackson Riding High into Week 4 Against the Tennessee Titans
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (back) looks to carry the momentum from the team's thrilling 34-31 win over the Dallas Cowboys in Brazil into Week 4 at home against the Tennessee Titans. The veteran quarterback did pop up on the injury report with a limited practice on Wednesday. Still, he logged two full practices to finish the week and heads into the weekend without an injury designation. In Rio de Janeiro, Lamar was efficient, completing 15 of 20 passes for 186 yards and two passing touchdowns, logging a 136.7 passer rating, which led all quarterbacks in Week 3. Fantasy managers were also pleased with Jackson's season-high 50 rushing yards, 33 of which were off two designed rushing attempts, also a season-high. According to Next Gen Stats, Jackson has scrambled to run on 12% of his dropbacks this season, the fourth-highest rate among qualified quarterbacks, accounting for 89 scramble rush yards, the fifth-highest in the league. Interestingly, the Titans' pass defense has allowed quarterbacks to scramble and run on 7.3% of dropbacks this season, the sixth-highest rate after three weeks, which should enable the elusive play caller to continue his success on the ground. This scramble ability may become even more necessary with the Ravens' depleted offensive line, but the Titans are allowing the NFL's longest quarterback time to throw (3.12 seconds), a bottom-third quarterback pressure rate of 33.3%, and second-lowest pressure rate against play action (17.4%) thus far. Lamar's favorite target, wide receiver Zay Flowers (hamstring), should be back to a full workload if he is active, which is likely to boost the two-time MVP's ability to generate more fantasy points through the air. Lamar Jackson remains a locked-in QB1 starter for fantasy managers across all league formats.

Lamar Jackson Off the Injury Report, Will Play in Week 4
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (back) is off the injury report and good to go for his team's Week 4 matchup against the Tennessee Titans, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Jackson popped up on the Ravens' injury report as a limited practice participant on Wednesday due to a back issue. However, the 29-year-old practiced in full on both Thursday and Friday and will be on the field for Baltimore on Sunday. Across the first three weeks of the 2026 season, Jackson has completed 69.7% of his pass attempts for 745 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception while also rushing for 124 yards and a touchdown on 17 attempts. Now that he's officially active, Jackson profiles as a high-end QB1 option for fantasy managers against Tennessee in Week 4.

Lamar Jackson Expected to Play Sunday
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (back) is expected to play Sunday against Tennessee, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

He has completed 53 of 76 passes for 745 yards, four touchdowns and one interception through three games while adding 124 yards and a touchdown on the ground. Baltimore has not given Jackson a final game designation yet, but the expectation is that he will be under center against the Titans.
