Lamar Jackson Remains on Track to Potentially Return this Season

Saturday, November 14, 4:18 AM

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (thumb) has a chance to return later this season after undergoing surgery on his thumb last week, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Jackson has been given a 6-10 week recovery timeline. If the star quarterback makes it back on the shorter end of that timeline, a Week 15 or Week 16 return could be in play. If it takes Jackson the full 10 weeks, he would likely remain out through the end of the fantasy playoffs. Jackson remained highly productive when healthy this season, throwing for 967 yards and six touchdowns and rushing for 144 yards and a touchdown while playing just three full games. Fantasy managers may want to consider stashing him in a bench or an IR spot, but there's definitely a risk that he does not return in time to impact fantasy leagues. With Jackson sidelined, veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett will take over under center for Baltimore.

C.J. Stroud A Fringe QB1 in Week 10

Saturday, November 14, 4:19 AM

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud had an impressive week last week as one of the top producers in all of fantasy football. He completed 21 of 35 pass attempts for 384 passing yards and five passing touchdowns. He also added 20 rushing yards. It was a favorable matchup against the Chargers, and he'll look to carry over that momentum into a much tougher test in Cleveland this week. The former Ohio State star will look to keep rolling in the Buckeye State against a defense that has been one of the best in the NFL at limiting opposing quarterback production. Stroud comes into the matchup with good momentum, though, after helping the Texans turn things around after an 0-4 start. He has 14 total touchdowns and just two turnovers in his last five games, with multiple touchdowns in each contest. He can be a strong streaming option in single-QB leagues based on his recent form and is RotoBaller's No. 12 QB this week, making him a starter in 12-team leagues and a solid bye-week fill-in to consider in almost all formats.
