Who Should I Start? Lamar Jackson or C.J. Stroud

Wednesday, November 12, 3:11 PM

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) missed Wednesday's practice due to knee soreness, but that "he should be good" to play on Sunday in Week 11 versus the division-rival Cleveland Browns, according to The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec. The Ravens are downplaying the injury, and Jackson should be back on the practice field on Thursday. It's something to keep an eye on, but as long as the 28-year-old two-time MVP is active this weekend, he should be in all starting fantasy football lineups despite a less-than-ideal matchup on the road against the Browns. Jackson went 19-for-29 passing for 225 yards, four touchdowns, and no interceptions in the 41-17 win over Cleveland in their first meeting this season back on Sept. 14.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) is in the league's concussion protocol and did not take part in practice on Wednesday, according to DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN. Stroud is still experiencing concussion symptoms after sitting out the Week 10 comeback win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, which does not bode well for his status for this Sunday's divisional tilt against the Tennessee Titans. Backup Davis Mills did not look very good leading Houston's offense in Stroud's place for three quarters last Sunday, but then he miraculously led the team to an improbable comeback in the fourth quarter, finishing 27-for-45 passing for 292 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. Mills' spirited effort could convince them to play it safe with Stroud going forward, especially in a very winnable game against Tennessee. As of right now, it's looking like fantasy managers will be without Stroud again this weekend.
