Who Should I Start? Lamar Jackson or Daniel Jones

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (back) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's contest against the Green Bay Packers. Jackson exited their Week 16 contest with a back injury and was unable to participate in this week's practices. While the Ravens have not officially ruled out their star QB, he appears to be facing an uphill battle to suit up. During last weekend's contest, Jackson was replaced by veteran QB Tyler Huntley. In relief, Huntley went 9-for-10 with just 65 yards and no scores. Even if Jackson is able to suit up, managers should view him as a low-end QB1 with risk given his recent stretch of play. Over his last five games, Jackson has only been able to eclipse the 20.0 PPR point mark once. Huntley would carry low-end QB2 value facing a tough Green Bay defense that has allowed the 10th-fewest PPR points to opposing QBs and should not be started in any one-QB leagues.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones (Achilles) underwent surgery to repair his Achilles, which will sideline him for six to eight months. This should give Jones the ability to get fully cleared in time for training camp next summer. Jones is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, but the two sides have reportedly not been discussing a contract extension. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Colts are expected to try to re-sign Jones, but the question is at what cost. Before going down in Week 14, Jones was experiencing a bounce-back season. The 28-year-old threw for 3,101 yards, 19 touchdowns, eight interceptions, while rushing for 164 yards on 45 rushing attempts and five scores over 13 games in 2025.
