Lamar Jackson News

Lamar Jackson Remains Limited in Practice on Thursday

Thursday, October 22, 12:58 PM

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) "ramped up his workload" but remained limited in practice on Thursday, per Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Banner. Jackson has missed Baltimore's last two games with an ankle injury, and his status for the team's Week 7 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals appears to be uncertain as well. Across four games before getting injured, the 29-year-old threw for 967 yards and six touchdowns and also collected 144 yards and a touchdown as a rusher. If Jackson is unable to return against Cincinnati, Ravens QB2 Tyler Huntley would be in line to make his third straight start. Huntley has performed adequately so far, but he's averaged just 6.0 yards per pass attempt. If Jackson remains sidelined, fantasy managers should slightly downgrade expectations for Ravens pass-catchers like wide receiver Zay Flowers and tight end Mark Andrews.

Kyler Murray News

Kyler Murray is Gaining Traction Ahead of Favorable Matchup

Monday, October 19, 6:22 PM

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray is coming off his best performance of the season in Week 5. He completed 24-of-30 passing attempts for 229 yards with one touchdown and zero interceptions in the win over the New Orleans Saints. The Vikings were on bye last week, so Murray is well rested ahead of the Week 7 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. The hope is that Jordan Addison (hamstring) and T.J. Hockenson (concussion) will be available for this weekend. If the Vikings are at full force, Murray is looking like a strong streaming option against the Colts shaky defense. The dual-threat quarterback has done enough to warrant a look, especially for fantasy managers who need someone with their quarterbacks on bye.
