Lamar Jackson Questionable at Best for Week 5

Tuesday, October 6, 5:13 AM

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.

Rebound Potential For Kyler Murray Against Dolphins

Friday, October 2, 12:56 PM

After a mostly lackluster first full game with the Minnesota Vikings, quarterback Kyler Murray faces an excellent matchup against the struggling Miami Dolphins on Sunday. The former Arizona Cardinal looked jittery and didn't provide much of an immediate upgrade to a Minnesota passing game that has thrown for fewer yards than any other team, but he'll step into friendlier circumstances against the Dolphins this week. Miami is 30th in the NFL in pressure percentage, still doesn't have a sack this season, and has allowed points on 50% of their opponents' possessions. Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson (ankle) is out again after missing the majority of last week's game, but the matchup is good enough that Murray is worth considering in most formats against the Dolphins. He's RotoBaller's QB13 for Week 4.
