Lamar Jackson Misses Practice on Wednesday

Wednesday, October 14, 1:38 PM

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday, according to ESPN's Jamison Hensley. Even though Jackson has a realistic chance to return from a one-game absence due to a left-ankle injury suffered in the Week 4 win over the Tennessee Titans, he was not on the practice field on Wednesday. The 29-year-old is not going to rush back after backup Tyler Huntley led the team to an impressive overtime win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday Night Football. Head coach Jesse Minter said on Monday that Jackson is "definitely doing better," but he should still be considered questionable to face the division-rival Cleveland Browns on Sunday in Week 6. Jackson's lack of practice on Wednesday is not a great start, but his outlook could be looking better if he is able to practice on Thursday or Friday. The former MVP will be a must-start in all fantasy lineups this weekend if he is active against the Browns.

Vikings' Scheme Shift Could Benefit Kyler Murray

Friday, October 9, 1:22 PM

After the Minnesota Vikings finally created some offensive momentum, quarterback Kyler Murray is a fringe QB1 when Minnesota takes on the New Orleans Saints in Week 5. The Vikings adapted last week, running more than 50 shotgun snaps -- their most since they hired Kevin O'Connell as head coach in 2022 -- and the changes clicked, as Murray completed 13 of his final 14 passes and established a rapport with tight end T.J. Hockenson. Additionally, top receiver Justin Jefferson (ankle) said that he aims to return against the Saints. The bigger issue this week could be protection. Left guard Donovan Jackson (knee) is out for the season, left tackle Christian Darrisaw (concussion) was ruled out, and right tackle Brian O'Neill (knee) is questionable. The Saints, however, have been struggling, allowing points on half of opponents' possessions and ranking 30th against the run, which gives Murray an opening for his first big rushing game of the year. As RotoBaller's QB12 this week, Murray is a starting option in most formats.
