Who Should I Start? Marcus Mariota or Lamar Jackson

Thursday, October 29, 2:15 PM

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) was a full participant for a second straight day on Thursday, per Jamison Hensley of ESPN. Jackson remains on track to make his return in Week 8 versus the Buffalo Bills on the road for the first time since suffering a left high-ankle sprain in the team's Week 4 win over the Tennessee Titans, so fantasy managers should get the 29-year-old two-time MVP back in their starting lineups if they have not already done so. If Jackson puts in a third straight full practice on Friday, he could be removed from the final Week 8 injury report entirely. The only thing potentially capping Jackson's fantasy ceiling this weekend is if he is hesitant to scramble and add yards with his legs while coming off his ankle sprain. The four-time Pro Bowler's impending return should also boost the fantasy appeal of all of Baltimore's offensive skill players, including running back Derrick Henry and receiver Zay Flowers. Jackson threw for 967 yards, six touchdowns, and only one pick in his first four games, adding 19 rushing attempts for 144 yards and another TD on the ground.
