Newer update on Lamar Jackson: Tyler Huntley starting vs. Cleveland in Week 6

Lamar Jackson injury update: Misses third straight practice ahead of Week 5 vs. Falcons (ankle)

Jackson hasn't practiced all week, usually a bad sign, but coach Jesse Minter said he could play without practicing.

By Cole Hartwell

Lamar Jackson missed a third straight Ravens practice on Friday, according to Mike Garafolo. Jackson has not practiced all week due to an ankle injury. Jamison Hensley noted that is “usually a bad sign.”

What happened

Jamison Hensley reported that Jackson was not present during Friday’s practice media viewing. The Ravens quarterback has not practiced all week. Coach Jesse Minter said Wednesday that Jackson could play without practicing.

Context

Jackson is QB2 on the Ravens depth chart, behind Tyler Huntley. Through Week 4, Jackson has 80.1 PPR points, 967 pass yards, 6 pass touchdowns, 1 interception, 144 rush yards, and 1 rush touchdown in four games. He played 88% of snaps. In Week 4 against the Titans, he had 18.9 PPR points, 222 pass yards, 2 pass touchdowns, and 20 rush yards.

Sleeper currently tags Jackson as questionable with an ankle injury, but that is Sleeper’s own listing, not the team’s game status for Week 5.

Timeline

On October 8, Fantasy Football Desk reported Jackson remained out of Ravens practice Thursday due to the ankle injury that knocked him out of the Week 4 win over the Titans. Reporters at the open portion of practice noted he was not on the field. Coach Jesse Minter said Jackson does not necessarily need to practice this week to play Sunday. ProFootballTalk said doing no work before the end of Friday’s practice makes it unlikely Jackson plays in Atlanta. Tyler Huntley would start if Jackson is out, with Joe Fagnano as the backup.

On October 4, Fantasy Football Desk reported Carnell Tate had his first 100-yard receiving game in the Titans’ loss to the Ravens, catching nine of 12 targets for 145 yards.

Depth chart

Tyler Huntley is QB1. This season through Week 4 in one game, Huntley has 4.1 PPR points, 63 pass yards, 16 rush yards, and has played 48% of snaps. His Week 5 projection is 12.0 PPR points. Skylar Thompson is QB3, with no games played this season. Aaron Bailey and Joe Fagnano are both listed as QB4, with no games played this season.

What’s next

The Ravens play at the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, October 11. Coach Jesse Minter said Wednesday that Jackson could play without practicing. If Jackson can’t play, Tyler Huntley would start at the Falcons, according to Hensley.

Three days of no Lamar Jackson at practice for the #Ravens. [Quoting @jamisonhensley: "Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (ankle) is not present during Friday’s practice media viewing.

🏈 Fantasy impact

Three missed practices make Jackson’s availability for Week 5 very doubtful; the PFT report from Thursday stated no practice this week makes it unlikely he plays. Fantasy managers should prepare to be without Jackson. If he is out, Tyler Huntley will start at Atlanta. Huntley has played only one game this season, posting 4.1 PPR points, 63 pass yards, and 16 rush yards, with a Week 5 projection of 12.0 points. He is only a desperation streamer in superflex or 2QB leagues. Joe Fagnano would be the backup, but has no games played this season. Managers holding Jackson should consider picking up Huntley if available and monitor Jackson’s status through Sunday. Huntley has been added in 18,068 Sleeper leagues in the last 24 hours.

Quick answers

Will Lamar Jackson play in Week 5?

Jackson has not practiced all week and is considered unlikely to play in Atlanta, according to ProFootballTalk. However, coach Jesse Minter said Jackson could play without practicing.

Who will start at quarterback for the Ravens if Jackson is out?

Tyler Huntley will start if Jackson cannot play, with Joe Fagnano as the backup.
