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

Tyler Huntley expected to start second straight game for Ravens in Week 6 vs. Browns

Tyler Huntley is expected to start his second consecutive game Sunday against the Cleveland Browns with Lamar Jackson again missing practice.

By Cole Hartwell

Tyler Huntley is expected to start for the second straight game when the Baltimore Ravens visit the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Lamar Jackson was not present during the media viewing portion of Friday’s practice, according to Jamison Hensley, indicating Huntley will likely start again.

What happened

Hensley reported that Jackson missed every practice this week and has not suited up since spraining his left ankle in a win over the Titans on Oct. 4. Jeremy Fowler noted that Huntley is 6-6 in the regular season as a Baltimore relief starter since 2021.

Context

Huntley has played two games this season, totaling 28.2 PPR points, 264 passing yards, 2 passing touchdowns, 36 rushing yards and 1 rushing touchdown. In Week 5, he played 100% of the snaps and produced 24.0 PPR points with 201 passing yards and 2 touchdown passes plus 20 rushing yards and a rushing score. The Ravens have averaged 33.7 points in Huntley’s last three victories as a fill-in starter for Jackson, according to Hensley, and Huntley has won his last three starts in that role.

Timeline

On 2026-10-09, Fantasy Football Desk reported that Lamar Jackson missed a third straight Ravens practice on Friday, according to Mike Garafolo, and had not practiced all week due to an ankle injury.

On 2026-10-08, Fantasy Football Desk reported that Jackson remained out of Ravens practice Thursday due to the ankle injury that knocked him out of the Week 4 win over the Titans, and that Huntley would start if Jackson is out.

On 2026-10-15, Fantasy Football Desk reported that Jackson had a realistic chance to play in Week 6 against the Cleveland Browns, according to USA TODAY Sports, and that he officially did not practice Wednesday while head coach Jesse Minter called him day-to-day.

Depth chart

Lamar Jackson remains the Ravens’ QB1, but he has not practiced this week. Huntley is listed as QB2. Skylar Thompson is on injured reserve, and Aaron Bailey and Joe Fagnano have not played in a game this season.

What’s next

The Ravens visit the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, October 18.

Looks like a second consecutive game for Tyler Huntley, who is 6-6 in the regular season as a Baltimore relief starter since 2021.

🏈 Fantasy impact

With Huntley expected to start, he becomes a streamable QB2 in superflex and 2-QB leagues. He scored 24.0 PPR points in Week 5 and has produced 14.1 PPR points per game this season. Lamar Jackson’s absence boosts Huntley’s value. The Ravens’ next three games after Cleveland are against the Bengals, Bills and Jaguars, so if Jackson misses more time, Huntley remains a solid option. In 1-QB leagues, Huntley is a low-end streamer only if you are desperate. The offense has averaged 33.7 points in Huntley’s last three starts as a fill-in, so the supporting cast raises his floor.

Quick answers

Will Lamar Jackson play in Week 6?

Lamar Jackson missed every practice this week and was not present during Friday's media viewing, making it likely Tyler Huntley starts for the second straight week.
