Tyler Huntley starting Sunday vs. Bengals in Week 7

Tyler Huntley will start for the Ravens against the Bengals on Sunday, according to Tom Pelissero.

By Cole Hartwell

Tyler Huntley will be the Ravens’ starting quarterback against the Bengals on Sunday, with Lamar Jackson (ankle) downgraded to out.

What happened

Huntley will start for the Ravens against the Bengals on Sunday, according to Tom Pelissero. Jackson was downgraded to out.

Jackson came out onto the field for Friday’s practice and was limited for the past two practices. He was close enough to take a majority of first-team reps Friday, according to Pelissero.

Context

Huntley has 41.6 PPR points in three games this season, with 429 passing yards, three passing touchdowns, 64 rushing yards, and one rushing touchdown. That is 13.9 PPR points per game. In Week 6, he had 13.4 PPR points, 165 passing yards, one passing touchdown, and 28 rushing yards. In Week 5, he had 24.0 PPR points, 201 passing yards, two passing touchdowns, 20 rushing yards, and one rushing touchdown.

Jackson has 80.1 PPR points in four games this season, with 967 passing yards, six passing touchdowns, one interception, 144 rushing yards, and one rushing touchdown. Sleeper projects him for 19.0 PPR points in Week 7.

Timeline

On October 15, Fantasy Football Desk reported that Lamar Jackson had a realistic chance to play in Week 6 against the Cleveland Browns, per USA TODAY Sports and Adam Schefter. Jackson officially did not practice Wednesday. Head coach Jesse Minter said Jackson was day-to-day. Jackson suffered the ankle injury during Baltimore’s Week 4 win over the Tennessee Titans.

On October 16, Fantasy Football Desk reported that Tyler Huntley would be the Ravens’ starting quarterback against the Browns on Sunday. Huntley will make his second straight start.

On October 24, Fantasy Football Desk reported that Tyler Huntley would start for the Ravens against the Bengals on Sunday, according to Tom Pelissero. Jackson was limited for the past two practices and was close enough to take a majority of first-team reps Friday. The Ravens host the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, October 25.

Depth chart

Lamar Jackson is the QB1 on the depth chart, but is out for Sunday’s game. Tyler Huntley moves up to starting quarterback. Skylar Thompson is listed as QB3 and has no games played this season.

What’s next

The Ravens host the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, October 25.

🏈 Fantasy impact

Huntley gets another start with Jackson out. In his last two starts, he scored 13.4 and 24.0 PPR points. He’s a low-end QB2 option in superflex leagues, but his rushing ability gives him a floor. Jackson is out, so Huntley is usable if you need a fill-in. Consider him a high-end QB2 against the Bengals. No other Ravens quarterback is worth starting.
