Ravens coach John Harbaugh says rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson will be part of the quarterback rotation, even as Joe Flacco remains the starter.

“One way or another, he’s going to be out there, taking snaps,” Harbaugh told John Kryk of the Toronto Sun. “Lamar is also a weapon for us, who can play quarterback. And we’re going to play Lamar at quarterback,” Harbaugh said. “So we’re going to play all of our good players. I don’t see why we wouldn’t. You’ve got this first.”

The writing is already on the wall here for Flacco to not make it through the 2018 season as the starter. The Ravens have already been seen installing designed quarterback runs, and their offensive coaching staff has extensive time working with mobile quarterbacks like Michael Vick and Colin Kaepernick. Fantasy gamers already recognize that Jackson starting is a matter of when, not if, as he continues to go higher than Flacco in drafts.

ESPN Ravens reporter Jamison Hensley reports that the quarterback depth chart for the Ravens is "well-defined" right now, with Joe Flacco at the top, and Lamar Jackson as the backup.

Offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg had some good things to say about both Flacco and Jackson today, but the veteran clearly still has a stranglehold on the position. Jackson is actually going ahead of Flacco in drafts right now (quarterback No. 29 vs No. 31), which presents a unique buying opportunity for the former Super Bowl MVP.

Ravens tight end Hayden Hurst said both Joe Flacco and Lamar Jackson have quickly gotten comfortable throwing the ball to their new teammate.

“It’s been awesome,” Hurst said on Sirius XM NFL Radio with Bruce Murray and Brady Quinn. “They both bring different things to the table. Joe has an extremely talented arm. He’s been doing it for years, Super Bowl MVP. And, of course, Lamar brings a whole different dynamic with his legs to the game. Both of those guys can throw it where they want it. They’ll put it up even when I’m not open and they trust me to go make a play. And that’s what I tell them I’m going to do: ‘If you’re ever in trouble, just put it up. I’m going to make a play for you guys.'”

Hurst is our No. 19 ranked tight end list. Rookie tight ends often need time to adjust to the NFL and don't make immediate fantasy impacts, but the position is such a big need for the Ravens that Hurst should get some chances to produce fantasy numbers. At this point, he's more of a late-round flier in deeper leagues.

The Baltimore Ravens don't view a quarterback controversy between Joe Flacco and Lamar Jackson.

The Ravens see it as an opportunity for quarterback creativity.

Throughout the offseason, Baltimore has been putting Flacco and Jackson on the field at the same time. With Flacco playing quarterback, Jackson has lined up at multiple positions.

Head coach John Harbaugh said he's looking to see what putting two QBs on the field at the same time can do for the offense. The story said Jackson doesn't do drills at other positions, but it's expected Jackson will be active on game days and perhaps have certain packages.

Joe Flacco needs to make up for lost time. The Ravens forfeited two of their 10 voluntary offseason practices last week after breaking NFL rules. It's the third time since 2010 that the NFL has disciplined coach John Harbaugh and his team for an offseason violation.

As the story said, this impacts the chemistry-building of Flacco and Baltimore's revamped passing game the most. Among the 19 wide receivers and tight ends on the roster, 12 are in their first year with the Ravens, including Crabtree, Brown, and Snead. What helps is the Ravens starting training camp a week earlier than usual. Baltimore's first full-team practice is scheduled for July 19 because the Ravens play in the Hall of Fame game.

Joe Flacco has consistently found Michael Crabtree during the first two weeks of Baltimore Ravens offseason practices, whether it's over the middle, along the sideline or in the corner of the end zone.

The impressive part isn't the number of times Flacco has hit the Ravens' biggest free-agent addition. It's the effortlessness it takes for Flacco and Crabtree to connect, as if they were playing pitch and catch in the backyard.

Their chemistry appears to go beyond the six practices on the field.

The Ravens have lacked a true No. 1 receiver as of late, and Flacco seems to have struggled as a result. Last season, Mike Wallace led the Raves with 748 yards, and as the story pointed out, there were 39 other players who totaled more.

Ravens wide receiver Mike Wallace misses his second straight practice. He's dealing with an ankle injury that he sustained in the first quarter Sunday but returned to play the rest of the game.

Wallace has been the only fantasy relevant pass-catcher for the Ravens over the past four weeks, averaging 13.1 PPR points per game over that span. He would square off with Jason McCourty, which isn’t as bad of a matchup as it might seem. Over the last three weeks, McCourty has yielded 5-66 to A.J. Green, 6-83-1 to Keenan Allen, and 5-45-2 to Davante Adams.
