Baltimore Ravens superstar quarterback Lamar Jackson has tested positive for COVID-19 and will miss Week 12 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

This is a scary situation unfolding in Baltimore, especially with tight end Mark Andrews deciding to play this season despite being diabetic. The reigning MVP will miss Week 12, which means that Robert Griffin III will be starting for Baltimore. This is a massive development that may dig the Ravens an even larger hole in their efforts to push their way back into playoff position. Jackson will be eligible to return to the team late in Week 13 providing he shows no symptoms, though the Ravens are currently scheduled to play on Thursday night. If he is symptomatic, he may miss multiple contests unless he starts returning negative tests tomorrow. RGIII will be a superflex option only.

The expectation is Dez Bryant’s snaps will increase at some point. The Ravens don’t sign someone with the pedigree of Bryant to put him out on the field for a handful of plays.

It's a good sign Bryant suited up after six practices, which indicates the team is pleased with how he's getting in football shape and learning the offense. Last week, Lamar Jackson praised Bryant's route-running and strong hands.

The story went on to say Baltimore isn’t getting much from its wide receivers, who rank last in the NFL in receiving yards (991) and have totaled the third-fewest touchdown catches (four). Miles Boykin, who provides the most size at wide receiver outside of Bryant, has watched his snaps decrease from 40 per game to a season-low 22 on Sunday. If the Ravens continue to decrease Boykin's role, it wouldn't come as a shock to see Bryant's presence in the offense increase.

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said QB Lamar Jackson is '100 percent' and will play Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Nothing bad to see here. All fantasy players should take note of how Jackson looks Sunday, whether running or stepping into throws, to see how his injured knee looks. Jackson has been a borderline QB1 this season, but is nearly impossible to bench against a mediocre Bengals offense.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson returned to practice Friday, according to Jamison Hensley of ESPN. Jackson had sat out practices this week with a knee injury, but looked good.

Jackson practicing Friday calms the nerves of fantasy players everywhere. It was assumed he would play, but practice time takes away a lot of concerns of additional limitations on game day. Start Jackson in all formats.

According to Jamison Hensley on Twitter, Lamar Jackson had illness added to the injury report beside the knee tag that was on Wednesday's report.

It appears that Jackson is dealing with both an illness and a knee injury, so it is fair to wonder if his Week 5 status may be in jeopardy. While practicing with the team would be ideal, he can still make the start with zero practice sessions this week. However, he will not be cleared if he still has an illness, so he now has two things to fight through in order to play on Sunday. Jackson is our number three ranked quarterback for Week 5 against the Bengals.

According to Jeff Zrebiec on Twitter, Baltimore Ravens superstar quarterback Lamar Jackson missed Thursday's practice.

This marks the second straight missed practice for Jackson. There is now some reason for concern, but we will have to wait until Friday's practice session before hitting the panic button. Offensive coordinator Greg Roman did not shut down the possibility of Lamar practicing later in the day (in the portion not available to media), stating that head coach John Harbaugh makes decisions regarding the injury situations of different players. This is a situation to monitor closely. If Jackson cannot go on Sunday, Robert Griffin III will get the start against the Cincinnati Bengals. Lamar is our third ranked quarterback for Week 5.

Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson did not practice on Wednesday due to a knee injury the team does not consider to be serious.

It sounds like this may be a non-issue for fantasy but it is always alarming to see a player of Jackson's importance sitting out of practice. Schefter's report makes it clear that the team does not expect Jackson to miss time and his absence is considered precautionary. Check in tomorrow to verify Jackson is back at practice and ready to roll for Sunday's matchup with the Bengals.
