Team news: Indianapolis Colts | Page 38

The Ravens plan to start Lamar Jackson at quarterback for the third consecutive game, according to a report from NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo.

The report said Joe Flacco has not been medically cleared to play, although his status could change in the coming days.

Other reports say Flacco will need a full week of practice before playing. As long as that holds true, it will confirm Jackson as the starter in Week 13, even if Flacco does practice at some point this week. As we reported Monday, once Flacco does return, the team hasn't ruled out using both QBs.

John Harbaugh said the Ravens could use both Joe Flacco and Lamar Jackson a significant amount in games once Flacco is cleared.

Obviously this wouldn't be an ideal fantasy situation for owners of either QB. Harbaugh went on to say, "We’ll just do what gives us the best chance and try to use all of our players the best way we can. So, everything is on the table." Flacco hasn't officially be cleared yet with his hip injury.

Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle is reportedly expected to be placed on injured reserve, per Stephen Holder of The Athletic.

It isn’t clear what injury Doyle is dealing with, but Holder reports there is a chance the Pro Bowl tight end is facing a potentially season-ending injury.

We'll likely hear what exactly the injury is at some point soon, but the big fantasy news is this clears a path for Ebron to be the team's top TE. Doyle averaged 81% of the snaps per game this season and in Week 12 had a 4-16-1 line playing on 55% of the snaps. Meanwhile, Ebron has collected 11 receiving TDs and even ran for one while averaging 55% of the snaps per game this season. Ebron should be a top TE play the rest of the season. Alie-Cox is next up on the TE list.
