Ravens QB Lamar Jackson misses second straight practice

Oct 31, 2024

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (back/knee) is not practicing for a second straight day. Ravens HC John Harbaugh described yesterday as a “rest” day for Jackson, but he’s not out there again today. With two games in five days, Jackson’s status obviously becoming a storyline.

Fantasy Impact:

After John Harbaugh announced it was a "rest day" yesterday, it was revealed that he was dealing with a "back/knee" ailment, so this might be turning into something a little more worrisome for his Week 9 availability. All pass-catchers would receive a downgrade if Jackson is out of the lineup, though Derrick Henry could be tasked with a larger workload. We'll keep an eye on the situation as we head toward the weekend.

Fantasy Impact:

This is a tough matchup against the Rams' secondary, but there's also a chance for a shootout not that L.A.'s pass-catchers are back to health. JSN remains an interesting Flex play, while Lockett can't be trusted at this point.
