Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson won't play in Friday's preseason opener against the Philadelphia Eagles, according to head coach John Harbaugh. Veteran signal-caller Josh Johnson will get the starting nod under center for Baltimore. Jackson is expected to play during the preseason, but that won't happen in the opener this weekend. The 27-year-old two-time NFL MVP missed some practices at the start of training camp with an illness, but he's fine now and is looking for an encore performance in 2024 after throwing for a career-high 3,678 yards, 24 touchdowns and seven interceptions while also rushing for 821 yards and an additional five TDs on the ground. Jackson isn't as prolific as a thrower as some other QBs, but his rushing prowess makes up for it and keeps him as a top-five fantasy signal-caller.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (illness), who was back at Saturday's practice after dealing with an illness, said he feels "wonderful" when asked about his health on Monday. Jackson missed four of the team's first five practices at training camp last week with a "bug." The 27-year-old two-time MVP has now participated in three straight sessions, and he doesn't feel as if he's behind with his reps. In his first season with offensive coordinator Todd Monken calling the plays in Baltimore, Jackson finished first among qualifying signal-callers in fantasy points per dropback (0.68) en route to his second career MVP award. With his ailment seemingly behind him, Jackson is safe to draft as a top-five fantasy option at his position this summer.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson missed a few days of practice last week while dealing with an illness, but the two-time MVP said he feels "fully back" following Monday's practice. This is great news as the calendar nears August with preseason action just around the corner. As usual, Jackson is expected to be a top-five fantasy quarterback in 2024, and he could contend for the overall QB1. Although he posted a career-low 5.5 yards per carry (minimum eight starts) last season, he remains the best rushing quarterback in the NFL, and tight end Mark Andrews and ascending wideout Zay Flowers provide him with enough pass-catching firepower to continue to improve his numbers as a passer.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (illness) returned to practice on Saturday. He missed four days to begin training camp, and while details surrounding the nature of his illness were scarce, it's a great sign for fantasy managers. The 27-year-old had a quality season in 2023-24, throwing for 3,678 yards, 24 touchdowns, and seven picks, adding 821 yards and five scores off 148 carries. He also completed a career-high 67.2% of his throws and was named the league's Most Valuable Player for the second time. Without question, Jackson has plenty of hype surrounding him entering the 2024-25 campaign. He has potent weapons on the offensive end, specifically former Titan Derrick Henry. As a result, fantasy managers should anticipate the signal-caller being one of the first fantasy quarterbacks grabbed in drafts.
The Baltimore Ravens announced that quarterback Lamar Jackson (illness) will remain sidelined due to his illness and will not take part in Friday's training camp practice. Jackson will continue to undergo further evaluation and receive care from the medical staff. The 27-year-old two-time MVP returned to the practice field on Wednesday but apparently is still under the weather from an illness that he first came down with last weekend. He should be fully recovered well before the start of the 2024 regular season, so fantasy managers should have nothing to worry about. When healthy, Jackson is one of the most dangerous dual-threat signal-callers in the league and is a top-five fantasy QB. What he lacks with his arm, he more than makes up for with his rushing ability. Jackson had a career-high 3,678 passing yards with 24 touchdown passes and seven picks in 16 regular-season starts in 2023.
