        Lamar Jackson Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

        Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

        Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (hamstring) did not practice all week and is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Rams. He’ll get a Week 7 bye and hope to make it back for Week 8. QB Cooper Rush gets another start this weekend but isn’t even a recommended start in 2-QB fantasy leagues.

        Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (hamstring) remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice. It seems more likely than not that Jackson will miss Sunday's game vs. the Rams, take his Week 7 bye, and hope to return for Week 8. We'll keep you updated on Jackson's status, but fantasy owners shouldn't plan on having him this week.

        Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (hamstring) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Texans. He didn’t practice all week and could be looking at a multi-game absence. Baltimore gets the Rams next week before a Week 7 bye. QB Cooper Rush gets the ball on Sunday for his first start since last December with the Cowboys. He’s a massive downgrade from Jackson and changes the entire complexion of Baltimore’s offense. The Ravens are implied for just 19.5 points vs. Houston.

        Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (hamstring) remained sidelined for Thursday's practice. He continues to look unlikely to play vs. the Texans this weekend and could miss multiple games. Expect Jackson to be ruled out tomorrow.

        Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. He feels like a long shot to play vs. the Texans this weekend and could also miss Week 6. Baltimore has a Week 7 bye. We'll keep you updated on Jackson's progress, but fantasy managers should not be counting on him in Week 5 lineups.

        Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (hamstring) will "likely" miss Sunday's game vs. the Texans and could be sidelined for 2-3 weeks, according to The Baltimore Sun's Brian Wacker. The Ravens have a Week 7 bye, so Week 8 has felt like a realistic return target for Jackson since he went down. We'll keep you updated on his status, but fantasy managers need to be making other plans for the next couple of weeks. Jackson's absence would leave QB Cooper Rush under center for games against Houston and the Rams. Rush has made 14 career starts -- all for the Cowboys -- and sports a 60.9% completion rate at 6.3 yards per attempt.

        Ravens HC John Harbaugh did not have more information on QB Lamar Jackson's hamstring injury at his Monday press conference. But he did confirm that the injury -- and not the score -- kept Jackson from returning to the Chiefs game. "The way I know Lamar, if he could've gone in the game, he would've been in the game," Harbaugh said. "There was no way he could have gone back in the game." As NFL Network's Ian Rapoport put it, "That does open the door to Jackson missing next Sunday vs. the Texans." We'll look for further updates on Jackson's injury and track his practice participation when Baltimore gets back to work on Wednesday. But Jackson owners should be lining up a backup plan for at least Week 5 (and maybe beyond). The Ravens have a Week 7 bye.

        Ravens QB Lamar Jackson suffered a hamstring injury in the third quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Chiefs. It didn't look serious, and Jackson is officially questionable to return. But he's on the sidelines without his helmet and has been replaced by QB Cooper Rush. Stay tuned for an update.

        Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens scored 31 points in the second half to surge past the Cleveland Browns 41-17. Baltimore got off to an innocuous start, entering the locker room with just 81 total yards and a 10-3 lead. However, Jackson completed 9 of his 12 second-half passes for 148 yards and three touchdowns as the Ravens outscored the Browns 31-14 in the second half.

        Ravens QB Lamar Jackson is fine according to HC John Harbaugh after getting stepped on yesterday in practice. Jackson isn’t practicing today, but x-rays were negative for any injury in his foot.

        Ravens QB Lamar Jackson exited Wednesday's practice with what appeared to be a right hand or wrist injury, according to multiple reports. But the team is saying that Jackson got stepped on and is fine.

        Ravens TE Isaiah Likely suffered an ankle injury near the end of Tuesday’s practice, according to Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. Likely is set to have an MRI on Wednesday but is expected to be out “a few weeks,” HC Jim Harbaugh said.

        The Ravens are signing WR DeAndre Hopkins to a one-year, $6 million deal, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

        ESPN’s Jamison Hensley writes that “there’s no question the Ravens would like to retain” LT Ronnie Stanley. However, the 31-year-old (in March) is set to hit free agency after an excellent 2024.

        Ravens QB Lamar Jackson had the best game of his career against the Steelers, completing 15 of 23 for 207 yards including three TDs. He also ran for 22 yards on the ground, dominating one of the best defenses in the league.

        Ravens WRs Rashod Bateman (foot) and Nelson Agholor (concussion) are listed as questionable for Saturday's game vs. the Steelers. Agholor did not practice all week and is a long shot to be cleared by Saturday. Bateman was added to the injury report on Wednesday and then did not practice on Thursday. He was spotted in a walking boot on Thursday morning. That might leave Baltimore without its No. 2 and 3 WRs this weekend. That'd likely mean target-share boosts for WR Zay Flowers and TEs Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely.

        Update: The Ravens later downgraded Agholor to out.
