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 did not practice on Wednesday and is on the injury report with back and knee issues. HC John Harbaugh said it was just a rest day, though, so it doesn't sound like Jackson is in any danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Broncos. We'll let you know if that changes.

Panthers WR Diontae Johnson has been traded to the Baltimore Ravens. The move cost the Ravens very little swapping a 2025 5th round pick to the panthers for Johnson and a 2025 6th round pick. Johnson adds another weapon for Lamar Jackson, but it is a less than stellar landing spot for Johnson's fantasy potential this season.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson had a monster game putting up 41 points on the Buccaneers on Monday Night Football. Jackson completed 17-of-22 passes for 281 yards and 5 TDs. he also ran for 52 yards on the ground.

Bengals QB Joe Burrow went off completing 30 of 39 passes for 391 yards with five TDs and one INT.. Not be outdone, Ravens QB Lamar Jackson also had a huge game going 26 of 42 for 348 yards and 4 TDs passing while adding 55 yards on the ground.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson completed 13 of 18 passes for 156 yards and two TDs. He also ran six times for 54 yards and an additional TD.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson ended with a final stat line consistening of 21 completions on 34 passes for 247 yards including a TD and Int. He had 45 yards rushing on five carries as well in the Ravens loss. The Raiders bottled up the Ravens early in the game with no Ravens TD scored in the entire first half. It was a disappointing performance by Jackson and the offense given what looked like a great match-up on paper against the Raiders secondary.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson had a huge night on the ground in Thursday's opener vs. the Chiefs, carrying 16 times for 122 yards. It was the third-biggest rushing tally of his carry. Jackson was particularly effective on scrambles, racking up 90 yards on nine attempts. His seven designed carries went for 32 yards. Jackson had an OK night as a passer, throwing for 273 yards, one TD, and 0 INTs on a 63% completion rate and 6.7 yards per attempt. He notably missed a wide-open WR Zay Flowers in the back of the end zone on the penultimate play of the game. Jackson then appeared to connect with TE Isaiah Likely for the game-tying score -- but replay showed that Likely's toe was just barely out of bounds.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson was back on the practice field on Saturday. He missed time with an illness earlier this week, but it doesn't sound like a factor going forward. "Jackson looked more like the NFL Most Valuable Player than someone who had missed four of the first five practices with an illness," ESPN's Jamison Hensley wrote after Saturday's session.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson did not practice on Friday due to an illness. He missed time early in the week but had practiced on Wednesday and Thursday. "He continues to undergo further evaluation and receive care from our medical team," the Ravens said in a statement.

The Ravens selected North Carolina WR Devontez Walker in Round 4 of the NFL Draft. Walker’s path to the draft was a long one that included a 2019 ACL tear and multiple transfers. He entered scouts’ radar in 2022 at Kent State, where he tallied 58-921-11 in 12 games. Walker accounted for 29.6% of the team’s catches, 35.6% of the receiving yards, and 64.7% of the receiving TDs. Strong marks – the kind you want to see from a guy facing a lower level of competition. A transfer to North Carolina paired Walker with top-10 QB prospect Drake Maye. However, Walker didn’t play a full season, as an eligibility battle with the NCAA limited the Carolina native to eight games. When active, he filled an outside, vertical role. That led to a massive 18.2-yard aDOT and 17.0 yards per catch. The nearly 6’2, 193-pounder effectively used his 83rd percentile wingspan to snag 10 of 17 contested catch opportunities (58.5%). Walker also boats NFL-caliber speed on tape. According to tracking data from Zebra Sports, he hit a Senior Bowl-high 21.18 MPH. Walker’s negatives come from a lack of proven post-catch ability and a thin route portfolio. Overall, we’re intrigued by the size/athleticism package. In Baltimore, Walker finds intriguing opportunity behind No. 1 WR Zay Flowers. Walker will primarily compete for snaps with Rashod Bateman and Nelson Agholor. The rookie at least has a shot to provide some spike weeks for best-ball teams. Longer term, he has the potential to develop into a field-stretching No. 2 WR for QB Lamar Jackson.

Ravens QB Tyler Huntley will start Saturday's regular-season finale vs. the Steelers, HC John Harbaugh said Wednesday. QB Lamar Jackson will get the day off after Baltimore clinched the AFC's No. 1 seed last week. We'll see whether Baltimore plans to play other key regulars like RB Gus Edwards, WRs Zay Flowers and Odell Beckham, and TE Isaiah Likely. They'd all make for risky Week 18 fantasy starts.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson dominated the Dolphins with 321 yards and 5 TDs in Week 17. The five scores tied a career high, and he did so on only 21 pass attempts. Isaiah Likely (2), Zay Flowers, Justice Hill, and Patrick Ricard accounted for Jackson’s TDs against a previously surging Miami defense. Baltimore clinched the No. 1 seed in the AFC, so Jackson – and other key starters – might rest Sunday vs. Pittsburgh.

The forecast for today's Rams-Ravens game calls for a 97% chance of rain with winds of 10-15 mph and gusts up to 30. Expect lots of running from both offenses in this one. The over/under has dropped from 45.0 to 42.0 -- although the Ravens are still implied for a solid 24.75 points. See the updated projections for this game.
