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 delivered big numbers in Sunday's come-from-ahead loss to the Dolphins. He ran for 119 yards on 9 attempts, with most of that coming via his 79-yard TD dash in the 3rd quarter. Jackson also racked up 318 yards and 3 TDs through the air, finding TE Mark Andrews, WR Rashod Bateman and WR Demarcus Robinson for scores. Bateman (4-108) and Andrews (9-104) each delivered big lines, combining to claim 62% of Jackson's targets for the game.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson managed just 213 yards passing and 17 more on the ground in Sunday's 24-9 victory at the Jets. But he made up for it with 3 TD throws. Jackson found WR Devin Duvernay for scores from 25 and 17 yards out and hit WR Rashod Bateman for a 55-yard score in the 3rd quarter. Baltimore heads back home to face Miami in Week 2.

"I think it's the best I've ever seen him throw it thus far," Ravens OC Greg Roman said Friday about QB Lamar Jackson. Roman, of course, has been Baltimore's coordinator for the past 3 seasons, and has thus watched plenty of Jackson passes. He also noted the QB's increased strength, as we've passed along here previously. "He's really worked hard in the offseason, and it's showing," Roman added. "We're all very excited." Fantasy football players have already seen the vaulted ceiling that Jackson possesses. Consider him an elite QB option as you draft.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson has packed on about 15 pounds this offseason and looks noticeably bigger in the upper body. "I just wanted to do it, see how it looks and see how it feels," Jackson said. "And I feel good." We'll see if Jackson decides to play the season at the 220 pounds he's currently at. It'd probably help his mobility while hopefully not sapping him of any speed.

QB Lamar Jackson shared that he’s hopeful he can reach a long-term deal with the Ravens by training camp. “I'm not going to say 'yeah' right now,” Jackson said regarding a potential agreement. “Hopefully. But it's God's timing.” Talks are ongoing — and remember that Jackson is negotiating a new contract without an agent. Ultimately, Jackson's contract situation isn't a reason to value him differently in 2022 drafts. He's a clear-cut top-5 fantasy passer.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson reported to mandatory minicamp on Monday. This was always the expectation, but Jackson, 25, remains without a long-term extension. According to PFT’s Myles Simmons, Jackson “has not yet engaged the club in meaningful contract talks.” Note that the QB is representing himself in contract negotiations.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson's ankle "feels great," HC John Harbaugh said Monday. Jackson ended up missing the final 4 games of the season with a bone bruise to that ankle, but it shouldn't impact his offseason.

Ravens QB Tyler Huntley will start Sunday's game vs. the Steelers, HC John Harbaugh said Friday. QB Lamar Jackson still isn't able to play on that ankle injury. Huntley has finished QB18, QB1 and QB21 in fantasy points in 3 starts this season.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. The Ravens haven't been eliminated from the playoffs quite yet, but they're a long shot, so there's little reason to push Jackson when he's not at 100%. Look for QB Tyler Huntley to start vs. the Steelers this weekend.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (ankle) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Rams. QB Tyler Huntley gets another start. He led all QBs in fantasy points in his last start back in Week 15 and finished QB18 in his Week 11 start.

Ravens QB Tyler Huntley remains the "likely" starter vs. the Rams today, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. QB Lamar Jackson (ankle) hasn't been ruled out yet and might test that ankle in pregame warmups. But all signs point to Huntley getting the nod. We'll get Baltimore's inactives around 11:30 am ET.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (ankle) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Rams. He put in a limited practice on Wednesday that didn't go well -- and then sat out on Thursday and Friday. Jackson looks unlikely to play on Sunday. Look for QB Tyler Huntley to get the start.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (ankle) did not practice on Thursday. He was officially limited on Wednesday but was limping around the practice field. Jackson is looking like a long shot to play vs. the Rams this weekend. We've removed him from the Week 17 Rankings and added QB Tyler Huntley.

Ravens QB Tyler Huntley has been activated from the COVID list. He'll be available to start Sunday's game vs. the Rams if QB Lamar Jackson remains out with his ankle injury.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (ankle) got in a limited practice on Wednesday -- his first official workout since going down back in Week 14. Jackson had a "pronounced limp," according to ESPN's Jamison Hensley, and "had trouble jogging." That doesn't sound like a guy who will be anywhere close to 100% this weekend. We'll see if Jackson guts it out vs. the Rams on Sunday, but his rushing ability figures to be limited if he does.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (ankle) did not travel with the team to Cincinnati and is out for Sunday's game vs. the Bengals. With QB Tyler Huntley on the COVID list, Baltimore is down to QB Josh Johnson, who signed with the team just 11 days ago. Johnson is 35 and has made just 8 NFL starts -- none since 2018. He did get some action with the Jets earlier this season, completing 27 of 41 passes for 317 yards, 3 TDs and 1 INT in relief of QB Mike White in a wild Thursday nighter vs. the Colts. Johnson might not be a downgrade from Huntley as a passer, but this is still a tough spot considering how little time he's had with the Ravens.

Ravens QB Tyler Huntley tested positive for COVID on Saturday morning and will miss Sunday's game against the Bengals. There's still a chance that Lamar Jackson plays, but he was expected to back up Huntley if active. Josh Johnson is now expected to start, 11 days after joining the Ravens.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Bengals. He didn’t practice all week, though, and is not expected to play this weekend. QB Tyler Huntley missed Friday’s practice with a non-COVID illness but is expected to start against Cincinnati.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport believes QB Tyler Huntley is likely to start Sunday's game vs. the Bengals. That's not a big surprise considering QB Lamar Jackson has yet to practice this week with the bone bruise to his ankle. We'll see if Jackson's status improves over the next couple of days. But, at this point, fantasy owners should assume it'll be Huntley under center again this weekend.
