Lamar Jackson Fantasy Football Rankings & Outlook

PFM Fantasy Outlook

Lamar Jackson has missed three consecutive games with a high ankle sprain, and Baltimore's recent losses have exposed how much the offense needs his movement. He returned to limited practice last week but still described pain when running. The Ravens ruled him out against Cincinnati, then said Monday that they expect to know substantially more after Wednesday's work. That is encouragement, not clearance for the Week 8 trip to Buffalo.

Jackson threw for 967 yards and six touchdowns in four games before the injury, adding 144 rushing yards and a rushing score. His legs are part of his fantasy value and the entire Ravens offensive structure, so a return at reduced mobility would be different from a normal Jackson start. PFM ranks him QB6 for Week 8 and QB5 rest of season. Those placements assume the ankle will allow him to play his game. Practice participation must settle the immediate decision.
