Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is an elite fantasy asset when healthy, but he's been struck with the injury bug in recent weeks, much like he was last season. Fantasy managers are itching to get the former MVP back in lineups, but there's still concern he could miss more time.
Many of the Ravens' skill-players are also banged up, but the guys who are healthy could receive fantasy boosts when Jackson does return for Baltimore.
Is Lamar Jackson playing in Week 16? What is his fantasy outlook if he does play? Let's dive into it.

Lamar Jackson Injury Update for Fantasy Football
Jackson (knee) was not at practice on Wednesday. The superstar quarterback has now missed eight straight practices because of the knee injury. He last played in Week 13 against the Denver Broncos before leaving early with a sprained PCL. Jackson has missed the past two games and could miss a third one on Saturday against the Atlanta Falcons.
It would be a tough break for fantasy managers that have made it this far without him, but that's the name of the game sometimes in fantasy football.
Lamar Jackson/Tyler Huntley Week 16 Outlook
Whenever Jackson suits up to play, he's a must-start in fantasy football -- no matter what. If Baltimore is comfortable enough with his health to play him with the NFL playoffs just ahead, we as fantasy managers should be, too. Ultimately, injuries to Rashod Bateman and Devin Duvernay have hurt his already low-volume passing upside, but he could pay off with purely rushing yards and touchdowns.
If the superstar quarterback is out again this week, Tyler Huntley will get his third straight start for the Ravens. The backup quarterback has 413 passing yards and 27.2 fantasy points this season, filling in for Jackson.
Huntley had a boom performance last year when he stepped in for Jackson, but he has struggled mightily this season and cannot be trusted in crunch time of the fantasy football playoffs.
