DeSean Jackson and Chris Godwin Disappoint on Sunday
DeSean Jackson and Chris Godwin failed to do much against a mediocre Carolina pass defense. Jackson caught two passes for 32 yards and Godwin caught two for 40. The tandem was outshined by slot receiver Adam Humphries who took two catches to the house and received more targets than Godwin and Jackson combined (eight to their seven). This is likely just an outlier but the emergence of Humphries' target share in recent weeks should raise some eyebrows. The two are typically flex players and should continue to be regarded as such.

DeSean Jackson, Nick Boyle Waived By Ravens

Tyler Huntley, DeSean Jackson Questionable
Tyler Huntley (shoulder, wrist) and wide receiver DeSean Jackson (illness) are both questionable to play on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals in the Week 18 regular season finale. Huntley was limited all week while dealing with right shoulder tendinitis, and there appears to be a good chance that he will make his fifth straight start with Lamar Jackson (knee) already being ruled out. If Huntley doesn't play, Anthony Brown would be forced into action under center for Baltimore. Jackson did not practice all week and could be rested for the playoffs. Because the Bengals' Week 17 game was canceled, Baltimore can longer win the AFC North division by beating Cincy this weekend, so they may be less motivated to play their regulars for a full game.

DeSean Jackson Still Out Sick Thursday
DeSean Jackson (illness) was absent from practice on Thursday for the second day in a row. Jackson's status for the Week 18 regular season finale on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals is now in jeopardy, although a return to practice on Friday would put him in a good spot to be able to play. Now that Sunday's game against Cincy won't give Baltimore a chance to win the AFC North division, it's likely that the Ravens won't put their starters in danger of suffering any injuries before the postseason. It means that there's a chance D-Jax is rested this weekend. None of the Ravens' pass-catchers have really been attractive in fantasy with backup quarterback Tyler Huntley under center anyway. If Jackson is unable to play, Sammy Watkins and James Proche II would have bigger roles behind Demarcus Robinson.

DeSean Jackson Out Sick On Wednesday
DeSean Jackson (illness) did not practice on Wednesday due to an illness. If Jackson is able to return to the practice field on Thursday or Friday, he'll have a good shot at playing in Week 18 against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals. The 36-year-old has been forced into action for the Ravens receiving corps due to injuries this year, but he hasn't managed to do much in his seven games played, catching nine of his 17 targets for 153 yards and no touchdowns. D-Jax just can't be trusted in DFS or season-long leagues in this low-volume passing attack as anything more than a long shot to produce with backup quarterback Tyler Huntley, who is likely to make his fifth straight start with Lamar Jackson (knee) injured.
