Tyler Huntley, DeSean Jackson Questionable
2 years agoBaltimore Ravens quarterback 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
2 years agoBaltimore Ravens wide receiver 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
2 years agoBaltimore Ravens wide receiver 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.

DeSean Jackson Should Be Far From Any Fantasy Consideration
2 years agoBaltimore Ravens wide receiver DeSean Jackson has had one game with more than 34 yards since arriving in Baltimore back in Week 9. The 36-year-old has only played two of his five games with Lamar Jackson at quarterback which has severely limited his upside. On top of that, the run-heavy offense will play in some iffy weather in Week 16 that is not conducive to Jackson's bread-and-butter, the deep ball. During fantasy playoffs, leave Jackson firmly on the waiver wire and go for almost anyone else.
