Lamar Jackson Ruled Out
Lamar Jackson has been ruled Out for the Baltimore Ravens' Week 7 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals due to an ankle injury. He did not participate in practice this week.
Before the designation, News Hub Fantasy projected Jackson for 22.0 DraftKings points at a $6,700 salary. That projection is now void. Fantasy managers should bench Jackson or drop him from active lineups in all formats this week.
Tyler Huntley Takes Over
Tyler Huntley is listed as the Ravens' second quarterback on the depth chart and is the likely starter in Jackson's absence. News Hub Fantasy projects Huntley for 3.0 DraftKings points at a $4,900 salary.
That projection is a steep drop from Jackson's pre-injury number, reflecting the gap between the two players in current fantasy value. Huntley is not a recommended fantasy start this week given that low projected output, even in deeper formats.
Other Options Behind Huntley
Joe Fagnano sits third on the depth chart at $4,000 but has no available projection, and Skylar Thompson is fourth at $4,000 with no projection either. Neither player carries enough data to be considered a viable fantasy option this week.
Unless the Ravens' plans change further, Huntley remains the only quarterback from this depth chart with a usable projection.
What to Do
Fade Lamar Jackson completely this week since he is Out and has no projection. Managers in shallow leagues should look to the waiver wire for other quarterback options rather than rely on Baltimore's backups.
Tyler Huntley can be added in deeper or two-quarterback leagues purely as a roster necessity, but his 3.0 point projection makes him unstartable in standard single-quarterback formats against the Bengals.
