    Is Lamar Jackson Playing vs. the Bills?

    Jackson is not listed on the injury report this week, so barring any unexpected setbacks, he is on track to play this weekend.

    We’ll continue to monitor the Ravens’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.

    Should You Start or Sit Lamar Jackson in the Divisional Round?

    The matchup is an interesting one — the Bills were able to heat up Bo Nix over the weekend, but they are the lowest-pressure-rate playoff team when looking at the larger picture. How sticky do you believe Buffalo’s numbers from last week are? For me, it impacts where you stand on Jackson and the Ravens as a whole.

    Lamar Jackson’s yards per attempt when pressured by season:

    • 2023: 8.7 yards
    • 2024: 6.6 yards

    Lamar Jackson’s yards per attempt when not pressured by season:

    • 2023: 7.8 yards
    • 2024: 9.8 yards

    Since Week 9, Jackson has completed 75.8% of his non-pressured passes with 20 touchdowns and just one interception on those 161 attempts. If you believe that what we saw last week from Buffalo was an aberration, I think you can play Jackson with the utmost confidence.

    I loved what we saw from Todd Monken’s script last week, though I fear that it was more matchup-driven than predictive. After an initial Derrick Henry run and a completed pass, Jackson carried the ball on five straight snaps. If they bring a similar script to the table this week, I think they loosen up Buffalo’s secondary and pave the way for their QB to be fantasy’s top performer this weekend.

    There are naturally two sides to that coin. If Monken elects to bloody the nose of the home team with Henry early and often, we could be looking at a low-volume game from Jackson that will make paying off his DFS price tag difficult.

    We saw the reigning MVP control the Week 4 meeting (14-of-19 for 156 yards and two touchdowns alongside 54 rushing yards and another score), counting numbers that would have been more impressive if it was more competitive.

    I do think this game comes down to the wire; that is why the two QBs in this game sit atop my rankings. I’m expecting Josh Allen and Jayden Daniels to garner more ownership this weekend, and that opens me up to at least match the field in terms of exposure to Jackson.
