The Baltimore Ravens will visit the Green Bay Packers in Week 17. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding QB Lamar Jackson.
Is Lamar Jackson Playing in Week 17?
Jackson (back) didn’t participate in Tuesday’s walk-through practice, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Should You Start or Sit Jackson in Week 17?
Jackson suffered what is being labeled as a “significant” back contusion, but the Ravens may roll him out there on Saturday with their season on the line.
He’s already missed three games this season and been active but absent for the majority of this season (four games under eight fantasy points and yet to have a 30-point effort).
I think we’ve reached a point where you need to move on. That’s obviously hard to do, but a compromised version of a struggling QB isn’t exactly where I want my fate sitting.
Tyler Shough is currently my highest-ranked available option in many leagues, with Malik Willis looming, should Jordan Love (concussion) be ruled inactive.
The Jackson project will be a fun endeavor this summer. My intuition is that his value will dip, but not as much as most are hoping. Unless they add a receiver, he won’t be in my top tier at the position.
