The Baltimore Ravens will host the Detroit Lions in Week 3. 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 3?
Jackson is not on the injury report and is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Ravens’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Lamar Jackson in Week 3?
Lamar Jackson was special last week when the defense absolutely sold out to stop the run, something he’s proven over and over again that he can do.
He’s failed to complete 20 passes in a game this season, and that would be a red flag in most situations, but Jackson is an exception to almost every rule in the book (six of his 33 completions have resulted in touchdowns).
The fact that he’s connecting vertically with DeAndre Hopkins is a terrifying thought. This is, for my money, the best team in the sport and in a good spot to impress again under the bright lights.
Jackson is my QB1 this week, QB2 for the rest of the season.
