Lamar Jackson has targeted tight windows on a league-low 6.5% of attempts this season, also the lowest of his career.
Updated Mon, Sep 30 at 5:57pm -
Goes for 200+ yards and three TDs
Jackson completed 13 of 18 pass attempts for 156 yards and two touchdowns while adding 54 rushing yards and another score on six attempts in Sunday's 35-10 win over the Bills.
Analysis: Jackson turned in a signature performance in which he revitalized the Ravens' contender status after a decisive victory over the now 3-1 Bills on Sunday Night Football. Last year's MVP looked the part with his first three-touchdown effort of the current season. The 27-year-old did cough up his second fumble of the season, but he has offset three total turnovers with seven combined touchdowns (two rushing) through four weeks. Jackson and the Ravens will set their sights on another division…read more

Two TDs against Dallas
Jackson completed 12 of 15 passes for 182 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 28-25 win over the Cowboys. He added 14 rushes for 87 yards and a touchdown.
Analysis: Jackson and the Ravens scored three touchdowns on their five drives in the first half, during which he accounted for 161 of his passing yards. However, his efficiency ultimately worked against his ability to put up a big stat line, as Baltimore was up by multiple scores for the vast majority of the game. Jackson's aggressiveness on the ground offset some of his lack of passing volume, and he now has 254 rushing yards in three games. While still early in the season, that puts him on pace to…read more

Can't avoid 0-2 start Sunday
Jackson completed 21 of 34 passes for 247 yards with one touchdown and one interception and added five carries for 45 yards in the Ravens' 26-23 loss to the Raiders on Sunday.
Analysis: It was a disappointing afternoon overall for Baltimore as it started 0-2 for the first time since 2015, with the Ravens blowing a 10-point second-half lead and Jackson unable to do enough to prevent it when he had the ball. The former MVP's final numbers appeared to be serviceable overall, but he couldn't establish much chemistry with any other pass catcher except for Zay Flowers, who was on the receiving end of his one touchdown pass of the contest. The offense's struggles are particularly…read more

Not on injury report
Jackson (undisclosed) was not listed on the Ravens' first Week 2 injury report released Wednesday.
Analysis: Per Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic, Jackson said that he was healthy enough to take part in Monday's unofficial practice, but the Ravens instead elected to give the quarterback some rest after he was reportedly dealing with some soreness in the aftermath of last Thursday's 27-20 loss to the Chiefs. With Jackson not appearing on the Week 2 injury report, he's officially in the clear to direct the Baltimore offense this Sunday versus the Raiders.

Returns to practice
Jackson (undisclosed) was spotted practicing Wednesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Jackson was held out of practice Monday after a 27-20 loss to the Chiefs on Thursday, and while he may be listed on the Week 2 injury report, his presence on the field Wednesday suggests that he'll be ready to play this Sunday against the Raiders. He played every snap in the season opener, piling up 273 passing yards and 122 rushing yards against the Kansas City defense.

Expected to be fine for Week 2
Jackson is a "little bit sore" but is fully expected to be available for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: After suffering a 27-20 loss to the Chiefs last Thursday in Week 1, the Ravens reconvened for an unofficial practice session Monday, but Jackson didn't participate. Due to the longer turnaround the Ravens will face for Week 2, Jackson's absence Monday looks to be mostly maintenance-related, as the coaching staff likely just wanted to give his body some more recovery time after he carried the ball 16 times in the season opener. The Ravens will release their first Week 2 practice report…read more

Doesn't practice Monday
Jackson did not participate in Monday's practice, and coach John Harbaugh declined to state a reason for the star quarterback's absence, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
Analysis: Harbaugh joked that the "injury report comes out Wednesday afternoon," so it sounds like an official update on Jackson's status won't arrive until then. Jackson didn't appear to sustain any injuries during last Thursday's season-opening loss to the Chiefs, meaning his absence from practice Monday may have been personal. Barring any further updates, it seems like the expectation should be that Jackson will be in attendance at Wednesday's practice.

Nearly pulls off comeback in opener
Jackson completed 26 of 41 passes for 273 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions and rushed 16 times for 122 yards in the Ravens' 27-20 loss to the Chiefs on Thursday. He also lost a fumble.
Analysis: Jackson's final numbers were certainly stellar from a fantasy perspective, but his passing wasn't as efficient as his final line implies, and he also couldn't convert on two final opportunities to tie the game. Jackson did demonstrate excellent chemistry with Isaiah Likely, who easily one-upped fellow tight end Mark Andrews by hauling in nine of Jackson's passes for 111 yards and the quarterback's one touchdown. However, Jackson frequently found himself pulling the ball down and running on his…read more

Not playing in preseason finale
Jackson is not in line to play in Saturday's preseason finale against the Packers, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: As a result, Jackson's next game action will occur Week 1 against the Chiefs on Thursday, Sept. 5. While the Ravens' franchise QB won't see any exhibition snaps, he will at least have an opportunity to compete against an opposing defense during Thursday's joint practice in Green Bay. As the coming campaign approaches, the 27-year-old is on track to maintain his status as a top-level fantasy QB, provided he can stay healthy.

Not likely to play Saturday
Jackson isn't expected to play in Saturday's preseason finale against the Packers, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Banner reports.
Analysis: It's no surprise that the Ravens aren't inclined to risk playing their franchise QB on Saturday, but Jackson will at least get some reps against a defense other than his own team's this week, with Baltimore and Green Bay scheduled to conduct a joint practice Thursday. As the coming campaign approaches, Jackson indicates that he's shed about 10 pounds since last season, with an eye toward increasing his agility and on-field energy level. As long as the 27-year-old can stay healthy in the coming…read more

Not suiting up Saturday
Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said Wednesday that Jackson will not play in Saturday's preseason game against the Falcons, Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Analysis: Jackson will sit out a second consecutive preseason contest, meaning Baltimore's road game against the Packers on Aug. 24 will be his final opportunity to handle exhibition reps. In the meantime, Josh Johnson is expected to start versus Atlanta, with Devin Leary and Emory Jones working behind him.

Won't play Friday
Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said Wednesday that Jackson won't suit up for Friday's preseason opener against the Eagles, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
Analysis: Harbaugh said that Josh Johnson will play Friday, and that Baltimore's starters will see action in the preseason, per Giana Han of TheBaltimoreBanner.com, just not versus Philadelphia. With two more exhibitions on deck after Friday, it's possible the bulk of the preseason action for the Ravens' first-team units could come in the team's final contest Aug. 24 versus Green Bay. Jackson missed a number of practices due to illness early in training camp but has been fully healthy since July 27.

Back at practice
Jackson (illness) returned to practice Saturday, Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Analysis: Jackson returned after missing four of the first five due to a prolonged illness. The two-time MVP signal caller is now poised to take the first-team reps for an offense that could be electric with the continual growth of young receivers Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman.

Again sidelined with illness
Jackson (illness) is not participating in practice Friday.
Analysis: Jackson is missing his fourth of five training camp practices due to an illness, after having returned to the field Thursday. Per the team, "continues to undergo further evaluation and receive care from our medical team." In Jackson's stead, Josh Johnson figures to again handle the bulk of first-team reps, with rookies Devin Leary and Emory Jones also potentially mixing in. The severity of the star quarterback's illness remains unclear.

Returns to field
Jackson (illness) returned to practice Wednesday, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.
Analysis: Jackson was sent home by the Ravens on Sunday before the team's session that day and missed practice both of the following two days prior to returning to the field. During his absence, Josh Johnson worked with the first-team offense, followed by rookies Devin Leary and Emory Jones. Now that Jackson is back in action, he'll be able to continue to build rapport with his pass catchers as well as his comfort in helming Baltimore's offense in Todd Monken's second year as coordinator.

Sent home from camp due to illness
Jackson won't practice Sunday and was sent home from training camp due to an illness.
Analysis: Sunday is the first day of Baltimore's training camp, and the team's star quarterback won't participate due to an illness. The severity of the issue isn't clear, but it seems unlikely that Jackson's status for Week 1 is in jeopardy.

Drops weight over offseason
Jackson said Wednesday that he dropped weight over the offseason in an effort to be more agile in 2024, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Jackson was listed at 215 pounds last season and 225 during the 2022 season. Earlier this month, Jackson indicated he was closer to 205 pounds, but it's unclear if that's his intended playing weight. An even more elusive Jackson would be dangerous to opposing defenses, and adding Derrick Henry and getting Mark Andrews back to full health after his season was derailed by a broken ankle could make the Baltimore offense even more lethal in 2024.

Joined by superstar RB
Jackson is getting help in the backfield via Derrick Henry, with whom the Ravens agreed to terms on a two-year, $16 million contract Tuesday, Grant Gordon of NFL.com reports.
Analysis: Jackson will form one of the league's most dangerous backfield tandems by allying with the 30-year-old, two-time rushing champion who spent the last eight seasons in Tennessee and could now finally give Baltimore a sledgehammer in the rushing game to complement the reigning MVP's elusiveness. The pair of Jackson and Henry could give the Ravens a new-look rushing attack finally capable of pushing the team over the edge, with big-play threat Keaton Mitchell (knee) providing a complementary boost.…read more

Wins second MVP Award
Jackson was named the Most Valuable Player on Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Jackson was the favorite for the award since the Ravens downed Brock Purdy and the 49ers in Week 16 in decisive fashion. His overall resume was deserving of the honor as well, as Jackson tallied 29 total touchdowns while racking up career-best marks in passing yards (3,678) and yards per attempt (8.0). It was the second time that he's been named MVP of the league, with the first coming in 2019.

Key errors in season-ending loss
Jackson completed 20 of 37 passes for 272 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the Ravens' 17-10 AFC Championship Game loss to the Chiefs on Sunday. He also rushed eight times for 54 yards and lost a fumble while catching one of his deflected passes for 13 yards.
Analysis: Jackson's final yardage numbers looked perfectly acceptable from a fantasy perspective, but his real-world impact on the game was both more muted and detrimental than those figures imply. The dynamic quarterback struggled with finding open targets against the Chiefs' suffocating coverage throughout the afternoon, and several of his rush attempts were the result of intense pressure from Kansas City. Jackson's second turnover was also critical, as he was picked off in the end zone with 6:54…read more

Four total touchdowns in win
Jackson completed 16 of 22 passes for 152 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Saturday's 34-10 win over the Texans. He rushed the ball 11 times for 100 yards and an additional two scores.
Analysis: Jackson and the rest of Baltimore's offense got off to a relatively slow start, as they didn't find the end zone until midway through the second quarter. However, he took over from there, throwing for touchdowns of three and 15 yards while also finding the end zone on the ground with rushes of 15 and eight yards. Jackson had thrown at least one interception in each his four postseason games entering Saturday's matchup, though he had no turnovers in the blowout win. He also now has at least 100…read more

Jackson won't play in Saturday's game against the Steelers, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: With the Ravens having secured the top seed in the AFC playoffs, Jackson will be rested in the team's regular-season finale. In his stead, Tyler Huntley will draw the start at quarterback this weekend, with Josh Johnson backing him up. Jackson -- the presumptive frontrunner for the NFL's MVP award -- will get an extended breather before the Ravens' postseason opener in the divisional round.

Remarkable numbers in marquee win
Jackson completed 18 of 21 passes for 321 yards with five touchdowns and no interceptions and added six rushes for 35 yards in the Ravens' 56-19 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.
Analysis: Jackson's numbers, which netted a perfect 158.3 QB rating, essentially tell the tale of what type of afternoon it was for him and the Ravens as a whole. The one-time league MVP continued making an airtight case for another run at the honor with his spectacular performance, which was punctuated by touchdown tosses of 20 yards to Justice Hill, 75 yards to Zay Flowers, 35 yards and seven yards to Isaiah Likely and four yards to Patrick Ricard.

Leads team past 49ers
Jackson completed 23 of 35 passes for 252 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Monday's 33-19 win over the 49ers. He added seven rushes for 45 yards.
Analysis: Baltimore ran a pass-heavy offense by their standard, as Jackson reached 30 pass attempts for only the seventh time this season despite playing from ahead for nearly the entire game. He responded with an efficient performance and his sixth multiple-passing touchdown effort of the campaign, which he connected on from six and nine yards away. While Jackson didn't need to use his rushing ability as much given the game script, he still narrowly missed out on 300 total yards. Given Brock Purdy's…read more

Modest passing numbers in win
Jackson completed 14 of 24 passes for 171 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 23-7 win over the Jaguars. He added 12 rushing attempts for 97 yards.
Analysis: Jackson finally broke through late in a low-scoring first half with a 16-yard touchdown pass to Isaiah Likely, which made up for an interception on the previous drive and put the Ravens up 10-0 with 1:12 remaining before halftime. The mobile quarterback and second-year tight end combined for another key play in the third quarter, as Jackson escaped a sack attempt and uncorked a 26-yard pass that Likely caught over two defenders at the 4-yard line.

Jackson completed 24 of 43 passes for 316 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 37-31 win over the Rams. He added 11 rushes for 70 yards.
Analysis: Jackson erupted in the win, topping 300 passing yards for the second time this season while also topping 40 passes for the first time on the campaign. He spread targets around evenly, finding each of Odell Beckham, Isaiah Likely and Zay Flowers for gains of at least 20 yards as well as touchdowns. Jackson was also active as a rusher, and he managed his highest yardage total on the ground since Week 3.

Good to go for Week 14

Analysis: Jackson missed his first practice of the season Thursday after falling ill, but he seemed to bounce back quickly from the ailment and appeared to be practicing Friday with his usual energy during the portion of the session that was open to the media. Though durability has been an issue for Jackson over the past two seasons, he's enjoyed one of the healthier campaigns of his career and should be fresh coming out of the Ravens' Week 13 bye.

Manages game in victory
Jackson completed 18 of 32 passes for 177 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chargers. He added 11 rushes for 39 yards.
Analysis: Jackson helped the Ravens to an early lead with a three-yard touchdown pass to Zay Flowers, but the offense largely stalled from there. Positively, Jackson avoided turnovers for the second consecutive game, and he continued to get plenty of opportunities as a rusher. He's done exactly what has been asked of him for much of the season, but Jackson has now failed to tally multiple touchdowns in eight of his 12 games to this point.

Dismisses concerns about ankle
Jackson said Tuesday that he doesn't anticipate his left ankle causing any complications for him during Sunday's game against the Chargers, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Jackson took every snap on offense in the Ravens' 34-20 win over the Bengals this past Thursday, despite going down in apparent pain and grabbing his left ankle late in the first quarter when he was tackled by linebacker Logan Wilson along the sideline. The signal-caller appeared to be limping at multiple points throughout the rest of the contest, but he ended up finishing with one of his better fantasy lines of the season (16 completions for 264 yards and two touchdowns, nine carries for 54…read more

Plays through ankle issue
Jackson, who visited the medical tent with an ankle injury late in the first quarter of Thursday night's 34-20 win over the Bengals, noted afterward that he'll "be good" for his team's Nov. 26 contest against the Chargers, Clifton Brown of the Ravens' official site reports.
Analysis: Despite getting his ankle checked out, Jackson was on the field for all 66 of the Ravens' snaps on offense, and with the extra time off he'll have ahead of Week 12 action, the QB's availability versus the Chargers shouldn't be impacted. The same can't be said for star tight end Mark Andrews, who sustained what is looking like a season-ending ankle issue Thursday. In that context, Baltimore's reserve TEs (Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar) as well as the team's WR corps will be called upon to help…read more

Jackson completed 16 of 26 passes for 264 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions and rushed nine times for 54 yards in the Ravens' 34-20 win over the Bengals on Thursday night.
Analysis: Jackson was highly efficient with his modest number of completions, posting his second-highest passing yardage total on his second-highest yards per attempt (10.2) of the campaign. Jackson tossed multiple touchdown passes for the fourth time this season as well, hitting Nelson Agholor and Rashod Bateman on second-quarter scoring tosses of 37 and 10 yards, respectively.

Day doomed by key pick
Jackson completed 13 of 23 passes for 223 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 33-31 loss to the Browns. He added eight rushes for 41 yards.
Analysis: The Ravens played with a lead throughout the game, allowing them to rely heavily on their rushing attack. As a result, volume was once again limited for Jackson; however, unlike in past games, he also mixed in some key mistakes. The most glaring was an interception midway through the fourth quarter when he threw a pick that was deflected at the line of scrimmage and returned for a touchdown. Jackson now has failed to tally multiple touchdowns in five of his last six games.

Modest output in blowout victory
Jackson completed 21 of 26 passes for 187 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 37-3 win over Seattle. He added 10 rushes for 60 yards.
Analysis: The Ravens were able to coast throughout much of the game after building up a 17-3 lead by halftime. As a result, Jackson had limited pass attempts and a similarly underwhelming fantasy fantasy performance. The positive was his production as a rusher, which marked the third time he's topped 60 rushing yards on the season.

Modest numbers in Week 8 win
Jackson completed 18 of 27 passes for 157 yards and one touchdown while adding five carries for 17 yards in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Cardinals.
Analysis: After accounting for four touchdowns in the previous game, Jackson wasn't asked to do much with Gus Edwards' three-touchdown performance leading the way for Baltimore's offense. The quarterback tied the game with a five-yard touchdown pass to Mark Andrews in the first quarter, kicking off a stretch of 24 unanswered Ravens points. Heading into a Week 9 home game against the Seahawks, Jackson has led the Ravens to a 6-2 record while posting a 9:3 TD:INT through the air and adding five rushing…read more

Four touchdowns against Detroit
Jackson completed 21 of 27 passes for 357 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 38-6 win over Detroit. He added nine rushes for 36 yards and an additional score.
Analysis: Jackson had no trouble leading the Baltimore offense against what had been considered one of the better defenses in the league entering the game. He capped the team's first offensive possession with a seven-yard rushing touchdown, then threw for scores of 12 and 11 yards before halftime.

Effective on ground in Week 6 win
Jackson completed 21 of 30 passes for 223 yards and a touchdown with one interception in Sunday's 24-16 win over the Titans. He added 62 rushing yards on 13 carries.
Analysis: While Baltimore struggled in the red zone -- Justin Tucker carried the offense with six field goals -- Jackson did hit Zay Flowers for a 10-yard score in the second quarter, and the quarterback was able to extend plays and drives with his legs as he led the Ravens in rushing. Jackson's 5:3 TD:INT through six games isn't much, but he's completed at least 70 percent of his passes in five of those contests, suggesting better passing numbers should lie ahead once he's fully comfortable with…read more

Held without score in loss
Jackson completed 22 of 38 passes for 236 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Steelers. He added six rushes for 45 yards.
Analysis: Jackson attempted a season-high 38 passes and missed his season-best yardage total by one yard. His pass catchers played a role in his inefficiency, as the Baltimore receiving corps had several key drops throughout the game. On the other hand, Jackson also had some mistakes of his own, most notably throwing an interception deep in Pittsburgh territory with a chance to clinch victory late in the fourth quarter. He also lost a fumble one possession later, which gave the Steelers a chance to run…read more

Two TDs apiece rushing and passing
Jackson completed 15 of 19 passes for 186 yards and two touchdowns while rushing nine times for 27 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 28-3 win over the Browns. He also committed two fumbles, losing one.
Analysis: Jackson scored a 10-yard rushing touchdown in the first quarter and added a two-yard touchdown run in the second quarter, as well as a seven-yard touchdown pass to Mark Andrews with 11 seconds remaining before halftime. An 18-yard touchdown pass to Andrews rounded out the scoring in the fourth quarter. Jackson has a 4:1 TD:INT and four rushing touchdowns heading into a Week 5 trip to Pittsburgh, but ball security has been a problem for the dual-threat quarterback, who has put the ball on the…read more

Big game as rusher
Jackson completed 22 of 31 pass attempts for 202 yards and no touchdowns in Sunday's 22-19 overtime loss to the Colts. He added 14 rushes for 101 yards and two touchdowns.
Analysis: Jackson completed his pass attempts at a high rate, though he wasn't aggressive in pushing the ball down the field. Instead, his explosive plays came on the ground as he accounted for both of the Ravens' touchdowns with his legs, scampering into the end zone from eight and 10 yards away. It was expected that Baltimore's passing attack would be improved under new offensive coordinator Todd Monken, and while that has yet to occur, Jackson still has multiple touchdowns in two of his first three…read more

Not on injury report
Jackson (hand) isn't listed on the Wednesday's injury report ahead of Sunday's home game against Indianapolis.
Analysis: Jackson suffered a stinger in his left hand toward the end of a 27-24 win over the Bengals this past Sunday, but he didn't express any concern about the injury when discussing it with reporters after the game. His absence from the Week 3 injury report entirely should erase any concern fantasy managers might have had about his health.

Throws two TDs to beat Bengals
Jackson completed 24 of 33 passes for 237 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Bengals. He added 12 rushing attempts for 54 yards.
Analysis: Jackson suffered a stinger in his left hand late in the game, per Jamison Hensley of ESPN, but he told reporters after the game that he's fine and flexed his hands as evidence. The dual-threat quarterback was happy to have favorite target Mark Andrews (quadriceps) back, as Andrews led the Ravens with eight targets, including a three-yard touchdown in the third quarter. Jackson's other touchdown pass was a 17-yarder to Nelson Agholor to take a 27-17 lead in the fourth. Assuming Jackson's…read more

Quiet day in Week 1 win
Jackson completed 17 of 22 passes for 169 yards with no touchdowns and one interception and rushed six times for 38 yards in the Ravens' 25-9 win over the Texans on Sunday. He also committed two fumbles, losing one.
Analysis: Jackson was certainly efficient, but the offseason talk of the Ravens being more pass-oriented never really came to fruition with Baltimore mostly in control from the middle of the third quarter onward. When he did put the ball up, Jackson displayed impressive chemistry with rookie Zay Flowers, who he connected with on a team-high nine occasions. Jackson also hit Odell Beckham and Rashod Bateman for another five completions, but his target pool was significantly narrow otherwise. With No. 1…read more

Expects less running with new OC
Jackson said Thursday that he expects "less running and more throwing" under new offensive coordinator Todd Monken, ESPN.com's Jamison Hensley reports.
Analysis: It's not exactly a secret, after the Ravens parted ways with long-time, run-first OC Greg Roman and added WRs Odell Beckham and Zay Flowers. The new coordinator, Monken, spent four seasons with Tampa Bay (2016-18) and Cleveland (2019) in the same role and oversaw offenses that attempted 36.1, 37.8, 39.1 and 33.7 passes per game (Jackson's never averaged more than 31.8).

Jackson signed his five-year, $260 million contract extension with the Ravens on Thursday.
Analysis: Baltimore and Jackson agreed to terms on the five-year extension, which reportedly includes $185 million in guarantees, just prior to the start of the 2023 NFL Draft, and both sides have now made the deal official. The team then selected rookie wideout Zay Flowers in the first round, adding another hopeful boost to a wide receiver room that also saw Odell Beckham signed to a one-year deal, and will get Rashod Bateman (foot) back from injury.

Still in team's plans, per DeCosta
Ravens GM Eric DeCosta reiterated Thursday that he wants to sign Jackson to a long-term deal and believes the quarterback is "the right player for this team," ESPN's Jamison Hensley reports.
Analysis: It's no secret the Ravens hope to keep Jackson; they just haven't been willing to give him the contract he wants. He's also been unable to find it from another team, perhaps in part because the non-exclusive franchise tag would require the loss of two first-round picks if the Ravens were to not match an offer sheet. The team has until July 17 to work out a long-term deal with Jackson, who has yet to sign the franchise tender and thus won't be at the start of the offseason program to learn new…read more

The Ravens assigned their franchise tag to Jackson (knee) on Tuesday.
Analysis: In a statement released by the team, general manager Eric DeCosta noted that the Ravens plan to continue to negotiate with Jackson in hopes of reaching a long-term deal with the quarterback this offseason. Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, the $32.4 million franchise tag is non-exclusive, which means that the signal-caller can negotiate with other teams. The Ravens, however, retain the right to match any offer sheet Jackson signs, or alternatively accept two first-round draft picks as compensation.

Team optimistic about new deal
Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta said Wednesday that he remains optimistic the team will reach a long-term extension with Jackson (knee), Clifton Brown of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: DeCosta and head coach John Harbaugh made statements in support of retaining Jackson in press conferences on Wednesday, and both offered similar comments in January about the quarterback after the Ravens were eliminated from the playoffs. At this stage of the offseason, the two sides seem far apart in contract talks, but the Ravens have made it clear they'll use the franchise tag on Jackson if it comes to that.

He clarified his health in back-to-back tweets, writing, "I've suffered a PCL Grade 2 sprain on the borderline of a strain 3.

Analysis: Jackson hasn't practiced in any fashion since suffering a PCL sprain of his left knee in Baltimore's Week 13 win over Denver, putting his availability up in the air until he's able to start taking reps again. Though the Ravens believe that Jackson will be able to play Week 17 against the Steelers if he's able to practice in some capacity, the dual-threat quarterback will first need to prove that his knee doesn't hinder him when he stops, starts and cuts before he's reintegrated into drills.

May not play again until Week 16
Jackson (knee), who is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game at Pittsburgh, may not be cleared to play until the Ravens' Week 16 game against the Falcons on Dec. 24, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Jackson is tending to a sprained PCL in his left knee, an injury he sustained in last week's win over the Broncos. The quarterback was given an estimated recovery timeline of 1-to-3 weeks, so Schefter's report would seem to suggest the signal-caller is trending toward the back end of that range. After failing to practice this week, Jackson will most likely be inactive for Sunday's contest, after Baltimore called up Anthony Brown from the practice squad with the expectation that he'll serve as…read more

Gets doubtful designation
Jackson (knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
Analysis: Jackson hasn't been completely ruled out, but all indications are that he'll miss his first game of the season after failing to practice all week. Baltimore won't need to make significant adjustments to its game plan, as Tyler Huntley -- who came on in relief of the injured Jackson in last week's win over the Broncos -- can run the same style of offense thanks to his dual-threat ability. Jackson is dealing with a PCL sprain and is expected to face a recovery timeline of 1-to-3 weeks, so he…read more

Analysis: With Jackson not participating in practice for a third straight day, Tyler Huntley appears to be trending toward getting his first start of the season Sunday against the Steelers. The Ravens will issue their final Week 14 injury report later Friday, which will reveal whether Jackson is listed as questionable, doubtful or out for the contest.

Sits out Thursday's practice
Jackson (knee) didn't take part in Thursday's practice, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: With two straight absences from practice to begin the week, Jackson doesn't look on track to be available for Sunday's game in Pittsburgh while he contends with a PCL sprain of his left knee. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Jackson's injury typically entails a 1-to-3-week recovery timeline, which supports head coach John Harbaugh's comments from Monday indicating that the star quarterback is "less likely" to suit up against the Steelers. Tyler Huntley, who came on in relief after Jackson's…read more

Jackson (knee) isn't practicing Wednesday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: While the Ravens haven't officially ruled Jackson out for Week 14, his recent diagnosis of a PCL sprain in his left knee makes Tyler Huntley the expected starter this Sunday in Pittsburgh, and perhaps for a game or two beyond that. Any practice participation from Jackson this week would be a surprise, after head coach John Harbaugh deemed the quarterback "week-to-week" Monday.

Has sprained PCL
Jackson has been diagnosed with a PCL sprain in his left knee, which will require 1-to-3 weeks in order to recover, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Jackson didn't log any snaps after picking up a knee injury on the last play of the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Broncos. The issue initially was termed a mild left knee sprain, but testing didn't reveal its extent until Tuesday.

Week-to-week, per coach
Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said Monday that Jackson (knee) is "week-to-week," and added that the quarterback is less likely to play Sunday against the Steelers, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Analysis: Jackson was knocked out of this past Sunday's 10-9 win over the Broncos due to a knee injury, and while his initial test results appear to be encouraging, the star quarterback may be trending more towards doubtful than questionable at this point. He's believed to be dealing with a mild left knee sprain, but there hasn't been official confirmation on a diagnosis.

May have mild knee sprain
Jackson is believed to have suffered a mild left knee sprain in Sunday's 10-9 win over the Broncos, but a firm diagnosis for his injury won't arrive until the results of his MRI on Monday are made available, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Jackson suffered the injury on the final play of the first quarter of Sunday's game, when Broncos defender Jonathan Cooper landed on top of him on a sack. The signal-caller was evaluated in a medical tent on the sideline before heading to the locker room, with the Ravens then ruling him out for the day coming out of halftime.

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said after Sunday's 10-9 win over the Broncos that the apparently left knee injury Jackson suffered in the contest isn't season-ending.
Analysis: Harbaugh added that the quarterback is slated to undergo further testing Monday, with added context regarding Jackson's status to arrive in the coming days. At this stage, it's too early to say whether Jackson will be deemed day-to-day or week-to-week, but if he ends up missing time, Tyler Huntley would be in line to serve as the team's signal-caller.

Racks up 343 total yards
Jackson completed 16 of 32 passes for 254 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 28-27 loss to Jacksonville. He added 14 rush attempts for 89 yards.
Analysis: Jackson took a while to get going, as he managed only 88 passing yards and 37 rushing yards through two quarters. However, he racked up yardage in two scoring drives that concluded in the fourth quarter, the latter of which he capped with a 12-yard touchdown toss. Jackson's work on the ground was particularly positive for fantasy purposes, as it was his highest total since Week 3 despite the fact that he was on the injury report for a hip problem throughout the week.

Jackson completed 24 of 33 passes for 209 yards with no touchdowns and one interception while adding 11 carries for 31 yards and a touchdown in the Ravens' 13-3 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
Analysis: Jackson and the entire Ravens offense looked out of sorts most of the afternoon, but the star signal-caller was able to put together a serviceable fantasy performance overall with the help of a tough one-yard touchdown run just past the midway point of the fourth quarter. Jackson had top target Mark Andrews back from a shoulder injury as well and connected with him on six occasions for 63 yards, but he notably displayed his greatest rapport with journeyman Demarcus Robinson (nine receptions,…read more

Jackson (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Panthers.
Analysis: Jackson missed Friday's practice after coming down with a non-COVID-19-related ailment and was listed as questionable heading into the weekend, but he demonstrated enough progress over the subsequent 48 hours to gain clearance for the contest. The Ravens haven't provided any indication that Jackson will be limited as a result of the illness, and he'll benefit from having his top pass catcher - tight end Mark Andrews (shoulder/knee) - back in the lineup this week following a one-game absence.

Jackson completed 12 of 22 passes for 133 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Monday's 27-13 win over the Saints. He added 11 rushes for 82 yards.

He slowed down through the air from there, but he found success with his legs, ripping off runs of 17, 16 and 12 yards. The end result was his seventh game this season with over 50 rushing yards.

Baltimore's defense also pitched in five sacks, allowing Jackson to attempt his fewest passes of the season.

Jackson completed 17 of 32 passes for 210 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Giants. He added 77 rushing yards on seven carries.
Analysis: Jackson connected with Mark Andrews regularly throughout the day, but he struggled to consistently connect with any other pass catcher in the absence of Rashod Bateman (foot). The end result was only 6.6 yards per attempt, though he did manage to salvage his stat line with 77 rushing yards.

Jackson also broke off several productive runs throughout the game, but Baltimore's failure to score a single second-half point is partly an indictment on the star quarterback, who threw both his interceptions in the fourth quarter.

Analysis: It's difficult to envision the Ravens losing a game in which Jackson put up the numbers he did Sunday, but that's exactly what came to pass courtesy of the Dolphins' jaw-dropping 28-point fourth quarter. Jackson was outplayed on the stat sheet by Tua Tagovailoa and his six touchdown passes, yet the 2019 MVP was the star of the first three quarters with touchdown tosses of 75, one and 12 yards to Rashod Bateman, Mark Andrews and Demarcus Robinson, respectively.

No contract extension by deadline
Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta announced Friday that Jackson and the team have not come to terms on a long-term contract extension, setting up the quarterback to play out the 2022 season on the final year of his rookie deal.
Analysis: Without an extension by Friday's self-imposed deadline, Jackson is primed to play out the 2022 campaign on his fifth-year option. The star quarterback's rookie deal will have fully run its course next March, perhaps positioning him for a franchise tag in 2023. In any case, this season will see Jackson working to lead an aerial attack headlined by TE Mark Andrews and WR Rashod Bateman, with a rushing game that may not have J.K.

Jackson won't play in Saturday's exhibition against Washington, with the Ravens holding him out all preseason ahead of a Week 1 matchup with the Jets, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Analysis: The Ravens played it safe with Jackson, who put on muscle in the offseason and figures to lead a run-first offense after last year's squad shifted more toward the pass. The team is counting on TE Mark Andrews and WR Rashod Bateman to pull a lot of weight in the passing game, with Jackson's ancillary weapons mostly being young, unproven mid-round picks.

Won't play this week
Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said Jackson and "some of the other starters" won't play in Sunday's preseason game at Arizona.
Analysis: Jackson will watch from the sideline for a second straight week, leaving the Ravens' Aug. 27 matchup with the Commanders as his lone opportunity for an appearance this preseason. It won't be shocking if the Ravens hold him out of that one as well, considering he's a veteran quarterback with a returning offensive coordinator (Greg Roman) and no new pass catchers of note.

Not playing preseason opener
Jackson will not play in the preseason opener against the Titans, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Analysis: It comes as no surprise that head coach John Harbaugh would hold the dynamic dual-threat quarterback out of the first preseason game, as he is likely trying to protect the engine behind the offense to avoid any risk of injury. Jackson's favorite target Mark Andrews will also miss the game among a handful of other veterans, leaving the second preseason game Aug. 21 against the Cardinals as the most likely 2022 debut for a number of key Ravens players.

Jackson reported to the Ravens' minicamp at 220 pounds after adding upwards of 15 pounds of muscle mass during the offseason.
Analysis: The added strength is notable for Jackson as a quarterback who relies heavily on his rushing ability to threaten defenses. He missed the final four games of the 2021 season due to an ankle injury suffered in Cleveland, and the added bulk could help Jackson hold up over the course of the 17-game season.

Analysis: Set to earn a $23 million salary in 2022 -- the final year of his rookie deal -- Jackson has been vocal about his desire for a long-term contract. Though the Ravens have yet to work out an extension with the 25-year-old, it apparently won't prompt him to hold out. Jackson was sidelined down the stretch late in the 2021 season due to a persistent right ankle injury, but he appears to be back at full strength as the Ravens gear up for the 2022 campaign.

Season hindered by injury
Jackson (ankle) finished the season completing 64.4 percent of his passes for 2,882 yards, 16 touchdowns and 13 interceptions in 12 games. He added 133 carries for 767 yards and two scores.
Analysis: Jackson endured a health-challenged season, with an illness sidelining him for a game and a right ankle injury keeping him out for the final month. When he was available, Jackson showed improvement as a passer, especially in terms of generating explosive plays; his 41 completions of 20-plus yards nearly matched what he did in 15 games during his 2019 MVP season. He also led to Ravens to comeback wins from double-digit deficits against the Chiefs, Colts and Vikings. Still, it wasn't a perfect…read more

Won't start Sunday
Coach John Harbaugh announced Friday that Tyler Huntley will start Sunday's regular-season finale against the Steelers. Jackson (ankle) hasn't played since Week 14.
Analysis: Per Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun, Harbaugh didn't update Jackson's injury status, but given that the QB won't start Sunday's contest, it looks like the Ravens are likely to officially rule Jackson out once the team's final Week 18 injury report is posted.

Jackson (ankle) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: As Hensley points out, Jackson only has practiced once in the past 25 days, so at this stage the QB's status for Sunday's game against the Steelers is cloudy. If Jackson remains sidelined this weekend, Tyler Huntley would be in line to start the Ravens' regular-season finale.

Jackson (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Jackson's continued absence from practice isn't a great sign for his Week 18 availability, though head coach John Harbaugh said Monday that the quarterback still has a chance to make it back for Sunday's season finale against the Steelers.

Chance to return in Week 18
Coach John Harbaugh said Monday that Jackson (ankle) has a chance to play Sunday against Pittsburgh, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Harbaugh said that Jackson has been pushing to play recently, but he was forced to miss a third consecutive game in Sunday's loss to the Rams. The 24-year-old was limited in last Wednesday's practice before being kept off the field Thursday and Friday, and he'll likely need to log more practice time ahead of Week 18 if he hopes to return against the Steelers. If Jackson remains sidelined, Tyler Huntley would be in line for another start.

Jackson (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Rams, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Unfortunately, Jackson was limping badly during that session while battling the bone bruise in his right ankle, prompting the Ravens to hold him out of practices Thursday and Friday before listing him as questionable for the Week 17 game.

Scuffles through ragged night
Jackson completed 26 of 43 passes for 238 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the Ravens' 22-10 loss to the Dolphins on Thursday night. He also rushed nine times for 39 yards.
Analysis: In what was a fairly sizable upset, Jackson came up small against an aggressive Dolphins defense that sacked him on four occasions and hit him seven times overall. The 24-year-old South Florida native also short-circuited the Ravens' last chance at a possible comeback when he was picked off in the end zone with 47 seconds remaining on a pass intended for Rashod Bateman.

Accrues 386 total yards in win
Jackson completed 27 of 41 passes for 266 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions in the Ravens' 34-31 overtime victory against the Vikings on Sunday. He also rushed 21 times for 120 yards.
Analysis: Jackson's final tally underscores how integral he was to a wild victory that saw the Ravens come back from a 24-10 second-half deficit to notch an overtime victory. His work on the ground included season highs in rush attempts and yardage, while his three scoring tosses qualified as his second-highest tally in that category on the campaign. The star signal-caller was effective in Baltimore's game-winning drive in overtime as well, kicking off the march with a 20-yard connection to Marquise…read more

Contained by Bengals in loss
Jackson completed 15 of 31 passes for 257 yards and a touchdown while adding 88 yards on 12 rushing attempts in Sunday's 41-17 loss to the Bengals.
Analysis: Despite racking up 63 rushing yards in the first half, Jackson didn't lead the offense into the end zone until Devonta Freeman's one-yard rushing touchdown 1:55 before halftime. Jackson added a 39-yard touchdown pass to Marquise Brown on the third play of the third quarter to take a 17-13 lead, but the Bengals responded with 28 unanswered points. Backup Tyler Huntley entered down the stretch as the Ravens waved the white flag, but Jackson will be back under center when the Ravens return to…read more

Modest passing performance in win
Jackson completed 19 of 27 passes for 167 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 34-6 win over the Chargers. He added 51 yards on eight rushing attempts.
Analysis: The Ravens raced out to a 17-0 lead but Jackson briefly let the Chargers back into the game by throwing an interception one play after Baltimore's defense intercepted Justin Herbert. Los Angeles got into the end zone two plays later to cut into Baltimore's lead before halftime, but Jackson bounced back in the third quarter with a nine-yard touchdown pass to Mark Andrews. With the defense and running game dominating, Jackson's pedestrian passing performance didn't keep the Ravens from blowing…read more

Cleared to play Sunday
Jackson (illness) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chargers after practicing fully Friday.
Analysis: Jackson's Week 6 status came into focus after he missed Thursday's practice, but his full participation Friday paves the way for the QB to start against the 4-1 Chargers on Sunday. Though wideout Sammy Watkins (hamstring) won't be available this weekend, it's expected that promising first-rounder Rashod Bateman (groin) will be activated off IR in advance of the contest. For his part, Jackson will look to build off a big fantasy effort in Baltimore's Week 5 overtime win over the Colts, in which…read more

Analysis: As a result, Jackson's status will be worth monitoring closely as Sunday's game against the Chargers approaches.

Jackson (undisclosed) wasn't present during the media-access portion of Thursday's practice, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Jackson wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, so it will be interesting to see how he's officially listed by the Ravens following Thursday's practice.

Record-setting comeback victory
Jackson completed 37 of 43 passes for 442 yards and four touchdowns and rushed 14 times for 62 yards but lost a fumble during Monday night's 31-25 overtime victory over the Colts. He also threw a pair of successful two-point conversions.
Analysis: Jackson actually got off to a slow start and misfired on a passing touchdown just before halftime. He then had a seemingly costly fumble near the Colts goal line on Baltimore's opening drive of the second half, but Jackson rallied in spectacular fashion. He found Marquise Brown for a 43-yard touchdown on the next series, then had consecutive scores and two-point conversions to tight end Mark Andrews to overcome a 16-point fourth-quarter deficit and force overtime. From there, Jackson finished…read more

Avoids Week 5 injury report
Jackson practiced fully Thursday and isn't listed on Baltimore's Week 5 injury report, suggesting the back issue he managed last week is no longer much of a concern, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports. "I'm 101 percent," Jackson said.
Analysis: The back injury sidelined Jackson for two practices last week and resulted in him taking a questionable designation into Sunday, but he looked plenty healthy in Baltimore's 23-7 win over the previously unbeaten Broncos. Though he took more of a back seat than usual as a runner with seven carries for 28 yards, Jackson completed 22 of 37 attempts while clearing 300 passing yards for the second time in his career. With an extra day to rest up this week with Baltimore hosting Indianapolis on Monday…read more

Tops 300 yards in win
Jackson completed 22 of 37 passes for 316 yards and a touchdown while adding 28 rushing yards on seven carries in Sunday's 23-7 win over the Broncos.
Analysis: He showed off his arm strength on the TD, as Marquise Brown laid out in the end zone to haul in a 49-yard heave from Jackson in the second quarter that put the Ravens in the lead for good. The 316 yards were not only a season high for Jackson, it represented his first 300-yard performance in over two years (Week 1 of 2019 against Miami). Jackson will look for more success through the air in Week 5 at home against the Colts.

Though Jackson has been hit an NFL-high 44 times, including 12 times in Week 3 versus the Lions, per ESPN.com, the QB, who leads Baltimore with 251 yards on the ground to date, heads into Week 4 action leading the NFL in yards per rush (7.2) and yards per…read more

Analysis: Jackson was unable to practice Wednesday and Thursday due to the injury, but he returned for a full practice Friday. With that in mind, Jackson should be able to suit up against a Broncos defense that has taken advantage of relatively favorable matchups through three games. Jackson, meanwhile, has racked up 761 passing yards and 251 rushing yards while accounting for five touchdowns in three contests.

Anderson adds that the team would have more concern about Jackson's availability for Sunday's game in Denver if the quarterback is unable to practice again Friday, so he'll ideally return to the field for the final session of the week as a limited participant, at the very least.

Analysis: That said, Roman noted that the team is in "wait-and-see" mode in terms of the QB practicing Thursday. With that in mind, we'll circle back on Jackson's status once the Ravens re-take the field, but for now at least, his availability for Sunday's game against the Broncos does not appear to be in any danger.

Analysis: Shaffer notes that Jackson "took a couple good hits to the upper body" during this past Sunday's win over the Lions. At this stage, however, there's nothing to suggest that the quarterback's availability for a Week 4 game in Denver is in any danger. A return to the field Thursday in any capacity would support that notion.

Misses practice with soreness
Jackson was held out of Wednesday's practice due to general soreness, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Jackson appears to have come out of Sunday's dramatic win over the Lions with some bumps and bruises, but there hasn't been any suggestion from the Ravens that he's in danger of missing a Week 4 game at Denver. Had it not been for Marquise Brown's trio of drops, Jackson might have finished last week's game with 300-plus yards and multiple touchdowns. He's certainly been explosive this year, averaging 8.7 yards per pass attempt and a league-high 7.2 yards per carry.

Limited to one TD in win
Jackson (illness) completed 16 of 31 passes for 287 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Lions. He added 58 yards on seven rushing attempts.
Analysis: Jackson struggled for most of the first half, though a trio of costly drops by Marquise Brown certainly didn't help. He finally connected with a wide open Devin Duvernay in the back of the end zone for a 19-yard touchdown 3:15 before halftime to take a 10-0 lead into the break. Baltimore's offense moved the ball well in the second half but had to settle for field goals, including Justin Tucker's game-winning 66-yarder as time expired, which Jackson set up with a 36-yard pass to Sammy Watkins to…read more

Analysis: There was never much doubt after a return to full practice participation Friday, though the Ravens did list Jackson as questionable on their final injury report. He gets one of his better matchups of the season, albeit with standout LT Ronnie Stanley (ankle) inactive for a second straight week. Jackson overcame Stanley's absence as well as a pair of interceptions in the Week 2 win over Kansas City, with his 16 carries for 107 yards and two TDs leading the Ravens to a narrow victory.

Mounts second-half comeback
Jackson completed 18 of 26 pass attempts for 239 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions while rushing 16 times for 107 yards and two more scores in Sunday's 36-35 win over the Chiefs.
Analysis: It was a tale of two halves for Jackson, as he got off to an ominous start when a first-drive pass was picked off by Tyrann Mathieu for a touchdown. The dual-threat quarterback had just 75 yards passing and two interceptions going into the second half, but he promptly put the team on his shoulder pads and outdueled Patrick Mahomes, even tossing in an incredible jumping touchdown throw to Marquise Brown.

Jackson completed 19 of 30 passes for 235 yards and a touchdown, and rushed 12 times for 86 yards but lost two of three fumbles in Monday night's 33-27 overtime loss to the Raiders.
Analysis: Jackson had an uneven performance to begin the campaign. With a few unfamiliar skill-position players around him, his timing appeared off on a number of passes and handoffs, yet he still electrified at times with his signature improvisation ability. His 10-yard touchdown pass to Marquise Brown came after he evaded three pass-rushers in the pocket, then Jackson made a breathtaking 28-yard run to set up a go-ahead field goal late. However, he twice coughed the ball up while facing pressure,…read more

Leads FG drive
Jackson completed three of four passes for 29 yards in Saturday's preseason game against Washington.
Analysis: Jackson played one drive, which ended with a J.K. Dobbins injury followed by a missed field goal by the backup kicker. Jackson emerged unscathed, completing one pass to Dobbins and two others to Mark Andrews. Jackson and Andrews may need to put the Baltimore offense on their shoulders Week 1 at Las Vegas, as the Ravens already had a slew of injuries at wide receiver before losing another playmaker (Dobbins) in Saturday's game.

Jackson is likely to play in Saturday's preseason game at Washington, as he's one of just two healthy quarterbacks on Baltimore's roster after the team released Kenji Bahar on Tuesday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

The Ravens will probably give the backup more snaps, but it makes sense to give Jackson a bit of run after he missed the first two games of the preseason.

The Ravens' star quarterback returned from the reserve/COVID-19 list Aug. 6, and while he seems to be healthy, the team seemingly plans to keep Jackson on the sideline Saturday night.

Offensive coordinator Greg Roman says the Ravens have built a more balanced attack around Jackson after adding WRs Rashod Bateman and Tylan Wallace in the 2021 NFL Draft, Clifton Brown of the team's official website reports.
Analysis: When an NFL offensive coordinator discusses 'balance', he's usually referring to establishing a run game to complement the pass. In this case, it's the other way around, with Jackson (among others) expressing frustration at the increasingly predictable nature of Baltimore's offense.

Gets fifth-year option
The Ravens are picking up the fifth-year option on Jackson's rookie contract, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Jackson is now scheduled for a $23.016 million base salary in 2022, though it's guaranteed for injury only. The option gives Baltimore more leverage in negotiations on a long-term contract, which seems to be the ultimate goal for both parties. Offseason additions Rashod Bateman and Sammy Watkins give Jackson the best receiving corps he's ever had, while the Ravens' offensive line looks shaky for the first time in his young career.

Jackson has a new option in the passing game with Baltimore's recent addition of Sammy Watkins, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Analysis: Baltimore missed out on the top-of-market receivers, instead bringing in Watkins after two weeks of free agency. The signing isn't likely to revolutionize the Ravens offense, but Watkins should at least pose more of a downfield threat than Willie Snead, who recently left Baltimore to sign with Las Vegas. While Watkins now joins Marquise Brown and Mark Andrews as the Ravens' main receiving threats, Jackson could get another weapon from the NFL Draft at the end of April.

The 2018 first-round pick has delivered a playoff berth in each of his three seasons under center in Baltimore, in addition to earning the NFL's MVP award in 2019. There's plenty of recent precedent for young franchise players signing such contracts, with Patrick Mahomes (10-year, $503 million) and Deshaun Watson…read more

Out with concussion
Jackson suffered a concussion and won't return to Saturday's divisional-round playoff game at Buffalo.
Analysis: The 2018 first-round pick suffered the concussion on the last play of the third quarter when his head hit the ground hard while being tackled after a desperation throwaway on a broken play. Jackson completed 14 of 24 passes for 162 yards with one interception and rushed nine times for 34 yards before leaving the contest. Replacement quarterback Tyler Huntley will need to overcome a 17-3 deficit with less than six minutes remaining in the fourth quarter if the Ravens are to advance to the AFC…read more

Exits with possible concussion
Jackson left Saturday's divisional-round playoff game against the Bills to be evaluated for a concussion.
Analysis: The 24-year-old had to chase down an erratic snap on the final play of the third quarter, and his head hit the ground hard while being tackled on a desperation throwaway. It's a disaster scenario for the Ravens, which comes only a couple plays after Taron Johnson picked off Jackson in the end zone and returned it 101 yards for a touchdown. Tyler Huntley will try to engineer a comeback for Baltimore with Jackson going through the concussion protocol.

Leads Ravens to first playoff win
Jackson completed 17 of 24 passes for 179 yards with no touchdowns and one interception while adding 16 rushes for 136 yards and a score in Sunday's 20-13 wild-card win over the Titans.
Analysis: Jackson earned the first playoff victory of his career with a stellar performance on the ground. The signal-caller came up big on a 3rd-and-9 late in the second quarter, turning the jets on to score from 48 yards. That play helped compensate for a badly underthrown interception earlier. With the weight of securing a postseason win now off his shoulders, Jackson will turn his attention to the AFC divisional round, where his opponent is yet to be determined.

Efficient to close regular season
Jackson completed 10 of 18 pass attempts for 113 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in the Ravens' Week 17 win over the Bengals. He added 11 rushes for 97 yards.
Analysis: Jackson torched the Bengals with both his arm and legs, completing touchdowns of 43, 18 and nine yards. He also ripped off four runs of 10 yards or more, surpassing 1,000 rushing yards for the second consecutive season. Though Jackson wasn't able to replicate his exceptionally efficient 2019 campaign from a touchdown perspective, he still managed to top 30 total touchdowns. He'll look to earn a playoff victory next, something he failed to do in the 2019 season.

Pair of TDs in big win
Jackson completed 17 of 26 passes for 183 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Ravens' 27-13 win over the Giants on Sunday. He also rushed 13 times for 80 yards and lost a fumble.
Analysis: Despite his lost fumble, Jackson played an integral role in the two-score victory, connecting with Marquise Brown and Dez Bryant for his scoring tosses and checking in with the second-most rushing yards on the afternoon for the Ravens. Jackson has now thrown multiple touchdowns in three of the past four games, and he's gained at least 80 yards on the ground on three occasions during that stretch as well.

Tallies four total touchdowns
Jackson completed 17 of 22 pass attempts for 243 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in Week 15 against the Jaguars. He added 35 rushing yards and a touchdown on the ground.
Analysis: Jackson got off to a poor start by throwing an interception on the Ravens' first offensive possession. However, he had little trouble producing from there, connecting for passing scores of four, 11 and three yards to three different receivers. For the third straight week, Jackson also found the end zone with his legs. While Jackson has failed to offer his 2019 upside for much of the 2020 season, he now has at least three total touchdowns in each of his last three contests. He'll draw a Week 16…read more

Leads dramatic comeback victory
Jackson completed 11 of 17 passes for 163 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 47-42 win over the Browns. He also rushed nine times for 124 yards and two scores.
Analysis: Jackson was sensational in a thrilling divisional encounter that saw him play hero. After rushing into the end zone twice during the first half and leading Baltimore to a 14-point advantage early in the third quarter, Jackson was suddenly forced to the locker room while dealing with cramps. He remained unavailable until backup Trace McSorley went down prior to a fourth-and-five with under two minutes remaining and the Ravens down by a score.

Scores three times in return
Jackson completed 12 of 17 pass attempts for 107 yards, two touchdowns and an interception, adding 94 yards and a rushing TD over 13 carries during Tuesday's 34-17 win against Dallas.
Analysis: After being unable to participate in last Wednesday's loss to the Steelers because of his presence on the reserve/COVID-19 list, the 2019 MVP returned to action with his first three-TD performance since facing Washington in Week 4. Jackson threw an interception off the hands of Marquise Brown to close Baltimore's opening offensive possession of the night, but he responded by capping the Ravens' subsequent seven-play drive with a 37-yard TD run through the gut of Dallas' defense.

Jackson is active for Tuesday's game against the Cowboys.
Analysis: Following a week-and-a-half stint on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Jackson will be back in action for the first time since Nov. 22 against the Titans. With the 12th-ranked Dallas pass defense on the other side and without two of its top receiving weapons -- Mark Andrews and Willie Snead remain on the COVID list -- the Ravens may ride an intact backfield and Jackson's legs for most of this Week 13 contest.

According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Jackson (illness) is eligible to be activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Sunday.
Analysis: The timing is key for Jackson, who tested positive for COVID-19 on Nov. 26. Sunday will mark 11 days since then, and he'll have two more days to ready himself for Tuesday's game against the Cowboys. On Thursday, coach John Harbaugh told Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com that any decision to activate Jackson is dependent on the medical staff and not his office, so the quarterback still needs to pass the necessary protocols in order to return Week 13.

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh admitted that he was unsure if Jackson (illness) would be cleared to return from the reserve/COVID-19 list ahead of the team's next game Tuesday against the Cowboys, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Jackson is believed to be recovering well since he was revealed to have tested positive for the coronavirus Nov. 26, but Harbaugh reiterated that a timeline for the quarterback's return to the roster will be a medical decision and not a coaching one. Assuming Jackson began quarantining immediately after his positive test, he would be eligible to return to the team in 10 days if his subsequent tests return negative.

Jackson (illness) has been officially placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
Analysis: Per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Jackson's positive COVID-19 test came up during Thursday's round of testing. With that timing in mind, the QB won't play in Tuesday's rescheduled game against the Steelers, but it's plausible that Jackson could be cleared in time for Week 13 action, with Baltimore now slated to face Dallas on Monday, Dec. 7.

Limited to one touchdown
Jackson completed 17 of 29 passes for 186 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Week 11 against Tennessee. He added 13 rushes for 51 yards on the ground.
Analysis: The Ravens scored on three of their first four possessions of the game, though two stalled inside the 10-yard line and another was capped by a J.K. Dobbins rushing touchdown. That limited Jackson to one total touchdown, which came on a 31-yard strike to Mark Andrews. Even so, Jackson maintained his production on the ground, topping 50 rushing yards for the eighth time in 10 games this season.

Over 300 combined yards in loss
Jackson completed 24 of 34 pass attempts for 249 yards, two touchdowns and an interception while adding 55 rushing yards on 11 carries in Sunday's 23-17 loss to New England.
Analysis: Jackson fell short in the battle of former Heisman and NFL MVP award winners, turning the ball over on downs on Baltimore's final drive. The 249 passing yards were the second-highest total for the 23-year-old this season, and he was able to accomplish the feat in wet and windy conditions at Foxborough.

Scores third rushing TD
Jackson completed 19 of 23 passes for 170 yards and carried the ball 13 times for 58 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Colts.
Analysis: It was an efficient, if quiet, performance through the air for Jackson, but he led the Ravens in rushing on the afternoon as Baltimore's defense controlled the game. It's the first time all season the QB hasn't tossed a TD pass, but he's now failed to top 208 passing yards in seven straight starts, putting a ceiling on his fantasy value despite his contributions on the ground. Jackson could struggle to post better numbers in Week 10 facing a Patriots defense that's been stingy against the pass.

Turnover-ridden performance in loss
Jackson went 13-for-28 passing with 208 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions during Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Steelers. He also ran for 65 yards on 16 carries, fumbling three times while turning over possession twice.
Analysis: Pittsburgh's defense disrupted the pocket throughout Sunday's AFC North showdown, collecting nine QB hits and four sacks on the 2019 NFL MVP. Jackson's outing was turbulent from the start, as he threw a 33-yard pick-six to Steelers linebacker Robert Spillane within the first minute of regulation.

Jackson completed 16 of 27 pass attempts for 186 yards and a touchdown while adding 108 yards and another score on nine carries during Sunday's 30-28 win over the Eagles.
Analysis: Jackson averaged a pedestrian 6.9 yards per attempt and was held under 200 passing yards for the fourth straight game, with his only score through the air coming on a seven-yard connection with Nick Boyle. He was excellent as a runner, however, as he topped the 100-yard mark for the first time this season and scored an electrifying 37-yard rushing touchdown.

He didn't look to be dealing with any restrictions on the field, though, as he completed 19 of 37 passes for 180 yards with two touchdowns and one interception.

Pair of TD passes in trouncing
Jackson completed 19 of 37 passes for 180 yards with two touchdowns and one interception, adding three rushing yards on two carries during Sunday's 27-3 win against the Bengals.
Analysis: Though Jackson extends his regular-season record to an incredible career mark of 23-4, his three rushing yards against Cincinnati are the fewest in any of his NFL starts. The 2019 MVP had been efficient while posting a 68.4 percent completion rate with seven TDs and one INT coming into Week 5, but his passing yardage totals have been underwhelming, as he is now averaging fewer than 190 yards per game following Sunday's outing against Cincinnati.

Suits up, as expected
Jackson (knee/illness) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
Analysis: This was expected after coach John Harbaugh declared Friday that Jackson was "good to go" for Week 5 action, but it's still worth confirming after the QB was one of 12 players officially listed as questionable by the team heading into the weekend. Baltimore's franchise signal-caller will thus take aim at a beatable Bengals defense that has allowed an average of 243.0 passing yards and 158.5 rushing yards per game through the first four weeks of the season.

Bounces back for big performance
Jackson completed 14 of 21 pass attempts for 193 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Week 4 against Washington. He also added 53 yards and another touchdown on the ground.

He also delivered a pair of precise throws in the end zone to Mark Andrews, connecting for scores of 25 and 22 yards.

Analysis: Jackson and the Ravens' high-flying offense was grounded in uncharacteristic fashion in Monday's much-anticipated tussle. Whereas opposing quarterback Patrick Mahomes totaled over 400 yards and five touchdowns, Jackson failed to even top 100 passing yards.

Jackson completed 18 of 24 passes for 204 yards and a touchdown and ran for 54 yards on 16 carries in Sunday's 33-16 win over the Texans.
Analysis: After a first quarter that saw only one field goal between the two teams, the Ravens' running game and defense took control, leaving Jackson with little need to air it out. This kind of game script could become common for Baltimore this season, limiting the production of the team's superstar QB, but that shouldn't be an issue in Week 3 as Jackson and the Ravens go toe to toe with Patrick Mahomes and the defending Super Bowl champions from Kansas City.

Per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Jackson's two-day absence has been "precautionary."

Soft tissue injury
Coach John Harbaugh relayed Sunday that Jackson is dealing with a "soft-tissue" injury, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Per Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com, the QB has missed the Ravens' last two practices. Harbaugh declined to offer specifics on Jackson's issue, so consider the ascending signal-caller day-to-day until added context regarding his injury is available.

Getting rest Saturday
Jackson's Saturday absence at practice was merely for rest according to assistant head coach and WR coach David Culley, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Fantasy players can breathe a sigh of relief, as it was initially unclear why Jackson was held out of practice Saturday. Despite a proclamation to limit his running in 2020, Jackson figures to still be one of the top fantasy scoring quarterbacks again, especially if the likes of Marquise Brown, Miles Boykin and Devin Duvernay develop into major pass-catching threats.

Does not practice Saturday
Jackson did not practice Saturday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: There's no official word as to why Jackson will miss Saturday's practice with the team choosing to simply list the designation as "undisclosed". More clarification regarding the absence will surely come in the ensuing days.

Envisions less running
Jackson is aiming to run less and rely more on his arm moving forward, he said during a video conference with the Ravens on Tuesday. "We're going to have even more receivers...We're going to be pretty good. I don't think I'll be running a lot," Jackson said.
Analysis: Jackson's video call covered plenty of ground, including his focus on the mental aspects of the game during the offseason considering the physical limitations in place due to COVID-19. The reigning MVP also alluded to a style change in the future in which he leans more on his weapons in the passing game and lets his running backs take the brunt of the rushing workload. Jackson's athleticism makes him a nightmare to defend, but his career longevity will be extended if running is less of a staple…read more

Named 2019 MVP
Jackson was named the 2019 NFL Most Valuable Player on Saturday.
Analysis: Jackson was the runaway choice for league MVP, as he put together a fabulous sophomore season to lead the Ravens to a league-best 14-2 record. While things didn't go his way in the postseason, the electrifying athlete proved to be elite as both a passer and a runner, posting a 36:6 TD:INT through the air while setting a new record for rushing yards by a quarterback with 1,206 and adding seven touchdowns on the ground.

Massive yardage total in loss
Jackson completed 31 of 59 passes for 365 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions in the Ravens' 28-12 divisional-round loss to the Titans on Saturday. He also rushed 20 times for 143 yards and lost a fumble.
Analysis: From a fantasy perspective, Jackson could hardly have done more, as he complemented his typically stellar rushing numbers with equally impressive passing yardage. Jackson's tally through the air was actually a career best, but he ended up throwing a career-high 59 passes because the Ravens were unexpectedly behind for the entirety of the contest, often by more than one possession. The second-year quarterback's one fumble also led to a Tennessee points, as he coughed up the ball at his own…read more

Returns to field
Jackson (illness) returned to practice Thursday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Jackson sat out practice Tuesday, but the QB has moved past a bout with the flu and will resume his preparations for the Ravens' Jan. 11 playoff opener versus an opponent to be determined by the results of this weekend's Wild Card round.

No practice Tuesday
Jackson (illness) did not practice Tuesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The Ravens were hoping Jackson would be able to get on the practice field Tuesday, but he ultimately was not able to. The team won't play again until Jan. 11 thanks to a first-round bye in the playoffs, so Jackson will have plenty of time to rest and recover before then.

Comes down with flu
Jackson has the flu, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: It doesn't seem to be a serious case, considering Jackson was on the sideline for most of Sunday's 28-10 win over the Steelers. He and a few other key players were held out of the regular-season finale, with Baltimore preparing for a divisional-round playoff matchup against the Texans, Bills or Titans on Jan. 11. Coach John Harbaugh expects Jackson to participate in practice Tuesday, per Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com.

Won't play Week 17
Coach John Harbaugh has ruled out Jackson for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Jackson thus will end an MVP-worthy campaign having completed 66.1 percent of his passes for 3,127 yards, 36 touchdowns and six interceptions across 15 games. Moreover, he set the single-season rushing mark for quarterbacks with 1,206 yards to go with seven TDs on the ground. Jackson's absence thus will yield a spot start for Robert Griffin.

Bolsters MVP case with three TDs
Jackson completed 20 of 31 passes for 238 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 31-15 win over the Browns. He also rushed 17 times for 103 yards and fumbled twice, losing one.
Analysis: Jackson was quiet for most of the first half but came alive with touchdowns of 39 and 14 yards to tight end Mark Andrews in the final 1:18 before halftime. He added a 12-yard score to Mark Ingram in the third quarter to bring his season TD:INT to 36:6 through the air, including a 24:1 mark in the last seven games. Jackson has augmented that passing success with the best rushing campaign of all time for a quarterback, compiling 1,206 yards and seven touchdowns on the ground. The win moved…read more

Submits record-breaking performance
Jackson (quadriceps) completed 15 of 23 passes for 212 yards with five touchdowns and no interceptions in the Ravens' 42-21 win over the Jets on Thursday. He also rushed eight times for 86 yards -- breaking Michael Vick's single-season rushing record for a quarterback in the process -- and committed a fumble but recovered.
Analysis: Jackson couldn't have drawn up a better script for his milestone night, as he also tied his career high with his five touchdown tosses in addition to surpassing Vick for the rushing mark. Just as impressive was the fact all five of Jackson's scoring throws went to different pass catchers -- Miles Boykin (five yards), Mark Andrews (one yard), Marquise Brown (24 yards), Seth Roberts (33 yards) and Mark Ingram (10 yards). Jackson has now thrown five touchdown passes on three separate occasions in…read more

Suiting up Thursday
Jackson (quadriceps) is listed as active Thursday against the Jets.
Analysis: The Ravens listed Jackson as a limited practice participant Monday and Tuesday before upgrading him to full participation Wednesday. The quarterback was never in danger of missing Thursday's game, but it's possible his quad injury inspires a game plan with fewer designed runs for the quarterback. Even so, Jackson is well positioned for another productive outing with the Ravens heavily favored to win.

Questionable, but expected to play
Jackson (quadriceps), who is listed as questionable for the Thursday's game against the Jets, indicated earlier this week that he'll be able to play, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Players' comments about their own injuries should normally be taken with a grain of salt, but in Jackson's case, his optimism seems warranted. Not only was Jackson able to turn in a full practice Wednesday, but Mike Garafolo of NFL Network suggests that the quarterback is only carrying the questionable tag into the Week 15 contest because the NFL no longer authorizes a "probable" listing. Official confirmation of Jackson's availability will arrive upon the release of the Ravens' inactives in…read more

Officially questionable
Jackson (quadriceps) is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's contest against the Jets, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The quick turnaround for the Week 15 game hasn't given Jackson much time to move past the quad injury he picked up in Sunday's win over the Bills, but the star signal-caller appears to be trending toward playing Thursday, per Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. As evidence, Jackson was a full participant in the Ravens' practice Wednesday, a step forward after he began the week with back-to-back limited showings. Given the nature of the injury as well as the weakness of the opponent, the Ravens could…read more

Limited again Tuesday
Jackson (quadriceps) was limited at Tuesday's walkthrough.
Analysis: Jackson has been tabbed with the same listing on back-to-back estimated injury reports to start Week 15 prep. The Ravens are taking a "wait-and-see" approach with his quad injury, which he sustained on a low hit during this past Sunday's win in Buffalo. While he told Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic that he'll "be out there Thursday night" against the Jets, Jackson's status nonetheless will receive some clarity upon the release of Wednesday's practice report.

Analysis: Coach John Harbaugh told Zrebiec on Monday that the Ravens intend to take a "wait-and-see" approach with Jackson, who hurt his quad on a low hit during a Week 14 win at Buffalo. With some activity evident Tuesday, Jackson appears poised to match his 'limited' listing from Monday, at the very least. His level of participation will become clearer upon the release of Tuesday's injury report.

Ravens monitoring quad injury
Jackson hurt his quadriceps on a low hit Sunday at Buffalo, and the Ravens will take a "wait-and-see" approach with the injury, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The Ravens have a quick turnaround with a game Thursday against the Jets, so the team merely held a walk-through Monday. Jackson himself took the field late during the portion of the session open to the media, which was enough for him to be listed as limited on the practice estimate, per Clifton Brown of the team's official site. The quarterback will have two more chances this week to elevate to full participation, but ultimately his listing on Wednesday's injury report will be telling for his…read more

Jackson (quad) was listed as limited on Monday's practice estimation, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Hensley notes that Jackson "walked with a slight hitch when he entered the indoor field house" Monday, so Jackson's status is worth tracking in advance of Thursday night's game against the Jets. So far, however, there has been nothing to suggest that the QB's status for the contest is in any peril.

Accounts for three TDs vs. Bills
Jackson completed 16 of 25 pass attempts for 145 yards, three touchdowns and one interception Sunday against the Bills. He also rushed 11 times for 40 yards in the 24-17 win.
Analysis: Jackson completed a respectable 64 percent of his passes, but he made just one completion longer than 15 yards as he finished averaging 5.8 yards per attempt. That happened to be on a 61-yard touchdown strike to Hayden Hurst, which he complemented with short scores to Nick Boyle and Willie Snead. Jackson's output on the ground also made him just the second quarterback in NFL history to surpass 1,000 rushing yards for a season alongside Michael Vick.

Dominates with legs
Jackson completed 14 of 23 passes for 105 yards and a touchdown while rushing 16 times for 101 yards and a touchdown and losing a fumble in Sunday's 20-17 win over San Francisco.
Analysis: Jackson eclipsed 60 rushing yards for the 10th time in 12 games this season, including each of the past nine, and he became the first quarterback in NFL history to rush for over 100 yards four times in one season. He lost a fumble for the first time all season, marking his first turnover since Week 5, but Jackson also threw a 20-yard touchdown pass to Mark Andrews and scored with his legs from one yard out.

Puts on show versus Rams
Jackson completed 15 of 20 passes for 169 yards and five touchdowns in Monday night's 45-6 win over the Rams. He also rushed eight times for 95 yards.
Analysis: Jackson turned in a dazzling display, bolstering his MVP resume. The quarterback started by tossing touchdowns to Hollywood Brown on consecutive drives, then came inches away from a thrilling 36-yard scoring scamper on his next series. With another touchdown throw his next time out, however, Jackson not only led Baltimore to the end zone on all four of his first-half drives, but did so without a single incompletion. For an encore, he then opened the second half with back-to-back red-zone TD…read more

Analysis: Jackson once again was in excellent form both through the air and on the ground, posting his second straight game with multiple touchdown passes while also eclipsing the 80-yard mark as a rusher for the fifth time on the campaign.

Perfect in beatdown of Bengals
Jackson completed 15 of 17 passes for 223 yards and three touchdowns and added 65 yards and a touchdown on seven carries during Sunday's 49-13 win over Cincinnati.
Analysis: The Ravens were already up 28-10 midway through the third quarter when Jackson, off of a zone read, twisted and turned up field for a 47-yard touchdown run. He capped off the very next drive with a 20-yard loft to rookie Marquise Brown for his third touchdown throw of the game and the Ravens pulled the dynamic sophomore for the remainder of the blowout.

Jackson has found significant success on the ground over the last three weeks with 49 attempts for 329 yards and four touchdowns, while Cincinnati features the worst rush defense in the NFL and allows 177.6 yards per game and 5.1 yards per carry.

Jackson completed 17 of 23 pass attempts for 163 yards and a touchdown while rushing 16 times for 61 yards and two more scores in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Patriots.
Analysis: This was actually one of Jackson's worst rushing games this season from an efficiency standpoint (3.8 yards per carry), but the Patriots were not able to stop him from breaking the plane of the end zone on two occasions. The sophomore gunslinger hasn't become the polished pocket passer we thought we were witnessing following a five-touchdown performance back in Week 1, but he doesn't need to be if he continues to post fantasy totals akin to running backs on a weekly basis (79.6 rushing yards…read more
