Lamar Jackson (hamstring) ‘likely’ to be out Week 5
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is considered “likely to miss” the team’s Week 5 game against the Houston Texans after exiting Week 4’s contest due to a hamstring injury.
Fantasy Impact
Jackson left the Ravens’ 37-20 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs midway through the second half. According to John Harbaugh, Jackson’s exit was entirely related to his injury and not the score of the game. For fantasy managers that roster Jackson, a backup option should be explored on the waiver wire, as Brian Wacker of the Baltimore Sun reported he could be out for 2-3 weeks. Cooper Rush would be next in line for Baltimore; although he has experience as a backup quarterback (14 career starts), he is likely no more than a low-end QB2.
