Fantasy Impact:

Griffin suffered a hairline fracture in his right thumb just a week ago, so it is a positive sign that he is already back out on the field throwing passes. Lamar Jackson is the clear starting quarterback in Baltimore, but Griffin is an intriguing handicap in that the Ravens have made it clear that they are catering the offense to Jackson and his mobility and have prioritized having a backup in place who possesses similar skills. If Jackson were to be injured this season, Griffin would immediately become a popular waiver wire and streaming candidate, as long as he is healthy.
