Ja'Kobi Lane was placed on the injured reserve on Wednesday and will miss the next four games.
Fantasy Impact
Lane underwent wrist surgery on Tuesday, and the team is hopeful that he won't miss much more than the required four games for an IL stint. In his absence, Rashod Bateman could be in for more targets, along with Devontez Walker and Elijah Sarratt.
Ravens WR Ja'Kobi Lane is expected to undergo surgery in the coming days.
Fantasy Impact
Lane could undergo surgery as early as Wednesday. They are hopeful he'll only miss about one month.
Ja'Kobi Lane (wrist) will miss the next several weeks with a broken wrist he suffered in the Ravens win against the Colts.
Fantasy Impact
Lane was seeing some promising usage before exiting with his injury, having a touchdown nullified by holding, another endzone target just out of his reach, and an 11-yard gain on his one reception. The Ravens are now short on receivers unless Zay Flowers, who also exited with an injury, can come back for next week's game. In his absence, expect more work for Rashod Bateman, Chris Moore, and potentially fellow rookie Elijah Sarratt.
Ja’Kobi Lane (wrist) has been ruled out for the Baltimore Ravens against the Indianapolis Colts according to Ian Rapoport.
Fantasy Impact
Lane joins fellow wideout Zay Flowers (hamstring) on the sidelines for new head coach Jesse Minter, catching one of his three targets for 11 receiving yards prior to exiting. Rashod Bateman should command even more targets in the second half from quarterback Lamar Jackson in Week 1.
Ravens head coach Jesse Minter said the team expects to "take advantage" of Ja'Kobi Lane's abilities in the red zone.
Fantasy Impact
Lane had the largest hands (10½ inches) and second-largest wingspan (80¾ inches) at the combine. "When you watch Ja'Kobi in the red zone make catches, that's a vision that our coaches were like, 'Man, we could really take advantage of that,'" Minter said. "So, I think you're always looking for the best players. Oftentimes, I do think size is a requisite to be a really good player." Baltimore hasn't had many true red zone threats for Lamar Jackson to utilize.
