John Harbaugh told reporters on Wednesday that Lamar Jackson will start for the Ravens against the Bucs in Week 15 and that Joe Flacco will be the backup. (Source: Jeff Zrebiec on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Jackson is still battling the ankle injury he sustained in overtime against the Chiefs, but he clearly did enough to warrant taking over the QB job in Baltimore. His rushing ability offers a solid fantasy floor, and a soft matchup against the Bucs makes him a decent fantasy option this week. For those stashing Flacco, you can move on.
