Fantasy Football Injury Updates
Lamar Jackson (knee) uncertain for Sunday’s game
Lamar Jackson’s (knee) status for Sunday’s playoff game against the Bengals remains uncertain.
Fantasy Impact
Jackson is said to still be facing an uphill battle to be ready for Sunday night’s Wild Card game in Cincinnati. The star QB has not been in action since Week 13 due to a PCL sprain. This is not an encouraging report for the Ravens who dropped three of their final four games of the regular season and have failed to score more than 17 points in any of the last six weeks. Tyler Huntley would likely draw the start under center for the Ravens if Jackson cannot go.

Dee Eskridge (hand) designated to return from IR
The Seahawks designated WR Dee Eskridge to return from injured reserve on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
Eskridge will practice on Tuesday, opening his 21-day window. He won’t play on Saturday against the 49ers, but he could return if the Seahawks were to advance. Cade Johnson and Dareke Young should continue to play a role behind DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett with Marquise Goodwin on IR.

Rashawn Slater (biceps) designated to return from IR
The Chargers designated Rashawn Slater to return from injured reserve on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
Slater won’t play on Saturday against the Jaguars, but he could return if the Chargers advance. He has been sidelined since the end of September. His return would be huge for the Chargers offensive line and offense as a whole.
