Fantasy Football Injury Updates

Lamar Jackson is not expected to play in Sunday’s Wild Card game against the Bengals.
Fantasy Impact
Jackson has still yet to resume practicing due to the knee injury that has sidelined him since early December. Tyler Huntley resumed throwing in practice on Thursday and is likely returning as the Ravens starter against Cincinnati.

Mike Williams doesn’t practice, listed questionable
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, WR Mike Williams (back), who did not practice all week, is listed as questionable for Saturday’s playoff game. A game-time decision.
Fantasy Impact
Williams’ results on his back injury came back negative and he was diagnosed with a contusion, but even though he was expected to practice, he did not. If Williams plays, he adds a wrinkle to the Chargers’ passing attack they don’t have without him. It’s impossible to tell if he will play or not, but if he misses time, WR Josh Palmer will be the team’s WR2 and DeAndre Carter will see more action.

Fantasy Impact
It is the second straight limited practice for Huntley, but he was also able to throw in front of reporters on Thursday which he did not do on Wednesday. With Lamar Jackson not expected to play, Huntley appears to be on track to start Sunday’s Wild Card game against the Bengals.
