Week 16 Outlook
Availability
Ja'Wuan James suffered a torn Achilles Sunday, per head coach John Harbaugh.
Fantasy Impact
A very tough break for both the Ravens and James. James was filling in for the injured Ronnie Stanley and was carted off during Sunday’s game with the Jets. The Ravens will likely search for help at left tackle early next week as the injury will end James’ season.
Ja'Wuan James was carted off with Sunday with an ankle injury and is listed as doubtful to return.
Fantasy Impact
James was starting in place of Ronnie Stanley at left tackle. The Ravens should provide an update on his status after the game. For a team that focuses on running the ball, they are going to need to possibly find a replacement if James is forced to miss time.
Former Denver Broncos OT Ja'Wuan James has reportedly signed a two-year deal worth up to nine million dollars with the Baltimore Ravens, per Adam Schefter.
Fantasy Impact
James managed to sign a two-year, $9 million deal with the Baltimore Ravens on Monday, despite having ruptured his Achilles last spring, leading to an ongoing legal situation with the Broncos. The Ravens land a solid veteran tackle with the James signing, building depth along their offensive line along with Alejandro Villanueva and Ronnie Stanley returning to left tackle from injury. James still has to pass his team physical, which excludes the Achilles injury he suffered a year ago. The seventh-year tackle is expected to pass with no issues and will have the opportunity to compete for the Ravens' 53-man roster as OTAs lead into training camp in the coming weeks.
Per source, Broncos starting RT Ja’Wuan James is opting out of the 2020 NFL season due to concerns amidst the coronavirus pandemic.
Fantasy Impact
Big loss for the Broncos as they lose their starting RT for the season. James signed a four-year, $51M contract with Denver last offseason. They’ll now need to find a replacement for James to help protect their biggest potential investment in QB Drew Lock.
