• Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Comes up short in playoff loss

  01/20/2025 • By RotoWire

  Jackson completed 18 of 25 passes for 254 yards with two touchdowns and one interception and rushed six times for 39 yards in the Ravens' 27-25 divisional-round loss to the Bills on Sunday. He also lost a fumble. Jackson's afternoon started off swimmingly with an eight-play, 73-yard march the star signal-caller capped off with a 16-yard touchdown pass to Rashod Bateman. However, Jackson badly overthrew Bateman under pressure on the next possession and then lost a fumble on a sack by Damar Hamlin to short-circuit Baltimore's third drive. The latter turnover helped lead to a Bills touchdown four plays later, but Lamar was able to battle back in the second half and threw his second touchdown pass of the evening on a dynamic play where he bought time with his legs before delivering a 24-yard strike to Isaiah Likely to bring the Ravens to within two. Jackson then threw a very catchable pass to Mark Andrews for the would-be game-tying two-point conversion, but the veteran tight end failed to hang on and essentially sealed the loss with his drop. The narrow defeat came in the wake of another MVP-caliber season for the 2018 first-round pick, who completed 316 of 474 passes for a career-high 4,172 yards and 41 touchdowns across 17 regular-season games. Jackson tossed only four interceptions as well and added 915 rushing yards and four scores on the ground, and he'll head into 2025 set to play out the third year of the five-year, $260 million extension he signed prior to the 2023 campaign.

• Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Not on injury report

  01/15/2025 • By RotoWire

  Jackson wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report ahead of Sunday's divisional-round game against the Bills. Per Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com, Jackson got kneed in the back during the second quarter of this past Saturday's wild-card win over the Steelers, but the star quarterback's practice reps weren't affected at all Wednesday. While Jackson's status for Sunday's showdown in Buffalo is secure, the availability of top wideout Zay Flowers (knee) -- who didn't practice Wednesday -- is in question.

• Ravens' Lamar Jackson: No practice limitations expected

  01/13/2025 • By RotoWire

  Ravens coach John Harbaugh doesn't expect Jackson to be limited in practice this week, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports. Jackson grimaced and clutched his torso at one point during the fourth quarter of Sunday's 28-14 win over the Steelers, but he never left the game and apparently doesn't have a noteworthy injury. Harbaugh said Jackson was kneed in the back during the second quarter, which might explain why the QB was in pain later on. Regardless of the specifics, Jackson is expected to practice this week and then start Sunday's divisional-round game at Buffalo.

• Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Makes light work of Pittsburgh

  01/12/2025 • By RotoWire

  Jackson completed 16 of 21 pass attempts for 175 yards and two touchdowns while rushing for 81 yards on 15 carries in Saturday's 28-14 wild-card round win over the Steelers. Jackson had his squad sitting pretty at halftime after throwing a pair of touchdown strikes to help build a 21-0 lead that Baltimore would never relinquish. The dual-threat quarterback wasn't needed much in the second half outside of some drive-extending rushes, finishing with modest fantasy numbers in a convincing victory. The 175 passing yards is his third-lowest mark this season. Expect Jackson to be leaned on more in the divisional round.

• Ravens' Lamar Jackson: First QB to 4,000/800 mark

  01/05/2025 • By RotoWire

  Jackson completed 16 of 32 pass attempts for 217 yards and two touchdowns while rushing for 63 yards on nine carries in Saturday's 35-10 win over the Browns. Jackson's first touchdown strike Saturday earned the signal-caller enough passing yards to become the first player in NFL history to throw for at least 4,000 yards and rush for 800 yards in a single season. The superstar QB didn't post his gaudiest stat line in his historic performance, but he still threw for multiple touchdowns for the sixth week in a row. With first place in the AFC North locked up with a Week 18 win, Jackson and the Ravens will shift their focus to hosting either the Chargers or the Steelers in the wild-card round of the playoffs.
