Lane caught three of five targets for 25 yards during Sunday's 35-13 loss to the Bengals.
Lane finished second on the team in targets behind fellow wideout Zay Flowers (11), and he was able to reel in at least three passes for the second straight week. With Lamar Jackson (ankle) nearing a return to action, Lane may be able to establish himself as a reliable red-zone threat for Baltimore moving forward this season. The rookie's next chance to record his first career touchdown will come in Week 8 versus the Bills.

Ravens' Ja'Kobi Lane: Week 7 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Lane returned from his four-game absence due to a wrist injury in Week 6 at Cleveland and had four catches for 40 yards on five targets. He should emerge as a go-to option for the Ravens moving forward, and Rashod Bateman (shoulder) was injured against the Browns, which is something to monitor. Lamar Jackson (ankle) will hopefully return soon, which will help Lane's upside, and he's worth adding in all leagues for at least 5 percent of your remaining FAAB.

Ravens' Ja'Kobi Lane: Productive in first game back
Rotowire
Lane brought in four of five targets for 40 yards in the Ravens' 13-10 loss to the Browns on Sunday.
Lane was making his return from a four-game stint on IR due to a wrist injury, and he set new career highs across the board after having gotten hurt in Week 1. Lane tied for second in receptions and targets while slotting in third in receiving yards on the afternoon for the Ravens. Lane's chemistry with Tyler Huntley was encouraging, but the rookie wideout's fantasy upside could truly be unlocked once he has a stretch of games to work with Lamar Jackson (ankle).

Ravens' Ja'Kobi Lane: Returning to action Sunday
Rotowire
Lane (wrist) is active for Sunday's game against the Browns.
After injuring his left wrist in the Ravens' Week 1 win over the Colts and landing on injured reserve, Lane was cleared to resume practicing Wednesday. The rookie wideout proceeded to turn in three consecutive full sessions, and the Ravens came away satisfied enough with his health to bring him back from IR. Lane could immediately settle in as the Ravens' No. 3 wideout behind Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman as he makes his return to the lineup.

Ravens' Ja'Kobi Lane: Removed from IR
Rotowire
Lane (wrist) was activated from injured reserve by Baltimore on Saturday.
Although Lane is still listed as questionable, his activation from IR puts the rookie wide receiver on track to return for Sunday's game against the Browns. Lane was one of the Ravens' standout players during training camp, so he could be featured prominently in the offense alongside Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman in his return.

Ravens' Ja'Kobi Lane: On track to be activated from IR
Rotowire
Lane (wrist) is "good to go" after practicing fully this week and is expected to be activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Browns, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.
Lane strung together a trio of full practices to draw the questionable tag for Week 6. It looks like the Ravens will have their rookie third-round wide receiver back on the field for Sunday's AFC North showdown, and Lane could slide right back into the WR2 role behind Zay Flowers and in front of Rashod Bateman. Lane fractured his wrist during the Ravens' Week 1 win against the Colts, when he caught one of three targets for 11 yards (with two of those targets occurring in the end zone).

Ravens' Ja'Kobi Lane: Full participant in practice return
Rotowire
Lane (wrist) was a full participant in practice Wednesday after being designated for return from injured reserve.
The Ravens opened Lane's 21-day evaluation window to begin Week 6 prep, after the rookie wideout missed the team's last four games while recovering from left wrist surgery. The rookie wideout was apparently able to stay on top of his conditioning while he was sidelined from practice over the past month, as he faced no limitations in his return to the field. If Lane is able to maintain full practice activity Thursday and Friday, the Ravens could bring him back from IR ahead of Sunday's game in Cleveland.

Ravens' Ja'Kobi Lane: Could return in Week 6
Rotowire
Lane (wrist) "is expected to return to practice" and per head coach Jesse Minter "has a shot" to play Sunday against the Browns, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Minter said Monday that Lane could be designated to return from injured reserve this week, and it now appears likely he will do so. His participation in practice -- or lack thereof -- from Wednesday through Friday will likely determine whether or not he is ultimately activated for Week 6.

Ravens' Ja'Kobi Lane: Could return to practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Head coach Jesse Minter said Monday that the Ravens could designate Lane (wrist) to return from injured reserve as soon as Wednesday, Jonas Shaffer of the Baltimore Banner reports.
The rookie third-rounder's offseason momentum was stymied when he fractured his wrist during the Ravens' Week 1 win over the Colts. Minter noted that Lane has kept up his conditioning while on IR, and there's a chance that the 22-year-old wideout could be back on the field for practice as soon as Wednesday, though it's unclear whether he'll be cleared to return for Week 6 against the Browns on Oct. 18.

Ravens' Ja'Kobi Lane: Making good progress with rehab
Rotowire
Ravens coach Jesse Minter said Friday that Lane (wrist) is "doing really well" and "has put himself in a great position to be ready to roll when the time permits."
Lane is eligible to return from injured reserve for Week 6, and while Minter didn't get into specifics, it does sounds like the rookie wideout is expected back fairly soon. Lane underwent surgery in mid-September after fracturing his wrist in a Week 1 win over the Colts. He played 24 snaps on offense in the first half of that game, catching one of three targets for 11 yards, with a short TD catch called back due to a penalty. Lane could be the team's No. 2 or 3 wide receiver when he returns.

Ravens' Ja'Kobi Lane: Undergoes wrist surgery
Rotowire
Coach Jesse Minter said Lane underwent wrist surgery Wednesday, and the Ravens placed the rookie wide receiver on injured reserve, Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Lane left the Ravens' Week 1 win at Indianapolis with a wrist injury that eventually was confirmed to include a fracture. With his move to IR, he'll be required to miss at least the next four games, meaning his next chance for game action will come Oct. 18 at Cleveland. As long as Lane is sidelined, Zay Flowers (hamstring), Rashod Bateman, Devontez Walker (groin), Elijah Sarratt and LaJohntay Wester will be among those that could see additional action at wide receiver for Baltimore.

Ravens' Ja'Kobi Lane: Receiving further opinions on wrist
Rotowire
Ravens head coach Jesse Minter said that Lane will receive second and third medical opinions on his injured wrist this week before a timeline for his return is established, Sam Cohn of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Lane's NFL debut in Sunday's 41-23 win over the Colts came to an early end due to the wrist injury, which was confirmed to be a fracture after the game. An upcoming MRI along with additional testing on the wrist should help the Ravens gain a better understanding of the severity of the fracture, but at the very least, the rookie third-round pick is expected to miss the team's Week 2 game against the Saints. Lane's likely absence could open up more opportunities for Devontez Walker (groin) and Eljiah Sarratt (coach's decision), both of whom sat out the season opener.

Ravens' Ja'Kobi Lane: Suffers fractured wrist
Rotowire
Lane (wrist) suffered a fractured wrist in Sunday's 41-23 win over the Colts and will undergo further testing Monday, including an MRI, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Lane is expected to face a multi-week absence due to the fractured wrist he sustained in his NFL debut, which led to the rookie third-round pick exiting the game after catching one of three targets for 11 yards. A more precise timetable for Lane's recovery will likely be established after the results of his MRI come in, but he will almost certainly sit out Week 2 against the Saints.

Ravens' Ja'Kobi Lane: Flashes in first preseason game
Rotowire
Lane brought in all three targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in the Ravens' 24-7 preseason win over the Eagles on Saturday.
The rookie third-round pick has already been building plenty of momentum in training camp, and he carried it over to his first taste of game action of the preseason. Lane's first reception came on Baltimore's second possession and went for 18 yards, and he went on to notch a touchdown on a 16-yard grab with just over nine minutes remaining in the second quarter. Lane's performance Saturday coupled with what he's shown on the practice field seemingly gives him an inside track to the No. 3 receiver job heading into the Ravens' next preseason matchup next Saturday against the Vikings.

Ravens' Ja'Kobi Lane: Continues generating buzz at camp
Rotowire
Lane has been the buzz of Ravens training camp over the first couple weeks, Ryan Mink of the team's official site reports.
According to Mink, Lane is making highlight-reel catches on what feels like a daily basis, and even Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com said Saturday that in his 27 years of covering the team, Lane has had the best rookie training camp he's ever seen. While Lane is doing it all on the practice field, he'll need to replicate it during preseason action if he's going to keep surging for a role in three-wide sets alongside Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman. Third-round rookie Lane's top competition for snaps appears to be Devontez Walker and 2026 fourth-rounder Elijah Sarratt.
