Ravens' Tyler Huntley: In line to start for Jackson
Rotowire
With Lamar Jackson (back) inactive, Huntley is slated to start Saturday night's game against the Packers, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.
Huntley will be making his second start of the season, with Cooper Rush in line to back him up Saturday. While filling in for Jackson in Week 8, Huntley completed 17 of 22 passes for 186 yards and a touchdown and added 53 yards on eight carries in a 30-16 win over the Bears. This time around, in a game the Ravens need to win in order to keep their playoff hopes alive, the veteran signal-caller offers an alternative for those who would normally rely on Jackson in their fantasy lineups, are in Superflex formats or are otherwise in need of QB help in Week 17.
Huntley completed nine of 10 passes for 65 yards in Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Patriots. He added two rushes for two yards.
Huntley took over for an injured Lamar Jackson late in the second quarter and managed the team to a pair of scoring drives in the second half. While he passed for a modest yardage total, he kept the offense on schedule, showing strong rapport with DeAndre Hopkins in the process. It's unclear if Huntley will be called upon for Baltimore's Week 17 matchup against the Packers on Saturday night, though the offense may struggle to move the ball in a tough matchup if Jackson remains sidelined.
Huntley completed 17 of 22 passes for 186 yards and a touchdown and added 53 rushing yards on eight carries in Sunday's 30-16 win over the Bears.
Facing a Chicago defense missing all three of its starting cornerbacks, Huntley had little trouble finding whatever receivers he wanted, including backup tight end Charlie Kolar for a 10-yard TD in the fourth quarter, while still getting a healthy cut of Baltimore's ground-heavy game plan. It's unclear whether Lamar Jackson (hamstring) will be able to return in Week 9, but if Huntley is under center again, he'll be taking on a Dolphins defense that's been vulnerable this season, although it'll be coming off a strong performance against Kirk Cousins and the Falcons.
