Lamar Jackson's availability for Week 7 is uncertain; he did not practice on Wednesday, and Crack Rockck tweeted that Lamar Jackson will not be playing.

If he plays, the game has potential to be a 'total carnival' with high-upside stacking potential; if Huntley starts instead, Ravens become largely unplayable.PositiveInjuryOct 20, 2026

Additionally, Jackson ranks in the top five in the NFL for EPA per play (alongside Purdy, Josh Goff, and Maye), and the source notes he sometimes falls to round five in Battle Royale drafts, at which point 'I'm taking him,' indicating strong value at that draft position.NegativeInjuryOct 14, 2026
