Jackson returns from a three-game ankle injury absence for a Ravens offense that becomes a major challenge for Buffalo's struggling defense (30th in points allowed, 31st in yards allowed). While the Bills have historically contained Jackson's mobility, a new defensive coordinator and scheme create uncertainty about whether that success will translate; if Jackson's mobility is limited by the ankle, it could reduce his effectiveness, as he consistently makes huge plays with his legs, though he is capable of beating teams from the pocket.

Returning from a three-game absence due to ankle injury, Jackson's return significantly elevates Baltimore's offensive threat against a struggling Buffalo defense (30th in points allowed, 31st in yards allowed). However, if his mobility is limited by the ankle, it could reduce his effectiveness, as he consistently makes huge plays with his legs; Buffalo's defensive scheme change under new coordinator adds uncertainty about whether their historical success containing Jackson will translate this year.

Jackson's first game back from injury may see limited ground usage similar to Caleb Williams' return, but he can win through the air against Buffalo's defense, which has allowed the second-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. No quarterback outside Justin Herbert has scored fewer than 23 fantasy points against the Bills this season, supporting elite ceiling potential. Rostership may be lower than deserved in his return game.

Lamar Jackson is set to start against the Bills after missing Baltimore's last three games with a high ankle sprain. Buffalo head coach Joe Brady stated he expects Jackson to play at full capacity, saying 'No one is perfectly healthy at this time in the NFL. We know we're going to get the best version of Lamar Jackson, and it's going to make for good football.' This signals the two-time MVP is expected to return without limitations despite the high ankle sprain.

Lamar Jackson is set to return in Week 8 after missing three games with a high ankle sprain sustained in Week 4 against Tennessee. He was a full participant in all three practice days leading into Week 8 and is cleared to play. Jackson noted he still feels some pain when planting his foot but described it as 'bearable.' Head coach Jesse Minter confirmed: 'We do think we'll have Lamar this week. I'm excited about that. He's had a really good week of practice.'

Lamar Jackson was out for three weeks with an injury, which may have skewed his statistical performance downward. The source notes that despite this absence, the Ravens' offense has been average almost entirely, with their lone bright spot being turnover avoidance and their sole weakness being sack allowance. Jackson has been taken down seven times on the season with one interception, compared to backup Tyler Huntley's ten sacks and one interception. The source acknowledges that Jackson can play at a high level objectively, but the injury context is relevant to interpreting his season-to-date metrics.

Jackson recently missed three games due to a sprained ankle but might play Sunday at Buffalo in Week 8. The source expresses skepticism about Jackson's durability, noting he has missed four or more games in three of five seasons. While Jackson has won two regular-season MVP awards and finished as fantasy's No. 1 QB twice (2019, 2024), he has only one other top-10 fantasy season (fourth in 2023). The source doubts Jackson can be counted on for the rest of the season and questions whether he will start every game thereafter even if he plays Week 8.

Lamar Jackson is expected to play in Week 8 against Buffalo after sitting out against Cincinnati; the Ravens are 'confident' he'll be under center. At full health, Jackson is a fantasy force with elite 2026 passing metrics: 0.34 EPA/dropback, 70.8% completion, 119.6 passer rating, 10.1 yards/attempt, 45.8% throws to sticks, 44.8% first down rate, and 6.0 TD:INT ratio. His presence elevates the entire Ravens offense, including running back production.
