2026 Week 5 Fantasy Football Breaking News: Zay Flowers Questionable, Lamar Jackson Ruled Out for Ravens
Baltimore's offense is in chaos heading into Sunday night — here's what it means for your lineup.
The Ravens' Week 5 injury report is a nightmare, according to ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports). Head coach Jesse Minter confirmed that quarterback Lamar Jackson has been ruled out for Sunday night's game in Atlanta. On top of that, top wide receiver Zay Flowers is listed as questionable after being limited in practice all week with a foot injury. The team will make a final call on Flowers' availability closer to game time. Linebacker Trey Hendrickson (finger) and center Cam Jurgens (concussion) were also ruled out. Cornerback Marlon Humphrey (hamstring, calf) is questionable after returning to practice Friday.
Zay Flowers
Flowers is a near-must-sit in redraft this week — and that's true even if he plays. Jackson being ruled out strips the Ravens' passing attack of its engine, and Flowers running routes for a backup quarterback in a road primetime game is not a situation you want to rely on. The foot injury adding a real chance he doesn't suit up at all makes this a straightforward decision: find a replacement if you have one. In dynasty, hold him — the injury and the QB situation are both short-term concerns, and ProFootballTalk notes Minter expects things to stabilize in Week 6 with Jurgens' Ravens debut on the horizon.
