2026 Week 6 Fantasy Football Breaking News: Lamar Jackson DNP Wednesday
Lamar Jackson didn't practice Wednesday, keeping his Week 6 status very much in doubt — here's what it means for your roster.
Lamar Jackson officially did not practice Wednesday, according to ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports). He's still working back from the ankle injury that kept him out in Week 5, and while an earlier report the same day suggested a realistic chance he plays against the Browns on Sunday, his status remains questionable with no change on the field.

A DNP on Wednesday is not a good sign, but it's not a death knell either — the key days to watch are Thursday and Friday. If Jackson misses practice again Thursday, start making backup plans at QB. Tyler Huntley stepped in and led Baltimore to a 30-23 win over the Falcons in Week 5, so the Ravens' offense didn't collapse without Jackson, but Huntley is a substantial downgrade for fantasy purposes. ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports) does not specify a timeline beyond this week, so treat Jackson as a true game-time decision until further notice. If you have a viable streaming option, queue one up now rather than waiting on Sunday morning.
