2026 Week 6 Fantasy Football: Lamar Jackson Misses Second Straight Practice Day

According to ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports), Lamar Jackson did not practice Thursday as he continues to deal with an ankle injury suffered late in the first half of Baltimore's win over the Titans on Oct. 4. Head coach Jesse Minter left the door open for Jackson to start even without practice reps, but missing both Wednesday and Thursday makes Huntley the more likely starter heading into Week 6.

Tyler Huntley

Huntley is your primary beneficiary here. He already started in Week 5 while Jackson was out, and two straight missed practice days tilt the odds further in his favor this week. He's a low-ceiling, high-floor streaming option — a quarterback who keeps the offense functional but won't light up your scoreboard. In PPR (point-per-reception) leagues, the Ravens' run-heavy identity limits his upside, but he's playable in two-QB or superflex formats if your alternatives are thin.

Rashod Bateman

Bateman is listed as questionable and did not practice Thursday, per the same report — a double dose of bad news for a receiver already dealing with an uncertain quarterback situation. Even if Huntley starts, Bateman's absence from practice raises real doubt about his availability. Don't count on him this week until Friday's report shows a clear upgrade in his status.

Matt Hibner

Hibner also didn't practice Thursday and carries a questionable tag. The source story lists him without detail on the nature of his injury. He's a tight end to monitor on Friday's report, but don't roster-build around him until his status clarifies.

The Ravens' full injury report was set to be released later Thursday, per ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports) — check that for any late movement on Jackson specifically. If he's ruled out or listed as doubtful, Huntley becomes a firm streaming call and Bateman a firm fade.
