2026 Week 8 Fantasy Football Breaking News: Lamar Jackson Full Practice Participant

Lamar Jackson was a full participant in Wednesday's Ravens practice, according to ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports) — his first full session since Oct. 2. Jackson has missed Baltimore's last three games with a high ankle sprain and remains listed as questionable for Week 8.

The news is encouraging but not a green light. Jackson was trending toward playing last week too, logged limited practices on all three on-field days, was initially listed as questionable, and still ended up inactive for Sunday's 35-13 loss to the Bengals. One full practice is progress; it's not a return confirmation.

Lamar Jackson

If Jackson plays, he's an obvious start — he entered this week 3-1 with six passing touchdowns, one interception, and one rushing touchdown on the season per ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports). His dual-threat upside makes him a top-five QB in any format when healthy. But given last week's false alarm, hold off on making lineup decisions until Thursday's or Friday's practice reports clarify his status. Don't bench a reliable starter in anticipation of his return until he's actually confirmed active.

Tyler Huntley

Huntley has been the Ravens' primary quarterback in Jackson's absence, averaging 87.1% of snaps across seven games this season. He's a risky fantasy play week to week, but if Jackson is ruled out again, Huntley would retain that starting role and his rushing floor gives him some standalone value in deeper leagues. Monitor the injury report through the week before making a move either way.
