Lamar Jackson will remain the Ravens starting quarterback.

Joe Flacco will back up the rookie quarterback. Despite Jackson’s 3-1 record as the starter while Flacco was out with a right hip injury, this is a bit of a surprise considering Flacco’s late-season success and clear advantage as a passer over the rookie. There’s still a chance Flacco gets time, so Jackson is a bit riskier as a QB1 this week; but this could just be Jackson’s job for 100% of the snaps moving forward.

James O’Shaughnessy catches one pass in Week 15 loss.

It went for seven yards. O’Shaughnessy isn’t a recommended fantasy option in the fantasy championship.

Josh Doctson (concussion) is officially active for Week 15.

Doctson cleared concussion protocol and is ready to go against the Jags. He’s not a highly-recommended fantasy option for the second week of the fantasy playoffs.

John Ross catches one pass in Week 15.

Ross gained six yards on his lone reception versus Oakland, also adding one carry for three yards. Jeff Driskel appeared to have Ross open for a long touchdown, but the pass was underthrown and intercepted. With Tyler Boyd (knee) looking likely to miss time, the 2017 first-rounder Ross could emerge as the clear No. 1 receiver for Cincinnati over the final two games of the season. He’s worth a look as a waiver-wire pickup, though whether or not he’s a recommended play for fantasy titles might depend on Browns cornerback Denzel Ward’s status for next Sunday’s matchup.

Tarik Cohen gets 13 touches in Bears’ Week 14 win.

Cohen had nine carries for 69 yards along with four receptions for 20 yards versus the Rams. “The Human Joystick” showed off his elite burst throughout the night, including on a 32-yard run on the longest play of the game. Cohen remains in the FLEX mix for the second week of the fantasy playoffs when he faces the Packers.

Chris Thompson (illness) is officially active against the Jaguars.

It wasn’t expected that Thompson would miss today’s game because of his illness, and he’s officially ready to go for the Redskins. Thompson is a shaky FLEX option against a tough Jaguars defense.

Odell Beckham Jr. (thigh) will not practice today.

Beckham is said to be feeling better than he was at the end of last week, but he’s no lock to be ready for this Sunday against the Titans. We’ll track his practice status throughout the week. The Giants probably aren’t going to rush him back considering they are out of the playoff race.
