Lamar Jackson: expected back in Week 8 at Buffalo

THE FACT. Jackson, who missed the Ravens' Week 7 loss to Cincinnati with a left ankle sprain, is expected back for Week 8 at Buffalo, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network in a report carried Sunday by CBS Sports. CBS Sports' Tracy Wolfson relayed the same expectation Sunday, and Jackson was a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday of Week 7 while Tyler Huntley made a third straight start in his place.
THE VERDICT. Redraft: put him back in lineups the moment Baltimore confirms it. A healthy Jackson is a league-winning quarterback regardless of the matchup, and Buffalo being a hard road spot does not change that. Dynasty: there is nothing to sell here. The ankle cost three games and no more. DFS: wait for Wednesday practice participation before paying up, because an expectation reported Sunday is not a Friday game designation.
