Lamar Jackson: likely to return Week 8 against Bills

THE FACT. Jackson is likely to play in Week 8 against Buffalo, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Sunday, per NBC Sports. Baltimore ruled the quarterback out of Sunday's game against Cincinnati with a high ankle sprain, which he has described himself as a high ankle issue.
THE VERDICT. Redraft: hold, and plan to have him back in your lineup next week. You need one more week of a streaming quarterback, so grab the best available arm rather than cutting depth to do it. A high ankle sprain on a quarterback who runs as much as Jackson does is the kind of injury that lingers into limited mobility, so temper expectations for his first game back rather than his availability. DFS: no play this week. Dynasty: no change.
