Lamar Jackson: returns Sunday at Buffalo after ankle absence

THE FACT. Ravens coach Jesse Minter said Friday that Lamar Jackson will play Sunday at Buffalo, ending a three-game absence caused by a high ankle sprain, per NFL.com and the team's official site. Jackson logged three full practices during the week, carries no injury designation, and told reporters the remaining ankle pain is "bearable."
THE VERDICT. Start him everywhere in Redraft. Tyler Huntley went 1-2 across the three starts in his place, so Baltimore's passing game has been capped, and Jackson's rushing floor is what makes him a top-tier weekly play even at less than full mobility. Watch his early-game movement before paying premium DFS salary, since a quarterback managing a high ankle sprain can lose the scramble yardage that justifies the price. Dynasty managers do nothing.
