Fantasy Impact:

Davis was playing for Reed who was out with a concussion. It's good new Davis was able to return with no timetable for Reed who remains in protocol. Sprinkle would be next up should Reed and Davis both be out.

Lamar Jackson sets single-season rushing record for quarterbacks

Lamar Jackson broke Michael Vick’s record of 1,039 rushing yards as a quarterback during the first quarter of Thursday’s game against the Jets.

Fantasy Impact:

At the time of this post and Schefter’s tweet, Jackson was at 1,044 rushing yards. He will likely break 1,100, perhaps even 1,200 by the end of the season, as the Ravens will likely be playing their starters at least through Week 16 but could rest them in Week 17 as they could have the top seed in the AFC wrapped up by then. Jackson has been an incredible force to watch this season and is single-handedly carrying teams through a playoff run. Congratulations on a terrific season that is still going strong for the MVP favorite.

Vikings WR Adam Thielen is reportedly “very happy” with the progress he has made in his recovery from a hamstring injury and could return to the lineup Sunday against the Chargers.

Fantasy Impact:

Thielen has been limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday , but Thielen said Thursday’s practice “was a win for me”. He also said “we’ll see how Friday goes for me”, but this is the most optimistic Thielen has been since the injury. And just in time for a fantasy championship run.

Steelers WR JuJu Smith-Schuster left practice early Thursday with a knee injury.

Fantasy Impact:

Not the best of signs as this was a downgrade for JuJu after he practiced in full Wednesday. We’ll see if he suffered some sort of setback. Friday will be very telling for his potential to play in a key game Sunday night against the Bills. James Conner was a full participant, so it wasn’t all bad for Pittsburgh. If JuJu can’t go, Diontae Johnson will have another chance to shine after his breakout performance in Week 14.
