Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (hamstring) not practicing Monday

Oct 20, 2025

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said last week that he expects quarterback Lamar Jackson to return to action after the team’s Week 7 bye, but he wasn’t on the field for the team’s first practice since returning to work.

Fantasy Impact:

Multiple reporters at Monday’s practice shared that Jackson remains off the field, the story said. It went on to say the Ravens did get some players back on the field - linebacker Roquan Smith and cornerback Chidobe Awuzie were both practicing after missing time with hamstring injuries, so that makes the fact that Jackson wasn't among those players something to pay attention to.

Raiders expect TE Brock Bowers, WR Jakobi Meyers after bye

Raiders head coach Pete Carroll said TE Brock Bowers and Jakobi Meyers should be ready to go after the bye week.

Fantasy Impact:

Bowers is dealing with the knee injury and Meyers has both knee and toe issues. The Raiders could certainly use both back in the offense. Bowers owners are hoping he can return to last year's form, and he did have five targets for 108 yards in Week 1.

Panthers will continue to use two-back approach

Dave Canales plans to continue with two back approach with Chuba Hubbard and Rico Dowdle. Two players he says he can trust.

Fantasy Impact:

The duo were fairly close in snaps, Hubbard had 38 to Dowdle's 33, and in touches, Dowdle had 18 to Hubbard's 16, and that should remain similar at least for another week. While it's not ideal for fantasy owners of either back, with Bryce Young out this week and Andy Dalton filling in, both backs should have enough fantasy value for lineups - at least until there becomes some kind of separation.

Dolphins TE Darren Waller has strained pectoral

Tests showed that Dolphins TE Darren Waller has a strained pectoral that is not expected to require surgery, per source. He will be considered “week to week at this point.”

Related players: Julian Hill, Tanner Conner

Fantasy Impact:

The week to week tag suggests Waller is at least in doubt for Week 8, and possibly longer. Owners will want to have another plan in place at that position and the likes of Hill and Conner probably can't be trusted in typical fantasy leagues.
