Kenyan Drake Inactive Against CincinnatiBaltimore Ravens running back Kenyan Drake is inactive ahead of Sunday's wild-card showdown against the Bengals. J.K. Dobbins didn't suit up in Week 18 for the first of consecutive meetings with Cincinnati, allowing Drake to finish with 60 yards and a touchdown off 16 carries. However, with Dobbins, Gus Edwards, and Justice Hill good to go, Drake will be held out, although this isn't surprising to fantasy managers.

Tyler Huntley To Start, But Anthony Brown Could PlayBaltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley (shoulder) is expected to start in Sunday night's wild-card game against the Cincinnati Bengals after he made good progress this week while working through his right shoulder injury. However, it is a "possibility" that the Ravens use both Huntley and rookie Anthony Brown under center against the Bengals. Starter Lamar Jackson (knee) remains out with a Grade 2 PCL sprain, so Huntley will make his fifth start of the season despite battling shoulder tendinitis and a wrist injury. In his five games, Huntley has completed 67 percent of his passes and also has 43 rushing attempts. Using both Huntley and Brown could present a challenge for Cincy's defense. Without much to work with in the passing game, fantasy managers should be looking to avoid Huntley for their starting lineups in playoff leagues.

Injured Ravens Still Hope To Retain Lamar Jackson Long-TermBaltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) has not played since Week 14 and has already been ruled out for Sunday's Wild-Card matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. Although it seems unlikely that Jackson will see the field again this season, the Ravens reportedly still view the 26-year-old as their franchise signal-caller and intend to negotiate a long-term deal with him this offseason. If the two sides are unable to agree on a contract, Baltimore would be expected to franchise tag Jackson next season. His value to the team is clear as Jackson was voted as the league's MVP in 2019 and holds a 45-16 regular season record as a starter.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) has officially been ruled out for the Wild Card game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Jackson missed each of the Ravens' final five games and despite speculation that he'd return in the playoffs, he won't suit up in the opening round. Tyler Huntley (shoulder/wrist) was a full participant in practice Friday but was listed as questionable. It's not safe to assume Huntley will definitely play, but there is a good chance. If Huntley can't go, Anthony Brown will make his second straight start. With Jackson out, continue to downgrade the outlooks of all Ravens' running backs and pass-catchers.

Injured Gus Edwards Clears Concussion ProtocolBaltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards has cleared the concussion protocol, so he will play in Sunday night's wild-card game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Edwards has rushed 87 times for 433 yards and three touchdowns this season in nine games played but has not caught a pass on two total targets. The Bengals have allowed the sixth-fewest fantasy points to running backs this season, so Edwards' role in a split backfield with J.K. Dobbins doesn't present much upside in this spot. Edwards will likely have to score multiple touchdowns to be a DFS-viable option, and it's tough to see Baltimore's offense performing well with backup quarterback Tyler Huntley likely under center once again.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley (shoulder) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice. Huntley was also limited on Wednesday, but he did resume throwing on Thursday, which is good news for the organization. Quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) didn't practice and appears doubtful for this game. It appears Huntley has a chance at playing, but the team will likely wait until later in the week before making a final decision. Otherwise, Anthony Brown would be asked to start if both quarterbacks are unable to play this weekend.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) remained sidelined during Thursday's practice and is not expected to play in the wild-card game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday night. The 23-year-old took to social media to say that he's still dealing with inflammation in his knee after suffering a Grade 2 sprain of his PCL on Dec. 4. He mentioned that he wishes he could give 100% of himself, but can't right now. That being said, Jackson basically ruled himself out of this contest. Tyler Huntley (shoulder, wrist) was able to throw during practice on Thursday. Possibly, Huntley is able to suit up Sunday versus Cincinnati. Otherwise, Anthony Brown would be asked to make the start under center this weekend.

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (concussion) returned to practice on Thursday and was wearing a non-contact jersey and foam protection on his helmet after suffering a concussion in the Week 18 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. It's progress for Edwards, but his status remains unclear for the wild-card game on Sunday night against the Bengals. J.K. Dobbins was rested in the regular season finale, but he will return for wild-card weekend to serve as the lead back. However, with quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) unlikely to play and with backup Tyler Huntley (shoulder, wrist) questionable, fantasy managers should be fading all of the team's offensive skill players for a second straight matchup against their division rivals. If Edwards doesn't clear the league's concussion protocol, Kenyan Drake will take on a bigger role behind Dobbins.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) missed another practice on Thursday, while backup Tyler Huntley (shoulder, wrist) was seen throwing in the portion of practice open to the media. Huntley was listed as limited on Wednesday but didn't throw at all, so this represents progress for him ahead of the wild-card matchup on Sunday night against the Cincinnati Bengals. Jackson hasn't practiced or played since suffering a PCL sprain on Dec. 4, so he's a long shot to play this weekend. Huntley was rested in the Week 18 regular season finale, but the Ravens are hoping he can start under center against Cincy. If Huntley cannot go, rookie Anthony Brown would be forced into another start, which isn't ideal for Baltimore's already struggling offense.

Injured Alex Cappa Won't Play Against RavensCincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that offensive lineman Alex Cappa (ankle) will not play in the wild-card playoff game against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday night. Taylor wouldn't say if Cappa will be able to play if the Bengals advance to the Divisional Round. The 27-year-old guard was injured in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Ravens and needed a cart to take him back to the locker room. There's a good chance his season may be over, which would be a notable blow to Cincy's offensive line as they look to get back to the Super Bowl. With Cappa out this weekend, Max Scharping will look to step up in a starting role against a strong Ravens pass rush.
