  DeSean Jackson, Nick Boyle Waived By Ravens

  Baltimore Ravens wide receiver DeSean Jackson (illness) and tight end Nick Boyle were waived on Saturday. Jackson appeared in seven games with the team, catching nine passes for 153 yards. Boyle primarily served as a blocker and was targeted just twice over the last two seasons.

  Tyler Huntley, DeSean Jackson Questionable

  Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley (shoulder, wrist) and wide receiver DeSean Jackson (illness) are both questionable to play on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals in the Week 18 regular season finale. Huntley was limited all week while dealing with right shoulder tendinitis, and there appears to be a good chance that he will make his fifth straight start with Lamar Jackson (knee) already being ruled out. If Huntley doesn't play, Anthony Brown would be forced into action under center for Baltimore. Jackson did not practice all week and could be rested for the playoffs. Because the Bengals' Week 17 game was canceled, Baltimore can longer win the AFC North division by beating Cincy this weekend, so they may be less motivated to play their regulars for a full game.

  DeSean Jackson Still Out Sick Thursday

  Baltimore Ravens wide receiver DeSean Jackson (illness) was absent from practice on Thursday for the second day in a row. Jackson's status for the Week 18 regular season finale on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals is now in jeopardy, although a return to practice on Friday would put him in a good spot to be able to play. Now that Sunday's game against Cincy won't give Baltimore a chance to win the AFC North division, it's likely that the Ravens won't put their starters in danger of suffering any injuries before the postseason. It means that there's a chance D-Jax is rested this weekend. None of the Ravens' pass-catchers have really been attractive in fantasy with backup quarterback Tyler Huntley under center anyway. If Jackson is unable to play, Sammy Watkins and James Proche II would have bigger roles behind Demarcus Robinson.

  DeSean Jackson Out Sick On Wednesday

  Baltimore Ravens wide receiver DeSean Jackson (illness) did not practice on Wednesday due to an illness. If Jackson is able to return to the practice field on Thursday or Friday, he'll have a good shot at playing in Week 18 against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals. The 36-year-old has been forced into action for the Ravens receiving corps due to injuries this year, but he hasn't managed to do much in his seven games played, catching nine of his 17 targets for 153 yards and no touchdowns. D-Jax just can't be trusted in DFS or season-long leagues in this low-volume passing attack as anything more than a long shot to produce with backup quarterback Tyler Huntley, who is likely to make his fifth straight start with Lamar Jackson (knee) injured.

  Ravens Sign DeSean Jackson To Active Roster

  The Baltimore Ravens signed veteran wide receiver DeSean Jackson from the practice squad to the active roster on Monday, according to his agent, Drew Rosenhaus. Jackson will remain on the team's active roster after playing in his third game in the Week 13 win over the Denver Broncos, in which he had two catches on three targets for just 10 yards. The 36-year-old speedy deep threat has five catches on eight targets for 100 yards in his three games with Baltimore, and he figures to continue serving as a boom/bust deep threat in the Ravens' run-first offense. With quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) set to miss Week 14 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, DeSean Jackson will be a desperation flex play this weekend in deep fantasy leagues.

  DeSean Jackson Active For Week 12

  Baltimore Ravens wide receiver DeSean Jackson has been promoted to the active roster ahead of the Week 12 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 36-year-old will return to the field after missing each of the last two weeks. His return won't mean too much for this offense. The veteran speedster has one reception for 16 yards in his lone appearance with Baltimore this season. His involvement could change depending on the health of his fellow receivers. Regardless, he'll be a risky fantasy option in basically all formats.

  DeSean Jackson Back On The Field Wednesday

  Baltimore Ravens wide receiver DeSean Jackson (hamstring) was back at practice on Wednesday, but he wasn't listed on the official injury report because he remains on the practice squad. However, he could be promoted to the active roster and play in Week 12 against the Jacksonville Jaguars if he's healthy enough. D-Jax made his debut with Baltimore in Week 9 by catching one of his two targets for 16 yards on just 16 percent of the offensive snaps against the New Orleans Saints, but he didn't play in last week's win over the Carolina Panthers. The 35-year-old still has some speed, but he's unlikely to see many targets as a deep threat in the Ravens' run-first offense if he plays this Sunday against the Jaguars.

  Gus Edwards, DeSean Jackson Hopeful To Play In Week 12

  Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (knee/hamstring) and wide receiver DeSean Jackson (hamstring) could play in Week 12, as head coach John Harbaugh said the team is hopeful to get them back against the Jaguars. Edwards will immediately enter the fantasy start 'em, sit 'em bubble as a primary ball carrier in a top rushing attack, while Jackson figures to be a desperation deep league flex play. Demarcus Robinson, Devin Duvernay, and Mark Andrews should be ahead of him in the target pecking order, so the upside is limited in a low-volume passing offense.

  DeSean Jackson Questionable To Return Monday Night

  Baltimore Ravens wide receiver DeSean Jackson (hamstring) is questionable to return to the Monday night game against the New Orleans Saints with a hamstring injury. Jackson was making his debut with the team and had caught one of his two targets for 16 yards in the game before leaving. With No. 1 receiver Rashod Bateman (foot) done for the year, D-Jax and others -- Devin Duvernay, James Proche II and Demarcus Robinson -- will be asked to step up in the passing game. Rookie tight end Isaiah Likely is leading the team in receiving early in the fourth quarter with just one catch for a 24-yard touchdown. Jackson can still run despite being 35, but he'll probably be nothing more than a boom/bust deep threat for quarterback Lamar Jackson the rest of the season. It remains to be seen how serious the wideout's injury is.

  Rashod Bateman Put On IR, DeSean Jackson Elevated

  The Baltimore Ravens placed wide receiver Rashod Bateman (foot) on season-ending Injured Reserve on Monday and elevated receivers DeSean Jackson and Binjimen Victor from the practice squad to the active roster in a corresponding move. Fantasy managers in single-year leagues can safely drop Bateman. The 22-year-old needs surgery to fix a Lisfranc foot injury. Jackson will make his debut with Baltimore on Monday night against the New Orleans Saints, but he's likely to play a small role as a deep downfield threat behind Devin Duvernay, Demarcus Robinson and James Proche II. The 35-year-old Jackson can still run and could eventually become a valuable deep threat for Baltimore's passing game, but he's not a realistic fantasy starting option to close out Week 9.

  DeSean Jackson Joins Ravens

  The Baltimore Ravens have signed free-agent wide receiver DeSean Jackson to their practice squad. The 35-year-old is not ready to call it a career and might still have a little left in the tank. He hauled in 20 receptions for 454 yards and two touchdowns between the Las Vegas Raiders and Los Angeles Rams last season. The Ravens are in desperate need of a playmaking receiver. Jackson should give Baltimore a possible deep threat for quarterback Lamar Jackson. It's uncertain what kind of fantasy value Jackson will have in Baltimore. He'll likely be a risky boom-or-bust option as a deep ball threat.
