News: 8 hours agoJackson (ankle) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest against the Steelers.

Spin: Jackson was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to an ankle issue that kept him out of drills entirely Thursday. He told Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com on Friday that he was stepped on by a teammate during Wednesday's session, but he's also feeling "pretty good," as evidenced by his ability to cap Week 14 with a full practice. Jackson thus will continue to direct the Ravens offense Sunday versus a Pittsburgh defense that has allowed the seventh-most passing yards (3,177) to opposing quarterbacks in 12 games this season.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: The reigning fantasy QB1, Jackson outscored QB2 Josh Allen by a hefty 51.3 points in 2024. He remained his usual elite self as a rusher (he's finished first or second among QBs in rushing yards all seven seasons), but also made a huge leap as a passer (career highs in pass attempts, completions, yards and TDs, as well as a career-low four INTs and a league-high 8.8 YPA). The only "knock" on Jackson that is relative to other top fantasy QBs is rushing TDs (he has 14 total over the last four seasons and had zero carries inside the opponent's 5-yard line last season), but he does more than enough otherwise to provide elite fantasy output. With an almost-identical supporting cast to 2024, we should expect more of the same from the 28-year-old this season.
