Lamar Jackson (QB, BAL) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 7% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was added in some leagues ahead of Sunday’s action as it was revealed that Joe Flacco might miss Week 11. Flacco was on crutches during the bye week, and as of writing, this has not received an official timetable for return.

It sounds like Flacco could end up playing in Week 11 or could end up missing more than just one week. We’ll know more once a diagnosis is revealed, but Flacco should be considered questionable at best until more information is revealed. That makes Jackson an interesting spot starter in deep leagues, especially considering his matchup.

Going into Week 10 Cincinnati was allowing the fourth most points to opposing quarterbacks, and New Orleans hung 51 points on the Bengals in Cincinnati in their last game. Drew Brees had as a many touchdown passes (three) as interceptions. Lamar Jackson is no Drew Brees, but he still is facing a terrible defense. If Jackson has to start the Ravens would probably focus on the run, but as a one-week deep league streamer Jackson isn’t a bad option.
