DESEAN JACKSON NEWS

Questionable for Week 18 Jackson (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Impact Jackson missed all three of Baltimore's practices throughout the week due to an illness, and while it's encouraging that he wasn't ruled out entirely, his status may come down to a game-time decision. The veteran wide receiver's field-stretching abilities are unlikely to be utilized to their fullest Sunday, as starting quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) remains out for a fifth consecutive game.

Remains sidelined by illness Jackson (illness) missed a third consecutive practice Friday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Jackson has been sidelined for the entire week of practice due to the illness. Even if he feels well enough to suit up for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Bengals, Jackson may play a limited role.

Missing another practice Jackson (illness) isn't practicing Thursday, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Impact Jackson's unspecified ailment has kept him away from the team for the first two days of Week 18 prep, but he'll still have a good chance to play Sunday against the Bengals if he's able to practice Friday in some capacity. Since making his season debut Week 9, Jackson has compiled a 9-153-0 receiving line on 17 targets through his first seven games with Baltimore.

Misses practice Wednesday Jackson didn't practice Wednesday due to an illness.

Impact Jackson now has two more chances to return to practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals, but given his limited volume in the Ravens' passing attack, the veteran speedster isn't a high-percentage fantasy lineup option in Week 18.

Quiet stretch continues Jackson had one catch for nine yards on two targets Sunday against the Steelers.

Impact Baltimore mustered just 14 completions and 130 passing yards Sunday and Mark Andrews was the primary target, which left little room for other Ravens pass catchers to make an impact. Jackson has not caught more than two passes in any game since joining the Ravens and has just two combined receptions for 19 yards over his last three games. If Tyler Huntley gets another start Sunday, there will likely be few targets to go around to Ravens receivers, including to Jackson.

Back at practice Jackson (illness) returned to a full practice Thursday.

Impact Jackson sat out Wednesday's practice, but the wideout's return to the field in full Thursday puts him on track to be available Sunday night against the Steelers. That said, with an 8-144-0 line on 15 targets in six games this season, Jackson's not a high-percentage fantasy option.

Comes down with illness Jackson missed Wednesday's practice while recovering from an illness, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Impact An absence early in the practice week helps his chances to make a full recovery before Sunday's game against the Steelers. Jackson has been a part-time player even with the Ravens desperate for help at wide receiver, seeing either two or three targets in each of his six appearances for the team while never playing more than 35 percent of the snaps.

Minimal involvement in win Jackson caught one of two targets for 10 yards in Saturday's 17-9 win over the Falcons.

Impact Jackson operated as Baltimore's No. 3 receiver, playing just 15 of the Ravens' 52 offensive snaps. The 36-year-old had a quiet day with the Ravens leaning heavily on the run and quarterback Tyler Huntley attempting only 17 passes. With fellow wideout Devin Duvernay (foot) out for the season, Jackson is a candidate to see more playing time. However, it doesn't appear the Ravens are committed to making him a significant part of the game plan. Jackson should remain off the fantasy radar when the Ravens host the Steelers in Week 17.

DECEMBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Invisible in loss Jackson didn't catch any of his three targets in Saturday's 13-3 loss to the Browns.

Impact Jackson once again didn't make a huge impact Saturday, as he played just 32 percent of Baltimore's offensive snaps and failed to haul in a single target. With fellow wide receiver Devin Duvernay having suffered a potentially significant injury during Tuesday's practice, the speedy veteran could be in line for more snaps down the stretch alongside Demarcus Robinson, James Proche and the newly acquired Sammy Watkins.

Snares two receptions Jackson caught two passes for 34 yards on two targets Sunday against the Steelers.

Impact The veteran played just 11 snaps Sunday but was effective with his limited opportunities. Jackson played the third-most snaps among Baltimore receivers, which shows how often the team was going with tight end-heavy looks given the injury situation at quarterback. Jackson and the Ravens play at the Browns in Week 15.

Signed to active roster Baltimore signed Jackson to its active roster Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Jackson, who initially signed a practice-squad deal with Baltimore, was elevated for the third and final time in Week 13. Across his first three appearances of the season, the veteran wideout secured five of eight targets for 100 yards. Now that he's signed to the active roster, Jackson figures to garner a similar role in the Ravens' passing attack for the remainder of the season, but given Lamar's current knee injury, Baltimore may struggle to create much traction through the air.

Moved up to active roster The Ravens elevated Jackson from the practice squad for Sunday's game against the Titans, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact Jackson will be added to Baltimore's active roster for the second game in a row after catching two of his three targets for 74 yards and a touchdown in last week's loss to the Jaguars. The 34-year-old wideout once again figures to serve as a deep-threat option behind Devin Duvernay and Demarcus Robinson against Tennessee. Since this is his third activation of the season, Jackson will now require a full spot on the Ravens' active roster to continue suiting up for the team moving forward.

Heads back to practice squad Jackson reverted to the Ravens' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Jackson was elevated for the second time this season and appeared to serve as the Ravens' No. 3 wideout behind Devin Duvernay and Demarcus Robinson in Week 12. While the 35-year-old Jackson ultimately played fewer offensive snaps (10) than James Proche (14), the veteran deep threat made a bigger impact by catching two of his three targets for 74 yards. Jackson will now be eligible for just one more activation from the practice squad before requiring an active roster spot to continue suiting up for Baltimore this season.

Delivers as deep threat Jackson recorded two receptions on three targets for 74 yards in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Jaguars.

Impact Jackson wasn't a significant part of Baltimore's offense from a target perspective, but only Josh Oliver recorded more yards. Nearly all of Jackson's production came on a 62-yard reception late in the fourth quarter, which helped set up a go-ahead touchdown for Baltimore. Jackson officially remains on the Ravens' practice squad, though he has been on the active roster for two of the team's last three games.
