Lamar Jackson at Cleveland — Ankle Injury Clouds Week 6 Outlook

Lamar Jackson remains questionable for Sunday's road clash in Cleveland after missing practice again on Thursday with an ankle injury suffered on Oct. 4. While the coaching staff suggested he could play without practicing, back-to-back absences make his status genuinely uncertain, with Tyler Huntley ready to step in. Fantasy managers should check back often for the latest updates prior to Sunday's kickoff.

If active, Jackson still carries elite upside, though an ankle issue could bring limited mobility outside the pocket. Our weekly projection pegs him for 208 passing yards, 1.3 passing scores, and 42 rushing yards (17.9 fantasy points). His start rate has dipped to 44% due to the injury cloud, but he remains a must-start option if cleared—just ensure you have an insurance contingency ready.

Patrick Mahomes vs. Chargers: Undefeated Chiefs Poised for Division Showdown

Mahomes leads the 4-0 Chiefs into an AFC West home date against the winless Chargers. While Kansas City's pass-catching room takes a hit with Tyquan Thornton landing on injured reserve and Rashee Rice nursing an injury, Mahomes continues to run the offense with high efficiency alongside Travis Kelce and Xavier Worthy.

With Kansas City heavily favored at home, a positive game script could limit late-game throwing volume. Still, our models project him for around 234 passing yards, nearly two touchdowns, and 18.3 fantasy points. Even with banged-up weapons, fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats.

  • Currently 62.88 points behind the leader: Josh Allen
  • He is listed on the injury report about his Ankle (Since Oct 4, 2026). Check out his player news for a closer look.
