First look at fantasy football for NFL Week 15: What to expect from Ravens if Lamar Jackson is out

Nobody can make a reasonable case that Baltimore Ravens backup QB Tyler Huntley, in his second season after being undrafted out of the University of Utah, is as good as 2019 NFL MVP Lamar Jackson, one of the top players in fantasy football. Still, when Jackson left Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Cleveland Browns on a cart with a sprained ankle of yet-to-be-determined severity, Huntley nearly led the team to victory. He hardly appeared overwhelmed, just like in Week 11, when he led the Ravens to a 16-13 road win against the Chicago Bears.

Week 15 is approaching and with it the fantasy football playoffs in most leagues. Should Jackson need to miss games, ESPN Fantasy will surely recommend more proven quarterback options than Huntley. He has fewer than 100 career pass attempts. Still, should Huntley have to start the Week 15 home game against the Green Bay Packers, he should be able to keep other Ravens relevant. After all, he kept TE Mark Andrews, WRs Rashod Bateman and Marquise Brown and the running game active in Cleveland, and the Ravens scored more than 20 points for the first time since Week 9.
