Tyler huntley: College highlights| Fantasy| Did get drafted
College Highlights:
Huntley will start Sunday’s regular-season finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, coach John Harbaugh said after Friday’s practice. Lamar Jackson will miss his fourth straight game with a right ankle injury. He didn’t practice all week and has suited up only once in the past 26 days since hurting his ankle on Dec. 12 in Cleveland.
This is the first time this season that Huntley has been named the starter heading into a game. Jackson had been listed as questionable on the team’s previous three injury reports.
Fantasy:
Undrafted out of Utah in 2020, Huntley has been impressive in stepping in for Jackson. In three starts, Huntley has thrown for 631 yards and rushed for 167 yards, totaling four touchdowns (two passing and two rushing).
But Huntley is coming off his most disappointing performance of the season in Sunday’s 20-19 loss to the Rams. He threw a critical interception late in the first half and failed to lead a touchdown drive, which was the first time the Baltimore offense had not reached the end zone in a game in three years.
Did get drafted:
Huntley had only two days of practice before the Rams game because he had just been activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list. He acknowledged that he was still feeling the effects in his chest last week and didn’t have the same energy level after not eating for a couple of days.
This is the first time that Jackson has been sidelined by an injury. When Jackson hurt his ankle in a 24-22 loss in Cleveland, the Ravens insisted it was a minor injury. But the only time Jackson practiced was on Dec. 29, when he moved from drill to drill with a pronounced limp.
“He wants to go out there every time,” Huntley said of Jackson. “It’s so hard not seeing him going out there and being great like he usually is. He’s a great asset to this league and to this team. I can’t wait for [him] to feel better.”
