Ravens QBs Injured In Week 8, Hampers Fantasy Outlook For Zay Flowers and Co.

In Week 8, Baltimore Ravens quarterbacks Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley suffered devastating injuries, significantly impacting the team's fantasy outlook for players like Zay Flowers and Derrick Henry. The Baltimore Ravens fell to the Buffalo Bills, with both quarterbacks sidelined for an extended period. Lamar Jackson, the two-time MVP, suffered a thumb injury on his throwing hand and is set for surgery, joining the Injured Reserve list.

Backup Tyler Huntley was thrust into a familiar role as the primary quarterback, but he was forced out after just 10 snaps due to injury. Rookie Joe Fagnano stepped in as the emergency quarterback, and the Ravens' offense struggled under his leadership. The injuries affected key players, as Derrick Henry and Zay Flowers faced reduced volume in their performances.

Flowers, Baltimore's top wide receiver, struggled without Jackson and Huntley, catching no passes in Week 8, his worst performance of the season. If Tyler Huntley returns for the upcoming game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Flowers presents favorable fantasy upside. However, without Huntley, it becomes challenging to make a compelling case for Flowers bouncing back against the No. 2 scoring defense in the NFL.

Running back Derrick Henry, who had a productive start to the season, is likely to face increased workload due to the absence of the offensive line, and he could see more opportunities against Jacksonville.
