Lamar Jackson Could See Full Drives Under Center

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson could see more playing time moving forward, according to head coach John Harbaugh.

Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions

Offense reigns supreme in the NFL these days. In Week 9, we saw scores of 45-35, 42-28, 37-21, and 38-14.

Waiver Wire Express - Week 10 Lightning Round

Week 9 felt a bit "chalkier" than other recent NFL slates, with many big names going off and very few lower-owned players coming on to vulture touchdowns from the big guns.

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that running back Kenneth Dixon (knee), who has been on Injured Reserve all year, is "having issues behind our coach's control."
