Despite Lamar Jackson's recent absence in practice, Baltimore Ravens fans and fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief in regards to his status against the Denver Broncos on Sunday.

Jackson didn't participate in practice on Wednesday or Thursday and was listed on the Ravens' injury report with a back/knee issue. The star quarterback revealed on Friday that he'll play against Denver and his availability "wasn't in doubt," per ESPN's Jamison Hensley.

Meanwhile, managers should keep DK Metcalf on the bench. Metcalf is set to miss his second consecutive game due to a sprained MCL after he was ruled out on the Seattle Seahawks' latest injury report.
