The Baltimore Ravens are in trouble.

Their playoff lives are hanging on by a thread, and now Lamar Jackson is injured.

They play Saturday night against the Green Bay Packers.

On Thursday, the Ravens announced Jackson is doubtful for Saturday's game with a back injury.

Jackson hasn't practiced all week.

His backup, Tyler Huntley, will get the start if Jackson is unable to go.

Behind Huntley would be Cooper Rush.

It's certainly not ideal for the Ravens, although Huntley does some things well and might be able to at least keep the Ravens in the game.

In fantasy football, it's much worse news.

Even at this point, Jackson is a guy that teams use as a starter.

Without him, you'll want to look at a guy like Tyler Shough, C.J. Stroud or Cam Ward, if available.

Huntley would also not be the worst replacement if you're in a deep league. He has some rushing upside and is an accurate passer.

This hasn't been a pretty season at all for the Ravens or for Jackson.
