Jackson announced his retirement from professional football Wednesday as a member of the Eagles.
EDGE Analysis
The Eagles will hold a retirement ceremony for Jackson during Sunday's game against the 49ers. The 15-year veteran will long be remembered as one of the most explosive playmakers in NFL history. Jackson earned three Pro Bowl nods in his career and holds the NFL record for career touchdowns of 60-plus yards (26). He last suited up for Baltimore, for whom he appeared in seven games in 2022. In addition to Philadelphia and Baltimore, Jackson also had stints with Washington, Tampa Bay, Las Vegas and the Rams.

Jackson (illness) was waived by the Ravens on Saturday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's entirely possible Jackson could return to the Ravens provided he's able to pass through waivers. The veteran target played at least 10 offensive snaps in every game dating back to Week 12 and actually drew at least two targets in each one of those contests, but save for a deep reception back in Week 12, Jackson has been otherwise bottled up. Expect the Ravens to continue with their ground-oriented attack in Week 18 against the Bengals.

Jackson (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson missed all three of Baltimore's practices throughout the week due to an illness, and while it's encouraging that he wasn't ruled out entirely, his status may come down to a game-time decision. The veteran wide receiver's field-stretching abilities are unlikely to be utilized to their fullest Sunday, as starting quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) remains out for a fifth consecutive game.

Jackson (illness) missed a third consecutive practice Friday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson has been sidelined for the entire week of practice due to the illness. Even if he feels well enough to suit up for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Bengals, Jackson may play a limited role.

Jackson (illness) isn't practicing Thursday, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson's unspecified ailment has kept him away from the team for the first two days of Week 18 prep, but he'll still have a good chance to play Sunday against the Bengals if he's able to practice Friday in some capacity. Since making his season debut Week 9, Jackson has compiled a 9-153-0 receiving line on 17 targets through his first seven games with Baltimore.

Jackson didn't practice Wednesday due to an illness.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson now has two more chances to return to practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals, but given his limited volume in the Ravens' passing attack, the veteran speedster isn't a high-percentage fantasy lineup option in Week 18.

Jackson had one catch for nine yards on two targets Sunday against the Steelers.
EDGE Analysis
Baltimore mustered just 14 completions and 130 passing yards Sunday and Mark Andrews was the primary target, which left little room for other Ravens pass catchers to make an impact. Jackson has not caught more than two passes in any game since joining the Ravens and has just two combined receptions for 19 yards over his last three games. If Tyler Huntley gets another start Sunday, there will likely be few targets to go around to Ravens receivers, including to Jackson.

Jackson (illness) returned to a full practice Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson sat out Wednesday's practice, but the wideout's return to the field in full Thursday puts him on track to be available Sunday night against the Steelers. That said, with an 8-144-0 line on 15 targets in six games this season, Jackson's not a high-percentage fantasy option.

Jackson missed Wednesday's practice while recovering from an illness, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
An absence early in the practice week helps his chances to make a full recovery before Sunday's game against the Steelers. Jackson has been a part-time player even with the Ravens desperate for help at wide receiver, seeing either two or three targets in each of his six appearances for the team while never playing more than 35 percent of the snaps.

Jackson caught one of two targets for 10 yards in Saturday's 17-9 win over the Falcons.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson operated as Baltimore's No. 3 receiver, playing just 15 of the Ravens' 52 offensive snaps. The 36-year-old had a quiet day with the Ravens leaning heavily on the run and quarterback Tyler Huntley attempting only 17 passes. With fellow wideout Devin Duvernay (foot) out for the season, Jackson is a candidate to see more playing time. However, it doesn't appear the Ravens are committed to making him a significant part of the game plan. Jackson should remain off the fantasy radar when the Ravens host the Steelers in Week 17.
