He’s still going to be a top QB target for fantasy football this season.Ravens head coach John Harbaugh told reporters on Thursday that Jackson wouldn’t be practicing but we can all rest easy, because his X-rays came back negative and there’s “no damage or anything.” So we’ve avoided a potentially big crisis right before the stretch run of fantasy football draft season.

“Well, I am if they have a belt,” he said with a laugh. “They don’t have to have a name if they have a belt, which we are trying to make happen. But I’m also not in a rush. You know, I’m 28. I’ve always been honest about my career.
