WEEK 9 · THURSDAY NIGHT · FULL PPR
Start Thursday or wait? Jaguars–Ravens Week 9 fantasy calls
Jacksonville visits Baltimore Thursday, Nov. 5 at 8:15 PM ET. Here are four decisions to make before the first lineup lock.
By Dub · Nov. 3, 2026
Quarterback update: Baltimore says Joe Fagnano is in line to start with Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley injured. Fagnano is dealing with an ankle injury himself. Sit him in one-QB leagues and wait for official availability before using him in Superflex. The change increases uncertainty for Baltimore pass catchers and scoring opportunities.

Projections below are a Nov. 3 snapshot. Open the live comparisons for updated projections and availability before kickoff.
FF lean: Zay Flowers over Jameson Williams
Conservative Flowers estimate: 14.9 PPR FPThe current FF call favors Flowers. The 14.9 comes from a V3 reconstruction using the available Week 9 inputs. It is a conservative point estimate, not a floor or a Fagnano-specific simulation. Fagnano being in line to start lowers our confidence in Baltimore’s passing ceiling, and the earlier snapshot does not establish the size of that effect. Check the live comparison and official availability before kickoff.

Lean Chuba Hubbard over Derrick Henry
16.7 vs 12.2 PPR FPIf both are available and you need only one RB, Hubbard remains my full-PPR lean. Henry could get more carries, but Baltimore’s scoring opportunities are harder to project with the quarterback change. If you need both, use Henry in an RB slot Thursday.

Prefer Javonte Williams over Bhayshul Tuten
17.9 vs 16.7 PPR FPWilliams already has a small projected edge. Tuten’s availability was unresolved on our board, so check the inactive list before committing to him.

Slight lean to Brenton Strange over Dallas Goedert
10.1 vs 9.8 PPR FPA 0.3-point gap is a close call. If both are active and you choose Strange, start him in the TE slot and keep FLEX free.
