Quarterback
Tyler Huntley: Everything is trending towards Huntley starting again this weekend. With the Ravens locked into the playoffs (they can still win the division and play the Bengals next week), we will have to follow Lamar Jackson’s status for the next two weeks, but we are no longer holding our breath here.
Huntley was once again not tasked to do much lifting on Sunday against the Falcons, completing 9-of-17 passes for 115 yards (6.8 Y/A) with a touchdown. He added 26 yards and a two-point conversion on the ground to boost his way up to a respectable 2QB scoring week (QB15).
The Ravens have swung into even more of a ground and pound lifestyle than normal with Huntley, posting a passing rate -8% below expectation.
When Huntley started against Pittsburgh in Week 14, he went 8-of-12 passing for 88 yards with 31 yards rushing before leaving the game with a concussion (62% of the snaps). Huntley does not yet have a QB1 scoring week since taking over this season and has just one over his seven career starts. That leaves Huntley as a rushing based option in 2QB formats.
