Baltimore Ravens Transactions

Saturday, January 14
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) has not played since Week 14 and has already been ruled out for Sunday's Wild-Card matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. Although it seems unlikely that Jackson will see the field again this season, the Ravens reportedly still view the 26-year-old as their franchise signal-caller and intend to negotiate a long-term deal with him this offseason. If the two sides are unable to agree on a contract, Baltimore would be expected to franchise tag Jackson next season. His value to the team is clear as Jackson was voted as the league's MVP in 2019 and holds a 45-16 regular season record as a starter.

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards has cleared the concussion protocol, so he will play in Sunday night's wild-card game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Edwards has rushed 87 times for 433 yards and three touchdowns this season in nine games played but has not caught a pass on two total targets. The Bengals have allowed the sixth-fewest fantasy points to running backs this season, so Edwards' role in a split backfield with J.K. Dobbins doesn't present much upside in this spot. Edwards will likely have to score multiple touchdowns to be a DFS-viable option, and it's tough to see Baltimore's offense performing well with backup quarterback Tyler Huntley likely under center once again.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) has officially been ruled out for the Wild Card game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Jackson missed each of the Ravens' final five games and despite speculation that he'd return in the playoffs, he won't suit up in the opening round. Tyler Huntley (shoulder/wrist) was a full participant in practice Friday but was listed as questionable. It's not safe to assume Huntley will definitely play, but there is a good chance. If Huntley can't go, Anthony Brown will make his second straight start. With Jackson out, continue to downgrade the outlooks of all Ravens' running backs and pass-catchers.

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (concussion) was not seen at practice on Wednesday. The 27-year-old's status for wild-card weekend against the Cincinnati Bengals is up in the air after he suffered a concussion in the Week 18 regular season finale last Sunday against these same Bengals. Edwards will need to pass through the league's concussion protocols and get back on the practice field in the next two days to have a shot at suiting up. Coming off a major knee injury that kept him out all of 2021, Edwards saw 87 carries for 433 yards and three touchdowns in nine games this year. J.K. Dobbins will be Baltimore's primary back either way this Sunday, but if Edwards is ruled out, Kenyan Drake will take on a bigger change-of-pace role.
Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that offensive lineman Alex Cappa (ankle) will not play in the wild-card playoff game against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday night. Taylor wouldn't say if Cappa will be able to play if the Bengals advance to the Divisional Round. The 27-year-old guard was injured in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Ravens and needed a cart to take him back to the locker room. There's a good chance his season may be over, which would be a notable blow to Cincy's offensive line as they look to get back to the Super Bowl. With Cappa out this weekend, Max Scharping will look to step up in a starting role against a strong Ravens pass rush.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) missed another practice on Thursday, while backup Tyler Huntley (shoulder, wrist) was seen throwing in the portion of practice open to the media. Huntley was listed as limited on Wednesday but didn't throw at all, so this represents progress for him ahead of the wild-card matchup on Sunday night against the Cincinnati Bengals. Jackson hasn't practiced or played since suffering a PCL sprain on Dec. 4, so he's a long shot to play this weekend. Huntley was rested in the Week 18 regular season finale, but the Ravens are hoping he can start under center against Cincy. If Huntley cannot go, rookie Anthony Brown would be forced into another start, which isn't ideal for Baltimore's already struggling offense.
Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (concussion) returned to practice on Thursday and was wearing a non-contact jersey and foam protection on his helmet after suffering a concussion in the Week 18 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. It's progress for Edwards, but his status remains unclear for the wild-card game on Sunday night against the Bengals. J.K. Dobbins was rested in the regular season finale, but he will return for wild-card weekend to serve as the lead back. However, with quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) unlikely to play and with backup Tyler Huntley (shoulder, wrist) questionable, fantasy managers should be fading all of the team's offensive skill players for a second straight matchup against their division rivals. If Edwards doesn't clear the league's concussion protocol, Kenyan Drake will take on a bigger role behind Dobbins.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) remained sidelined during Thursday's practice and is not expected to play in the wild-card game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday night. The 23-year-old took to social media to say that he's still dealing with inflammation in his knee after suffering a Grade 2 sprain of his PCL on Dec. 4. He mentioned that he wishes he could give 100% of himself, but can't right now. That being said, Jackson basically ruled himself out of this contest. Tyler Huntley (shoulder, wrist) was able to throw during practice on Thursday. Possibly, Huntley is able to suit up Sunday versus Cincinnati. Otherwise, Anthony Brown would be asked to make the start under center this weekend.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley (shoulder) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice. Huntley was also limited on Wednesday, but he did resume throwing on Thursday, which is good news for the organization. Quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) didn't practice and appears doubtful for this game. It appears Huntley has a chance at playing, but the team will likely wait until later in the week before making a final decision. Otherwise, Anthony Brown would be asked to start if both quarterbacks are unable to play this weekend.

When asked about Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson's (knee) availability for the playoffs, head coach John Harbaugh said, "I don't really have an update right now to share with you." An unnamed player said that even if Jackson gets back on the field for the playoffs -- Baltimore plays at the Cincinnati Bengals this Sunday in the wild-card round -- he's unlikely to be the normal Lamar Jackson in terms of his physical abilities while battling a Grade 2 PCL sprain. The 26-year-old QB hasn't played since getting hurt in Week 13, and given the long layoff, it's unrealistic to expect him to come back in right away and flourish if he's active this weekend. Backup Tyler Huntley (shoulder) took the Week 18 regular season finale off, but he's expected to get the start this weekend if Jackson is ruled out.
It's not looking good for Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson's (knee) chances of playing on wild-card weekend this Sunday night against the Cincinnati Bengals, according to sources. Jackson is fighting an uphill battle to play and has missed the last five games after spraining his left PCL on Dec. 4. He has tried to do some work on his injured knee but just hasn't felt right to this point. Jackson has not practiced at all since getting hurt over a month ago, so even if he were to return against Cincy this weekend, there's a good chance he'd let fantasy managers down. Backup Tyler Huntley (shoulder, wrist) sat out the Week 18 regular season finale to get additional rest, but he'll be the likely starter on Sunday if Jackson is officially ruled out.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) remained sidelined at practice on Wednesday, while backup Tyler Huntley (shoulder) was mostly going through the motions in warmups and didn't attempt a pass. Rookie Anthony Brown saw most of the repetitions like he did last week. Jackson hasn't played or practiced since spraining the PCL in his left knee on Dec. 4, and he's facing an uphill battle to play against the Cincinnati Bengals in the wild-card game this Sunday night. Huntley, who sat out the Week 18 regular season finale, could also be in danger of missing this weekend's game while battling a sprained right shoulder. It will be hard to get excited for any of the Ravens offensive skill players in fantasy if Brown is forced to make another start.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley (shoulder, wrist) was listed as a limited participant in the team's practice on Wednesday. Huntley reportedly was not throwing during the portion of practice viewed by the media. His status will be worth monitoring throughout the rest of the week as Lamar Jackson (knee) continues to be sidelined at practice and is considered unlikely to suit up for the Ravens' Wild Card matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. If both Jackson and Huntley are ultimately ruled out, Anthony Brown would be in line for a second consecutive start.

The Baltimore Ravens agreed in principle on Tuesday to make All-Pro linebacker Roquan Smith the highest-paid at his position in NFL history with a five-year, $100 million deal, according to a source. He will receive $45 million guaranteed and $60 million in total guarantees. Smith becomes the first off-ball linebacker to get $20 million per year. Baltimore acquired the 25-year-old pass-rusher from the Chicago Bears in late October, and Smith was a force right away for the Ravens, finishing with 86 tackles (51 solo), seven tackles for loss, two sacks, an interception and three passes defensed in nine games. He should once again be a top pick at the linebacker position in IDP fantasy leagues in 2023. Most importantly for the Ravens, the franchise tag remains in play for quarterback Lamar Jackson.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver DeSean Jackson (illness) and tight end Nick Boyle were waived on Saturday. Jackson appeared in seven games with the team, catching nine passes for 153 yards. Boyle primarily served as a blocker and was targeted just twice over the last two seasons.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley (wrist, shoulder) is still questionable for the AFC North showdown with Cincinnati. However, head coach John Harbaugh is remaining mum on Huntley's availability, with ESPN's Adam Schefter reporting that a decision on who will start Week 18 won't be made until pregame warmups. Lamar Jackson (knee) has already been ruled out, so it is down to Huntley and Anthony Brown, who would be making his first career start if the former doesn't suit up. Either way, Huntley or Brown won't make ideal fantasy options against an adequate Bengals defense.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley (shoulder, wrist) is officially inactive for the Week 18 regular season finale against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. With Lamar Jackson (knee) still missing as well, rookie Anthony Brown will make his first career start. With the Ravens unable to win the AFC North division with a win over Cincy now, they have elected to rest Huntley another week in case Jackson is unable to return for the first round of the playoffs next weekend. Brown played in relief of a concussed Huntley in Week 14 against the Pittsburgh Steelers and went 3-for-5 for 16 yards and was sacked once. He shouldn't be started in any fantasy lineups, and it would be smart to avoid the Ravens offense altogether in Week 18.
Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (head) has been ruled out for the remainder of Week 18 against the Cincinnati Bengals. He finishes the day with four rushes for 16 yards. The Ravens made J.K. Dobbins a healthy scratch on Sunday, so losing Edwards leaves the team with just Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill out of the backfield.

Baltimore Ravens defensive end Calais Campbell (knee) is questionable for the Week 18 AFC North meeting with the Bengals. The veteran almost played in the Sunday night matchup versus Pittsburgh in Week 17. However, he wasn't 100%, so he missed his second straight game. Campbell has 5.5 sacks this season, although he's still searching for one more to reach the century mark for his career. He'll have a good chance of getting it done against Cincinnati's offensive line, assuming he's available for the season finale.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) has already been ruled out for Sunday's Week 18 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. The 26-year-old has not practiced in a month and continues to have swelling in his knee. Despite that, the Ravens believe there is a strong chance that Jackson starts during their wild-card game next weekend. This seems shocking considering Jackson hasn't been on the field in quite some time, but is great news for the Ravens offense. We'll have to wait and see how Jackson feels during the next week before the Ravens make a final decision.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley (shoulder, wrist) was limited again in practice on Thursday. This puts the quarterback situation in flux as Lamar Jackson isn't likely to suit up in Week 18 and Huntley is still rehabbing. Offensive Coordinator, Greg Roman, even said that it's a "tough situation" when the team's quarterback can't practice. As of right now, signs are pointing to Huntley staying under center, but if he can't rehab enough to a point where he can play, Anthony Brown would be the next one up.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) is slated to miss his fifth straight game as he's officially been ruled out for the contest against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Ravens have already clinched a playoff berth, so they're likely just resting Jackson one more week to be ready for the postseason. Tyler Huntley will draw his fifth start of the season if he can play (didn't throw in practice this week), but he's a weak quarterback DFS play against a strong Bengals defense. Huntley has posted just three touchdowns in five games he's appeared in, so there are simply better DFS bargains this week.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley (shoulder, wrist) has a "good chance" to play against the Cincinnati Bengals, according to head coach John Harbaugh. Huntley was limited in practice all week and didn't throw passes due to shoulder tendinitis, but he could very well suit up in Week 18. Lamar Jackson (knee) has been ruled out, so if Huntley can't go, Anthony Brown would start for Baltimore. The Ravens have already clinched a playoff berth, so it'll be interesting to see what decision they make if Huntley's game-day status is close and could go either way. It's likely that Huntley will be listed as questionable on Friday's final injury report for Week 18.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley (shoulder, wrist) and wide receiver DeSean Jackson (illness) are both questionable to play on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals in the Week 18 regular season finale. Huntley was limited all week while dealing with right shoulder tendinitis, and there appears to be a good chance that he will make his fifth straight start with Lamar Jackson (knee) already being ruled out. If Huntley doesn't play, Anthony Brown would be forced into action under center for Baltimore. Jackson did not practice all week and could be rested for the playoffs. Because the Bengals' Week 17 game was canceled, Baltimore can longer win the AFC North division by beating Cincy this weekend, so they may be less motivated to play their regulars for a full game.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver DeSean Jackson (illness) did not practice on Wednesday due to an illness. If Jackson is able to return to the practice field on Thursday or Friday, he'll have a good shot at playing in Week 18 against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals. The 36-year-old has been forced into action for the Ravens receiving corps due to injuries this year, but he hasn't managed to do much in his seven games played, catching nine of his 17 targets for 153 yards and no touchdowns. D-Jax just can't be trusted in DFS or season-long leagues in this low-volume passing attack as anything more than a long shot to produce with backup quarterback Tyler Huntley, who is likely to make his fifth straight start with Lamar Jackson (knee) injured.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley (shoulder, wrist) is on the Week 18 injury report and was listed as limited in Wednesday's practice. Meanwhile, Lamar Jackson (knee) hasn't practiced since spraining his PCL on Dec. 4, so it's looking like Huntley will make his fifth straight start this Sunday against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals. Huntley hasn't had much to work with in the passing game -- Demarcus Robinson is the team's No. 1 due to injuries -- and he's thrown for only 471 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in his four starts. He's added 33 carries for 96 yards on the ground. The 24-year-old signal-caller is a low-end QB2 in superflex leagues and lacks upside in DFS against a Bengals defense that has been stingy against QBs in fantasy this year.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley (wrist, shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Huntley is dealing with a pair of injuries but is on track to start Week 18 against the Bengals. Lamar Jackson (knee) has not practiced since suffering a PCL sprain on December 4. Jackson will have two more chances to practice to have an opportunity to play against Cincinnati. Huntley has started the last five weeks while filling in for Jackson. The 24-year-old has thrown for 658 yards, two touchdowns, and three interceptions while rushing for 137 yards and a touchdown during those starts. Huntley remains a borderline QB2 if he draws the start again in Week 18.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) was absent for his 14th straight practice on Thursday. Meanwhile, Tyler Huntley (shoulder, wrist) didn't throw during the portion of practice open to the media. Huntley is likely to be listed as limited for the second straight day. Because the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals aren't going to finish their Week 17 game against the Buffalo Bills, it would mean that the Ravens have no shot at winning the AFC North division by beating Cincy in the Week 18 regular season finale. Therefore, it's highly unlikely that we'll see Jackson return this weekend, and his availability for the playoffs at this point is also in question. Huntley is trending toward making his fifth straight start. He has very limited upside as a low-end QB2 in a non-existent passing attack.
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver DeSean Jackson (illness) was absent from practice on Thursday for the second day in a row. Jackson's status for the Week 18 regular season finale on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals is now in jeopardy, although a return to practice on Friday would put him in a good spot to be able to play. Now that Sunday's game against Cincy won't give Baltimore a chance to win the AFC North division, it's likely that the Ravens won't put their starters in danger of suffering any injuries before the postseason. It means that there's a chance D-Jax is rested this weekend. None of the Ravens' pass-catchers have really been attractive in fantasy with backup quarterback Tyler Huntley under center anyway. If Jackson is unable to play, Sammy Watkins and James Proche II would have bigger roles behind Demarcus Robinson.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) initially suffered a PCL sprain on Dec. 4 against the Denver Broncos, and a month later on Wednesday, Jan. 4, he's still missing from practice. Baltimore is in a unique situation for the Week 18 regular season finale against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals. If the Bengals don't finish their postponed Monday night game against the Buffalo Bills, the Bengals will clinch the NFC North division, making Sunday's tilt mostly meaningless for Baltimore. In that case, it would make sense to rest Jackson for another week heading into the playoffs, unless the team wants to get him some work in after such a long layoff. As of right now, the 25-year-old looks set to miss yet another game, with backup Tyler Huntley getting another start in the Ravens' lackluster passing attack.

Baltimore Ravens defensive end Calais Campbell (knee) is inactive for Sunday's AFC North meeting with Pittsburgh. The veteran needs one more sack to reach 100 for his career. However, Campbell will now miss his second consecutive game because of a left knee injury, so he'll need to wait another week before getting another chance at the century mark.
The Baltimore Ravens don't know whether quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) will be ready to play in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, which could be for the AFC North title. Jackson has been out four straight games due to a PCL sprain on Dec. 4 against the Denver Broncos, and head coach John Harbaugh said he's unsure if Jackson will return to practice this week. Harbaugh wouldn't answer if Jackson's status for the playoffs would be in jeopardy if he doesn't practice this week. Even if he doesn't play in Week 18, the Ravens would like to see Jackson return to practice this week. Backup Tyler Huntley has struggled to move the offense consistently in Jackson's absence, but he also has very little to work with outside of tight end Mark Andrews in the passing attack. Fantasy managers still playing for a championship shouldn't expect Jackson to return this weekend.

Baltimore Ravens defensive end Calais Campbell (knee) is expected to suit up for the Week 17 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The veteran pass rusher went down with a knee injury in Week 15. He was forced to miss the following game because of the issue. However, it appears he's healthy enough to get back on the field this weekend. The Ravens will certainly be happy to have him back this week. Campbell has 5.5 sacks and four tackles for loss this season.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) won't be rushed back as he recovers from a PCL sprain. So far, Jackson has missed parts of four games and doesn't have an exact timetable for his return. Fortunately for the Ravens, they have already secured a playoff berth, so they can afford to be cautious with Jackson. In the meantime, Tyler Huntley will continue to start under center, ranking as a QB2 in fantasy football.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Demarcus Robinson (groin) didn't practice Thursday. He received the day off to rest a groin injury. The 28-year-old will try to practice on Friday to increase his chances of suiting up against the Steelers. With all the injuries to Baltimore's wide receiver core, Robinson has been the Ravens' WR1 over the last few weeks. Robinson has caught at least five passes in four of the previous five weeks. Overall, the former Kansas City Chief has caught 45 passes for 425 yards and two touchdowns over 15 games in 2022. Robinson is on the flex radar against the Steelers, which rank 17th in DVOA versus opposing WR1s.
The Baltimore Ravens will reportedly resume long-term contract negotiations with quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) after the 2023 season. Jackson bet on himself without a long-term deal locked up heading into the 2022 season, and he's now missed a month due to a sprained PCL in his knee that he suffered in Week 13 against the Denver Broncos. He has yet to return to practice and looks likely to miss another game this Sunday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Despite his injury at the end of the year for the second straight season, Jackson remains one of the best dual-threat signal-callers in the NFL, although he wasn't exactly lighting it up before he suffered the knee injury.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley is expected to start against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday Night Football, as Lamar Jackson (knee) missed his 12th straight practice on Friday. This will mark Huntley's fourth-straight start at quarterback, but he remains off the fantasy radar. Huntley has passed for 528 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions in 2022. Fantasy managers hoped he'd have rushing upside, but he's accumulated just 23 yards and zero rushing touchdowns on 10 attempts this season. Ultimately, the Ravens' wide receiver group is one of the worst in the leagues, and Mark Andrews has failed to make a significant impact in recent weeks.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) has officially been ruled out for the game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday Night Football, marking his fourth straight contest out of action. Tyler Huntley will start again for Baltimore, but since he only has one touchdown and just 23 rushing yards in his three starts, he remains off the fantasy radar. It's becoming more and more likely that Jackson won't return until the Wild Card round of the NFL playoffs, so fantasy managers in leagues that extend to Week 18 should be ready to go without him one final time.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) missed his 11th straight practice on Thursday. It looks like backup Tyler Huntley will start under center for the fourth straight game in Week 17 against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday Night Football. At this point, Jackson is unlikely to play until the postseason after spraining his knee in Week 13 against the Denver Broncos. With limited weapons in the passing game (that's putting it nicely), Huntley has predictably struggled to do much in Jackson's absence in the last three games. The 24-year-old has completed just 57.6 percent of his 59 pass attempts for 341 yards, one touchdown and an interception while carrying the ball 26 times for 72 yards. Huntley will be a low-upside, low-end QB2 in superflex leagues on Sunday night.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) missed his 10th straight practice on Wednesday. As of right now, it looks like backup Tyler Huntley will make another start this weekend against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night. Huntley would be making his fourth straight start in place of Jackson, who is recovering from a knee sprain. The 25-year-old Jackson is expected to return to practice at some point this week, but that doesn't mean he'll play in Week 16, and fantasy managers won't be able to trust him with the game being on Sunday night. Huntley hasn't produced much at all for fantasy managers in two-QB leagues, as he hasn't gone over 138 yards passing in all three of his starts and has just one touchdown pass.

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report for Saturday's game against the Falcons. The 24-year-old was given a rest day on Tuesday and returned as a full participant on Wednesday. Since being activated from Injured Reserve two weeks ago, the former second-round pick has rushed for 100 yards per game. Dobbins will look to make it three straight 100-yard efforts in Saturday's matchup versus the Falcons. The Ohio State product draws a favorable matchup against Atlanta, who rank 26th in rush DVOA this season. Dobbins is considered a mid-range RB2 and a solid fantasy option against the Falcons in Week 16.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley (right shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. After an underwhelming performance in Week 15, the 24-year-old is apparently dealing with some issues in his throwing shoulder. Even with Huntley being added to the injury report, he's still looking like the presumed starter at the moment as Lamar Jackson continues to deal with his knee injury. For those relying on the third-year pro this week, his status is one to monitor. If Huntley suits up as the starter against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 16, he's a low-end QB2 for fantasy.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) has been ruled out in Week 16 against the Atlanta Falcons for the third straight game. Tyler Huntley (shoulder) has been cleared to play and will make another start on Christmas Eve, according to head coach John Harbaugh. Jackson hasn't been able to practice since spraining his PCL in Week 13, and it remains to be seen if he'll be able to return next week. Huntley is dealing with a right shoulder issue, but he's good to go and will once again lead Baltimore's offense. The weather won't be ideal for passing, and Huntley will also be without No. 1 wideout Devin Duvernay (foot), who was placed on Injured Reserve this week. Expect Baltimore to lean on running back J.K. Dobbins and the ground game against Atlanta, making Huntley a low-upside, low-end QB2 in fantasy.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Devin Duvernay (foot) suffered a broken bone in his foot during practice on Tuesday and was placed on season-ending Injured Reserve, according to a source. Duvernay faces a recovery timetable of about two months and should make a full recovery for the 2023 season. The 25-year-old speedster had a career-high 407 receiving yards and found the end zone three times on 37 receptions in 14 games, but it was a disappointing effort considering the season-ending injury to No. 1 receiver Rashod Bateman (foot) earlier in the year. The Ravens were already thin at the position before Duvernay's injury, and now they'll be working with Demarcus Robinson, DeSean Jackson and James Proche II as their top wideouts. They also claimed veteran Sammy Watkins off waivers on Tuesday. Robinson should be the most steady of the bunch for fantasy purposes the rest of the way.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) was not at practice on Wednesday. The superstar quarterback has now missed eight straight practices because of the knee injury. He last played in Week 13 against the Denver Broncos before leaving early with a sprained PCL. Jackson has missed the past two games and likely will miss a third one on Saturday against the Atlanta Falcons. If the superstar quarterback is out again this week, Tyler Huntley will get his third straight start for the Ravens. The backup quarterback has 413 passing yards and 27.2 fantasy points this season, filling in for Jackson.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) and running back J.K. Dobbins (undisclosed) were not seen at the portion of practice open to the media on Tuesday. For Jackson, it's the seventh straight missed practice after he sprained his left knee in Week 13. It was reported last weekend that Baltimore was hoping that the 25-year-old dual-threat QB could return in Week 16 to face the Atlanta Falcons on Saturday, but the team is going to hold Jackson's status very close to their vest this week for competitive reasons. He'll have to get back on the field this week in order to have a shot at playing. If not, Tyler Huntley would make his third straight start. It's unclear if Dobbins is dealing with an injury or just being rested. Stay tuned for more details on his status.
The Baltimore Ravens have decided to claim wide receiver Sammy Watkins off waivers from the Green Bay Packers. The 29-year-old was cut by Green Bay ahead of their Week 15 matchup with the Tennessee Titans. The former first round pick had 13 receptions for 206 yards and no touchdowns through nine games with the Packers. The young wideouts on this roster were stepping up, so the Packers decided to go in a different direction. The Ravens are in need of a wide receiver after placing Devin Duvernay (foot) on the injured reserve. Watkins could immediately slide into a starting role on this team. However, fantasy managers shouldn't have high expectations for Watkins with Tyler Huntley under center.
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Devin Duvernay (foot) has been placed on the injured reserve. This escalated quickly as Duvernay left practice early on Tuesday due to a foot issue. Now, the 25-year-old could very well be done playing for the rest of the season. Possibly, Duvernay returns during the postseason, but that remains to be seen. Luckily, the Ravens claimed wide receiver Sammy Watkins off waivers from the Green Bay Packers. The expectation is that Watkins is going to have a legitimate role in this offense right away. Fantasy managers who are extremely desperate for production at wide receiver should consider adding Watkins. Hopefully, Duvernay will be fine for the beginning of next season.

Baltimore Ravens Pro Bowl cornerback Marcus Peters (calf) suffered a mild calf strain in Saturday's loss to the Cleveland Browns and will likely miss some time, according to a source. The good news is that Peters' absence is expected to be a short one, so there's a chance he could return in the final three weeks of the regular season. The 29-year-old defensive back is a huge part of Baltimore's secondary, so they'll be a little vulnerable moving forward, starting in Week 16 when they face the Atlanta Falcons on Saturday. In Peters' absence, expect Brandon Stephens and Kevon Seymour to have bigger roles in the Ravens secondary. Peters has 47 tackles (36 solo), one interception, six passes defensed, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and a sack in 13 starts in 2022.
Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh essentially said he's not going to give any updates on quarterback Lamar Jackson's (knee) status leading up to the Week 16 game against the Atlanta Falcons on Saturday. "I think I'm going to climb behind the barricade of it's probably not the time to put a lot of information out there on our injuries, just for competitive purposes," Harbaugh said. "So, we're just going to let that develop and see where we go with it and not try to walk the tight rope of what we say." Jackson has missed the last two games with a knee sprain, but reports over the weekend suggested the Ravens were hopeful that he'd return in Week 16. Jackson would return to being a a QB1 in fantasy if he's active against Atlanta, but there's still a possibility that backup Tyler Huntley could make his third straight start. We'll know more later in the week.
Baltimore Ravens defensive end Calais Campbell (knee) is considered a long shot to play in Week 16 against the Atlanta Falcons on Saturday after he was forced from the Week 15 game early against the Cleveland Browns due to injury. Pro Bowl cornerback Marcus Peters (calf) suffered a mild calf strain in the same game and is also expected to miss some time, so the Ravens will likely be down some key contributors on the defensive side of the ball this weekend against rookie quarterback Desmond Ridder and company. With the 36-year-old Campbell hurting, look for Travis Jones to see more snaps on the D-line this weekend. Campbell, a six-time Pro Bowler, has 36 tackles (18 solo), four tackles for loss, 14 QB hits, 5.5 sacks and two forced fumbles in 13 starts this year. Baltimore's defense will still be a must-start in fantasy against the rookie Ridder this week.

Baltimore Ravens rookie outside linebacker David Ojabo (Achilles) will make his NFL debut in Week 15 against the Cleveland Browns on Saturday, according to a source. Ojabo was an All-American at the University of Michigan and was a highly projected first-round pick, but unfortunately he suffered a torn Achilles at his Pro Day workout and dropped into the second round. The Ravens will almost certainly ease Ojabo into the fold on defense, so don't expect him to be out there all the time this weekend. But the 22-year-old pass-rusher will give an already strong Ravens defense a boost down the stretch of the regular season and into the playoffs. Baltimore's defense/special teams unit should be considered a top-10 fantasy defense against a still-rusty Deshaun Watson.
The Baltimore Ravens anticipate quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) returning to practice next week and remain hopeful that he can return from a two-game absence to play in Week 16 against the Atlanta Falcons next Saturday. Jackson suffered a sprained PCL in his knee in Week 13 against the Denver Broncos and hasn't played since. That would be great news for fantasy managers that advance to the semifinals matchup in their playoff bracket. With Jackson out again this Saturday against the Cleveland Browns, Tyler Huntley will make his second straight start after leaving early due to a concussion last Sunday. Huntley can also pick up chunk gains with his legs like Jackson, but he'll be a low-end QB2 option for fantasy managers in a Ravens offense that will likely lean on their running backs in this one.
Baltimore Ravens running back Kenyan Drake is inactive for Sunday's AFC North meeting with the Browns. With J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards combining for 28 touches in the Week 14 narrow win over Pittsburgh, Drake totaled one carry and two catches for one yard, so the latest update isn't surprising. By now, fantasy managers should have parted ways with Drake. However, for those that still have the veteran on the roster, get rid of him without thinking twice about it.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley (head) is active for Saturday's meeting with Cleveland and will start, according to ESPN's Jamison Hensley. The signal-caller recently cleared concussion protocol after getting banged up in the win over Pittsburgh, so head coach John Harbaugh was hesitant on naming his starter for this one. However, Huntley will be back under center, with the 24-year-old throwing for 275 yards and a pick while rushing for 72 yards and a touchdown off 19 carries in 2022-23. That said, he's a risky fantasy option in all formats in Week 15, especially since the Ravens may utilize the run more often than not now that J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards are healthy.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley (concussion) was upgraded to a full practice on Wednesday after he was limited on Tuesday. Huntley is trending toward getting another start this weekend against the Cleveland Browns on Saturday after Lamar Jackson (knee) missed his second straight practice of the week on Wednesday. Jackson also missed the Week 14 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers due to a knee sprain. The 24-year-old Huntley doesn't have nearly the upside that Jackson does at QB, but he can also pick up yards with his legs as a dual-threat signal-caller. He went 27-for-32 for 187 yards and an interception in Week 13 against the Denver Broncos, but he also carried the ball 10 times for 41 yards and a touchdown. Huntley will be in play as a QB2 in superflex leagues if he clears the concussion protocol.
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Demarcus Robinson (illness) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. He sat out Tuesday's walk-through session due to an illness. The 28-year-old will suit up against the Cleveland Browns Saturday. Robinson has caught 38 of 56 targets for 390 yards and a touchdown over 13 games in 2022. The former Kansas City Chief has a plus matchup against Cleveland that ranks 31st in DVOA against opposing WR2s. With the plus matchup, Robinson is on the flex radar in deep-league formats for the fantasy playoffs.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley (concussion) was at Thursday's walkthrough practice again and is on track to clear the concussion protocol and play in Week 15 against the Cleveland Browns on Saturday. Huntley was a full practice participant on Wednesday after he began the week with a limited session on Tuesday. The 24-year-old dual-threat QB should be able to make another start in place of the injured Lamar Jackson (knee), who missed his third straight day of practice on Thursday. All signs are pointing toward Huntley making his second straight start. The Browns defense has been much more vulnerable against the run in 2022, so expect Baltimore to lean on their rushing attack as much as possible on Saturday, making Huntley more of a low-end QB2 in superflex leagues.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley (head) has cleared the league's concussion protocol, but head coach John Harbaugh is still declining to name a starting QB for the Week 15 game against the Cleveland Browns on Saturday. Lamar Jackson (knee) has missed practice all week and is expected to be ruled out for the second straight game, so it's only a matter of time before it's official that Huntley will make his second straight start under center for Baltimore. The 24-year-old can make noise with his legs like Jackson, but he should be considered a low-end QB2 in superflex leagues with the Ravens likely to lean on their running backs against a porous Browns run defense.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) didn't practice all week and has officially been ruled out for Week 15 against the Cleveland Browns on Saturday. It will be Jackson's second straight absence due to a knee sprain suffered in Week 13. It remains to be seen if the 25-year-old dual-threat signal-caller will be able to return for a Week 16 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons on Saturday. Tyler Huntley suffered a concussion in the Week 14 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, but he's since cleared the league's protocols and will make his second straight start on Saturday against the Browns. Huntley will profile as a low-end QB2 in superflex leagues against Cleveland.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) was not present for the portion of practice open to the media on Tuesday, which would mark his fourth straight missed practice. Jackson is dealing with a sprained knee and missed the Week 14 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. He'll need to get back on the field at some point this week to have a shot at suiting up for fantasy managers in the first week of the playoffs in a Week 15 matchup against the Cleveland Browns on Saturday. And with Tyler Huntley suffering a concussion on Sunday, it's possible that rookie Anthony Brown makes his first career start this weekend against Cleveland, which would be a big downgrade for all of the Ravens' offensive skill players.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) missed another day of practice on Wednesday. It's Jackson's second missed practice of the week, and he hasn't seen the practice field since spraining his knee in Week 13. Barring a miraculous recovery in just a couple of days, the 25-year-old dual-threat QB is trending toward missing his second straight game on Saturday against the Cleveland Browns. Backup Tyler Huntley (concussion) was also hurt in the Week 14 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, but he was limited on Tuesday and has a shot to clear the league's concussion protocol and play against the Browns. If Huntley isn't cleared, rookie Anthony Brown would be in line to make his first career NFL start.

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) returned from Injured Reserve in last week's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers and had a season-high 15 carries for 120 yards and his second touchdown of the year after being sidelined for seven weeks. "It's still not me all the way yet," Dobbins said. "I'm going to continue to get better, and hopefully those 100-yard games will start turning into 200-yard games, maybe." In four games earlier this year, Dobbins averaged just 3.5 yards per carry on 35 attempts before undergoing an arthroscopic procedure to remove scar tissue in his surgically repaired left knee that was hindering his flexion. It's a good sign that Dobbins had the second-most rushing yards of his career in Week 14 at less than 100 percent. The 23-year-old should be Baltimore's No. 1 back the rest of the way.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley (concussion) was participating in the portion of practice open to the media on Tuesday. It's a great sign for Huntley, who left the Week 14 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers with a concussion and didn't return. With Lamar Jackson (knee) also out, the Ravens were forced to turn to rookie third-stringer Anthony Brown. Jackson and Huntley are both up in the air for Week 15 against the Cleveland Browns on Saturday, but we'll have a better idea of the situation under center after a few more practice days this week. If neither Jackson nor Huntley can play this weekend, Brown will be in line for his first career NFL start. Brown went just 3-for-5 for 16 yards. Expect Baltimore to lean even more heavily on their ground game if Brown makes the start.
Monday, December 12
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Anthony Brown will start in Week 15 against the Browns, if necessary, according to head coach John Harbaugh. Lamar Jackson (knee) is unlikely to return for a few weeks, so Tyler Huntley (head) was under center during Sunday's narrow win over Pittsburgh. However, with Huntley exiting for a concussion evaluation, Brown took over for the rest of the game, connecting on three of his five throws for 16 yards and three carries for negative yardage. Fantasy managers should monitor Huntley's condition throughout the week. Yet, if he can't go, Brown may have his hands full versus a Cleveland defense looking to bounce back from the loss to Cincinnati. Considering the rookie didn't play his first professional snap until Week 14, he's not a recommended fantasy option.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley left the team's Week 14 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers early and as of Monday, remains in concussion protocol. Concussions are never worth speculating on, so Huntley fantasy managers should stay posted for his updates later in the week. Head coach John Harbaugh provided no update on Lamar Jackson's knee, so that will also have to wait until later in the week. If both Jackson and Huntley are forced to miss Week 15, rookie quarterback Anthony Brown will presumably start against the Cleveland Browns on Saturday.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) may not play again until Week 16, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The former MVP is listed as doubtful for this Sunday's game against the Steelers after spanning his PCL in Week 13, and there is already pessimism about his availability for next week's clash with the Browns. Thus, Schefter indicates that the Ravens are targeting Week 16 (versus Atlanta Falcons on Dec. 24) as a realistic return for Jackson. Even if he does return on Christmas Eve, Jackson may not be at full strength for several weeks thereafter. In the meantime, Tyler Huntley will operate as the Ravens' quarterback, ranking as a high-end QB2 in fantasy football.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) has been officially ruled out for the Week 14 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. This shouldn't come as a surprise to many with Jackson considered doubtful coming into this game. It sounds like the organization is targeting a Week 16 return for Jackson. In the meantime, Tyler Huntley will take over under center for the Ravens. He has shown he is fully capable of running this offense and should be considered a high-end QB2 for this Week 14 matchup.
Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) is active for the Week 14 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. This marks the first time that Dobbins will play since suffering a setback on his left knee in Week 6. The 23-year-old won't see a full workload here as the Ravens are likely to ease him back into things. However, his return does hurt the fantasy value of Gus Edwards and Kenyan Drake. Neither player is likely to have much success in what could turn out to be a three-back committee.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley exited Sunday's game after being hit hard by a group of Pittsburgh Steelers defenders. He is being evaluated for a concussion and is officially questionable to return. Huntley totaled eight completions, 88 passing yards, 38 rushing yards, and one sack before departing. He had been playing in place of Lamar Jackson (knee), so now Baltimore will have to turn to its third-string quarterback, Anthony Brown. An undrafted rookie out of Oregon, Brown was signed to the active roster this past week and has never played an NFL snap.

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) was activated from Injured Reserve on Saturday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, while the team waived running back Mike Davis in a corresponding move. The 23-year-old Dobbins hasn't played since Week 6 after suffering a setback in his surgically repaired left knee. That being said, it's likely Dobbins won't see a full workload in Week 14 against Pittsburgh. However, he may receive enough action to lower the ceilings of Gus Edwards and Kenyan Drake. The Ravens backfield could give fantasy managers plenty of headaches the rest of the way.
The Ravens have waived running back Mike Davis, according to ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter. The move opened up a spot on the roster for J.K. Dobbins (knee), who was activated from the injured reserve list on Saturday. Despite Baltimore dealing with an ailing backfield throughout the year, Davis saw little action, ending his tenure with the club by amassing only 18 yards off eight touches. There's a chance the 29-year-old will get picked up by another team, although it probably won't mean anything on the fantasy end.

TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley is expected to start against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the absence of Lamar Jackson (knee). Huntley posted a 35-point fantasy performance last season and has real rushing upside, so his fantasy outlook is brighter than some may think. The Steelers have allowed the ninth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks thus far, and even though the Ravens lack high-end pass-catchers, it's well-known rushing quarterbacks can still pay off. It's unknown exactly how long Jackson will be out but Huntley should be a serious streaming candidate for as long as that is.
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (hip) and outside linebacker T.J. Watt (ribs) are officially questionable to face the Baltimore Ravens in Week 14. Johnson would be set to face a favorable matchup if he plays, as the Ravens have allowed the seventh-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. Johnson's status feels truly 50/50 so fantasy managers should follow his updates up to kickoff. Tyler Huntley is expected to start for the Ravens, so Watt could be in for a big day against a backup quarterback if he can go on Sunday. Watt is a key piece of the Steelers' defense and fantasy teams in IDP leagues.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) is officially listed as doubtful to face the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 14. John Harbaugh said he expects Tyler Huntley to start on Sunday, and listing him as doubtful instead of "out" feels like a strategic tactic for the Ravens to force the Steelers into considering the possibility he might play. Jackson's recent injury update suggests he'll almost certainly be out, but maybe there's an extremely low chance he suits up. Huntley is a top streaming candidate against a struggling Pittsburgh defense.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) missed his second straight day of practice this week on Thursday. Jackson sprained his left PCL in the Week 13 win over the Denver Broncos and is "less likely" to play this Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to head coach John Harbaugh. Fantasy managers should fully expect the 25-year-old dual-threat signal-caller to sit out this weekend with an eye on returning in Week 15 against the Cleveland Browns. Tyler Huntley can also pick up chunk gains with his legs and will be in play as a QB2 for managers in superflex fantasy leagues. Huntley went 27-for-32 for 187 yards, no touchdowns and an interception while carrying the ball 10 times for 41 yards and a TD in relief of Jackson last week.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) was not seen at the portion of Wednesday's practice that was open to the media. Jackson sprained his PCL in the Week 13 win over the Denver Broncos and is "less likely" to play in Week 14 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, so it's not much of a surprise that he's not on the practice field. There's a good chance that the 25-year-old dual-threat signal-caller won't practice at all this week before officially being ruled out for Sunday's game. His fantasy managers are just hoping that he'll be available to return once the fantasy playoffs begin in Week 15 in most leagues. If Jackson is officially ruled out this weekend, as expected, backup Tyler Huntley will get the start and will be in play in two-QB leagues for his rushing abilities.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) suffered a sprained left PCL in the Week 13 win over the Denver Broncos, according to leagues sources. PCL injuries often sideline players one to three weeks, and head coach John Harbaugh already has said that Jackson is "less likely" to play in Week 14 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Fantasy managers should already be benching Jackson for this weekend, and there's a chance he'll miss additional time. With the fantasy playoffs beginning in Week 15 in most leagues this year, this is terrible timing for the high-end QB1. Backup Tyler Huntley will get another start this Sunday, and he'll have some QB2 appeal because of his rushing abilities.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) didn't return on Sunday versus the Broncos. Fortunately, the knee injury he suffered won't keep him out for the rest of the year. However, head coach John Harbaugh couldn't say for certain how long he'd be out for. That said, Jackson will undergo more testing on Monday, although there's a chance he won't play in Week 14 against Pittsburgh. If that's the case, Tyler Huntley, who threw for 187 yards and a pick while adding 10 carries for 41 yards in Week 13, is expected to remain under center.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) is feared to have suffered a knee sprain in the Week 13 win over the Denver Broncos that could cause him to miss some time. Head coach John Harbaugh said that Jackson's injury isn't season-ending, so we should see him again this year, but it remains to be seen how much time he might miss. Jackson is going to undergo an MRI exam on Monday. Fantasy managers need to prepare for the possibility that the 25-year-old dual-threat QB misses a few games. Tyler Huntley replaced Jackson on Sunday and went 27-for-32 for 187 yards, no touchdowns and an interception in the win over Denver. He also carried the ball 10 times for 41 yards and a score. Huntley will be in play in superflex leagues if he makes any starts for Baltimore.
Dallas Cowboys cornerback Anthony Brown (Achilles) suffered a torn left Achilles in Sunday night's win over the Indianapolis Colts and is out for the rest of the season, according to owner Jerry Jones. The season-ending injury was confirmed after tests on Monday. The 28-year-old will finish his seventh season for the Cowboys with 42 tackles (33 solo), seven passes defensed and a forced fumble in 12 starts. Kelvin Joseph will be the first man up to replace Brown in a starting role opposite Trevon Diggs for the Cowboys. It's a very notable loss for Dallas' secondary the rest of the way.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) is being called "week-to-week" and head coach John Harbaugh said he is "less likely to play" in Week 14 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Tyler Huntley will draw the start in his absence. Last season, Huntley had a 35-point fantasy outing and he has real rushing upside, so he's a must-pick-up in two-quarterback and Superflex leagues. Even in single-quarterback leagues, he should be on the fantasy radar as a high-end streamer against the Steelers defense that has allowed the ninth-most fantasy points per game this season. Jackson's fantasy managers will have to hope he is back in time for the fantasy football playoffs.
The Baltimore Ravens signed veteran wide receiver DeSean Jackson from the practice squad to the active roster on Monday, according to his agent, Drew Rosenhaus. Jackson will remain on the team's active roster after playing in his third game in the Week 13 win over the Denver Broncos, in which he had two catches on three targets for just 10 yards. The 36-year-old speedy deep threat has five catches on eight targets for 100 yards in his three games with Baltimore, and he figures to continue serving as a boom/bust deep threat in the Ravens' run-first offense. With quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) set to miss Week 14 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, DeSean Jackson will be a desperation flex play this weekend in deep fantasy leagues.
The Baltimore Ravens signed quarterback Brett Hundley to their practice squad on Monday after the injury to Lamar Jackson (knee) in the Week 13 win over the Denver Broncos. Jackson is dealing with a mild knee sprain, but he's likely to miss the Week 14 contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Hundley will provide the Ravens with some QB depth behind Jackson and backup Tyler Huntley, who came on in relief of Jackson in Sunday's narrow 10-9 victory. The 29-year-old Hundley was a former fifth-round pick by the Green Bay Packers in 2015 and has played in just 18 career games (nine starts) over three NFL seasons with the Packers and Arizona Cardinals. He hasn't played in a regular season game since 2019 with Arizona.

Baltimore Ravens defensive back Marlon Humphrey (ankle) and safety Kyle Hamilton (knee) are expected to play in Week 13. Both players were able to practice in full on Friday, but remain listed as questionable for this contest. Hamilton sat out last week, but appears to be trending in the right direction now. Humphrey is dealing with a minor ankle issue, so it seems likely that he'll play through it. Having both players on the field would be a huge plus for the Ravens defense against the Denver Broncos on Sunday.
Baltimore Ravens offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley (ankle), who was listed as questionable to play in Week 13, has been ruled out on Sunday against the Denver Broncos. Stanley will miss his second straight game with an ankle injury despite getting in a couple limited practices this week. It's a downgrade for Baltimore's offensive line against a pretty stout Denver defense on Sunday. Stanley has only played in six games for the Ravens so far in 2022.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) is questionable to return against the Denver Broncos in Week 13. Tyler Huntley has entered in his place. Jackson exits with 11 passing yards, nine rushing yards, and two sacks. Baltimore is still in good hands with Huntley, who totaled 1,042 passing yards, three passing touchdowns, four interceptions, 294 rushing yards, and two rushing touchdowns through the bulk of five outings last season.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Week 13 against the Denver Broncos. Tyler Huntley will continue to lead the team in his absence. Jackson finishes the day with 11 passing yards, nine rushing yards, and two sacks. The mobile 25-year-old will have one week to recover before next Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely (shoulder) is questionable to return against the Denver Broncos in Week 13. The rookie exited late in the fourth quarter after catching three passes for 18 yards. In his absence, Josh Oliver will serve as the No. 2 tight end behind Mark Andrews.

Baltimore Ravens rookie tight end Isaiah Likely (ankle) practiced in full on Thursday and Friday and was removed from the final injury report for Week 13. He will be active on Sunday at home against the Denver Broncos. Likely caught seven passes for 101 yards and two touchdowns on 12 targets in Weeks 8 and 9 when Mark Andrews was injured, but with Andrews back healthy as Baltimore's top target, Likely has returned to being nothing more than a low-end TE2 in fantasy. He did not play in last week's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars and caught one of three targets for one yard in Week 11. Unless Andrews misses more time due to injury, Likely can be left to the waiver wire in single-year fantasy formats.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (quadriceps) was officially a full participant in practice on Thursday. Jackson was unable to finish Wednesday's practice due to a quadriceps injury, but it's a great sign that he didn't have any restrictions a day later. The 25-year-old dual-threat signal-caller shouldn't have any problems playing this Sunday against the Denver Broncos, where he'll be a must-start QB1 for fantasy managers. Jackson has left something to be desired on a weekly basis at the QB position in fantasy, but he still ranks as the overall QB5 and is second in the NFL in rushing yards at his position. The Broncos defense isn't the easiest matchup for opposing QBs, but fantasy managers shouldn't be benching Jackson.
Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. He was limited on Wednesday but is trending in the right direction toward suiting up against the Broncos after logging an entire session Thursday. The 22-year-old has 18 catches for 206 yards and two touchdowns over 10 games in 2022. Likely will serve as the Ravens' TE2 behind star Mark Andrews, making him a boom-or-bust fantasy option against Denver in Week 13.
Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) began practicing this week after being designated to return from Injured Reserve, but he will not play against the Denver Broncos in Week 13. Dobbins aggravated his knee in Week 6 after suffering a torn ACL that cost him the 2021 season. It appears he'll return to the field at some point this year, but it won't be until at least Week 14. When he does return, he'll almost certainly be in a timeshare with Gus Edwards and Kenyan Drake, so his upside is capped, even in a run-heavy offense.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (quadriceps) hasn't had the type of season many believed he would. Regardless, he still finds himself as the overall QB5 at his position. He is a unique talent with skills that not many others do not have. Jackson can produce for fantasy managers through the air and on the ground. In Sunday's loss to the Jaguars, he threw for 254 yards and a touchdown, while adding 89 rushing yards. His 25 fantasy points were his second-highest total since Week 3. He is facing a tough Broncos defense in Week 13, but he is a QB1 regardless of the opponent. Jackson was limited in practice earlier in the week, but he's not on the final injury report and is good to go for Sunday.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (quadriceps) returned to practice on Thursday after he did not finish Wednesday's session due to a quadriceps injury. Jackson missed the first 15 minutes of individual drills on Thursday before jogging out onto the field. The 25-year-old dual-threat QB is likely to be limited again on Thursday, but he's unlikely to miss the Week 13 game against the Denver Broncos on Sunday. It's an injury worth keeping an eye on, but if active, Jackson will remain a must-start QB1 in fantasy despite a tough matchup. On the season, Jackson checks in as the QB5 in fantasy scoring with 2,231 passing yards, 17 touchdowns and seven interceptions. He ranks second in the NFL with 755 rushing yards and three touchdowns.

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) was officially designated to return from injured reserve on Wednesday. Furthermore, the third-year running back will practice today. Dobbins has missed the past five games after having surgery to remove scar tissue from his knee. The young running back missed the entire 2021 season after suffering a severe knee injury in the preseason. He then missed the first two games this season, recovering from that injury. Hopefully, Dobbins' knee is 100% healthy, and the star running back can finish the year on a positive note. However, fantasy players shouldn't get too excited about his return, as Dobbins will share the backfield with Gus Edwards and potentially Kenyan Drake.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (quad) was listed as a limited participant in the team's practice on Wednesday. Jackson seemingly injured his quad during the session and exited early. The 25-year-old was limited with a hip injury early last week but ultimately suited up for Week 12 and finished as a top-10 fantasy quarterback. It will be worth monitoring Jackson's status throughout the week as the severity of his quad issue is currently unknown, but he will be a must-start option against the Denver Broncos on Sunday if active.
Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely (ankle) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Likely was forced to miss Week 12 with an ankle injury that he picked up during last Friday's practice session. It seems that the rookie will have a chance to return to action against the Denver Broncos on Sunday. Although Likely has flashed potential this season, he should not be considered a viable option in most redraft leagues with Mark Andrews healthy.

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) will return to practice this week after a six-week absence, opening a 21-day window to be activated from Injured Reserve. Dobbins missed all of his sophomore season with a torn ACL and had to undergo arthroscopic knee surgery in mid-October of this season. It remains to be seen if he'll be activated ahead of Baltimore's game against the Denver Broncos, but he would carry a ton of risk in his first game back -- whenever that might be. The Ravens will likely continue using a running-back-by-committee approach for the remainder of the season, so Dobbins will never have a strong enough workload to provide a solid fantasy floor.

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (hamstring, knee) is expected to return in Week 12 following a two-game absence, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. Edwards has been active for two contests this season, rushing 27 times for 131 yards. While Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill should get involved Sunday, expect Edwards to operate as the lead back while ranking as an RB3 in fantasy football.
Baltimore Ravens wide receivers Demarcus Robinson (hip) and Devin Duvernay (hamstring) are expected to be active for Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. Robinson has emerged as Baltimore's No. 1 receiver, catching 16 passes for 204 yards over his last three games. He ranks as a WR4 in fantasy football this week. Meanwhile, Duvernay has underperformed, catching just nine passes for 95 yards over his last five contests. He offers some upside in the special teams department but should still be benched in most fantasy leagues.
Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (knee) is active for the Week 12 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 27-year-old will make his return to the field after a two-game absence. When healthy, Edwards has 131 yards on 27 rushing attempts this season. That being said, he's looking like a decent fantasy option for Sunday's slate. His return will decrease the fantasy value of Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill. Both players should still be involved, but won't be reliable streaming options. Edwards should be considered a RB3 for this Week 12 matchup.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver DeSean Jackson has been promoted to the active roster ahead of the Week 12 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 36-year-old will return to the field after missing each of the last two weeks. His return won't mean too much for this offense. The veteran speedster has one reception for 16 yards in his lone appearance with Baltimore this season. His involvement could change depending on the health of his fellow receivers. Regardless, he'll be a risky fantasy option in basically all formats.

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (hamstring, knee) seems to be trending in the right direction for the team's Week 12 matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars, but he'll likely be listed as questionable on the final injury report on Friday. Head coach John Harbaugh said he "hopes" Edwards will play but expects left tackle, Ronnie Stanley (ankle), to be ruled out. If Edwards plays, he'll be an intriguing flex option in a top-12 matchup for running backs, but he has a low floor with no pass-catching upside and plenty of competition for touches with Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill. Ultimately, he's a touchdown-or-bust option in the context of the Ravens' offense.
There was a little bit of a cause for concern early in the week for Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (hip) when he missed practice, but Jackson has practiced the last two days and head coach John Harbaugh has made it clear that Jackson should play in Week 12 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. There's a chance Jackson is listed as questionable on Friday's final injury report, but fantasy managers shouldn't be too concerned if he is. The 25-year-old has been feeling better and shouldn't have any restrictions in a nice matchup against the Jags this weekend. Jackson left a lot to be desired in last week's win over the Carolina Panthers, but he should remain locked into starting fantasy lineups as a high-end QB1 this Sunday.
Updating a previous report, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (hip) is off the final injury report for Week 12 and will play on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. There was a bit of concern earlier this week about Jackson's status when he missed practice, but he has since returned to the field and is feeling much better. He will start under center and should be locked into all starting fantasy lineups as a high-end, dual-threat QB for fantasy managers. The 25-year-old has left a lot to be desired throughout the year in fantasy without many reliable options in the passing attack, but he usually makes up for it on the ground. The Jaguars defense has also allowed the 10th-most fantasy points per game to QBs in 2022.
Baltimore Ravens wide receivers Devin Duvernay (hamstring) and Demarcus Robinson (hip) are both listed as questionable for Week 12 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Duvernay popped up on Friday's injury report after putting in a limited practice. Robinson was a DNP on Thursday but practiced in full Friday. Duvernay has seen just two targets since taking over as Baltimore's No. 1 wideout when Rashod Bateman (foot) was lost for the year, so it's an understatement to say he can't be trusted in starting fantasy lineups, especially with his injury to consider. Robinson should be able to play, but he'll be a boom/bust WR4/flex if he's active. The 28-year-old had nine catches for 128 yards last week, so if Duvernay is inactive, Robinson will become more attractive as a deep-league flex play.
Baltimore Ravens rookie tight end Isaiah Likely (ankle) is listed as questionable to face the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 12 on Sunday. Likely popped up on Friday's injury report while putting in a limited practice. The 22-year-old apparently was injured in practice on Friday, putting his availability in question this weekend. He was an attractive streaming option for fantasy managers at the thin tight end position when Mark Andrews was dealing with several injuries, but now that Andrews is back and healthy, Likely has very limited fantasy appeal. If the rookie isn't cleared to play against Jacksonville, Josh Oliver and Nick Boyle could see added opportunities as Andrews' backup.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver DeSean Jackson (hamstring) was back at practice on Wednesday, but he wasn't listed on the official injury report because he remains on the practice squad. However, he could be promoted to the active roster and play in Week 12 against the Jacksonville Jaguars if he's healthy enough. D-Jax made his debut with Baltimore in Week 9 by catching one of his two targets for 16 yards on just 16 percent of the offensive snaps against the New Orleans Saints, but he didn't play in last week's win over the Carolina Panthers. The 35-year-old still has some speed, but he's unlikely to see many targets as a deep threat in the Ravens' run-first offense if he plays this Sunday against the Jaguars.
The Baltimore Ravens designated safety Marcus Williams (wrist) to return from Injured Reserve on Wednesday, and he returned to practice. The Ravens opened their 21-day window to officially activate Williams from Injured Reserve, and that could come in time for him to play in Week 12 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 26-year-old has been on the shelf since he dislocated his wrist in Week 5, so whenever Williams does return to game action, he could have his playing time limited due to the long layoff. Before the injury, Williams had 33 tackles (26 solo), three interceptions, five passes defensed and a fumble recovery in five games. Once he's back up to speed, he should have a prominent role in Baltimore's secondary.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (hip) and running back Gus Edwards (hamstring) were both upgraded to full practices on Thursday. Jackson missed Wednesday's practice, while Edwards was limited. The 25-year-old signal-caller's injury has been downplayed, and he will suit up in Week 12 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he'll be a must-start, high-end QB1 for fantasy managers. Edwards missed his second straight game last week but is trending in the right direction to play this Sunday. Even if Edwards is able to return in Week 12, Kenyan Drake figures to lead Baltimore's backfield, which will make Edwards a tough sell as anything more than a touchdown-dependent RB3/flex.
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Demarcus Robinson (hip) was added to the Week 12 injury report after he missed practice on Thursday. This is something to watch after Robinson practiced in full on Wednesday. The 28-year-old surprisingly led the Ravens in receiving in last week's win over the Carolina Panthers, going for nine catches and 128 yards. We'll have a better idea of Robinson's status for Sunday's game on Friday. If Robinson is out or limited in Week 12, James Proche and Tylan Wallace would see added playing time alongside Devin Duvernay. Before Robinson's blowup game in Week 11, he had only 16 catches on 29 targets for 152 yards and one touchdown in nine games, so fantasy managers would be rolling the dice if they use him as a WR4/flex coming off his big game.

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (hamstring) was back at practice on Wednesday after missing the past two games. The veteran running back has only played in two games this season because of various injuries. However, he has averaged 5.2 yards per rushing attempt and 12.6 half-point PPR fantasy points per game this season. Assuming he is healthy enough to play this week, Edwards should resume his role as the lead back. However, Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill will maintain their roles behind the starter. Meanwhile, Drake and Hill would see an increase in work if Edwards is forced to miss his third straight game Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (hip) was listed with a hip injury and missed practice on Wednesday. Head coach John Harbaugh stated that the former MVP is dealing with an "issue" he sustained in Week 11, but expressed no concerns regarding his availability for Sunday and assured reporters that Jackson will indeed play against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Jackson has been a bit underwhelming as of late after a hot start to the season, but will have a great chance to bounce back to elite form in Week 12 and should be started with confidence in fantasy lineups.

TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (knee/hamstring) and wide receiver DeSean Jackson (hamstring) could play in Week 12, as head coach John Harbaugh said the team is hopeful to get them back against the Jaguars. Edwards will immediately enter the fantasy start 'em, sit 'em bubble as a primary ball carrier in a top rushing attack, while Jackson figures to be a desperation deep league flex play. Demarcus Robinson, Devin Duvernay, and Mark Andrews should be ahead of him in the target pecking order, so the upside is limited in a low-volume passing offense.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (knee, shoulder) is likely to play versus Carolina, according to ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter. Andrews didn't suit up for the Week 9 meeting with the Saints and didn't play well in the previous two games leading up to that one. However, as expected, the 27-year-old remains a top fantasy option at the position, so managers need to get him back into the lineup against a Panthers defense that's struggled defending opposing tight ends.
Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (hamstring, knee) is trending towards being inactive in Week 11 against the Carolina Panthers, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. An official decision won't be made until after his pregame workout, but as of now, it looks like it will be Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill leading the rushing attack for Baltimore.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (illness) and tight end Mark Andrews (knee, shoulder) are active for Week 11 against the Carolina Panthers. Both stars had been listed as questionable. Jackson has completed 62.3 percent of passes for 1,768 yards, 16 touchdowns, and six interceptions. He has also continued to have a major impact on the ground, rushing for 635 yards and an additional two scores. He should be viewed as a mid-range QB1 this week. Meanwhile, Andrews has been elite when active, catching 42 passes for 488 yards and five touchdowns. Despite missing a game in Week 9 and being on bye in Week 10, Andrews is still the overall TE2 in fantasy football behind only Travis Kelce. He should be started in all leagues this week.
Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (hamstring, knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. Evidently, the Ravens are exercising a measure of caution with Edwards, who was listed as questionable but has not played since Week 8. Kenyan Drake should handle lead-back duties against Carolina, but Justice Hill also figures to get involved.

TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (shoulder/knee) will be a game-time decision for the team's Week 11 matchup with the Carolina Panthers. Despite being banged up this year, Andrews is still the TE2 in total fantasy points, so there's no tough decision to make if he's active. Carolina is statically solid against tight ends, but Andrews is a must-start stud, and he should slot back in as the clear No. 1 option with Rashod Bateman (foot) lost for the reason. If he's out, consider Isiah Likely a mid-tier TE1 play for Week 11.

TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (hamstring) took part in his second straight practice this week on Thursday. Edwards was limited in his return on Wednesday, so he'll likely be listed as limited again on Thursday. The 27-year-old had last week's bye to rest up after he was held out in Week 9. In his absence in Week 8, Kenyan Drake was the leader of the backfield and scored two touchdowns. Edwards is trending towards a return this weekend against the Carolina Panthers, but he's only played in two games in 2022 and has 27 carries for 131 yards and two touchdowns. A return from Edwards in Week 11 would make both he and Drake low-ceiling RB3/flex options in Baltimore's run-heavy attack.
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (knee, shoulder) was limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Andrews is feeling good and appears to be on the right side of questionable ahead of a Week 11 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. The 27-year-old missed the Week 8 contest but had last week's bye to heal up, so he should be good to play this weekend unless he suffers a setback in Friday's practice. As long as Andrews is active on Sunday, he'll be a must-start, high-end TE1 for fantasy managers. Despite missing Week 8, he sits as the TE2 in half-point PPR scoring this year with 42 catches on 64 targets for 488 yards and five touchdowns. Rookie Isaiah Likely, who has scored two touchdowns in the last two games with Andrews banged up, won't have standalone value if Andrews is back this weekend.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday. The veteran tight end suffered the shoulder injury early in the Week 8 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Despite the hope that he would play the following week, Andrews missed the Week 9 win over the New Orleans Saints. With the Ravens having their bye in Week 10, fantasy players were hoping to see the star tight end back on the field this week. However, Andrews missing practice on Wednesday isn't a good sign. Hopefully, he can practice later this week and play on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers. If Andrews can't play, Isaiah Likely will get the start for the Ravens.
Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (hamstring) returned to practice on Wednesday. The veteran running back missed the Week 9 win over the New Orleans Saints after suffering the hamstring injury in Week 8. Edwards missed the first six games this season recovering from a torn ACL he suffered in the preseason a year ago. However, the veteran had at least 65 rushing yards in both contests this year before suffering the hamstring injury. With J.K. Dobbins out at least one more week (knee), Edwards will share the backfield with Kenyan Drake in the Week 11 matchup against the Carolina Panthers.
Correcting a previous report, Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (knee, shoulder) was limited in Wednesday's practice after not being seen at the portion of practice open to the media. It was his first practice since injuring his shoulder on Oct. 27. The Ravens have been optimistic that Andrews will return to action this weekend against the Carolina Panthers after having not played since Week 8. Rookie Isaiah Likely has benefitted from more playing time and his first two career touchdowns with Andrews injury, but he'll go back to being a rarely used backup if Andrews returns in Week 11, as expected. Despite missing some time with his injuries, Andrews is still the TE2 in half-point PPR scoring in 2022 with 42 receptions for 488 yards and five touchdowns on 64 targets. He'll be a must-start if he's active on Sunday.

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that tight end Mark Andrews (knee, shoulder) has a "really good chance" of playing in Week 11 against the Carolina Panthers. Andrews was held out of the Week 9 game but had a bye last week to heal up, and it looks like he'll have a good shot at returning this Sunday to face Carolina. We'll keep a close eye on the 27-year-old's practice status throughout the week. If he's unable to go, rookie Isaiah Likely will once again have TE1 upside as the team's top pass-catching tight end. Likely has seven catches on 12 targets for 101 yards and two touchdowns in the last two games with Andrews injured. If Andrews is active, he's a must-start, high-end TE1.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (knee, shoulder) and running back Gus Edwards (hamstring) are officially inactive for the Monday night game against the New Orleans Saints. With Andrews out of the picture, rookie Isaiah Likely will look to have another big game after scoring his first NFL touchdown last week. Likely will have TE1 upside to close out Week 9 action in an offense that is also missing receiver Rashod Bateman (foot). With Edwards sideline, Kenyan Drake should be Baltimore's backfield leader, with Justice Hill and Mike Davis mixing in as change-of-pace options in the team's run-heavy approach. Andrews and Edwards will have an extra week to rest up with the team's bye coming in Week 10.
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Demarcus Robinson (groin) is officially active for Monday night's contest against the New Orleans Saints. Rashod Bateman (foot) is out for the season, so Robinson's rest-of-the-season outlook is trending up. With Bateman aggravating his foot injury last week, Robinson caught six passes on eight targets for 64 yards and could continue to be heavily involved to close out Week 9 action, which makes him a deep-league flex consideration against the Saints secondary. Along with Robinson, Devin Duvernay and James Proche II should see increased roles moving forward. Tylan Wallace was a healthy scratch, while veteran deep threat DeSean Jackson was activated to the active roster, and he'll make his debut with the team on Monday.
The Baltimore Ravens placed wide receiver Rashod Bateman (foot) on season-ending Injured Reserve on Monday and elevated receivers DeSean Jackson and Binjimen Victor from the practice squad to the active roster in a corresponding move. Fantasy managers in single-year leagues can safely drop Bateman. The 22-year-old needs surgery to fix a Lisfranc foot injury. Jackson will make his debut with Baltimore on Monday night against the New Orleans Saints, but he's likely to play a small role as a deep downfield threat behind Devin Duvernay, Demarcus Robinson and James Proche II. The 35-year-old Jackson can still run and could eventually become a valuable deep threat for Baltimore's passing game, but he's not a realistic fantasy starting option to close out Week 9.
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver DeSean Jackson (hamstring) is questionable to return to the Monday night game against the New Orleans Saints with a hamstring injury. Jackson was making his debut with the team and had caught one of his two targets for 16 yards in the game before leaving. With No. 1 receiver Rashod Bateman (foot) done for the year, D-Jax and others -- Devin Duvernay, James Proche II and Demarcus Robinson -- will be asked to step up in the passing game. Rookie tight end Isaiah Likely is leading the team in receiving early in the fourth quarter with just one catch for a 24-yard touchdown. Jackson can still run despite being 35, but he'll probably be nothing more than a boom/bust deep threat for quarterback Lamar Jackson the rest of the season. It remains to be seen how serious the wideout's injury is.
Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said the team plans to have running back Gus Edwards (hamstring) back after the Week 10 bye. Edwards made his season debut in Week 7 but sustained a right hamstring injury in Week 8 and was held out of the Monday night game against the New Orleans Saints in Week 9. With Edwards sidelined on Monday, Kenyan Drake blew up for 93 yards and two touchdowns on 24 carries as the lead back. J.K. Dobbins (knee) remains on Injured Reserve, but Edwards' impending return after the bye will once again complicate the Ravens' backfield. Drake will still probably be the most attractive fantasy back in Baltimore in Week 11 against the Carolina Panthers, but Edwards' presence will lower his overall ceiling and floor.
Baltimore Ravens tight end Charlie Kolar (hernia) has been activated off the injured reserve on Tuesday. The 23-year-old has missed the last three weeks after undergoing hernia surgery. It looks like Kolar is finally ready to get back on the field. However, Mark Andrews appears to be healthy again. That being said, Kolar will likely fall into the third string role behind Andrews and Isaiah Likely. Kolar isn't going to hold any fantasy value while the two players in front of him are healthy.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Demarcus Robinson (groin) missed practice on Saturday and is officially listed as questionable for Week 9 against the New Orleans Saints. Although Robinson will likely be a game-time decision, it's far from ideal that he downgraded to a non-participant to close out the week of practices. If Robinson is somehow able to play, he will line up as the Ravens' No. 2 receiver, making him a fringe WR4 in fantasy football.
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (knee) has been downgraded to out for Week 9. He will not play against the New Orleans Saints on Monday night. With the Ravens on bye in Week 10, Andrews will have plenty of time to heal up and recover before trying to return in Week 11. For the time being, Isaiah Likely will operate as Baltimore's top tight end while ranking as a TE1 in fantasy football.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Demarcus Robinson (groin) logged a limited practice on Friday. The wideout is dealing with a groin injury, although his status for Monday night's matchup versus New Orleans is up in the air. Robinson looked good during the Week 8 win over the Bucs, finishing with six catches for 64 yards, his best marks of the season. With Rashod Bateman (foot) out of the picture and Mark Andrews (knee/shoulder) uncertain for Week 9, he may continue to see an uptick in production if he's available.
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (ankle, shoulder) and running back Gus Edwards (hamstring) are both listed as doubtful to play on Monday night against the New Orleans Saints. Andrews has just three catches for 33 yards in the last two games while playing through injuries, but it looks like he'll be rested in Week 9. Rookie Isaiah Likely, who scored his first NFL touchdown last week, will have TE1 upside with both Andrews and No. 1 wideout Rashod Bateman (foot) out. Edwards made his season debut in Week 7 and is already hurt again. With him likely to sit on Sunday, Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill should split the team's backfield duties against New Orleans. In Week 8, Drake saw 11 touches for 67 yards and a touchdown. He'll be the more attractive fantasy option.
New Orleans Saints defensive back Marshon Lattimore (abdomen) has been ruled out for the Week 9 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. This marks the fourth game in a row that Lattimore has been forced to sit out. His absence should open up more playing time for Paulson Adebo and Alontae Taylor. The Saints secondary gave up big games to Ja'Marr Chase and DeAndre Hopkins without Lattimore on the field. However, they held Davante Adams in check last week. Possibly, this unit won't miss Lattimore too much against the weaker Ravens receiving corps.

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said running back J.K. Dobbins' (knee) recent left knee scope was a "smashing success," but the running back is still about three to four weeks away from a return from Injured Reserve. He underwent arthroscopic knee surgery in mid-October and is a few weeks away from being activated from the Injured Reserve. The 23-year-old is first eligible to return from the IR in Week 13. Dobbins' availability will determine how his knee responds in practice and team drills once activated. Gus Edwards (hamstring), Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill will lead the Ravens backfield while Dobbins is sidelined. Fantasy managers with an IR spot should continue to stash Dobbins.
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (ankle, shoulder) and running back Gus Edwards (hamstring) missed practice for the second straight day this week on Friday. Both players could return to practice on Saturday and be questionable to play on Monday night against the New Orleans Saints, but they're shaping up to be shaky fantasy options in the last contest of Week 9. Rookie Isaiah Likely scored his first career touchdown after Andrews left the game last week and would be a strong fill-in for anyone that has Andrews rostered. Edwards was playing in just his second game this year in Week 8 when he injured his hamstring. Even if he's active on Monday, he'll be splitting backfield work with Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (ankle, shoulder) and running back Gus Edwards (hamstring) are not practicing on Thursday. Andrews and Edwards reportedly aren't dealing with serious injuries, but there status for Monday night's game against the New Orleans Saints is in question unless they return to practice in the next couple of days. And with the game coming on Monday night, fantasy managers could get stuck in a tricky situation in Week 9. Andrews has only three catches for 33 yards in the last two games, and rookie Isaiah Likely would have TE1 upside if Andrews doesn't play this week. Meanwhile, Edwards will be involved in a three-back committee with Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill if he's cleared to face the Saints.
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (foot) is having season-ending Lisfranc surgery on his left foot, according to head coach John Harbaugh. Bateman can now be safely dumped in single-year fantasy formats with this news. The 22-year-old was the team's No. 1 receiver and will finish 2022 with 15 receptions on 28 targets for 285 yards and two touchdowns in six games in his second NFL season. With Bateman now out the rest of the way, receivers Demarcus Robinson, Devin Duvernay and James Proche II all become more interesting flex plays, especially with tight end Mark Andrews (ankle, shoulder) also nursing injuries. Tylan Wallace will also be fighting for a bigger role in Baltimore's offense.

Baltimore Ravens linebacker Tyus Bowser (Achilles) has been activated from the injured reserve. The 27-year-old returned to practice on October 12th, so he has been getting back into game shape. Last season, Bowser led the team with sacks and tackles for loss before suffering a torn Achilles in Week 18. His return to the field should be a boost for the Ravens defense. The Baltimore linebacker group is getting stronger with Bowser back and recently acquired Roquan Smith joining the team. Bowser has a chance at playing in Week 9, but the team will likely wait and see how he feels during practice.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (foot) will miss a few weeks after aggravating his foot injury in the Week 8 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday, according to head coach John Harbaugh. Harbaugh said it's "more than a tweak," which is how he described Bateman's injury after Thursday's game. Bateman needs to be stashed in all formats as Baltimore's top wideout when healthy, but fantasy managers are going to be without him for at least a couple of weeks. In his absence, Demarcus Robinson, Devin Duvernay and James Proche II will all see increased roles and are worth consideration as waiver-wire pickups this week. Tight end Mark Andrews, who is dealing with minor ankle and shoulder injuries, should be heavily involved as well.
It appears as though Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (ankle, shoulder) has avoided a major injury, according to head coach John Harbaugh. Andrews is dealing with both ankle and shoulder injuries and injured his shoulder last Thursday night in the win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and never returned to the game. The 27-year-old finished with just three catches for 33 yards last week and had a donut for his fantasy managers the week prior, so they are hoping he'll be healthier for the Week 9 game against the New Orleans Saints next Monday night. With receiver Rashod Bateman (foot) out multiple weeks as well, rookie tight end Isaiah Likely will be a popular waiver-wire pickup this week after scoring his first career touchdown in Week 8.
Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (hamstring) is considered day-to-day with a mild hamstring injury, according to head coach John Harbaugh. Edwards tweaked his hamstring late in last Thursday's win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but he avoided a serious injury and could have a chance to play in next Monday night's affair against the New Orleans Saints to close out Week 9 action. The 27-year-old missed all of last year due to a torn ACL, but he returned in Week 7 and scored two touchdowns on 16 carries to lead the backfield. He had 11 carries for 65 yards before getting injured last Thursday, and Baltimore could lean more on Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill next Monday, even if Edwards is healthy enough to play.
The Baltimore Ravens acquired linebacker Roquan Smith from the Chicago Bears on Monday in exchange for linebacker A.J. Klein and second- and fifth-round draft picks, according to a source. The Bears have now traded both Smith and veteran defensive end Robert Quinn (to the Eagles) with the trade deadline approaching on Tuesday. Smith is one of the top IDP linebackers on a weekly basis, as he's recorded a league-high 83 tackles (52 solo), four tackles for loss, three QB hits, 2.5 sacks, two interceptions and three passes defensed in eight games so far in 2022. His addition to the Ravens D will make them more formidable as a fantasy unit, while Chicago's defense has now lost basically their best two players in a matter of days. The move to Baltimore shouldn't affect Smith's fantasy value in IDP formats.

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (hamstring) is not expected to miss significant time. The 27-year-old suffered a hamstring injury during Thursday's win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Luckily, the team believes it's a minor issue, so he might only miss a week of action. Edwards has been a strong fantasy option when healthy, so fantasy managers should continue to hold him. Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill will benefit, assuming Edwards is forced to miss time. Drake is the better fantasy option between the two backs.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (shoulder) is questionable to return for Thursday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was dealing with a knee injury heading into Thursday's game. The 27-year-old picked up a shoulder injury during Thursday's game and headed to the locker room for further evaluation. Andrews had three catches for 33 yards before exiting. The severity of Andrew's shoulder injury is unknown, and the team should provide an update shortly. Stay tuned.
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (shoulder) has been ruled out for the remainder of Thursday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Andrews didn't practice this week with a knee injury and is now dealing with a shoulder issue. The 27-year-old picked up a shoulder injury during the second quarter of Thursday's contest. He had three catches for 33 yards before exiting. The severity of Andrew's shoulder injury is unknown, and he is considered day-to-day. Isaiah Likely and Josh Oliver could see an uptick in targets while Andrews is sidelined. Stay tuned for more updates.
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (foot) apparently aggravated his foot injury in the Thursday night game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and has been ruled out for the rest of the contest. Bateman entered the game with a questionable tag. Before leaving the game for good on Thursday, Bateman was unable to haul in his only target. It's a major disappointment for fantasy managers that had him in their lineups to kick off Week 8 action. Baltimore also lost tight end Mark Andrews (shoulder) in the same game, which has allowed receivers Demarcus Robinson and James Proche II to have expanded roles in the passing game. Rookie tight end Isaiah Likely has caught three of his four targets for 34 yards and would be a waiver-wire target if Andrews is forced to miss additional time beyond Week 8.
Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (hamstring) is listed as questionable to return to the Thursday night game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after injuring his hamstring in the fourth quarter. At the time of his injury, Edwards was leading the Ravens backfield with 11 carries for 65 yards, but there's a good chance he won't return in this one. This was only his second game of the 2022 season after recovering from a torn ACL last year. J.K. Dobbins (knee) is currently on Injured Reserve, so if Edwards' injury is serious enough to cause him to miss time, Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill be both be given larger roles in the offense. Baltimore's offense already lost tight end Mark Andrews (shoulder) and receiver Rashod Bateman (foot) to injuries in Thursday's game.
Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said tight end Mark Andrews' shoulder injury is "not serious." He is dealing with a shoulder strain and will have nine days to recover ahead of next Sunday's matchup against the New York Giants. The 27-year-old had three catches for 33 yards before exiting with a shoulder strain during the second quarter. Andrews has been one of the top fantasy tight ends this season, catching 42 passes for 488 yards and five touchdowns over eight games. Fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief as the shoulder injury reportedly is not severe. Andrews is day-to-day for now.
Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that wide receiver Rashod Bateman (foot) just tweaked his foot injury in Thursday night's win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Bateman entered the game with a questionable tag, but he was active despite dealing with the injury for the last few weeks. Unfortunately he didn't stick around for long and failed to catch his only target in the game. It doesn't sound like Bateman's injury is too serious, but we'll have to see if he'll be available for the team's Monday night game in Week 9 against the New Orleans Saints. If he's not, receivers Devin Duvernay, James Proche II and Demarcus Robinson will all become more attractive as flex plays against a beat up Saints secondary.
Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said after the Thursday night win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers that it didn't look like running back Gus Edwards' hamstring injury seemed too bad. However, the team will know more on Friday after running tests. Edwards came into the game questionable with a knee injury after making his season debut in Week 7, but he left in the fourth quarter on Thursday with a hamstring injury. Despite the injury, Edwards led the backfield with 11 carries for 65 yards. He wasn't targeted in the passing game. The 27-year-old will have extra time to rest before the Week 9 game against the New Orleans Saints on Monday night, but Edwards could still be in danger of missing that contest. If that's the case, Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill would see larger workloads in the backfield.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (knee) and wide receiver Rashod Bateman (foot) are both hopeful that they will be able to play on Thursday Night Football against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to sources. Both players are listed as questionable, and Andrews didn't practice at all on the short week. Fantasy managers will want to check back later on Thursday for the official inactives. Andrews is a must-start elite TE1 when he's active, but he also played through his injury last week and finished with zero catches. While it's unlikely, if neither Andrews nor Bateman are cleared to play, rookie tight end Isaiah Likely and receiver Devin Duvernay would be the two biggest beneficiaries in Baltimore's passing attack against a beat up Bucs secondary.
Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (knee), who is listed as questionable for Thursday Night Football, is expected to play against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, barring any pre-game setbacks, according to sources. Edwards made his season debut in the Week 7 win over the Cleveland Browns and led the backfield with 16 carries for 66 yards and two touchdowns. He missed his only target in the passing game. Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill combined for 16 carries, while quarterback Lamar Jackson took off running 10 times. Edwards should again be the lead back against Tampa, but fantasy managers should consider him more of a touchdown-dependent RB3/flex in starting lineups.
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (knee) is active for the Week 8 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 27-year-old was questionable coming into this game due to a knee issue. He played through the injury last week and finished with zero receptions. Fantasy managers are hopeful that Andrews is healthy and able to produce in this one. He should be considered an elite TE1 for this Thursday Night matchup. Fantasy managers should make sure Andrews is back in their lineups.
Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (knee) will suit up for the Week 8 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was listed as questionable coming into this game, but it was more of injury management than a real problem. Edwards finished with 66 yards on 16 carries with two touchdowns last week. He should be a strong flex option for this Thursday Night matchup. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups accordingly.
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (foot) is active for the Week 8 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Bateman was questionable during the week, but was expected to suit up. Fantasy managers should consider him a boom-or-bust WR3 for this Thursday Night matchup. Bateman doesn't have great upside, but could be helpful to fantasy managers who are desperate for help at wide receiver. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups accordingly.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety Antoine Winfield (concussion) and cornerbacks Sean Murphy-Bunting (quadriceps) and Carlton Davis (hip) have been ruled out for Thursday night's game against the Baltimore Ravens. Tampa's secondary enters this game pretty vulnerable, which is good news for Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson and the team's deep passing attack. With Winfield ruled out after suffering a concussion in the Week 7 loss to the Carolina Panthers, the Buccaneers will be asking Keanu Neal and Nolan Turner to step up at the safety position. Fantasy managers in IDP leagues will need to find another option at the defensive back spot with Winfield sidelined this week.
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (knee), wide receiver Rashod Bateman (foot) and offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley (ankle) are all listed as questionable for Thursday night's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Andrews didn't practice all week, so he's in serious danger of missing the Week 8 contest after failing to catch a pass in the Week 7 win over the Cleveland Browns. If Andrews were to sit out, rookie Isaiah Likely would have some real appeal as a TE2 streamer. Bateman was able to practice in full on Wednesday, so he should be available against Tampa as quarterback Lamar Jackson's top aerial target. If Andrews doesn't play, Bateman could be peppered with targets against a banged-up Bucs secondary.
Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (knee) is listed as questionable to play on Thursday Night Football against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Edwards made his season debut in the Week 7 win over the Cleveland Browns and led the backfield with 16 carries for 66 yards and two touchdowns on 36 percent of the offensive snaps. Considering he missed all of last season with a torn ACL, the Ravens are likely just limiting his practice load heading into his second game of the year. Edwards appears to be on the right side of questionable, and it would be a bit of a surprise if he was inactive. Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill will continue to see touches here and there, but Edwards should be the Ravens' lead back as long as J.K. Dobbins (knee) is out.

TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report. Andrews entered the Week 7 win over the Cleveland Browns with a questionable tag. He was active and played 88 percent of the offensive snaps, but he failed to catch either of his two targets and carried the ball once for four yards. The 27-year-old likely wasn't close to 100 percent healthy and with a short week coming up against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday night, fantasy managers have to wonder how effective he'll be if he's active. Rookie Isaiah Likely caught his only target for 16 yards on Sunday, and he'd be worth a look as a TE2 streamer if Andrews is a surprise inactive in Week 8.
Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (knee) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report. Edwards was activated from Injured Reserve and made his season debut in the Week 7 win over the Cleveland Browns. He made a nice first impression, leading the backfield with 16 carries for 66 yards and two touchdowns. Edwards failed to catch his only target. With J.K. Dobbins now on Injured Reserve, Edwards should be a priority waiver-wire pickup for fantasy managers heading into Week 8 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday Night Football. The 27-year-old missed all of the 2021 season due to a torn ACL. He's currently rostered in 44 percent of Yahoo leagues.
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (knee) wasn't seen at the portion of practice open to the media on Tuesday. Andrews was also listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report, so he'll probably need to get onto the practice field in some capacity on Wednesday to have a shot at playing on Thursday night against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 27-year-old played despite a questionable tag in the Week 7 win over the Cleveland Browns, but he didn't record a catch and was double-teamed by the Browns defense for most of the game. Fantasy managers need to keep Andrews in their starting lineups if he's active, but they'll have to check the official inactives before Thursday's contest. If Andrews doesn't play, rookie Isaiah Likely will see a much bigger role in the passing attack.
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (foot) was unable to suit up for practice on Tuesday. This is not a good sign after Bateman missed Week 5 and 6 due to a foot injury. Luckily, he returned last week and played in the win over the Cleveland Browns. Possibly, the Ravens are just resting Bateman, but fantasy managers should check back on Wednesday. The Ravens have a quick turnaround with a matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday.
Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (knee) was limited during Tuesday's practice. This marks back-to-back days that Edwards has been limited due to a knee issue. Possibly, the Ravens are just being cautious considering Edwards recently returned from an ACL injury. He rushed 16 times for 66 yards and two touchdowns in his season debut last season. It appears Edwards is going to be a significant part of the backfield going forward. The Ravens have a quick turnaround with a matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday. Fantasy managers will have to check back for another update on Wednesday.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (knee) is expected to suit up against the Cleveland Browns in Week 7, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Andrews missed two consecutive practices before logging a limited session on Friday. The 27-year-old has totaled an impressive 39 catches, 455 yards, and five touchdowns en route to ranking as the TE2, behind only Travis Kelce. Andrews remains a must-start on Sunday.
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (foot) is trending towards suiting up against the Cleveland Browns in Week 7. As Ian Rapoport of NFL Network notes, "there is optimism" that Bateman will be able to play. The second-year receiver totaled 11 catches, 243 yards, and two touchdowns over the course of his first four games this season. Although he has flashed potential, Lamar Jackson prefers throwing to Mark Andrews over Bateman. As a result, the latter falls into the WR3 range in fantasy football this week.
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (knee) will suit up for the Week 7 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. He was listed as questionable coming into this contest after missing a couple of practices this week. Despite that, Andrews is ready to go and is a must-start in all fantasy formats. The expectation is that Andrews won't be limited, so fantasy managers should adjust their lineups accordingly.
Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (knee) is active for the Week 7 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. This was the expectation after Edwards was activated off the PUP list. This was be his first game action since suffering an ACL tear in September of last season. He'll get an excellent matchup against a Browns defense that has struggled to stop the run this season. However, he'll be forced to share carries with Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill in the backfield. Edwards will be a risky flex option for this Week 7 contest.
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (foot) is active for the Week 7 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. The expectation was that Bateman would play, but now it's official. The second-year wideout has 11 catches, 243 yards, and two touchdowns through four games this season. The Ravens don't have many weapons on offense, so Bateman should get a fair share of targets. He should be considered a high-end WR3 for this matchup against Cleveland.
Baltimore Ravens running back Mike Davis (coach's decision) is inactive for Week 7 against the Cleveland Browns. This was widely expected after the team activated Gus Edwards (knee) from the PUP list. With Davis and J.K. Dobbins (knee) sidelined, Baltimore will proceed with a three-headed backfield featuring Edwards, Kenyan Drake, and Justice Hill. All three backs rank as RB4 options this week, with Hill possessing the most upside thanks to his receiving ability.

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (hamstring) will play on Sunday in the AFC North meeting with Cleveland. The 24-year-old missed the previous two games with a hamstring ailment but was a full participant at practice throughout the week. With J.K. Dobbins (knee) out, Hill may see enough work to jeopardize the production of Kenyan Drake, who had 119 yards and a touchdown off 10 carries in the loss to the Giants in Week 6. There's also a chance Gus Edwards (knee) could return, which would complicate things even more for fantasy managers.
Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (knee) has been activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list and is expected to play in a Week 7 divisional showdown with the Cleveland Browns. Edwards suffered a torn ACL last September and has not played since. Offensive coordinator Greg Roman stated that he was "really excited" for Edwards' return, which comes at a convenient time for Baltimore with J.K. Dobbins (knee) now on Injured Reserve. Edwards has an excellent matchup on Sunday, as the Browns have allowed the third-most PPR fantasy points per game to running backs this season, but he could be eased in with Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill also receiving touches. This makes the entire Ravens backfield somewhat ambiguous for now, so fantasy managers should view Edwards as a dicey flex option this week.

TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (knee) practiced this week and is on track to return. According to Ravens offensive coordinator Greg Roman, Edwards is on track, and "we're really excited getting him back." The 27-year-old was designated to return from the PUP list on October 5, and the Ravens will have one more week to add him to the roster. Edwards could have a role once he returns as J.K. Dobbins (knee) is dealing with tightness in his knee and has yet to practice this week. Edwards remains a roster stash in all league formats for now.
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (knee) practiced Friday after taking Wednesday and Thursday off, so he's ready to go for Week 7 against the Cleveland Browns. Andrews and Travis Kelce have been in a tier of their own this season, so fantasy managers can breathe easy knowing he can stay in lineups. The Browns are one of the toughest defenses against fantasy tight ends, but as always, Andrews can explode in any matchup as his team's No. 1 target. Andrews could be listed as questionable on the final injury report, but all signs point to him suiting up.
Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) missed practice all week and has officially been ruled out for Week 7 against the Cleveland Browns. Justice Hill (hamstring), who practiced in full all week, was removed from the final injury report and will play on Sunday. He should have an expanded role alongside Kenyan Drake with Dobbins out. Dobbins had his surgically repaired left knee tighten up on him last week, so Baltimore is taking the cautious approach. Drake had 10 carries for a season-high 119 yards and a touchdown last week, making him a popular waiver-wire pickup heading into Week 7. He'll have upside as an RB3/flex against a Browns run defense that has been very generous to the position this year.
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (foot) is officially questionable for the team's Week 7 matchup with the Cleveland Browns. Cleveland will be without Denzel Ward (concussion) so Bateman could boom as the Ravens' No. 1 wide receiver. His floor is low in a run-heavy offense, but his ceiling is high as an explosive playmaker for Lamar Jackson. Cleveland is just a neutral matchup for wideouts, but Ward being out is significant.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (hip) practiced in full on Thursday and Friday and was removed from the final injury report for Week 7 against the Cleveland Browns. He will start under center on Sunday and is an absolute must-start at the position for fantasy managers. Jackson could be getting top wideout Rashod Bateman (foot) back, but he'll be without running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) in the backfield. The Browns have only allowed 31 rushing yards to opposing QBs so far this year, but Jackson isn't your normal rushing quarterback. Cleveland's defense has surrendered 27.2 points per game through the first six weeks, which is tied for the third-most points allowed in the NFL.
Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) is expected to undergo arthroscopic knee surgery next week that will sideline him for four to six weeks, according to sources. Dobbins had his surgically repaired left knee tighten up on him in the Week 6 loss to the New York Giants, and he'll go under the knife again after tearing his ACL and missing all of the 2021 season. It's a blow to Baltimore's backfield and any fantasy managers that were hoping for Dobbins to carry them as an RB2 this year. Kenyan Drake, who had a 100-yard rushing game and scored a TD last Sunday, now needs to be rostered in all formats, and Justice Hill is also worth a pickup, but Gus Edwards' (knee) impending return could throw a wrench into this backfield yet again in upcoming weeks.
Thursday, October 20
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (foot) practiced on Wednesday. Despite the wideout only logging a limited session, he was still out there, so it appears he's moving in the right direction toward returning to the field after missing his previous two games with a foot issue. The 22-year-old has 11 receptions for 243 yards and two touchdowns this season. While Bateman isn't a high-volume pass-catcher, his ability to make plays deep downfield makes him dangerous in any given week. But he will need to get healthy first, although his presence at practice was an encouraging update for fantasy managers.
Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) didn't practice on Wednesday. The former Buckeye's surgically repaired knee "tightened up" during Sunday's meeting with the New York Giants, keeping him out for the second half. Without question, the team will remain cautious with the 23-year-old, so there's a real chance he won't be available for the AFC North clash with the Browns. If Dobbins is ruled out, Kenyan Drake, who had 119 yards and a touchdown off 10 carries in Week 6, could be featured out of the backfield once again. However, with Justice Hill (hamstring) practicing in full on Wednesday, Drake may cede touches.
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (knee) missed a second straight day of practice this week on Thursday. Andrews reportedly had a rest day on Wednesday, but some eyebrows have been raised now that he's still not back on the practice field ahead of a Week 7 meeting with the Cleveland Browns. If he doesn't return to practice on Friday, there's a real chance that the 27-year-old elite fantasy tight end may not play this weekend. Andrews currently ranks second behind only Travis Kelce in fantasy points at the tight end position. If Andrews actually misses the game against the Browns, rookie Isaiah Likely will be on the map as a potential TE1 streamer.
Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) was unable to practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Dobbins' surgically repaired right knee tightened up on him in the Week 6 loss to the New York Giants, and he didn't play at all in the second half. With the 23-year-old not having practiced yet this week, there's a real chance that he might not be able to play this Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. Kenyan Drake, who was a popular waiver-wire pickup this week after rushing for 119 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries last weekend, would have RB2 upside yet again if Dobbins is unable to suit up against Cleveland. The Ravens could play it safe with Dobbins after he missed all of the 2021 season with a torn right ACL.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (hip) was a full participant during Thursday's practice. The 25-year-old was limited during Wednesday's practice, but was never expected to miss Week 7. The expectation is that he'll be fully healthy for the upcoming matchup with the Cleveland Browns. Fantasy managers should consider Jackson an elite QB1 for this upcoming matchup.
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (foot) was limited in practice again on Thursday. Bateman missed the last two games with a foot sprain, but he appears to be trending in the right direction to potentially return in Week 7 against the Cleveland Browns. There's a good chance he will be questionable for Sunday's game, but if he returns, he should immediately return as quarterback Lamar Jackson's top target through the air alongside tight end Mark Andrews, who is also nursing an injury and hasn't practiced yet this week. Bateman has 11 catches on 22 targets for 243 yards and two touchdowns through four games in his second NFL season. He scored in the first two weeks of the season but hasn't found the end zone since.

Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett (shoulder) re-aggravated his injured shoulder on Sunday against the Patriots. He suffered the injury during a car accident. On Tuesday, he found out the X-rays were negative, prompting head coach Kevin Stefanski to label him as "expected to play" this week in a divisional matchup with the Ravens. The 26-year-old is an elite pass-rusher and an integral part of the Browns' defense.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (hip) was limited in the team's practice on Wednesday. The severity of the injury is unknown, but his limited participation puts him on track to suit up on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. Assuming the former MVP ramps up his activity throughout the week, fantasy managers should have no concerns firing up Jackson as an elite QB1 option.
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (knee) did not practice on Wednesday due to a knee injury. Head coach John Harbaugh said that Andrews was getting a rest day on Wednesday, so it doesn't sound like his injury is all that serious. Still, it's something to keep an eye on for the rest of the week heading into the team's Week 7 game against the Cleveland Browns. The 27-year-old should be good to play this weekend as long as he returns to practice in the next two days. If active, Andrews is a must-start elite fantasy tight end. He currently sits behind only Travis Kelce in total fantasy points through six weeks after catching 39 of 57 targets for 455 yards and five touchdowns.

The Baltimore Ravens have signed free-agent wide receiver DeSean Jackson to their practice squad. The 35-year-old is not ready to call it a career and might still have a little left in the tank. He hauled in 20 receptions for 454 yards and two touchdowns between the Las Vegas Raiders and Los Angeles Rams last season. The Ravens are in desperate need of a playmaking receiver. Jackson should give Baltimore a possible deep threat for quarterback Lamar Jackson. It's uncertain what kind of fantasy value Jackson will have in Baltimore. He'll likely be a risky boom-or-bust option as a deep ball threat.
Monday, October 17
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (foot) could return soon, as head coach John Harbaugh revealed Bateman was dealing with a sprain. Bateman will return as the clear No. 1 WR for quarterback Lamar Jackson when he is back, but he'll still fall somewhere behind tight end Mark Andrews. This passing attack is desperate for playmakers, and Bateman showed he can be an X factor during the first two weeks of the season. In favorable matchups, he'll be very much back in the fantasy spotlight when he returns to the field.

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (hamstring) is officially inactive for Week 6 against the New York Giants. This was widely expected after the team listed him as doubtful.

TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (hamstring) isn't expected to play on Sunday against the Giants. The 24-year-old didn't suit up for the Week 5 AFC North matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals, either, so this will mark his second straight absence. Hill has logged only 19 carries for 125 yards this season, so he's not expected to contribute much even if he's cleared, especially with J.K. Dobbins back in the mix. With Gus Edwards (knee) on the cusp of his 2022-23 debut, Hill may be even less involved moving ahead once he's ready to return.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (foot) didn't practice on Friday, which means he'll likely miss his second straight game in Week 6 against the New York Giants. Bateman hasn't practiced in two weeks, so fantasy managers should keep him on their benches entering the weekend. With Bateman out in last Sunday night's win over the Cincinnati Bengals, Devin Duvernay played a season-high 72 percent of the offensive snaps and caught five of seven targets for 54 yards while carrying the ball three times for 24 additional yards. Along with Duvernay, tight ends Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely should see more targets through the air against New York. Duvernay is in play as a flex option in deeper leagues.
Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (knee) could make his season debut as soon as Week 7 after being designated to return off of the Physically Unable to Perform list early last week. Edwards should be picked up and stashed in deeper leagues as a committee back for Baltimore. J.K. Dobbins is considered to be the primary back for the Ravens, but it'll likely be a split workload between two or three players once Edwards makes his season debut. In a high-volume rushing offense, Edwards has value, at least as a handcuff RB.
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (foot) has been ruled out of the Week 6 game against the New York Giants. Bateman missed last week's game against the Cincinnati Bengals, so his chance to miss this week was always very real. In his absence, Devin Duvernay is a playable flex option, though the Giants have been among the stingiest defenses against fantasy wide receivers. Mark Andrews is the only must-start Ravens' pass-catcher.

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (hamstring) was not at practice on Wednesday after he was inactive in the Week 5 win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday night. Hill still has two days to return to practice, but he's not on the right track to return in Week 6 against the New York Giants. He's been efficient on his 19 carries this year, running for 125 yards (6.6 yards per carry) in four games, but he's unlikely to have standalone fantasy value as long as he's working behind No. 1 back J.K. Dobbins. If Hill misses his second straight game this Sunday, Kenyan Drake and Mike Davis will look to pick up scraps behind Dobbins. Gus Edwards (knee) is back at practice, but he remains on the Physically Unable to Perform list.
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (foot) is missing practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday. It's Bateman's fifth straight missed practice overall, and he doesn't look to be close to returning after being inactive for Sunday night's win over the Cincinnati Bengals. The 22-year-old will need to get in some practice reps on Friday if he wants to have a shot to play this Sunday against the New York Giants. If Bateman misses another game, Devin Duvernay would once again be in line for more work in the passing game after he played a season-high 72 percent of the snaps and caught five of seven targets for 54 yards in the Week 5 victory. He also carried the ball three times for 24 yards.
Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (hamstring) returned to practice on Thursday after being sidelined on Wednesday. It will be Hill's first practice since getting injured in Week 4. He missed the Week 5 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. The 24-year-old has been efficient with his touches -- 19 carries for 125 yards (career-high 6.6 yards per carry) in four games -- but he doesn't have any standalone fantasy appeal as long as J.K. Dobbins remains healthy as the backfield leader. And with Gus Edwards (knee) getting closer to making his season debut, Hill will soon slide further down the RB depth chart in Baltimore.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (foot) did not practice on Wednesday. The second-year receiver was unable to practice all last week and missed the Week 5 19-17 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. While the Ravens will have two more days of practice this week, fantasy players can't feel good about Bateman earning a DNP at today's practice. Devin Duvernay will take over as the No. 1 wide receiver against the New York Giants if the former Minnesota Golden Gopher can't play again on Sunday. Last week, the former Longhorn scored 10.3 half-point PPR fantasy points against the Bengals.

The Baltimore Ravens officially signed former Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Andy Isabella to their practice squad on Monday and waived wide receiver Bailey Gaither in a corresponding move. Isabella will give the Ravens thin receiving corps some more depth with Rashod Bateman (foot) currently injured. The 25-year-old was a former second-round pick of the Cardinals in 2019 out of Massachusetts, and he put up 33 catches on 54 targets for 447 yards and three touchdowns in 39 games (three starts) with Arizona before he was cut last week. In three games with the Cardinals this year, he caught just two of five targets for 21 yards and no touchdowns. It's unlikely that Isabella will see the field much in Baltimore, if at all.

Baltimore Ravens safety Marcus Williams (wrist) suffered a wrist injury in the Sunday night game against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals and is doubtful to return in the second half. Before leaving, Williams recorded two solo tackles for his fantasy managers. With the 26-year-old unlikely to return to this contest, Kyle Hamilton will be asked to step up in Baltimore's secondary. Coming into the Week 5 game, Williams had racked up 31 tackles (24 solo), three interceptions, five passes defensed and a fumble recovery in four games. He's been in play as a starting defensive back in IDP leagues, but it remains to be seen if he'll be able to play in Week 6.
Baltimore Ravens safety Marcus Williams (wrist) is expected to miss a significant amount of time, according to head coach John Harbaugh. He injured his wrist during Sunday's matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. The organization believes that Williams has suffered a dislocated wrist, which is not good news for them. The expectation is that Williams is going to need a long time to recover from this. First-round pick Kyle Hamilton is likely going to be forced to jump into the starting lineup with Williams expected to miss multiple weeks.
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (foot) missed the Week 5 game against the Cincinnati Bengals, but head coach John Harbaugh said he might be back for the matchup with the New York Giants in Week 6. Bateman is far from a must-start, but he has upside as the No. 1 WR in Baltimore. Based on his first four games this season, he can be viewed as a boom-or-bust option. Since the Baltimore offense prefers to be run-heavy, Bateman is more valuable in standard leagues.
Baltimore Ravens safety Marcus Williams (wrist) will be placed on Injured Reserve after dislocating his wrist in the win against the Cincinnati Bengals. His injury won't be season-ending, but it could be significant for fantasy football. The Ravens' secondary has already been among the worst in the NFL, so it could be getting even worse. The Ravens should remain a passing defense to target in fantasy and DFS. On the flipside, Lamar Jackson passing attempts could spike if the Ravens' defense can't keep offenses off the scoreboard.

Baltimore Ravens left tackle Ronnie Stanley (ankle) is expected to be active for his season debut against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday afternoon. Stanley has not played since last season's opener and has found himself plagued by ankle injuries over the last two seasons. His return should strengthen a Ravens offensive line that looks to fend off Trey Hendrickson and other Cincinnati playmakers in Week 5.
Baltimore Ravens offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley (ankle) will officially make his long-awaited return for the AFC North battle against the Cincinnati Bengals. The All-Pro, who has played sparingly over the last few seasons, had been dealing with an ankle issue and was working his way back ever since. Considering the Ravens have had issues keeping its offensive line healthy, Stanley's return couldn't come at a better time, especially since his presence will make life easier for Lamar Jackson and J.K. Dobbins.
Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (chest) will play on Sunday night versus the Cincinnati Bengals. The former Buckeye didn't practice on Wednesday because of a chest issue, the same injury he had heading into the Week 4 meeting against Buffalo. However, the ailment didn't seem to bother him too much, especially since he finished that one with two trips to the end zone. Nevertheless, with Justice Hill (hamstring) out, Dobbins is expected to see even more snaps than the 35 he saw in Week 4, making him more than just a flex option for fantasy managers.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (foot) and running back Justice Hill (hamstring) have been ruled out for Week 5 against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday Night Football. Bateman missed practice all week and needs to be benched this weekend by his fantasy managers. With the 22-year-old out, Devin Duvernay and Demarcus Robinson should be the team's top two wideouts, but tight end Mark Andrews should be expected to lead this team in aerial targets in this contest. Hill has been very efficient for the Ravens backfield this year, but he'll miss at least one game. J.K. Dobbins should be Baltimore's primary backfield option, with Mike Davis and Kenyan Drake fighting for scraps behind him.

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that he's hopeful wide receiver Rashod Bateman (foot) will be available to play on Sunday night against the Cincinnati Bengals, although there isn't any real update from Monday's day-to-day prognosis, and Bateman didn't practice on Wednesday. The 22-year-old left the Week 4 loss to the Buffalo Bills in the fourth quarter and finished with just three catches on six targets for 17 yards while playing a season-low 44 percent of the offensive snaps. Fantasy managers must prepare for the possibility that Bateman doesn't play this weekend, and a true questionable tag on Sunday Night Football will make him an extremely risky option. Tight end Mark Andrews would be a near lock for a bounce-back game against Cincy if Bateman is inactive.
Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (chest) was added to the injury report with a chest injury. The 23-year-old is coming off a productive outing against the Buffalo Bills where he had 63 total yards on 17 opportunities along with two touchdowns. Dobbins was listed with this same chest issue last Wednesday prior to Week 4, and he ended up practicing fully that Thursday. Based on this pattern, it appears that Wednesdays might just be days off for the third year back from now on. Expect Dobbins to suit up for Sunday Night Football in a Week 5 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Free-agent wide receiver Andy Isabella signed with the Baltimore Ravens practice squad on Wednesday. The Arizona Cardinals released Isabella on Tuesday, and the Ravens quickly scooped him up. He had two catches for 21 yards over three games in 2022. The former second-round pick had 33 catches for 447 yards and three touchdowns over 39 games with Arizona. Isabella will be given a fresh start and will look to turn things around in Baltimore. The 25-year-old adds wide receiver depth to the Ravens but is not on the fantasy radar in 2022.

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (hamstring) is expected to be sidelined for an unknown amount of time, according to head coach Jim Harbaugh. The team doesn't believe it's a serious injury, but they haven't given a timetable for his return. It's a hamstring injury and those do have a tendency to linger. Fantasy managers who were planning on using Hill this week should look for another option. The Ravens will use the backfield of J.K. Dobbins with Kenyan Drake and Mike Davis for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Long-time Baltimore Ravens standout cornerback Jimmy Smith is retiring on Monday after 11 seasons with the team, the Ravens announced. Smith was originally drafted by Baltimore in the first round (27th overall) in 2011 out of the University of Colorado, and he spent all 11 seasons of his NFL career with the Ravens. In total, he racked up 374 tackles (324 solo), eight tackles for loss, three QB hits, 14 interceptions (two for touchdowns), 74 passes defensed, three forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries (one touchdown) and three sacks in 128 regular season games (90 starts). The 34-year-old played in only 10 games (two starts) in 2021 and had 18 tackles (15 solo) and three passes defensed.
Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (knee) will begin practice as soon as he's been designated to return off the NFL's Physically Unable to Perform list. Edwards tore his ACL around the same time J.K. Dobbins did but has yet to return to game action this season. When Edwards returns, he'll be on the fantasy radar along with Dobbins. All other Ravens RBs will take a hit in value if Edwards is healthy and ready to go. Expect this to be a frustrating and confusing committee backfield upon his return.
Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that wide receiver Rashod Bateman (foot) was dealing with a foot injury in the second half of the Week 4 loss to the Buffalo Bills, which is why he was not on the field in the fourth quarter. The Ravens are listing Bateman as day-to-day for now, so fantasy managers will need to keep an eye on his practice status throughout the week leading up to a Week 5 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday Night Football. Unless the 22-year-old suffers a setback this week, he should be on track to suit up this week. He played a season-low 44 percent of the snaps on Sunday and caught just three of six targets for 17 yards. With better health in Week 5, fantasy managers will be hoping he can bounce back after scoring touchdowns in each of the first two weeks.

Baltimore Ravens tackle Ronnie Stanley (ankle) "has his status up in the air" for Week 4, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Stanley did not practice Friday and was ultimately labeled as questionable heading into Sunday's game. Rapoport adds that there is "plenty of hesitation about him playing" and the team may exercise caution by choosing to hold him out.
Baltimore Ravens linebacker Jason Pierre-Paul plans on making his team debut against the Buffalo Bills in Week 4. The veteran linebacker signed with the team last week. The Ravens are in desperate need of help after losing three linebackers due to injury. The expectation is Pierre-Paul will immediately slide into a significant role on defense. This doesn't completely fix their problems, but the addition of Pierre-Paul should help ease the loss of the other players.
Baltimore Ravens running back Kenyan Drake and left tackle Ronnie Stanley (ankle) are both inactive for Week 4 against the Buffalo Bills. With J.K. Dobbins playing in his second straight game, Drake will be a healthy scratch for the second straight week. Stanley is still recovering from season-ending ankle surgery he had last year and will have to wait to make his season debut until next week, at the earliest. The 28-year-old practiced in full on Wednesday and Thursday but was a DNP on Friday, so he's trending in the right direction. In addition to Drake and Stanley, outside linebacker Justin Houston (groin) is inactive after coming into this one with a doubtful tag.
Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (hamstring) is questionable to return against the Buffalo Bills in Week 4. He totaled 45 rushing yards and 12 receiving yards before exiting. Mike Davis should serve as J.K. Dobbins' backup for the duration of Hill's absence.

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) has been taken off this week's final injury report and will play in Week 4 against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. Dobbins made his season debut in the Week 3 win over the New England Patriots after missing all of the 2021 season due to a torn ACL. As we predicted, he didn't help fantasy managers all that much with just seven carries for 23 yards, adding two receptions for 17 yards while playing 45 percent of the offensive snaps. The 23-year-old former second-rounder should see more usage this weekend alongside Justice Hill, but against a tough Bills defensive front, fantasy managers should once again keep expectations in check. Dobbins should be considered an RB3/flex with limited upside this week.
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Jake Kumerow (ankle) did not manage to take part in practice all week and has subsequently been ruled out for the Week 4 game against the Baltimore Ravens. After suffering a high-ankle sprain in the Week 3 loss to the Miami Dolphins, the 30-year-old will likely miss more than just this weekend's game. Kumerow didn't see a single target in the season opener, but he did have two catches on three targets for 50 yards with Gabe Davis inactive in Week 2. Before his injury early in last week's game, he caught both of his targets for just 14 yards. In Week 4 against the Ravens, Stefon Diggs, Davis and Isaiah McKenzie will be the team's top three receiver weapons for quarterback Josh Allen.

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (chest) was limited during Wednesday's practice due to a chest injury. Dobbins returned to the field in Week 3 against the New England Patriots after rehabbing from his ACL surgery. It was nice to see him back on the field after his extended absence, but the Ravens appear to be easing him back into the offense. For the 23-year-old, this limited practice shouldn't be seen as a huge surprise considering he just went through his first real game action since the major injury. Dobbins should be suiting up in Week 4, but it'd be wise to look for other fantasy options considering the Ravens are facing off against a ferocious Buffalo Bills defensive line.
Baltimore Ravens left tackle Ronnie Stanley (ankle) is trending in the right direction and told reporters, "You might see me this week" in Week 4 against the Buffalo Bills. Stanley has been recovering from season-ending ankle surgery last October and has yet to make his 2022 season debut. But the 28-year-old Pro Bowler has returned to full practice this week and could make it back this Sunday against a strong Buffalo pass rush. The Ravens have been using Patrick Mekari as their starting left tackle on quarterback Lamar Jackson's blind side to open the year with Stanley still recovering.

Baltimore Ravens defensive tackle Michael Pierce (biceps) suffered a torn biceps in the Week 3 win over the New England Patriots, but there is no definitive word yet on how the team will proceed and if Pierce can make it back at some point this year, according to sources. Pierce will undergo further tests. Typically, a torn biceps will keep a player out for the entire season, so the 29-year-old defensive lineman is looking at a lengthy absence. Through the first three weeks of the season, Pierce had only six tackles (four solo), a QB hit and a forced fumble for the Ravens defense.

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) is in "good shape" coming out of his first game since January of 2020 when he made his season debut in the Week 3 win over the New England Patriots on Sunday. In his first game this year, Dobbins played 43 percent of the offensive snaps and handled a team-high seven carries for 23 yards (3.29 yards per tote) while catching both of his targets for an additional 17 yards. The 23-year-old didn't do much for his fantasy managers, but he should continue to see a bigger piece of the action in Baltimore's backfield moving forward as their lead back in front of Mike Davis and Justice Hill. Kenyan Drake was inactive with Dobbins making his season debut.

Baltimore Ravens cornerbacks Marlon Humphrey (groin) and Marcus Peters (knee) are expected to be active for Week 3 against the New England Patriots, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. Both players had been listed as questionable. Just last week, Baltimore's secondary was exposed by the Miami Dolphins, but Humphrey and Peters combined for 11 tackles. Their presence is imperative as the Ravens look to get above .500 this week.
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver James Proche II (groin), who was questionable for Week 3 against the New England Patriots, will not play. Proche will miss his second straight game after also being inactive in the Week 2 loss to the Miami Dolphins. In the season opener, the 26-year-old pass-catcher played just five offensive snaps and wasn't targeted at all. He remains well off the fantasy radar for now. Tylan Wallace and Demarcus Robinson will vie for No. 3 duties yet again this Sunday behind Rashod Bateman and Devin Duvernay.
Baltimore Ravens rookie tight end Isaiah Likely (groin) is active for the Week 3 contest against the New England Patriots. Likely came into this game listed as questionable, but he will be on the field in this one. The 22-year-old didn't catch a single one of his four targets in his NFL debut in Week 1, but he bounced back with four receptions for 43 yards in last week's stunning loss to the Miami Dolphins. Likely has plenty of long-term intrigue in both real life and fantasy, but as long as he remains behind Mark Andrews, he'll have his fantasy ceiling capped. He's not a realistic starting option for fantasy lineups this Sunday against the Pats.
Baltimore Ravens offensive tackle Patrick Mekari (ankle) was carted off the field during Sunday's win over the New England Patriots. He did not return. Without Ronnie Stanley (ankle) and Ja'Wuan James (Achilles), the Ravens may be forced to continue to roll with fourth-round rookie Daniel Faalele, team's fourth-string left tackle, in Week 4 versus Buffalo. However, despite the constant ailments across the offensive line, there appears to be no slowing down Lamar Jackson, with the signal-caller running for over 100 yards in Week 3 for the second time in as many games.

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) was a full participant in practice on Friday, just as he was on Wednesday and Thursday. Still, the team has listed him as questionable to play in a Week 3 away matchup against the New England Patriots. Dobbins practiced in full for the entirety of last week as well before being ruled out for Week 2. Dobbins and his fantasy managers alike are anxiously awaiting his 2022 debut after the third-year back tore his ACL in the 2021 preseason. Even if he is active, though, this may not be the time to fire him up as it is possible that he is eased into action over the next few weeks. Additionally, the Patriots have been stout against the run to start the season. Dobbins should be viewed as a risky flex option if he indeed suits up.
Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely (groin) has been listed as questionable ahead of the team's Week 3 matchup with the New England Patriots. The rookie has been a limited participant in practice all week after seeing five targets in his second career game. Even if Likely is good to go, he should not yet be considered in starting fantasy lineups. He proved to be electric in the preseason and could see his opportunity expand as the season goes on, but he is yet to play on 50% or more of snaps in a game. He is a name to monitor, but can be left on the waiver wire in standard redraft leagues.
The Baltimore Ravens downgraded left tackle Ronnie Stanley (ankle) from doubtful to out for the Week 3 game against the New England Patriots. Stanley will have to wait until Week 4 to attempt to make his 2022 season debut on quarterback Lamar Jackson's blind side. The 28-year-old continues to recover from ankle surgery that cut short his 2021 season. The Ravens have also put Ja'Wuan James (Achilles) on Injured Reserve after he tore his Achilles early this year, so they are down to Patrick Mekari as their starting left tackle against the Patriots this weekend.
Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) is officially active for the team's Week 3 matchup against the New England Patriots. This will be Dobbins' first NFL action since the 2021 preseason finale in which he tore his ACL. The third-year running back practiced in full all week but does have a tough first test against a solid Patriots run defense. It is unknown if Dobbins will be eased in over the next few weeks, but fantasy managers should expect Kenyan Drake and possibly Mike Davis to get some touches. For these reasons, it may be best to wait and see with Dobbins, who is best viewed as a low-end flex play for fantasy this week.

TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) practiced fully on Thursday. The 23-year-old also logged a session on Wednesday, so he appears to be moving closer to making his 2022-23 debut. Dobbins didn't play last season after tearing his ACL and has been scratching and clawing to get back out there since. However, even if the former Buckeye suits up against the Pats in Week 3, he may not see his usual workload, so fantasy managers could consider playing it safe until he's back to full strength. At the same time, Dobbins may get enough action to remove Kenyan Drake Justice Hill, and Mike Davis from fantasy consideration altogether, at least for those who haven't done so already.
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Devin Duvernay (concussion) was limited in practice on Thursday. He didn't practice on Wednesday, so he's at least moving in the right direction after suffering a concussion in Week 2 against the Dolphins. The 25-year-old is having a fantastic season, totaling three touchdowns in the first two games, so the Ravens would love to have him out there versus New England. However, if he isn't available, Demarcus Robinson, who found the end zone versus Miami, could be a sneaky flex option for deep league fantasy managers.
The Baltimore Ravens and free-agent pass-rusher Jason Pierre-Paul agreed to a one-year deal worth up to $5.5 million on Thursday, according to a source. The two sides had been talking for months, and the deal will be a rare non-minimum deal during the season. Baltimore's defense was one of the most beat up units (mostly in the secondary) last year, but they've already dealt with some key injuries on that side of the ball through two weeks in 2022, so Pierre-Paul will give them some much-needed veteran depth. The 33-year-old three-time Pro Bowler had 2.5 sacks, 31 tackles (20 solo), three tackles for loss, five QB hits, four passes defensed and one forced fumble in 12 starts for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2021.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (elbow) was a full participant in Thursday's practice after he was limited on Wednesday. Jackson is dealing with a sore right elbow, but head coach John Harbaugh said on Wednesday that Jackson will play in Week 3 against the New England Patriots. The 25-year-old signal-caller also wasn't using a sleeve on his right arm like he was on Wednesday. Fantasy managers need to keep Jackson locked into their starting lineups as a high-end QB1 play this weekend. Jackson put up big numbers in last week's loss to the Miami Dolphins, throwing for 318 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions on 29 attempts while also carrying the ball nine times for 119 yards and another touchdown.
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Devin Duvernay (concussion) has been cleared to play in Week 3 after suffering a concussion in Week 2 against the Dolphins. The speedster started off his last game with a 103-yard kick return touchdown and caught both of his targets for 42 yards. After scoring two touchdowns in Week 1, Duvernay is establishing himself as an important piece of this Baltimore offense, meaning he could find himself as a deep league FLEX option this week. He is third in line for targets behind Mark Andrews and Rashod Bateman, but the 25-year-old has been able to produce despite this.

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. Dobbins was able to practice in full all of last week, but the Ravens took the cautious approach and held him out of the Week 2 loss to the Miami Dolphins. The 23-year-old is getting closer to making his season debut after missing all of last year with a torn ACL. If Dobbins makes his season debut this Sunday against the New England Patriots, there's a chance he could be eased into the fold, making him a risky flex play. In his absence the first two weeks, the Ravens have used a committee approach with Kenyan Drake, Mike Davis and Justice Hill, but it hasn't yielded any fantasy value. Dobbins should eventually be the team's lead back when he's 100 percent healthy.
Baltimore Ravens rookie tight end Isaiah Likely (groin) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. Likely failed to haul in any of his four targets in his NFL debut in the season opener, but he got on the board in the Week 2 loss to the Miami Dolphins, catching four of five targets for 43 yards on 36 percent of the offensive snaps, down from 45 percent in the opener. The 22-year-old's injury doesn't sound very serious, so he should be active in Week 3 against the New England Patriots, and he could see more work if receiver Devin Duvernay (concussion) can't clear the league's concussion protocols. There's plenty of long-term upside with Likely, but it's hard to justify giving him a roster spot right now in standard 12-team leagues.
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Devin Duvernay (concussion) missed Wednesday's practice after suffering a concussion in the Week 2 loss to the Miami Dolphins. James Proche II (groin) was a limited participant. Duvernay had four catches for 54 yards and two touchdowns in the season opener, but he caught two passes for 42 yards last weekend before suffering a concussion. If the 25-year-old doesn't clear the league's concussion protocol in time for Week 3 against the New England Patriots, Demarcus Robinson and Tylan Wallace would fight for targets behind Rashod Bateman and tight end Mark Andrews.
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver James Proche (groin) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. After playing just five snaps in Baltimore's season opener, the third-year receiver was held out of Week 2 with a groin injury. He failed to suit up for practice on Thursday and Friday last week, so him practicing in any capacity to start this week is a good sign. The 26-year-old is currently listed as the No. 4 wideout on the Ravens' depth chart. Without any other Baltimore receivers missing from their upcoming matchup against the New England Patriots, Proche is unlikely to make an impact for fantasy football.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (elbow) was limited in practice on Wednesday with a right elbow injury, but head coach John Harbaugh said that Jackson will play in Week 3 against the New England Patriots. Jackson was wearing a sleeve on his right elbow, but he will be good to go for fantasy managers as a high-end QB1 after going off in the Week 2 loss to the Miami Dolphins. The 25-year-old threw for 318 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions on 29 attempts last Sunday while also gaining 119 rushing yards and a score on nine rushing attempts. Unless Jackson suffers some sort of setback later in week, he should be locked into starting fantasy lineups for the week.

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh reiterated Monday that running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) is "week-to-week," and he wouldn't say whether Dobbins would make his 2022 season debut in Week 3 against the New England Patriots. Dobbins was able to practice in full all of last week, but the Ravens still held him out in the Week 2 loss to the Miami Dolphins. Baltimore is being extremely cautious with the 23-year-old former second-rounder after he missed all of 2021 with a torn left ACL. Once Dobbins does return, there's also a good chance that he's not given a full backfield workload initially, which will make him a shaky flex play in fantasy lineups. Kenyan Drake has operated as the team's lead back through two weeks, but it hasn't produced much -- 17 carries for 39 yards and one catch for 15 yards.
The Baltimore Ravens placed outside linebacker Steven Means (Achilles) on Injured Reserve on Monday. The Ravens also put undrafted rookie linebacker Josh Ross (foot) on IR after he suffered a foot injury in the Week 2 loss to the Miami Dolphins. Means is believed to have suffered a torn Achilles on Sunday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, which would end his 2022 season. He's undergoing an MRI exam on Monday to confirm the diagnosis. It's bad news for the Ravens defense, as the 32-year-old was one of the team's only healthy reserve outside linebackers behind starters Odafe Oweh and Justin Houston. Baltimore will be hoping to get Tyus Bowser (Achilles) and David Ojabo (Achilles) off the Physically Unable to Perform list after Week 4.

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) is not a guarantee to play in Week 2, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. Despite practicing in full this week, Dobbins is listed as questionable and "it appears unlikely" that he will play, Rapoport notes. If he is forced to miss another game, the Ravens will likely proceed with Kenyan Drake as their lead back, followed by Mike Davis. Of course, Lamar Jackson also possesses an otherworldly ability to put up numbers in the rushing attack. Fantasy managers invested in Dobbins' availability should check back around 11:30 a.m. EST when the Ravens release their list of inactive players.
Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey (groin) is expected to play on Sunday despite not being 100 percent, according to a tweet from NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. Humphrey was healthy for last week's game against the New York Jets, tallying seven tackles and one fumble recovery. He and the rest of the Baltimore secondary will be tasked with slowing down the Miami Dolphins' talented two-headed monster of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle in Week 2.
Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) has been officially ruled out for the Week 2 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. This shouldn't come as a surprise considering Dobbins is still recovering from a torn ACL. Although, it sounds like Dobbins is making progress and should return within the next few weeks. In the meantime, the Ravens are expected to use a committee approach on the ground. Kenyan Drake rushed 11 times for 31 yards last week, so he'll likely get a similar workload on Sunday. Although, Mike Davis and Justice Hill will also be in the mix as well.
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver James Proche II (groin) and offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley (ankle) have both been ruled out for the Week 2 game against the Miami Dolphins. Meanwhile, cornerback Marcus Peters (knee) is active. Both Proche and Stanley were doubtful to play this Sunday. With Proche out, expect Tylan Wallace to be the team's No. 4 receiver against Miami behind Rashod Bateman, Devin Duvernay and Demarcus Robinson. Stanley is working his way back from season-ending ankle surgery last year and has yet to play in 2022. Ja'Wuan James started on quarterback Lamar Jackson's blind side in Week 1, but he tore his Achilles in the season opener and is out for the year. Patrick Mekari will now start at left tackle in Week 2. It could be an issue for the Ravens offense on Sunday.
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Devin Duvernay (concussion) didn't return to Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins. After the wideout accumulated two touchdowns in Week 1, he began Week 2 with a bang, finding the end zone off a 103-yard kickoff return in the first play of the afternoon. Nevertheless, Duvernay will likely ride an injury designation heading into the Week 2 showdown versus the Patriots. However, if he misses time, Rashod Bateman and Mark Andrews should pick up some of the slack. Isaiah Likely and Demarcus Robinson may also get more involved.

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) practiced in full all week, but he's still listed as questionable to play in Week 2 against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Dobbins is still working his way back from a torn ACL that robbed him of his entire 2021 season, and he was inactive in the season-opening victory over the New York Jets. Baltimore isn't going to rush him back as the lead back, and even if he's active this Sunday against Miami, he'll be a shaky RB3/flex option for fantasy managers at risk of seeing limited snaps. In Week 1, Kenyan Drake was the clear lead back, followed by Justice Hill and Mike Davis. Relying on the Ravens backfield this early in the season is a crapshoot.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is officially finished talking about his contract situation. "Respectfully, I'm done talking about it," Jackson said. "I told you guys before, I was going to be done with it Week 1. Week 1 is over with. We're done talking about it. I'm focused on the Dolphins now." The 25-year-old recently turned down a massive six-year, $290 million contract that included $133 million fully guaranteed. He will play in the final year of his rookie deal and look for a contract extension next offseason. The 2019 NFL MVP completed 17-of-30 passes for 213 yards, three touchdowns, and an interception in Sunday's 24-9 win over the Jets. He added 17 yards on six rushing attempts. Despite not receiving a new contract, Jackson is a high-end QB1 against the Miami Dolphins in Week 2.
Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) was a full participant in practice for a second straight day on Thursday. It's a good sign for his prospects of making his 2022 debut in Week 2 against the Miami Dolphins for the first time since 2020. Dobbins missed all of last year after tearing his ACL, so there's still a chance the Ravens ease him back into the fold if he's actually active on Sunday. As a result, he'll be an extremely shaky fantasy play against Miami if he's active, even though he's fully expected to lead this backfield when he's fully healthy. Kenyan Drake was the Ravens' primary ball-carrier in the Week 1 win over the New York Jets, with Justice Hill and Mike Davis also pitching in.

The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec thought Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) looked really good in the early portion of practice open to the media on Wednesday, and he was moving around and cutting well. Dobbins, who missed all of 2021 due to a torn ACL, was inactive in the Week 1 win against the New York Jets and isn't a lock to play in Week 2 against the Miami Dolphins, either. In Dobbins' absence, Kenyan Drake led the backfield by playing 58.9% of the snaps, with Mike Davis playing only 12.5% and Justice Hill playing 19.6%. Dobbins should be rostered in all fantasy leagues, but he's likely to be questionable in Week 2 and could be a game-time decision. If he makes his season debut against Miami, he'll be a shaky RB3/flex play at risk of having his snaps limited as he's eased into the fold.
Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) took a big step forward on Wednesday by being a full participant in practice. Dobbins didn't play in the Week 1 win over the New York Jets after being limited in practice all week. The Ravens aren't going to rush him back coming off a torn ACL before the start of last season, but Dobbins appears to be close to making his 2022 debut. There's still no guarantee the 23-year-old will even play in Week 2 against the Miami Dolphins, and even if he does, he could have his snaps limited in a crowded backfield that also includes Kenyan Drake, Justice Hill and Mike Davis. At best, Dobbins will be a shaky RB3/flex play if he's active this Sunday. He should, however, be stashed in all fantasy leagues.

Kenyan Drake and Mike Davis should split up a majority of the carries in the backfield. Neither player has great fantasy value with this committee approach that Baltimore plans to use. However, Drake could be a possible flex option in a favorable matchup against the Jets.
Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) is officially out for the Week 1 season opener on Sunday against the New York Jets. Tight end Nick Boyle is also sitting in the regular season opener. Dobbins missed all of last year with a torn ACL, but he was trending in the right direction and was limited in practice all this week leading up to Sunday's game. Baltimore won't rush the 23-year-old back, though, and they're expected to use a committee approach with Mike Davis, Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill against the Jets. Dobbins should be considered questionable for Week 2 against the Miami Dolphins, but once he's back to full health, he's expected to be the Ravens primary back. Davis should get the start this Sunday, but fantasy managers relying on Baltimore's backfield in Week 1 could be in for a headache.
Baltimore Ravens tackle Ja'Wuan James suffered a serious ankle injury in Week 1 and is doubtful to return. This is brutal news for a Baltimore offensive line that was already without Ronnie Stanley (ankle). As a result, fantasy managers should expect a slight decrease in production from the Ravens' playmakers, including quarterback Lamar Jackson and running back Mike Davis.
Baltimore Ravens offensive tackle Ja'Wuan James (Achilles) was carted off the field during the Week 1 matchup against the Jets. The team was already without Ronnie Stanley (ankle), who is still recovering from surgery. However, with James tearing his Achilles, the team suffered another tough blow to the unit responsible for protecting Lamar Jackson, a signal-caller who loves to make plays using his legs.

The Baltimore Ravens downgraded left tackle Ronnie Stanley (ankle) from doubtful to out for the Week 1 regular season opener on Sunday against the New York Jets. Stanley put in two limited practices this week, but it wasn't enough for him to gain clearance to play this weekend after coming off season-ending ankle surgery last season. The 28-year-old All-Pro left tackle will be a big loss for the Ravens offensive line for the start of the season, but fantasy managers should still be treating dual-threat quarterback Lamar Jackson as a top-five option at the position against the Jets. With Stanley sidelined, Ja'Juan James is expected to start on Jackson's blind side Sunday.

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (knee) posted on his Instagram page on Wednesday that he's "doing great and I'm very close." Edwards tore his ACL just days prior to the start of the 2021 regular season and was placed on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list a couple weeks ago, ensuring that he'll miss at least the first four weeks of this season. When healthy, the Ravens envision J.K. Dobbins, who is also returning from an ACL tear last year, and Edwards forming a strong one-two punch in the backfield. It's unclear if Dobbins will play in Week 1 against the New York Jets, but the Ravens also have Kenyan Drake and Mike Davis. Edwards is currently rostered in just 12 percent of Yahoo leagues.
Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) is listed as questionable for Week 1 of the regular season against the New York Jets on Sunday, while offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley (ankle) is doubtful to play. Dobbins has been limited in practice this week and has made good progress after missing all of 2021 with a torn ACL. Fantasy managers will know early on Sunday whether the 23-year-old is active, but even if he is, will the Ravens limit his snaps in his first game back in over a year. It's probably likely, especially since they also have Kenyan Drake and Mike Davis capable of pitching in. It all adds up to make Dobbins an extremely risky RB4/flex in deeper leagues against the Jets. The most likely scenarios are that Dobbins is rested entirely or barely plays on Sunday.

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) is ascending quickly in his recovery from a torn ACL that kept him out all last season, and his status for the Week 1 regular season opener against the New York Jets won't be determined until Friday. Dobbins has been limited so far in practice this week, but it remains to be seen if he'll play, or even how much, to kick off the regular season. Considering the Ravens also have Mike Davis and pass-catching back Kenyan Drake to handle backfield touches against the Jets, Dobbins is shaping up as a risky flex play in Week 1. Fantasy managers should expect the 23-year-old to be listed as questionable on Friday when official statuses are released.
Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) was able to get through a limited practice session on Thursday. The organization continues to be cautious with Dobbins who is coming back from an ACL tear. His status for Week 1 is unknown, but regardless he won't be a great option to start the season. The Ravens are likely going to wait until closer to game time before giving a final decision on Dobbins. It sounds like the Ravens plan on using a running back committee to begin the season. That means, Mike Davis, Justice Hill, and Kenyan Drake should all be in the mix. Possibly, Dobbins gets involved as well, but it's tough to trust him until he's back to full strength.

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) was listed as a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Quarterback Lamar Jackson told reporters that Dobbins is very eager to play and is getting better every day. Dobbins, who missed the entire 2021 season after tearing his ACL in the preseason, was taken off the PUP list in early August. He has not yet been ruled out for Week 1, but Jackson also stated that his hope is for Dobbins to return "in a couple weeks", so it seems like an uphill battle for him to suit up this Sunday against the New York Jets. If Dobbins is inactive, fantasy managers should view Mike Davis as a risky flex play in a favorable matchup.

Baltimore Ravens rookie running back Tyler Badie was among the team's many roster cuts on Tuesday. Badie was used heavily in the preseason and training camp with both J.K. Dobbins (knee) and Gus Edwards (knee) sidelined, but he'll be the odd-man out after Baltimore signed Kenyan Drake on Tuesday. If Badie clears waivers, there's a good chance that he'll return to the Ravens practice squad. Dobbins won't have a very large role heading into Week 1 against the New York Jets, leaving Drake and veteran Mike Davis to split the majority of the early season workload in the Ravens backfield. Justice Hill is currently the team's No. 4 back.

The Baltimore Ravens are officially signing free-agent running back Kenyan Drake on Tuesday. Running back Gus Edwards (knee) has already been ruled out for the first four games of the season, and it's unknown if J.K. Dobbins (knee) will be ready for Week 1 against the New York Jets, so the Ravens opted for more backfield depth alongside Mike Davis, Justice Hill and rookie Tyler Badie. Drake was recently released by the Las Vegas Raiders, but he can certainly provide some pass-catching chops alongside Davis until Dobbins and Edwards return. He caught 30 of 40 targets for 291 yards and a touchdown in 12 games in 2021. Fantasy managers thin on RB depth should look to add Drake off the waiver wire, especially if you roster Dobbins.
Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins' (knee) status for Week 1 against the New York Jets is certainly in doubt, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Gus Edwards (knee) is on the Physically Unable to Perform list and will miss at least the first four games of the season as well, which is why the Ravens signed Kenyan Drake on Tuesday. Dobbins tore his ACL before last year and missed all of the 2021 season. Even if he's active for the regular season opener, the 23-year-old isn't expected to have a very big role alongside Drake and veteran Mike Davis. Dobbins was already a shaky low-end RB2 fantasy option in upcoming drafts, and Baltimore's backfield has now become even more muddy. Fantasy managers should consider Dobbins an RB3/flex at this point.

The Baltimore Ravens plan to release safety Tony Jefferson, according to a source. The Ravens drafted Kyle Hamilton in the first round this offseason and also signed former New Orleans Saints standout Marcus Williams, leaving less opportunity for Jefferson, who had a strong preseason with nine tackles in one half in the finale last Saturday against the Washington Commanders. The 30-year-old veteran safety played in only six combined games with the Ravens and San Francisco 49ers last year, recording 18 tackles (nine solo), one sack and one pass defensed. Jefferson will be looking to latch on with another team as veteran defensive back depth before Week 1 arrives.

Baltimore Ravens linebacker Tyus Bowser (Achilles) has been placed on the reserve/PUP list. That means, Bowser will miss the first four weeks of the regular season. The 27-year-old suffered the injury during Week 18 of last season. Head coach John Harbaugh mentioned that Bowser should be ready for training camp, but clearly that didn't happen. This is certainly a blow to the Ravens defensive unit. Last season, Bowser finished with 59 tackles, eight tackles for loss, and seven sacks through 17 games. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect the Ravens defense to fall apart, but losing Bowser does hurt.

Baltimore Ravens All-Pro left tackle Ronnie Stanley (ankle) passed his physical and is coming off the Physically Unable to Perform list on Friday, according to the team. In other Ravens news, linebacker Tyus Bowser (Achilles) was placed on the Reserve/PUP list, which means he'll miss at least the first four games of the regular season. Stanley played only one game last year before needing season-ending ankle surgery. It's great news that he'll be with the team for the start of the regular season, but it remains to be seen if he'll be active in Week 1 against the New York Jets. If Stanley can stay healthy in 2022, it will be great news for quarterback Lamar Jackson and the rest of Baltimore's offense.

Even if Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) suits up for the Week 1 season opener against the New York Jets, which isn't a guarantee at this point, he won't have a full workload. He's been pushing team officials to get back on the field, but the Ravens want to be cautious with their top back. It's too early to predict when Dobbins will get back to double-digit touches in a game. With Gus Edwards (knee) to miss at least the first four games, veteran Mike Davis could get the most carries of anyone in Baltimore's backfield early in the season. Dobbins is still the most attractive fantasy RB the Ravens have, but managers will need to be patient early in the season. Target Dobbins as a low-end RB2 in your upcoming fantasy drafts.

The Baltimore Ravens placed running back Gus Edwards (knee) on the Physically Unable to Perform list on Tuesday, meaning he will miss at least the first four games of the regular season. J.K. Dobbins also tore his ACL last year, but Edwards is behind him in his recovery. With Edwards out at least the first four games, fantasy managers can leave him to the waiver wire to begin the season. The Ravens signed Mike Davis in the offseason to give them insurance for both Edwards and Dobbins, and Davis could be the team's primary ball-carrier in Week 1 against the New York Jets if Dobbins isn't quite yet 100 percent. But make no mistake, Dobbins should be Baltimore's best fantasy back when healthy, making him a low-end RB2 target. The Ravens also have Justice Hill and rookie Tyler Badie in the RB room.
Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that rookie defensive tackle Travis Jones (knee) is dealing with a sprained knee that is expected to sideline him for three to five weeks. Jones suffered the knee injury in the second preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, hyperextending his knee in the fourth quarter. The 22-year-old third-rounder out of the University of Connecticut will certainly miss the start of the regular season, but the Ravens will hope to have him back before long to provide a presence on the interior of their defensive line.

Baltimore Ravens running back Nate McCrary (knee) was injured during Sunday's matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. McCrary, who led the team in rushing versus the Titans, finished with only one carry for nine yards and a catch for seven yards. The 23-year-old has been a consistent contributor for the Ravens during the preseason over the last two seasons. However, he'll be fighting for a spot in a crowded backfield. That said, even if he makes the regular season roster, he isn't expected to contribute much of anything for fantasy managers in any format. Hopefully, a positive update will emerge regarding McCary's health moving ahead. Yet, there is also a chance he may have already played his final game for the birds, at least for this season.
