Baltimore Ravens Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

The Ravens get a (likely) welcomed bye in Week 7. After that, they expect to get LB Roquan Smith back. Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports that HC John Harbaugh said he expects Smith to play in Week 8. The LB missed the past two games after leaving the Week 4 loss at Kansas City early with his hamstring injury.

Texans QB C.J. Stroud dominated the Ravens' injured defense, completing 23 of 27 passes for 244 yards and 4 TDs. Stroud also had a 30 yard run which provided another nice boost to his fantasy total. WR Nico Collins went 4-52-1 while Xavier Hutchinson caught two TDs.

Ravens S Kyle Hamilton (groin) is inactive for today's game against the Texans. Edge Odafe Oweh (eye) is active and fine for normal IDP use.

The Lamar Jackson injury has garnered understandable headlines in Baltimore this week, but the team might be in even more trouble on defense. The Ravens have ruled LB Roquan Smith, CB Marlon Humphrey, and CB Chidobe Awuzie out for the game. They're already missing DL Nnamdi Madubuike (IR for a neck injury). And some other key defenders look for-real questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans.

The Ravens stopped the slide of Marshall Edge Mike Green with the 27th pick of Round 2 on Friday night. On the football side, Green looked like a first-rounder. He racked up an FBS-leading 17 sacks in 2024, along with a class-leading 23 tackles for loss. Pro Football Focus graded him the No. 1 edge in all of FBS last year. And he rated even higher as a run defender than a pass rusher. So why didn't he go earlier? Sexual-assault allegations. Green revealed at the Combine that he had one in high school and another in college. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport says the first installed a "zero tolerance" policy for Green at Virginia. The second got him booted from that first college stop. Green Then transferred to Marshall and ultimately had just one starting season. Green denied the allegations. But his treatment by Virginia and now the NFL at least imply skepticism.

Ravens LB Roquan Smith is inactive for tonight's game against the Chargers. That leaves Trenton Simpson as the likely lead LB for Baltimore and Malik Harrison elevated to the No. 2 slot. Harrison has officially started 28 games across 4.5 NFL seasons but never posted enviable numbers. He's only an emergency IDP option.

Ravens LB Roquan Smith left Sunday's loss to the Steelers with a hamstring injury. He was ruled out before the end of the game. That doesn't bode well for his Week 12 outlook, but we'll watch for status updates this week.

Ravens S Kyle Hamilton left Thursday night's game in the first half with a right ankle injury and did not return. The team initially deemed him questionable but ruled Hamilton out before the end of the game. He was wearing a boot on the sideline in the second half, but HC John Harbaugh downplayed the severity after the game.

Second-year LB Trenton Simpson looks like he's ready to take over the starting job vacated by Patrick Queen's free-agent departure.

Ravens S Kyle Hamilton (knee) is inactive for today's game against the Steelers. He officially entered the day questionable, but we're betting this is more of a rest day in a meaningless game than a true injury issue. We've had Hamilton out of the DB rankings all week.

The Ravens have ruled CB Marlon Humphrey (calf) out for Saturday's game against the Steelers. They list S Kyle Hamilton (knee), CB Brandon Stephens (ankle), and CB Ronald Darby (illness) as questionable. We've had Humphrey, Hamilton, and Stephens out of the DB rankings all week. Even if Hamilton and/or Stephens plays, there's little reason for Baltimore to keep either starter on the field for usual full-time duty. Darby remains in there because he's a fill-in level DB. If he's active, he'll be OK to use in deeper IDP leagues.

Ravens S Kyle Hamilton (knee) and CB Brandon Stephens (ankle) went inactive for Sunday's win over the Dolphins. CB Marlon Humphrey left the game with a calf injury. Baltimore clinched the AFC's top playoff seed anyway. Given that, it's hard to imagine the Ravens playing any of those defenders for the Week 18 matchup with Pittsburgh. We'll see whether the team reveals any specific plans for who else will play no or limited snaps. Geno Stone and Marcus Williams played full time at safety vs. Miami. Stone figures to play in Week 18. (He's the third safety.) Williams, however, could be another candidate to sit. He has dealt with multiple injuries throughout the season. Ronald Darby (100%) and Rock Ya-Sin (81%) led CBs in playing time vs. the Dolphins.

Ravens S Kyle Hamilton (knee) and CB Brandon Stephens (ankle) are inactive for today's game against the Dolphins. We've moved S Geno Stone up the DB rankings some. That improves the matchup for Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill, who you were already playing anyway. The spot gets a little better for QB Tua Tagovailoa as well, though he remains a risky option and sits just outside the top 12 in our Week 17 QB rankings.
