Ravens TE Mark Andrews is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Cowboys with a hand injury. Stay tuned for an update.

Update: Andrews returned in the third quarter.

Ravens WR Zay Flowers (hamstring) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game vs. the Saints. He returned to a limited practice on Friday, which has us optimistic about his chances of playing Week 3. With rookie Ja'Kobi Lane (wrist) on IR, Baltimore is thin at WR. We're projecting Rashod Bateman and Devontez Walker as the primary outside WRs, with LaJohntay Wester in the slot. We'd avoid the situation in fantasy lineups this week. TE Mark Andrews might be the team's best target bet and is a nice Week 2 starter.

Ravens WR Zay Flowers (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for this weekend’s game vs. the Saints. He got in a limited practice on Friday, which should have him on track to return for Week 3. But it’s a big loss for Baltimore this week. Flowers drew a 28.0% target share last year and hogged 50.0% of targets in the first half of last week’s opener. We’re expecting Rashod Bateman, Devontez Walker, and LaJohntay Wester to operate as the Ravens’ top 3 WRs against New Orleans, but none is a reliable fantasy play. TE Mark Andrews might be the team’s best target bet and is a nice Week 2 starter.

Ravens third-round rookie WR Ja'Kobi Lane has generated regular praise out of his first training camp. But the highest praise came Saturday from longtime Baltimore beat writer Jamison Hensley of ESPN. And it merits a thought exercise with these Ravens.

The Baltimore Ravens selected SMU TE Matthew Hibner in Round 4 of the NFL Draft. Hibner started his career at Michigan, playing primarily special teams, before transferring to SMU. He achieved career highs going 31-436-4 for the Mustangs. Among the 27 TEs invited to the NFL Combine, Hibner ranked third in average depth of target (8.8) and 20th in 2025 yards per route run (1.37). He ranked 18th in 2025 market share of receptions (12.9%) and 12th in market share of receiving yards (18.3%).

The Giants are expected to sign TE Isaiah Likely. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that he's getting a three-year deal worth $40 million, "with upside to $47.5M." Likely spent his first four seasons with the Ravens after arriving as a fourth-round pick in 2022. This is his first shot at free agency.

The Ravens hired Declan Doyle as their new OC. The 29-year-old is the same age as QB Lamar Jackson, three years younger than RB Derrick Henry, and becomes the youngest play-caller in the NFL. Doyle has been in the NFL for the past seven years, working under Sean Payton in New Orleans and Denver before joining Ben Johnson’s staff as OC in Chicago last season. Doyle brings a strong résumé but no play-calling experience at any level, which makes projecting his fantasy impact tricky. We’ll be listening closely for clues on Doyle’s plans this offseason. For now, it’s safe to assume Baltimore’s offense will still run through Jackson and Henry.

The Ravens fired HC John Harbaugh, according to multiple reports. It ends an 18-year run for Harbaugh in Baltimore. The Ravens went 180-113 during his tenure, making the playoffs in 12 of 18 years. But they underwhelmed in the postseason, with a 13-11 record and just one Super Bowl. Baltimore won only three playoff games over the last 11 years and failed to qualify in 2025. There were also whispers of unrest between Harbaugh and QB Lamar Jackson. OC Todd Monken, who has already booked an interview for the Browns' HC job, is a virtual lock to be out of Baltimore too. It'll be a brand new staff for Jackson and Co. in 2026.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (back) is officially inactive for tonight's game vs. the Packers. QB Tyler Huntley gets the start in his place. Huntley's rushing ability makes him a low-end option in superflex leagues, but he's a significant downgrade for the passing game. WR Zay Flowers is the only viable fantasy starter among Ravens pass catchers.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (back) is listed as doubtful for Saturday night's game vs. the Packers. He didn't practice all week and is a long shot to play in this one. Jackson's absence will put QB Tyler Huntley back under center for Baltimore. He threw for 186 yards and a score and ran for 53 yards in a Week 8 start against the Bears, finishing QB16 in fantasy points. He's a viable play in 2-QB and superflex leagues thanks to his rushing ability. But Huntley is a significant downgrade for Baltimore's pass catchers.

Ravens TE Mark Andrews (glute) is not listed on the final Week 15 injury report. He was limited in Thursday’s practice but was back to full participation on Friday. Andrews is ready to go for Sunday’s dream spot against a historically bad Bengals TE defense.

Ravens TE Mark Andrews was added to the injury report and limited in practice on Thursday with a glute issue. We'll see if Andrews practices tomorrow and then how he's listed on the final injury report. He has a dream matchup vs. the Bengals on Sunday. Andrews' absence would turn Isaiah Likely into a top-5 fantasy play.

NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reported that the Baltimore Ravens have agreed to a three-year, $39.3 million extension with Mark Andrews. The deal includes $26 million fully guaranteed and keeps Andrews in Baltimore through 2028.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson had his third awful fantasy performance in a row going 17-32 for 246 yards and no TDs. On the ground, Jackson only ran six times for 27 yards. He threw one INT and lost two more fumbles in the game. It is the first time in Jackson’s career that he has gone three straight games without a passing TD. His previous two contests ended as QB25 and QB29. He certainly won’t reach the top 24 QBs this week either.

Ravens TE Isaiah Likely (calf) did not practice on Wednesday. We don't have any additional info on the calf injury. We'll see if Likely gets back on the field tomorrow. His absence vs. the Jets this weekend would be a slight boost to TE Mark Andrews' fantasy value.

The forecast for today's Ravens-Browns game calls for sustained winds around 25 mph with gusts between 30-35 mph. That figures to impact play-calling, as well as deep throws and longer kicks. Hopefully you weren't relying too heavily on Cleveland's passing game here, although TEs Harold Fannin and David Njoku could be ok as short-range targets. We're downgrading Baltimore's passing game, but QB Lamar Jackson, WR Zay Flowers, and TE Mark Andrews remain fine fantasy starts. Avoid the kickers in this game. The over/under has dropped from 39.5 on Thursday to 38.5.

Ravens TE Mark Andrews caught the team's only TD pass in Sunday's win over the Vikings. That was one of his 3 receptions for a mere 14 yards among five targets on a difficult passing day for Baltimore. Andrews matched TE Isaiah Likely at five targets. Likely caught two of his for 17 yards.

Ravens TE Mark Andrews was on the receiving end of the first two of QB Lamar Jackson's four TDs in Thursday night's win over the Dolphins. Andrews found a hole in Miami's defense in the back of the end zone to haul in a two-yard score on fourth-and-goal in the first quarter. Then he took advantage of two Miami defenders running into each other to work open for a 20-yard TD in the second quarter. Those were Andrews' only two catches of the night, with his third and final target falling incomplete in the second quarter.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (hamstring) will "likely" miss Sunday's game vs. the Texans and could be sidelined for 2-3 weeks, according to The Baltimore Sun's Brian Wacker. The Ravens have a Week 7 bye, so Week 8 has felt like a realistic return target for Jackson since he went down. We'll keep you updated on his status, but fantasy managers need to be making other plans for the next couple of weeks. Jackson's absence would leave QB Cooper Rush under center for games against Houston and the Rams. Rush has made 14 career starts -- all for the Cowboys -- and sports a 60.9% completion rate at 6.3 yards per attempt.

Ravens TE Isaiah Likely (foot) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Chiefs. He practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday, so we’re expecting him to play. Likely can’t be trusted in fantasy lineups in his 2025 debut, but he does add some downside to TE Mark Andrews’ outlook.
