Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (ankle) remained sidelined for Thursday's practice. He's looking more likely than not to miss this weekend's game vs. the Browns, but we'll update his status again tomorrow. Jackson's absence would again leave QB Tyler Huntley under center. Huntley played fine in the Week 5 win over the Falcons, completing 75% of his passes with 2 TDs and 0 INTs. But he averaged just 6.3 yards per attempt, and the Ravens leaned run with a -2.5% pass rate over expected. We'll likely see another conservative, run-leaning attack if Huntley starts Sunday's game.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (ankle) is out for Sunday night’s game vs. the Falcons. While his injury reportedly isn’t serious, Jackson didn’t seem particularly close to playing in this one. Consider him iffy for Week 6. Jackson’s absence leaves QB Tyler Huntley under center for Baltimore. He posted 186-1-0 and 107-1-0 passing lines in 2 starts last season, totaling just 42 total attempts. Expect a run-heavy attack from the Ravens this week.

Ravens HC Jesse Minter admitted Monday that QB Lamar Jackson is uncertain for Sunday night's game vs. the Falcons after spraining an ankle in the Week 4 win over the Titans. "I don't think it's going to be crazy long-term," Minter added. It doesn't sound like Jackson is facing an extended absence, but fantasy owners should get a backup plan in place for Week 5. Jackson's absence would leave Tyler Huntley under center for Baltimore. He owns a career 67% completion rate but just 5.9 yards per attempt. Huntley played 2 full games last year and posted 186-1-0 and 107-1-0 passing lines. He'd clearly be a big downgrade for WR Zay Flowers and the rest of Baltimore's passing game.

Ravens TE Mark Andrews ranked second on the team Sunday with 6 targets and 5 catches. He went for just 27 yards but snagged one of the team's two TD receptions. Andrews faces a potential playing-time issue, though.

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.
