Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (illness) did not participate in practice on Friday, July 26, due to illness. Jackson missed the first three training camp practices due to an illness and left practice early upon returning to work on Wednesday.
Huddle Up: Jackson has a habit of missing early practices due to illness. While it is concerning that he is out of practice due to illness so soon after coming back from one, he should be back soon enough. The reigning league MVP may have the best supporting cast of his career in 2024, as Derrick Henry figures to take most of the pressure off him to carry the offense as a runner, while Mark Andrews, Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman give him plenty to work with as a passer. Jackson should be considered an elite QB1 option yet again.

Baltimore Ravens RB Derrick Henry is attempting to become just the fourth running back in the past decade to rush for 1,000 yards in the NFL at the age of 30 or older, joining retired RBs Adrian Peterson and Frank Gore, and current Miami Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert.
Huddle Up: The Ravens certainly paid Henry like they expect him to contribute that kind of yardage, and he rushed for 1,167 yards last season in a lesser offense. Even at age 30 and with a lot of mileage, Henry remains a solid RB2 with top-10 upside.

Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (illness) did not participate in practice Monday, July 22.
Huddle Up: The Ravens will take their time with Jackson, so he may not return to the field for the next few days. He should be fine for the regular season and will be a weekly starting option in fantasy leagues.

Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (illness) was sent home from practice due to an illness, the team announced Sunday, July 21.
Huddle Up: Unless this unexpectedly turns into a long-term issue, managers shouldn't be worried about Jackson's prospects for the season. He's a top-tier QB1 option in all formats.

Baltimore Ravens TE Mark Andrews (ankle) said he fells "100 percent" healthy from the ankle injury he suffered during the 2023 regular season, he told reporters Saturday, July 20.
Huddle Up: Andrews returned for the AFC Championship game so it's not a surprise he's fully healthy at training camp. The veteran has a chance to be the TE1 overall for fantasy as long as he stays healthy.

Baltimore Ravens WR Rashod Bateman is the "clear No. 2 receiver" behind Zay Flowers, according to sources Monday, July 15.
Huddle Up: The embattled former first-round pick faces an uphill battle as likely the third overall target in the Ravens system. His draft pedigree suggests he may be talented but managers should proceed with caution before buying in fully. Consider Bateman a WR4 type until he proves to have a solid target share.

Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson probably will not receive more carries this season even though he dropped some weight during the offseason, in the opinion of BaltimoreRavens.com's Ryan Mink. Jackson averaged 9.25 rushing attempts last season.
Huddle Up: Jackson likely will try to be more elusive this season, so he could pick up more rushing yards this season without more attempts. He is still one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL and should be a weekly starting option in all leagues.

Baltimore Ravens TE Isaiah Likely caught 30 of his 40 targets for 411 yards and five touchdowns in 2023. The resulting 147.0 passer rating on targets in his direction was the highest of any qualified pass-catcher in the league last season, according to Pro Football Reference.
Huddle Up: It turns out that catching 75% of your targets and scoring a touchdown once every six catches is a good thing. Likely's role entering the 2024 season is a bit uncertain given how committed the team is to Mark Andrews, Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman being the primary pass-catchers, but there is a strong case that can be made for Likely to see the most work in the slot. He is one of the few backup tight ends who are worth stashing since he would become a strong TE1 option yet again if Andrews misses more time.
Posted 7/02/2024 9:13 pm GMT
Baltimore Ravens WR Rashod Bateman has shown great route running and ball skills during practices and should have a very productive season in 2024, according to TE Mark Andrews.
Huddle Up: Bateman should be a top three receiver for the Ravens and likely will see a decent amount of targets each game. He can be drafted in a majority of leagues but will not be a starting option most weeks.

Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson could earn more pre-snap responsibilities in his second year under offensive coordinator Todd Monken, according to recent comments from quarterbacks coach Tee Martin.
"It takes him understanding how we're blocking things up front to get us to the best run and the best pass for whatever coverage we're facing. He's accepted it and done a heck of a job of getting us into the right play, and today was probably the best day in a long time of him really just having the freedom to do what he wants to do. We saw some really good plays and some positive gains with him doing that today," Martin said.
Huddle Up: Jackson reportedly dropped 20 pounds this offseason and appears to be taking on more of a leadership role than he ever has in 2024. The addition of Derrick Henry - combined with what should be a more explosive Jackson than we have seen in recent years - could set up the two-time NFL MVP for another career year. Jackson should be considered a strong overall QB1 candidate this season.

Baltimore Ravens RB Derrick Henry is viewed as a "closer" by offensive coordinator Todd Monken, who said that if Henry "carries it 300 times" in 2024, then the team would be "having a helluva year." He also noted the importance of keeping Henry healthy over the course of the season.
Huddle Up: At 30 years of age and with 2,000-plus carries on his odometer, Henry is a bit of a risk, no matter what role Monken envisions for the veteran. He's a nonfactor in the passing game, and with the Ravens hoping to play into late January at least, they might choose to save some of Henry's bullets for a postseason run. Still, he's worthy of consideration as a possible high-end RB2.

Baltimore Ravens WR Rashod Bateman has shown improvement this offseason and should be more involved in the passing game this upcoming season, according to offensive coordinator Todd Monken.
Huddle Up: Bateman will be a top three receiver for the Ravens and should see a decent amount of targets each game. He can be selected in fantasy leagues but probably will not be a starting option most weeks.

Baltimore Ravens RB Keaton Mitchell (knee) is "on schedule" in his rehab from a torn anterior cruciate ligament but will not be ready by training camp and isn't expected to return to action until "sometime during the season," head coach John Harbaugh said on Wednesday, May 22.
Huddle Up: When healthy in 2023, Mitchell proved to be an explosive weapon out of the backfield and was nearly a top-25 RB in PPR from Weeks 9 through 15, despite not seeing more than nine carries or two receptions in any game. Mitchell's tear was a full one, and with it occurring late in the season, it's no surprise that he won't be ready for the start of 2024. He'll be someone to monitor as the season progresses, as he could provide a boost to running back-needy owners during the season. However, Derrick Henry will dominate touches out of the backfield, so Mitchell may not see a ton of work upon his return.
Posted 5/08/2024 7:27 pm GMT
Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson said he currently weighs 205 pounds after playing the 2023 season at 215 pounds.
Huddle Up: Jackson is still one of the better quarterbacks in the NFL when healthy and will be a No. 1 quarterback in fantasy leagues this upcoming season.
Posted 5/03/2024 1:54 am GMT
Baltimore Ravens WR Zay Flowers recorded five touchdowns in the final five games of the regular season after managing just one touchdown in his first 11 games.
Huddle Up: Flowers established himself as a reliable target as a rookie, and he looks poised to finally provide Lamar Jackson with a go-to option at wide receiver. He should be in the WR3 mix.
Posted 4/27/2024 4:49 pm GMT
North Carolina WR Devontez Walker was selected by the Baltimore Ravens with the 113th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Huddle Up: Walker may have the chance to compete for the No. 3 receiver job with the Ravens, so fantasy players should monitor his status during training camp. He can be a late round pick in fantasy drafts that may be a starting option against favorable matchups depending on his progress.
Posted 4/24/2024 5:35 pm GMT
The Baltimore Ravens and WR Rashod Bateman agreed to a contract extension through the 2026 season, the team announced on Wednesday, April 24. The financial terms weren't disclosed.
Huddle Up: This is a surprising one considering Bateman has been woefully disappointing over his first three seasons in the NFL. Not only has he battled injury, Bateman also hasn't been productive when on the field. He'll be a late-round dart throw in re-draft leagues in 2024.
Posted 4/02/2024 2:58 pm GMT
Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson may have fewer rushing attempts with RB Derrick Henry on the team as the Ravens plan to use fewer run-pass option plays. "I don't see us going towards like [a] specific offense that runs those more than anybody else," head coach John Harbaugh said. "RPOs will be a part of what we're doing, for sure, but they're not going to be the main part of what we're doing."
Huddle Up: Jackson losing rushing luster will hinder his fantasy prowess, but in trade, it'll keep him healthier. He'll be an upper-middle option either way.
Posted 3/14/2024 4:04 pm GMT
Baltimore Ravens RB Keaton Mitchell (knee) has chance to return during the 2024 season, according to general manager Eric DeCosta on Thursday, March 14. Mitchell tore his ACL in December.
Huddle Up: With Derrick Henry leading the backfield, Mitchell's upside is likely capped as a change-of-pace back. That, coupled with the injury, makes him a player to avoid until we get a firmer timeline for his return.

Impending free-agent RB Derrick Henry (Titans) reportedly agreed to terms on a two-year contract worth $16 million - including $9 million guaranteed in the first year - with the Baltimore Ravens on Tuesday, March 12. The deal reportedly involves incentives that could allow Henry to earn a maximum of $20 million.
Huddle Up: The Ravens are taking a slight risk by rolling the dice on a 30-year-old back, but Henry is not your typical running back in any way, shape or form. In Baltimore, Henry joins one of the few offenses in the league that will not hesitate to run the ball 30-plus times per game. While it is likely someone like Keaton Mitchell (knee) will steal passing-down work from him, Henry will be a strong candidate to push for 300-plus touches yet again in 2024 should his body hold up. The former Tennessee Titan should remain a solid RB1 option in fantasy as a player capable of exceeding 1,500 total yards and 10 touchdowns.
Posted 3/08/2024 11:49 pm GMT
Tennessee Titans impending free-agent RB Derrick Henry is considered unlikely to re-sign with the Titans this offseason but there is a small chance of the two sides reaching a deal, according to sources.
Huddle Up: Henry should receive interest from multiple teams if he hits the free-agent market. He will start no matter where he signs and probably will be a weekly starting option in all fantasy leagues.
Posted 2/27/2024 6:16 pm GMT
Baltimore Ravens WR Rashod Bateman is "going to take a big step" and see the ball "a lot more" in 2024, according to head coach John Harbaugh.
Huddle Up: Bateman's first three seasons with the club have been largely disappointing after a strong start in his rookie year (2021). Injuries have been a major factor in his slow development, although he did stay healthy for the most part in 2023. Perhaps another healthy season and the possible departure of Odell Beckham Jr. will give Bateman enough opportunities to eclipse the 50-catch mark for the first time in 2024.
Posted 2/09/2024 4:31 pm GMT
Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson was named the NFL's most valuable player Friday, Feb. 9.
Huddle Up: It's his second MVP, but he was actually fourth at the position in fantasy. He sat out of the final game of the season, but he was more than 80 points behind QB1 Josh Allen. That is probably around Jackson's ceiling. So look for him around the upper-middle portion of the position in drafts next year.
Posted 2/04/2024 9:59 pm GMT
Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson will be more involved in developing the offensive scheme moving forward, according to head coach John Harbaugh.
Huddle Up: The Ravens had one of the top offenses in the NFL this past season, so Jackson's fantasy value should improve if he is more involved in the offense. He should be a No. 1 quarterback in all fantasy leagues next season.
Posted 1/29/2024 2:20 am GMT
Baltimore Ravens WR Rashod Bateman managed just a single 2-yard reception on three targets in the AFC Championship Game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Huddle Up: Bateman played in 16 regular-season games, but he managed just 56 receptions for 367 yards and one touchdown, and he has 1,167 receiving yards across 35 NFL regular-season games. While he isn't necessarily a bust, he hasn't come close to posting numbers anywhere close to a first-round player. Zay Flowers has blown past him for WR1 duties in Charm City. Heading into 2024, it wouldn't be surprising to see him go undrafted in most fantasy leagues.
Posted 1/29/2024 2:17 am GMT
Baltimore Ravens TE Mark Andrews (ankle) was able to play in the AFC Championship Game against the Kansas City Chiefs, and he recorded two receptions for 15 yards on his two targets.
Huddle Up: While Andrews didn't do much for anybody taking a chance on him in postseason fantasy leagues or DFS play, fantasy managers were glad to see him make an appearance. He should once again be a TE1 in all fantasy leagues in 2024.
Posted 1/26/2024 10:07 pm GMT
Baltimore Ravens TE Mark Andrews (ankle) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 26, and is not on the injury report for the AFC Championship game.
Huddle Up: Andrews is on track to play for the first time since mid-November and should regain his important role in the passing game this week. He should be a starting option in fantasy leagues.
Posted 1/26/2024 5:18 pm GMT
Baltimore Ravens TE Mark Andrews (ankle) was activated from the Reserve/Injured list Friday, Jan. 26.
Huddle Up: Andrews makes his return for a crucial playoff game and should be started in all fantasy playoff formats.
