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.

The Ravens were forced to play most of Week 16 without QB Lamar Jackson, who injured his back in the second quarter. Baltimore RB Derrick Henry did his part, rushing for 128 yards and 2 TDs, but it wasn't enough as the Patriots reeled off 15 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to defeat the Ravens 28-24. Henry's performance was his best showing since opening the season with 169 yard and a pair of TDs against the Bills.

Ravens RB Keaton Mitchell (knee) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. That gives him a chance to play vs. the Bengals this weekend. Mitchell isn't a viable fantasy starter but has been stealing a handful of touches per game from RB Derrick Henry.

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.

The Baltimore Ravens won their fifth consecutive game, but it was far from an impressive showing for the offense. Baltimore only managed 241 total yards against a Jets' defense that entered Week 12 allowing the fourth-most yards. RB Derrick Henry led the Ravens with 64 rushing yards and two TDs in the Ravens' 23-10 win.

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 RB Justice Hill (toe) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Browns. Hill leads Ravens RBs with a 41% route rate and 11.4% target share this season. His absence could mean more passing-game work for RB Derrick Henry, although RB Keaton Mitchell could also pick up some of Hill's work. Consider this a slight upgrade to Henry's Week 11 fantasy outlook.

Derrick Henry rushed 21 times for 71 yards and 2 TDs to help lead the Baltimore Ravens to their second win of the season. The 19.1 PPR poitns that Henry scored on Sunday were his highest output since ran for 169 yards and 2 TDs in Week 1.

Ravens RB Derrick Henry bounced back with a 24-122-0 rushing line and even had a catch in the 17-3 loss to the Rams. The Ravens opted for two Tush Push plays at the one-yard line instead of just handing it off to Henry three times, leading to a missed TD opportunity from him on fourth down. Despite the solid rushing line, Henry only played 48.7% of snaps with the Ravens playing from behind all game.

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 RB Keaton Mitchell carried nine times for 68 yards and a score in Thursday night's preseason game vs. the Colts. He had back-to-back runs of 23 and 22 yards in the first quarter, with the latter going for a TD. Mitchell also returned three kickoffs for 64 yards.

The Baltimore Ravens and RB Derrick Henry have agreed upon a two-year $30 million extension with $25 million guaranteed. The extension keeps Henry under contract for the next three seasons through the end of the 2027 season. Henry ran for 1,921 yards and 16 TDs last season, adding a dynamic element to the Ravens' offense. This locks him in with Lamar Jackson for the foreseeable future. Turning 31-years old in January, Henry will be under contract until he turns 34.

Ravens RB Justice Hill (concussion, illness) is out for Saturday's game vs. the Browns. It's unclear if Hill still hasn't cleared protocol or if the illness is keeping him out. Either way, he has a good chance to be back for Round 1 of the playoffs. Hill's absence this weekend is a boost to RB Derrick Henry's target projection.

Ravens RB Justice Hill (concussion) is out for Wednesday's game vs. the Texans. He leads Baltimore RBs with a 48% route rate and 12% target share this season. Hill's absence should mean more passing-down work for RB Derrick Henry. You were starting him in season-long leagues anyway, but this gives him a little more value in DFS contests.

Ravens RB Derrick Henry had a great game against the Steelers rushing 24 times for 162 yards, but did not find the end zone for the third game in a row. With RB Justice Hill being knocked out of the game with a concussion, Henry even stayed in pass catching situations, catching both of his targets for 27 yards.

Ravens RB Justice Hill was knocked out of Saturday night's game vs. the Steelers with a concussion. It's his first documented head injury, but Hill is a long shot to be cleared in time for Wednesday's game against the Texans. His absence will likely mean more snaps for RBs Rasheen Ali and/or Keaton Mitchell. RB Derrick Henry could also pick up some more passing-down work.
