Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (illness) is not listed on the final Week 14 injury report. He missed Thursday’s practice but was a full-go on Friday. Consider Jackson’s fantasy outlook for this weekend’s game vs. the Rams unaffected.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson missed Thursday's practice with an illness. This is unlikely to keep him out of this weekend's game vs. the Rams, but Jackson's status is worth checking back on tomorrow afternoon.

Ravens WR Odell Beckham is not listed on the Week 14 injury report. That's notable after he played just 32% of Baltimore's offensive snaps back in Week 12 -- presumably because of a shoulder injury. He's evidently much healthier coming off the bye week and figures to see a boost in playing time vs. the Rams on Sunday. Consider Beckham a WR4 with upside for that one.

Ravens DL Justin Madubuike entered the league concussion protocol after Sunday night's win over the Chargers. Fortunately for his return timeline, Baltimore gets a Week 13 bye. We'll watch Madubuike's status heading into a Week 14 home date with the Rams. Most players have made it back after missing a single game this season.

Sunday night saw an interesting shift occur in the Ravens’ backfield. Rookie RB Keaton Mitchell led the team with 64 rushing yards on 9 carries in Week 12 vs. the Chargers. Mitchell also roped in 2 catches for 25 yards as a pass-catcher. His teammate Gus Edwards wasn’t too far behind in the box score (8 carries, 26 yards), but the veteran appeared on 26.7% of Baltimore’s offensive snaps. By contrast, Mitchell saw a season-high 46.4% snap rate and played on 59.5% of the Ravens’ early downs. Has Mitchell become the Ravens’ RB1? It’s tough to say as of now, and they are set to go on bye in Week 13. Still, this’ll be a situation worth monitoring approaching the fantasy playoffs.

Ravens WR Odell Beckham (shoulder) is active for tonight's game vs. the Chargers. Beckham was listed as a full participant in Friday’s practice but admitted afterward that he’ll be playing through pain tonight. There’s also likely re-injury risk if he takes a shot or lands hard on that injured shoulder. Consider Beckham a risk/reward WR4 at less than 100% in this plus matchup.

Ravens WR Zay Flowers (hip) is active for tonight’s game vs. the Chargers. He was sidelined on Thursday but returned to a full practice on Friday and told reporters that he’d play in this one. Flowers seems safe to get into fantasy lineups against the Chargers’ 29th-ranked WR defense.

Ravens WRs Zay Flowers (hip) and Odell Beckham (shoulder) are expected to play vs. the Chargers tonight. Both guys were full participants in Friday's practice. Flowers expressed no concern about the hip on Friday and seems safe to get into Week 12 fantasy lineups. Beckham, on the other hand, admitted that he'll be playing through pain. There's likely re-injury risk if he takes a hit or lands hard on that injured shoulder.

Ravens WR Rashod Bateman (foot) is not listed on the final Week 12 injury report. He tweaked his foot on Wednesday but put in full practices on Thursday and Friday. Bateman will play vs. the Chargers on Sunday night. But, assuming WRs Zay Flowers and Odell Beckham suit up, Bateman isn’t a viable fantasy option.

Ravens WR Zay Flowers (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday night’s game vs. the Chargers. He returned to a full practice on Friday after being sidelined on Thursday and told reporters that he’ll play. We’ll look for further updates on Flowers’ status, but he can stay penciled into Week 12 fantasy lineups for now. The matchup is awesome against the Chargers’ 29th-ranked WR defense.

Ravens WR Odell Beckham (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game vs. the Chargers. He said Friday that he'll be a game-time decision and will be playing through pain if he does suit up. But Beckham was listed as a full participant in Friday's practice, so we're expecting him to play. He'd be a risk/reward fantasy start against the league’s 29th-ranked WR defense.

Ravens WR Odell Beckham (shoulder) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. We'll see what he does in Friday's practice and how he's listed on the final injury report for Sunday night's game vs. the Chargers. Baltimore's WR corps is in flux with Zay Flowers dealing with a hip injury.

Ravens WR Zay Flowers (hip) went from a limited practice on Wednesday to no practice on Thursday. It looks like he hurt his hip on Wednesday and is in danger of missing Sunday night's game vs. the Chargers. We'll see if Flowers is able to practice tomorrow and how he's listed on the final injury report.

Ravens WR Odell Beckham (shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday. His injury reportedly isn't a long-term deal, but Beckham isn't a lock to play vs. the Chargers on Sunday night. We'll keep you updated on his status over the next few days.

Ravens WR Rashod Bateman left Wednesday's practice with a foot injury. But HC John Harbaugh said afterward the wideout "should be fine," according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. This is a particular worrisome situation, however, for a guy who lost most of 2022 to a foot injury that continued to inhibit him through this past summer. We don't yet know if it's the same foot or a related issue. Of course, Bateman's latest ailment could deliver little to no fantasy impact because he's averaging just 2.0 receptions per game this season.

Ravens TE Mark Andrews will undergo surgery on Tuesday to repair his injured ankle, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports. "Andrews is likely out for the year, though as John Harbaugh said, there’s a chance he could return if Baltimore makes a deep playoff run," Garafolo adds. Andrews can be dropped from all redraft rosters.

Ravens HC John Harbaugh said Monday that WR Odell Beckham's shoulder injury is not a long-term deal. Harbaugh didn't say, though, whether Beckham will be available for Sunday night's game vs. the Chargers. Baltimore could certainly use him with TE Mark Andrews sidelined. We'll track Beckham's practice participation throughout the week. He's worth adding off the waiver wire in fantasy leagues of 12+ teams.

Ravens HC John Harbaugh said Monday that TE Mark Andrews' ankle injury wasn't as bad as initially feared, according to Luke Jones of WNST in Baltimore. "There might be an outside chance he could get back at some point in time," the coach added. Andrews reportedly still needs to meet with a foot specialist to learn more about his recovery timeline. NFL Network's Mike Garafolo says "it would have to be a deep playoff run" to give Andrews a chance to return. Dropping Andrews this week in your redraft league -- unfortunately -- looks like the right move.

Ravens TE Mark Andrews has been diagnosed with a cracked fibula and an ankle ligament injury, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "It’s still believed to be a long-term injury," Rapoport adds, but the team will get another opinion from Dr. Robert Anderson in Charlotte next week. It sounds like Andrews at least has some chance to play again this season -- although that chance is likely slim. He's worth hanging on to in fantasy football at least until we get more information on his status next week.

Ravens HC John Harbaugh says TE Mark Andrews' ankle injury against the Bengals appears likely to end his season, according to multiple reports. That would obviously be a huge loss for the Baltimore offense. Andrews accounted for 23.5% of the team's receiving yards this season entering Thursday night -- despite missing the season's first game. He also leads the team in receiving yards per game and sports the highest receiving success rate among Ravens with at least 10 receptions. TE Isaiah Likely dominated playing time at the position after Andrews left. His 29 routes against the Bengals ranked second on the team, according to Pro Football Focus, trailing only WR Zay Flowers. Likely drew just 2 targets, though, and finished with 0 receptions. He'll be worth some waiver-wire attention ahead of Week 12. But don't count on Likely stepping in for starter-level fantasy production. WR Odell Beckham enjoyed arguably his best performance as a Raven. He led the team with 7 targets and 4 receptions, delivering 116 yards. It was Beckham's largest yardage total since Week 2 of 2019. Unfortunately, he also suffered a shoulder injury in the fourth quarter. We'll see about the severity of that injury heading into Week 12, with Baltimore's bye to follow. Losing Andrews hurts QB Lamar Jackson, but he gets the league's best QB-scoring matchup vs. the Chargers in Week 12. So we might need to wait until after the Week 13 bye to actually see the negative impact.
