The Ravens and WR Rashod Bateman agreed to a three-year, $36.75 million contract extension. It tacks onto his current deal to keep him signed with Baltimore through the 2029 season.
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.
The Baltimore Ravens selected Arizona K Tyler Loop with the 186th pick of Round 6 in the NFL Draft. Loop made 18 of 23 FGs for the Arizona Wildcats this past year. He also made 23 of 25 XPs this past season. Loop's big leg makes him a threat to make a FG from way out long. He made a school record 62-yard FG in 2024, which likely got him picked in the draft.
The Baltimore Ravens selected Colorado WR LaJohntay Wester with the 203rd pick of Round 6 in the 2025 NFL Draft. Wester started torching DBs as a sophomore at Florida Atlantic. He led the Owls in all major receiving categories and notched a solid 26% target share. Wester’s production ticked up from 2022-2023 with 169 catches, 1,882 yards, and 16 TDs. He primarily played in the slot. Next came a transfer to Colorado and a chance to play with QB Shedeur Sanders. Wester ranked a clear second behind Travis Hunter in catches (74), yards (931), and TDs (10). He remained a slot target. He had a 4.42 Relative Athletic Score (RAS) based on his predraft testing. He also ranked 23rd among Combine WRs in 2024 Target Share at 19.8%, and 28th among those WRs in PFF Receiving Grade with a 75.6. He is currently 23 years old with a Breakout Age of 19.4. He ranked 40th among WRs in our Draft Sharks predraft Rookie Model scoring a 5.79. Our Comp for him in our Rookie Guide is Josh Downs. Wester moves fluidly in his routes and was a major threat at FAU, but he is simply unlikely to develop into a high-volume target as a pro.
The Ravens stopped the slide of Marshall Edge Mike Green with the 27th pick of Round 2 on Friday night. On the football side, Green looked like a first-rounder. He racked up an FBS-leading 17 sacks in 2024, along with a class-leading 23 tackles for loss. Pro Football Focus graded him the No. 1 edge in all of FBS last year. And he rated even higher as a run defender than a pass rusher. So why didn't he go earlier? Sexual-assault allegations. Green revealed at the Combine that he had one in high school and another in college. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport says the first installed a "zero tolerance" policy for Green at Virginia. The second got him booted from that first college stop. Green Then transferred to Marshall and ultimately had just one starting season. Green denied the allegations. But his treatment by Virginia and now the NFL at least imply skepticism.
The Ravens are signing WR DeAndre Hopkins to a one-year, $6 million deal, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
ESPN’s Jamison Hensley writes that “there’s no question the Ravens would like to retain” LT Ronnie Stanley. However, the 31-year-old (in March) is set to hit free agency after an excellent 2024.
Ravens WR Zay Flowers (knee) is inactive for tonight's game vs. the Bills. He remained sidelined in practice all week and would be uncertain for the AFC Championship if the Ravens win this one. Flowers' absence leaves WR Rashod Bateman and TEs Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely as Baltimore's best target bets.
Ravens WR Zay Flowers (knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game vs. the Bills. He didn't practice all week. HC John Harbaugh said Friday that Flowers has "a chance" to play this weekend, but it's clearly a long shot. Flowers' absence would leave WR Rashod Bateman and TEs Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely as Baltimore's top three targets.
Ravens WR Zay Flowers (knee) remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice. HC John Harbaugh said earlier this week that Flowers could play vs. the Bills on Sunday without practicing. But he seems more likely than not to miss that game at this point. We'll keep you posted on Flowers' status over the next few days.
Ravens HC John Harbaugh said Monday that they're in "we'll see mode" with WR Zay Flowers' status for Sunday's Divisional Round game vs. the Bills. Harbaugh added that Flowers could play without practicing, but it sounds like he's no better than 50/50 to be available for this one. We'll keep you updated on Flowers' status throughout the week. WR Rashod Bateman (78%), TE Mark Andrews (78%), and TE Isaiah Likely (74%) finished top three in route rate for Baltimore in the Wild Card win over the Steelers.
Ravens RB Justice Hill (concussion, illness) is off the final injury report for Saturday's Wild Card Game vs. the Steelers. He should be back in his usual passing-down role behind RB Derrick Henry. Hill averaged 3.2 carries and 3.6 targets in his 14 full games this season.
Ravens WR Zay Flowers (knee) is out for Saturday night's Wild Card game vs. the Steelers. It's a big loss for Baltimore. Flowers led the team in targets (24.3% of the total), receptions (23.3%), and receiving yards (25.3%) during the regular season. His absence this weekend figures to mean more playing time for WRs Nelson Agholor and Tylan Wallace. But we expect Baltimore to go heavy on 2-TE sets with Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely. Those two, plus WR Rashod Bateman, are the team's best target bets.
Ravens WR Zay Flowers (knee) did not practice on Tuesday. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport calls him a "long shot" to play vs. the Steelers on Saturday night. Fantasy players should be working under the assumption that Flowers misses at least Round 1 of the playoffs.
Ravens HC John Harbaugh labeled WR Zay Flowers "day to day" with the knee injury he suffered in Saturday's win over the Browns. "He’ll try to do everything to get back as soon as he can, and we’ll see where that takes us," Harbaugh said, refusing to provide any details on the injury. We're still not expecting Flowers to play vs. the Steelers on Saturday night but will keep you updated on his status. It at least seems like Flowers would have a good chance to be ready for the Divisional Round if Baltimore takes care of business this weekend.
Ravens WR Zay Flowers will "likely" miss next week's Wild Card game with the knee injury he suffered in Saturday's win over the Browns, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "It’s not considered a major injury, though there is a real chance he misses next week," Rapoport writes. "If Baltimore takes care of business, he could be back." Flowers is set for an MRI on Sunday, so we should learn more about his status soon. His absence would create more target opportunity for WR Rashod Bateman and TEs Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely.
Ravens WR Zay Flowers injured his right knee in the second quarter of Saturday's game vs. the Browns. He was initially deemed questionable to return before being ruled out at halftime. We'll look for an update on Flowers' injury and his status for next weekend's playoff opener. WR Rashod Bateman and TE Mark Andrews tied for the team lead with eight targets in the win over Cleveland.
Update: HC John Harbaugh said after the game that Flowers will have an MRI on Sunday and has a "chance" to be ready for the playoffs.
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 TE Isaiah Likely caught just one pass in Wednesday's win over the Texans, but that belied season-high usage. He led the skill-position players by playing 16 of 19 passing downs and running a team-high 15 routes. His 76% snap share marked a season high. Likely's lone catch did go for a 9-yard TD, his second straight game and third among the past four with a score.
Ravens WR Zay Flowers (shoulder) is active for today's game vs. the Texans. He only got in one limited practice on the short week, but Flowers never seemed to be in real danger of missing this one. We're projecting him to play his usual role today.
