Ravens GM Eric DeCosta said after drafting WR Elijah Sarratt that the team believes he can play both outside and in the slot. "We think he’s really, really good inside," DeCosta added. Sarratt spent most of his time in college on the outside, but there are reasons to believe that the slot might be a better fit.

The Ravens had planned to have former Vanderbilt QB Diego Pavia try out this weekend, but that plan changed Tuesday. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the team has instead signed Pavia to a three-year deal. That contract's unlikely to actually lock Pavia in with Baltimore for the next three years and probably won't even guarantee that he sticks around for this season. (Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team points out that "all undrafted free agent contracts are 3-year deals.") But the change likely indicates that the QB had other interested suitors.

The Baltimore Ravens selected Clemson RB Adam Randall in Round 5 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Randall played WR until 2024 but switched to full-time RB late that season. In 2025, he led Clemson with 814 rushing yards and 10 TDs, commanding a 65.1% carry share and earning clear trust from the coaching staff. At 6’2, 235 pounds, Randall brings rare size for a converted receiver. That background shows up in the passing game, where he snagged 36 passes for 254 yards. Among the 20 RBs invited to the NFL Combine, Randall ranked fifth in 2025 rushing market share (49.5%), and 13th in yards after contact per attempt (3.13). He ranked 15th in 2025 missed tackles forced per attempt (0.19) and 11th in receiving yards per route run (0.91). He is currently 21 years old.

The Baltimore Ravens selected Alabama TE Josh Cuevas in Round 5 of the NFL Draft. The Ravens took Cuevas after selecting TE Matthew Hibner in Round 4. Cuevas flashed a bit as a receiver with 37 catches for 411 yards and 4 TDs. He also offers enough blocking upside to compete with Hibner for the No. 2 spot on the Ravens. Among the 27 TEs who attended the NFL Combine, Cuevas ranked 13th in team market share of of receptions (15.4%) and 14th in team market share of receiving yards (14.0%). He ranked 15th in yards per team pass attempt (1.15) and 22nd in yards per route run (1.25).

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 Baltimore Ravens selected Indiana WR Elijah Sarratt in Round 4 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Sarratt followed FCS Freshman All-America honors in 2022 with a jump to James Madison. He ranked 11th nationally in receiving yards under HC Curt Cignetti and then followed his coach to Indiana. Sarratt led the team with 53 catches, 957 yards, and 8 TDs in 2024 before leading the nation in receiving scores in his final season. At 6’2 and 209 pounds, Sarratt wins with body control, strength, and timing. He consistently creates late separation, uses his frame to shield defenders, and highpoints the football as well as anyone in this class. He’s not a burner and will need a more diverse route tree, but his ball skills and red-zone dominance project cleanly.

The Baltimore Ravens selected USC WR Ja’Kobi Lane with the 80th overall pick in Round 3 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Lane logged just 76 snaps as a true freshman. He then broke out in 2024, ranking fifth nationally in TD catches (12). Lane punctuated that season with a 7-127-3 eruption in the Las Vegas Bowl. A shoulder injury disrupted his 2025, but the efficiency remained. Lane posted a career-best 4.8 yards after catch per reception and averaged 2.42 yards per route. He plays to his 6'4 size, using his frame to box out defenders and consistently win 50-50 balls. On the negative side, concentration drops pop up on tape. His top-end speed is also average, while USC’s offense didn’t demand a full route tree.

Missouri Edge Zion Young landed with the Ravens in Round 2 of the NFL Draft. Young finished his college career with two seasons at Mizzou, posting career bests in sacks (6.5) and tackles for loss (16.5) as a senior. That followed two years at Michigan State. Young got the most snaps per game of his career with the 2023 Spartans but put forth weak production: 26 total tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, and 1.5 sacks.

The Ravens on Thursday exercised the fifth-year option on WR Zay Flowers. That keeps Flowers under contract through 2027, at a rate of $28 million for that season.

Ravens DL Nnamdi Madubuike had neck surgery last week and is expected to be ready to play this season, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The Ravens have agreed to a four-year deal with Edge Trey Hendrickson. It carries a base value of $112 million, according to multiple reports, with a max of $120 million with incentives. The pact includes $60 million in guarantees, which basically positions it as a two-year deal with options beyond that. The announcement, of course, came quickly after news broke that Baltimore had backed out of the Maxx Crosby trade over medical concerns.

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 are hiring Jesse Minter as their next head coach, according to multiple reports. Minter spent the past two years as Chargers DC after moving there from Michigan with HC Jim Harbaugh. He spent 2021 as DC at Vanderbilt after four years on John Harbaugh's defensive staff in Baltimore: three as an assistant and one as DBs coach.

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 WR Rashod Bateman (illness) has been downgraded to out for Sunday night's game vs. the Steelers. Bateman has been a non-factor for most of the season, with just two games of 25+ receiving yards. His absence figures to leave DeAndre Hopkins as Baltimore's No. 2 WR, but he's only in play in one-game daily contests.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (back) is off the final injury report for Sunday night’s game vs. the Steelers. He put in a full week of practice for the first time since Week 10. Although it’s tough to imagine that Jackson is at 100%, he’ll be going all out in this must-win game. See where Jackson lands in the Week 18 QB rankings.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (back) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. “He looked good,” HC John Harbaugh said afterward. Jackson is on track to play in Sunday night's must-win game vs. the Steelers, although it's still fair to question how close he'll be to 100%. We'll keep tabs on his status over the next few days.

Ravens HC John Harbaugh said Monday that QB Lamar Jackson's status for this weekend's game vs. the Steelers is "to be determined." Harbaugh added that he expects to have a better idea by Wednesday. We'd be surprised if Jackson didn't suit up for this must-win game, but it's safe to assume that he still won't be at 100%. We'll keep you updated on his progress throughout the week.

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.
