Baltimore Ravens

Devontez Walker

WR

Walker logged limited sessions throughout Week 1 as he attempted to clear himself of a groin injury before Sunday's game. While the wide receiver could not avoid an injury designation, Walker still may suit up for Sunday's contest if coach Jesse Minter gives the green light. If Walker is ruled out, Elijah Sarratt will take over as the No. 4 option behind Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman and Ja'Kobi Lane.

Teddye Buchanan

LB

Buchanan logged three limited sessions in Week 1 but will ultimately fall short of a green light to play. The linebacker is still recovering from the ACL tear he suffered in Week 12 of the 2025 season. The Ravens are taking it very slowly with the starter, ensuring they mitigate all risk of further injury before Buchanan gets back on the field. With Buchanan out, Jay Higgins or Trenton Simpson will likely assume starting duties next to Roquan Smith.

Nnamdi Madubuike

DT

Madubuike logged a limited practice session all three days this week. The defensive tackle is close to returning from a severe neck injury he suffered last September but will need to be fully cleared before he can return to the field. With the 28-year-old unable to suit up, Aeneas Peebles will likely draw the start at tackle next to Travis Jones and Calais Campbell on Sunday.

Zay Flowers

WR

Flowers was listed as a limited participant Wednesday but upgraded to all activity Thursday, putting him on track to play in Sunday's season opener against the Colts. After leading the Ravens with 1,211 receiving yards last season, Flowers is set to reprise his role as Lamar Jackson's top target under new offensive coordinator Declan Doyle.

Aeneas Peebles

DT

Peebles dealt with a persistent undisclosed issue throughout training camp. The defensive tackle has cleared himself of the injury just in time for the beginning of the regular season and should be all set to suit up for Sunday's Week 1 game against the Colts.

Jay Higgins IV

LB

Higgins suffered a concussion in the Ravens' Aug. 15 preseason contest against the Eagles. The linebacker fully progressed through the NFL's five-step concussion protocol and has been cleared by an independent neurologist. Higgins is now all set to suit up for Sunday's Week 1 contest with the Colts.

Bilhal Kone

CB

ir

Jovaughn Gwyn

G

The 2023 Falcons' seventh-rounder was drafted as a rotational guard/center and saw action in just two regular-season games over his first two seasons before appearing in all 17 with Atlanta in 2025. With Tyler Linderbaum having signed with the Raiders in free agency and projected replacement Danny Pinter lost for the season due to an Aug. 19 torn patella tendon, Gwyn beat out Ethan Pocic for the starting role to open the season.

Joe Fagnano

QB

Baltimore doesn't typically carry three QBs on the roster, but Fagnano essentially forced his way onto the club with a standout preseason. During exhibition play, he completed 74.7 percent of his 75 pass attempts for a league-high 509 yards with three touchdowns and one interception. Fagnano isn't likely to threaten for playing time unless there are injuries ahead of him on the depth chart, however, as Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley are firmly in place as the Ravens' top two QBs.

Mark Andrews

TE

Unlike previous years, when he had Isaiah Likely breathing down his neck, Andrews isn't projected to have much competition for targets at his position. Smythe is a blocking specialist who has averaged fewer than 10 receiving yards per game in his career, while Hibner and Cuevas are rookie Day 3 draft picks. Andrews will be 31 years old when the 2026 regular season kicks off, and he averaged a career-low 24.8 receiving yards per game in 2025, so age-related decline seems to be his biggest concern from a fantasy standpoint.

Derrick Henry

RB

Though Keaton Mitchell is now with the Chargers after the Ravens non-tendered him back in the spring, Henry will be supported by a pair of familiar sidekicks. Ali is expected to serve as the Ravens' primary kickoff returner and will see most of his snaps on special teams, while Hill returns to his usual role as the top change-of-pace option. Rookie fifth-round pick Adam Randall (undisclosed) could also factor into the equation at some point this season, though not until at least Week 5 after the Ravens placed him on injured reserve. The makeup of the backfield once again points to the 32-year-old Henry handling a workhorse role in 2026, after he averaged 19.6 touches and exactly one touchdown per game over the prior two seasons.

Lamar Jackson

QB

Hamstring and back injuries forced Jackson to miss four games last season and sapped his rushing ability even when he was active. This led to Jackson posting career lows in rushing attempts (67) and yards (349). Jackson is now fully healthy going into 2026, his first season operating Declan Doyle's offense. The Ravens open the season on the road in Indianapolis on Sept. 13.

Tyler Loop

PK

Loop missed a pair of field-goal attempts in the Ravens' preseason finale and has struggled during his short career on kicks from distance, as he made just one of four field goals from 50-plus yards during the 2025 regular season. He figures to have a short leash after his Week 18 miss last season sent the Steelers to the playoffs over the Ravens. Whoever kicks for the Ravens will have plenty of fantasy appeal in what should be one of the league's top offenses.

Adam Randall

RB

Randall played in two of the team's three preseason contests, turning 17 carries into 71 yards and a score while also catching four of six targets for 47 yards. The running back missed the second game of the preseason with an undisclosed injury, and it's possible that he aggravated the previous injury in Baltimore's preseason finale against the Commanders on Friday. Randall will now be force to sit out at least four contests to begin the year while on IR, so the earliest he'll be able to make his NFL regular-season debut will be Oct. 11 in Atlanta. In his absence, Rasheen Ali is expected to operate as the Ravens' No. 3 option in the backfield behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill to begin the 2026 campaign.

Elijah Sarratt

WR

The 2026 fourth-round pick made a splash in the Ravens' preseason opener, but Sarratt managed just two catches for four yards in the final two exhibition games. Third-round rookie Ja'Kobi Lane has been the star of training camp and seems to have the No. 3 wideout job locked down, leaving Sarratt competing with the likes of Devontez Walker, Chris Moore and LaJohntay Wester just to find a spot on the 53-man roster.

Rasheen Ali

RB

The third-year running back got the start in the preseason finale with the Ravens resting their key personnel and led the team in touches on the night, although he didn't make much of an impact. Ali appears set to open the regular season as the third option in the backfield behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill, with his main competition being rookie fifth-round pick Adam Randall, who is still learning the nuances of the RB position after mainly playing wide receiver in college before making the switch on a full-time basis in his draft year.

Tyler Huntley

QB

The veteran backup QB was under center for only one possession, but Huntley set the tone for the night by leading an eight-play, 69-yard drive that culminated in a 25-yard TD strike to Chris Moore. Lamar Jackson is the undisputed starter under center for Baltimore, but he missed four games last season due to injury and dealt with significant absences in 2021 and 2022 as well. If Jackson gets banged up again, Huntley offers a reliable fallback option after completing 77.6 percent of his pass attempts (52-for-67) and committing zero turnovers in five appearances last year.

Josh Cuevas

TE

Veterans Mark Andrews and Durham Smythe once again were kept off the field, leaving Cuevas and fellow rookie Matthew Hibner to handle most of the tight-end duties. Cuevas, a fifth-round pick out of Alabama, caught Tyler Huntley's first pass of the night before connecting with Joe Fagnano for a short gain in the second quarter. Neither young TE stood out in the exhibition finale, and their battle for the No. 3 spot on the depth chart could extend into the regular season.

Matthew Hibner

TE

Eight different Ravens caught multiple passes in the rout as neither team used their starters, and Hibner worked with the first-team offense, catching one pass from Tyler Huntley and another from Joe Fagnano. Hibner, a fourth-round rookie out of SMU, is fighting for snaps and targets at tight end behind veterans Mark Andrews and Durham Smythe, with his main competition being fellow first-year player Josh Cuevas.

Danny Pinter

C

Pinter suffered a torn patella tendon in his right knee during Baltimore's joint practice with the Vikings on Aug. 19. As expected, the offensive lineman will now miss the entire 2026 campaign while on IR.

Justice Hill

RB

The veteran is in the final year of his contract after an injury-shortened 2025 that limited him to 10 regular-season games. Hill is also playing under a new coaching staff and an offensive coordinator, so it will be interesting to see whether his role evolves or other options emerge as Derrick Henry's backup. Hill has been healthy for the preseason and hasn't appeared in either preseason game, which is seemingly a good sign for his standing on the depth chart.

Ja'Kobi Lane

WR

Quarterback Tyler Huntley missed Lane on a deep pass late in the first quarter, but the duo connected on a nine-yard catch early in the second frame, which led to a 49-yard field goal by Tyler Loop two plays later. Lane has been one of the Ravens' standout players in training camp, and the rookie third-rounder flashed that potential in Baltimore's preseason opener against Philadelphia, when he caught three passes on as many targets for 38 yards and a score. Lane could work his way up to the WR2 role behind Zay Flowers with a strong finish to training camp, considering Rashod Bateman is facing charges stemming from a domestic incident in June.

Rashod Bateman

WR

The Ravens released a statement Friday: "We are aware of the situation involving Rashod and have been in direct communication with him. We notified the league office and have been cooperating throughout the process. As this is a pending legal matter, we will not have further comment." The NFL likely won't levy any sort of punishment on Bateman until the legal process plays itself out.

Ethan Pocic

C

Pocic signed a one-year, $4.5 million deal late in the offseason, but Pinter was seeing first-team reps during training camp even after Pocic returned from a recent ankle injury. With Pinter down, Pocic looks like the next man up on the depth chart. The former Brown and Seahawk made 57 regular-season starts for Cleveland over the last four years.

Jahquez Robinson

S

Robinson was waived/injured by the Ravens on Tuesday. The safety cleared waivers and is set to spend the entirety of the 2026 regular season on injured reserve unless he is waived with an injury settlement. The undrafted free agent out of Auburn will likely look toward next year for a potential NFL debut.
