DeAndre Hopkins DeAndre Hopkins Playing time trending up
Mon, Oct 13, 2025, 3:25 PM
Hopkins had two catches for 20 yards on four targets Sunday against the Rams.
Analysis: Baltimore's passing game was limited under the direction of Cooper Rush and Tyler Huntley on Sunday, but an underlying detail from the game was Hopkins' playing time ticking up. Hopkins played a season-high 26 snaps, which was good for 33 percent of the plays. He also had a season-high four targets. Baltimore is on a bye in Week 7, but given that Hopkins has been excellent on a per-target basis (13.7 YPT), it would not be surprising to see his role continue on an upward trend, especially when Lamar Jackson returns. |

Rashod Bateman Rashod Bateman Held to one catch Sunday
Mon, Oct 13, 2025, 3:11 PM
Bateman had one catch for eight yards on two targets Sunday against the Rams.
Analysis: Lamar Jackson's absence continued to be a massive limiting factor on the Baltimore passing game Sunday. However, Bateman's involvement waned a bit Sunday as he played just 56 percent of the snaps, a season-low. His cold stretch precedes Jackson's absence, too. His best game thus far was five catches for 63 yards and a score against the Lions in Week 3. Outside of that game, Bateman has six catches for 57 yards on the year. The Ravens are on a bye in Week 7, and the hope is that the impending Jackson return will revitalize the floundering Baltimore offense. |

Zay Flowers Zay Flowers Held to 46 yards
Sun, Oct 12, 2025, 8:24 PM
Flowers recorded six receptions on 10 targets for 46 yards in Sunday's 17-3 loss to the Rams. He also lost a fumble.
Analysis: Flowers was targeted heavily by the combination of Cooper Rush and Tyler Huntley, with no other Baltimore pass catcher earning more than six targets. He had long gains of 18 and 10 yards, though the latter was undone when he fumbled on the same play. Flowers has been mediocre from a fantasy perspective in the absence of Lamar Jackson (hamstring) despite consistent volume in the offense. However, he should be in line for more explosive performances with Jackson expected back in Week 8 following Baltimore's bye. |

Derrick Henry Derrick Henry Gets back on track
Sun, Oct 12, 2025, 4:08 PM
Henry rushed the ball 24 times for 122 yards in Sunday's 17-3 loss to the Rams. He added one reception on two targets for eight yards.
Analysis: The Ravens' offensive game plan was to feed Henry as much as possible, limiting the need for Cooper Rush to take to the air. That was effective in the first half, as Henry delivered 18 carries for 90 yards while Baltimore also controlled time of possession. Game script ultimately got away from the team, but this was a needed performance from Henry, both in terms of volume and efficiency. He recorded three rushes of more than 10 yards to top 50 yards for the first time since Week 1. Henry's 25 touches were also his most of the campaign, and he should benefit from the expected return of Lamar Jackson (hamstring) in Week 8, following the team's bye. |

Lamar Jackson Lamar Jackson Expected back after bye
Sun, Oct 12, 2025, 3:26 PM
Coach John Harbaugh noted after Sunday's loss to the Rams that Jackson (hamstring) is expected to return to action in Week 8, following the Ravens' bye, Ryan Mink of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Jackson has missed Baltimore's last two games, but Harbaugh indicated Sunday that his hope and expectation is that the star QB will be available for the team's Oct. 26 game against the Bears. The looming return of Jackson, among others, in Week 8 offers hope that a turnaround can be engineering by the Ravens, who head into their bye week with a 1-5 record. Either way, if Jackson is healthy, he belongs in fantasy lineups. |

Zay Flowers Zay Flowers Active versus Rams
Sun, Oct 12, 2025, 10:39 AM
Flowers (shoulder) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Rams.
Analysis: After being deemed limited in all three of the Ravens' practices this week, Flowers drew a 'questionable' designation for Week 6. With his active status versus Los Angeles confirmed, for the second week in a row Flowers will be catching passes from QB Cooper Rush, with Lamar Jackson (hamstring) still sidelined. While the wideout is available Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network suggests that Flowers isn't likely to be 100 percent and is a candidate to play less than his typical allotment of snaps in a wideout corps that also includes Rashod Bateman, DeAndre Hopkins and Tylan Wallace. In last Sunday's 44-10 loss to the Texans, Flowers was Baltimore's top pass catcher, recording five receptions on as many targets for 72 yards, while logging an 84 percent snap share. |

Zay Flowers Zay Flowers Likely to play Sunday
Sat, Oct 11, 2025, 10:18 PM
Flowers, who is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Rams due to a shoulder injury, is expected to suit up, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Flowers logged a trio of limited practices this week while managing a shoulder issue. He was deemed questionable to play on Baltimore's final injury report Friday, but it appears he'll ultimately be able to suit up. However, for the second straight week he'll be working with QB Cooper Rush, as Lamar Jackson (hamstring) has already been ruled out for Week 6. In addition, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network notes that Flowers will likely play less snaps than usual, further complicating things for fantasy managers who have to decide whether to place him in their lineups this weekend. |

Tyler Huntley Tyler Huntley Elevated for Week 6
Sat, Oct 11, 2025, 6:39 PM
The Ravens elevated Huntley from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
Analysis: With Lamar Jackson (hamstring) ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams, Huntley will be on the active roster for a second-straight week to serve as the Ravens' backup quarterback behind Cooper Rush. Huntley appeared in five regular-season games for the Dolphins in 2024, when he completed 64.7 percent of his passes for 829 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions while adding 26 carries for 135 yards and two scores. |

Patrick Ricard Patrick Ricard Not cleared to make 2025 debut
Fri, Oct 10, 2025, 5:16 PM
Ricard (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams.
Analysis: Ricard was able to practice in a limited capacity Thursday and Friday, but he has not been cleared to return from a calf injury that he sustained during training camp in August. He'll have additional time to rest with the Ravens on bye Week 7, making Week 8 against the Bears on Sunday, Oct. 26 his next opportunity to make his 2025 regular-season debut. |

Devontez Walker Devontez Walker Won't play against LAR
Fri, Oct 10, 2025, 5:04 PM
Walker (oblique) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams.
Analysis: Walker downgraded to a DNP for Friday's practice, and his oblique injury is severe enough for him to not play in Sunday's home game. Walker has served in a depth role at wide receiver and as a contributor on special teams this season, which makes Cornelius Johnson and Keith Kirkwood candidates to be elevated from the Ravens' practice squad to the active roster, especially if Zay Flowers (shoulder) is also ruled out. |

Zay Flowers Zay Flowers Questionable after limited practice
Fri, Oct 10, 2025, 3:40 PM
Flowers (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Brian Wacker of the Baltimore Sun reports.
Analysis: Flowers was limited in all three of Baltimore's practices prior to being tagged with a questionable designation for Week 6. Even if Flowers plays, he would be catching passes from backup quarterback Cooper Rush, as Lamar Jackson (hamstring) has been ruled out for a second consecutive game. |

Cooper Rush Cooper Rush Another spot start on tap
Fri, Oct 10, 2025, 3:39 PM
Rush will start Sunday against the Rams after the Ravens ruled out Lamar Jackson (hamstring) for that contest, Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Analysis: Earlier Friday, coach John Harbaugh declined to give a game designation for Jackson ahead of Week 6 action but added that if he doesn't play, Rush would get the nod under center, per Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com. Now that the preceding has come to pass, Rush will start his second straight game this weekend, though he'll be looking to be more productive after completing 14-for-20 passes for 179 yards, no touchdowns and three interceptions during this past Sunday's 44-10 loss to the Texans. |

Lamar Jackson Lamar Jackson Won't play Sunday
Fri, Oct 10, 2025, 3:37 PM
Jackson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams, Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Analysis: With Jackson set to miss his second straight game, Cooper Rush is in line to draw another start at QB for the Ravens this weekend. With the team on bye Week 7, Jackson will target a potential return to action Sunday, Oct. 26 against the Bears. |

Devontez Walker Devontez Walker DNP due to oblique Friday
Fri, Oct 10, 2025, 11:33 AM
Walker (oblique) isn't practicing Friday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Walker played through this oblique injury in the Week 5 loss to the Texans, but he continues to be bothered by the injury, and Friday's absence doesn't bode well for his availability Sunday against the Rams. Friday's injury report will reveal whether Walker has a chance to suit up Sunday. |
|
Lamar Jackson Lamar Jackson Not practicing Friday
Fri, Oct 10, 2025, 11:08 AM
Jackson (hamstring) isn't practicing Friday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: With Jackson in line to log his third straight DNP this week, the star QB is trending toward missing Sunday's game against the Rams. Such an outcome could be solidified once Friday's final injury report is posted, and in that event Cooper Rush would be slated to handle another starting turn for the Ravens this weekend before they head into a Week 7 bye. |

Zay Flowers Zay Flowers Still limited Thursday
Thu, Oct 9, 2025, 6:01 PM
Flowers (shoulder) remained limited at practice Thursday.
Analysis: Flowers was also limited Wednesday, but so far there's been nothing to suggest that his availability for Sunday's game against the Rams is in danger. In any case, Friday's final injury report will reveal whether the wideout carries an injury designation into the weekend or is fully cleared to face Los Angeles. |

Lamar Jackson Lamar Jackson Misses another practice Thursday
Thu, Oct 9, 2025, 12:47 PM
Jackson (hamstring) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: With Jackson having yet to practice in any fashion since injuring his hamstring in the Ravens' Week 4 loss to the Chiefs, Jackson appears to be trending toward missing a second straight game Sunday against the Rams. If Jackson ends up being ruled out for the Week 6 contest, Cooper Rush would be on track for another starting turn for the Ravens before the team heads into a Week 7 bye. |

Devontez Walker Devontez Walker Still dealing with oblique issue
Wed, Oct 8, 2025, 8:15 PM
Walker (oblique) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Walker was active in Week 5 versus Houston despite the injury, but it still seems to be bothering as Baltimore starts its new week of practice. He'll have two more opportunities to practice in full before the Ravens release their final injury report of the week Friday. |
|
Zay Flowers Zay Flowers Limited with shoulder injury
Wed, Oct 8, 2025, 6:58 PM
Flowers (shoulder) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: It's a new injury for the Ravens' top wide receiver and his first time on the injury report this season. Starting the week limited isn't too much of a concern at the moment, unless Flowers was injured in Wednesday's practice. If Flowers is unable to play Sunday against the Rams, Baltimore would roll out a wideout group of Rashod Bateman, DeAndre Hopkins, Tylan Wallace and Devontez Walker (oblique). |
|
Patrick Ricard Patrick Ricard Doesn't practice Wednesday
Wed, Oct 8, 2025, 1:13 PM
Ricard (calf) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The veteran fullback from Maine has yet to return to practice after sustaining a calf injury in August. He likely needs to upgrade to a limited session Thursday or Friday in order to play in Baltimore's Week 6 matchup against the Rams. |
