Patrick Ricard Patrick Ricard Out for Week 2
Fri, Sep 12, 2025, 2:44 PM
Ricard (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns.
Analysis: Ricard will miss his second straight game to open the regular season. The fullback hasn't practiced since the middle of last month. |

Isaiah Likely Isaiah Likely Won't play Sunday
Fri, Sep 12, 2025, 2:19 PM
Likely has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns.
Analysis: Likely was listed as a limited practice participant Friday, which suggests that he's moving in the right direction ahead of the Ravens' Sept. 22 contest against the Lions. In Likely's continued absence, Mark Andrews and Charlie Kolar will handle Baltimore's TE reps this weekend. |

Isaiah Likely Isaiah Likely Increasing activity level
Fri, Sep 12, 2025, 11:16 AM
Likely (foot) was in uniform and doing a workout in front of members of the Ravens athletic training and medical staffs Friday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Zrebiec adds that Likely has "definitely upped his activity level," but at this stage it doesn't look like the tight end will be available Sunday against the Browns. In the event that he's officially ruled out later Friday, Likely would then presumably target a potential return to game action Monday, Sept. 22 against the Lions. |

Isaiah Likely Isaiah Likely Still yet to practice this season
Thu, Sep 11, 2025, 12:50 PM
Likely (foot) remained sidelined at Thursday's practice, Brian Wacker of the Baltimore Sun reports.
Analysis: Likely has yet to practice since having surgery to repair a fracture in his foot which he suffered in late July. He's trending toward a second consecutive absence to begin the 2025 campaign. Mark Andrews failed to capitalize on Likely's absence in Week 1, posting only one catch for five yards against the Bills, but Andrews looks set to work as the clear top option among Baltimore's tight ends again when the Ravens host the Browns in Week 2. |

Patrick Ricard Patrick Ricard Unable to practice
Wed, Sep 10, 2025, 6:42 PM
Ricard (calf) did not participate at practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Ricard has been nursing a calf injury since mid-August, and he has yet to return to practice. The fullback will likely need to practice in some capacity at one of the team's two remaining sessions this week in order to play in Sunday's contest versus Cleveland. |

Isaiah Likely Isaiah Likely Not practicing yet
Wed, Sep 10, 2025, 2:20 PM
Likely (foot) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Per Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site, Likely did work out on a side field again Wednesday, and he continues ramping up as he bounces back from a broken foot he sustained early in training camp. If Likely remains sidelined Sunday against the Browns, Mark Andrews and Charlie Kolar would continue to lead Baltimore's TE corps, with Zaire Mitchell-Paden a candidate to be elevated from the practice squad, as he was Week 1. |

Devontez Walker Devontez Walker Limited to special teams
Tue, Sep 9, 2025, 10:04 PM
Walker failed to play a single offensive snap in Sunday's 41-40 loss to the Bills.
Analysis: Walker played 21 snaps on special teams Sunday and was not a part of Baltimore's offensive plans against the Bills. The second-year wideout remains buried on the wide receiver depth chart behind Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, DeAndre Hopkins and Tylan Wallace. Barring injuries, Walker remains far off the fantasy radar ahead of a Week 2 matchup against the Browns. |

Charlie Kolar Charlie Kolar No targets vs. Bills
Tue, Sep 9, 2025, 9:53 AM
Kolar was not targeted over 30 snaps in Sunday's loss to the Bills.
Analysis: With Isaiah Likely out, Kolar moved into a bigger role in the Baltimore offense as he was out there for 60 percent of the snaps. He played just seven fewer snaps than Mark Andrews. However, the healthy snap count did not translate into targets. Kolar helped out as a blocker, and Baltimore only threw it 19 times in total. The fourth-year tight end should have healthy snap counts while Likely is sidelined, but Sunday's outing shows that snaps won't necessarily translate into production. |
|
Tylan Wallace Tylan Wallace No targets Sunday
Tue, Sep 9, 2025, 9:36 AM
Wallace was not targeted on 16 snaps in Sunday's loss to the Bills.
Analysis: The veteran was on the field for roughly one-third of the Ravens' snaps on Sunday. Wallace did not see a target, but it's also worth noting that the Ravens only threw 19 passes. Though Wallace nearly matched DeAndre Hopkins' 18 snaps, Hopkins seems to be more involved in the target rotation, while Wallace may be most useful as a run-blocker on the boundary. |

Rasheen Ali Rasheen Ali Solid as kick returner in Week 1
Tue, Sep 9, 2025, 9:22 AM
Ali was Baltimore's primary kick returner Sunday against the Bills, racking up 167 yards on six opportunities. He added one carry for five yards.
Analysis: Baltimore gave Ali the nod over Keaton Mitchell as the third active running back. Ali saw only one snap on offense, but he did impress on special teams, as he routinely set Baltimore up in good field position. With Derrick Henry and Justice Hill both healthy, it's difficult to project much work for a No.3 running back in Baltimore. It will be worth monitoring whether Baltimore gives Ali another go in Week 2 against Cleveland, or sees what it has with Mitchell in the kick returner/depth running back role. |

Justice Hill Justice Hill Tough sledding in Buffalo
Mon, Sep 8, 2025, 4:27 PM
Hill had two carries for -14 yards and added a three-yard reception on two targets in Sunday's loss to the Bills.
Analysis: Hill had a healthy 45% snap share but his usage was minimal as he had just four combined opportunities in 23 snaps. He had a mishap on one of his carries that resulted in a fumble, and also had a target slip through his hands. Hill seems to be locked into a role as the passing down back who should see his share of targets as the season progresses -- he caught 42 passes in 2024 -- but rushing work will likely remain light. The Ravens host the Browns in Week 2. |

DeAndre Hopkins DeAndre Hopkins Snags touchdown in Ravens debut
Mon, Sep 8, 2025, 4:17 PM
Hopkins caught both of his targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Bills.
Analysis: The veteran impressed in his Baltimore debut, snatching a Lamar Jackson pass out of the air with one hand for his first reception and touchdown as a Raven. He only saw one target after that, though, and played a grand total of 18 snaps, which ranked third among Baltimore wideouts. The Ravens only had 19 dropbacks on a night where they scored 40 points, so there simply weren't a ton of opportunities to go around for anyone other than Zay Flowers, who was targeted nine times. Baltimore tends to be a run-heavy offense that uses two receiver sets more often than not, so there may be a cap on Hopkins' playing time projection and target share. |

Zay Flowers Zay Flowers Monster performance on SNF
Sun, Sep 7, 2025, 11:26 PM
Flowers had seven receptions on nine targets for 143 yards and a touchdown while adding eight rushing yards on two attempts in Sunday's 41-40 loss to the Bills.
Analysis: Flowers overcame an undisclosed injury during the practice week in order to suit up for Baltimore's season opener. Fantasy managers were elated to not only see the speedy receiver in the starting lineup, but also back producing true WR1 numbers after suffering a knee sprain in Week 18 last year. The 143 receiving yards set a new high-water mark for the third-year wideout while his nine targets finished five ahead of the second-highest player (Rashod Bateman). Flowers is shaping up to be an elite fantasy option heading into next Sunday's tilt against the Browns. |

Derrick Henry Derrick Henry GOAT turns to goat on final drive
Sun, Sep 7, 2025, 11:13 PM
Henry rumbled for 169 yards and two touchdowns on 18 carries while catching his lone target for 13 yards with a lost fumble in Sunday's 41-40 loss to the Bills.
Analysis: Henry suffered the lowlight of Sunday's contest when the normally sure-handed back coughed up a fumble on Baltimore's final drive, allowing Buffalo to drive down the field for the game-winning FG. Fantasy managers won't lost any sleep over the rare fumble, as it came on the heels of a monstrous statistical performance from the 31-year-old. The perennial All-Pro lost just one fumble over his last two full seasons, so Sunday's faux pas should be considered an anomaly. Henry is showing no signs of slowing down heading into a Week 2 matchup against the Browns. |

Lamar Jackson Lamar Jackson Scores thrice on SNF
Sun, Sep 7, 2025, 11:00 PM
Jackson completed 14 of 19 pass attempts for 209 yards and two touchdowns while adding 70 rushing yards and a third score on six carries in Sunday's 41-40 loss to Buffalo.
Analysis: Jackson was nearly flawless commanding the Ravens' offense on Sunday Night Football, but it wasn't enough to lift his team over the Bills in an instant classic. The 28-year-old was able to help fantasy managers with his three combined touchdowns, a mark he reached an impressive nine times in 2024. Those who spent a premium pick on the dual-threat superstar have to be feeling good about their QB heading into the Ravens' home opener against the Browns next Sunday. |

Keaton Mitchell Keaton Mitchell Inactive for opener
Sun, Sep 7, 2025, 6:03 PM
Mitchell is inactive for Sunday night's season opener against the Bills.
Analysis: Per Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com, Mitchell is a healthy scratch versus Buffalo, with Rasheen Ali getting the nod as the Ravens' No. 3 back in Week 1 behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill because of his special teams impact. |
|
Patrick Ricard Patrick Ricard Out for Week 1
Fri, Sep 5, 2025, 4:10 PM
Ricard (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday night's game against the Bills, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
Analysis: Ricard has been sidelined for weeks with the calf injury. Without a fullback at their disposal, the Ravens could use more two-tight-end and three-wide-receiver sets against Buffalo. |
|
Isaiah Likely Isaiah Likely Won't play Sunday night
Fri, Sep 5, 2025, 3:18 PM
Likely (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday night's season opener against the Bills.
Analysis: Likely didn't practice this week, so it's not a surprise that he'll be sidelined Sunday. As for the tight end's status beyond Week 1, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com noted that Likely was running on a side field Friday, which is a positive sign relative to his chances of returning in the next couple of weeks. As long as Likely remains sidelined, however, fellow TE Mark Andrews figures to be busy, with Charlie Kolar also mixing in at the position. |

Isaiah Likely Isaiah Likely Still not practicing
Fri, Sep 5, 2025, 11:17 AM
Likely (foot) isn't practicing Friday, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
Analysis: That said, Shaffer notes that Likely appears to be ramping things up, with the tight end spotted doing some on-field work Friday with trainers that included light running but not much hard cutting. Look for Likely to be ruled out for Week 1 action later Friday, but in that scenario the tight end's absence may not linger too long beyond the Ravens' regular-season opener against the Bills. |

Patrick Ricard Patrick Ricard Hasn't practiced since mid-August
Thu, Sep 4, 2025, 1:25 PM
Ricard (calf) isn't practicing Thursday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Ricard hasn't practiced since Aug. 14. The five-time Pro Bowl fullback is unlikely to recover in time to play against the Bills in Week 1 on Sunday Night Football. |
