Baltimore Ravens

The Ravens enter 2026 as one of fantasy football’s most interesting teams because the core is still elite, but the surrounding cast and coaching context have changed enough to add real volatility. Lamar Jackson remains the engine of the offense and is still projecting as a top-tier fantasy quarterback, with ESPN’s Mike Clay forecasting 3,884 passing yards, 26 passing touchdowns, 670 rushing yards, and 4 rushing scores, while Fantasy Life lists him as QB2 in early 2026 drafts. The caution flag is the new environment: Fantasy Life notes a fresh start under head coach Jesse Minter, a lower projected dropback rate, and key offseason departures including tight end Isaiah Likely and center Tyler Linderbaum, all of which could make Jackson’s weekly ceiling slightly less predictable than in past seasons.

Derrick Henry still profiles as a high-end fantasy RB1 candidate because the workload is expected to stay massive, and the scoring upside remains enormous. ESPN’s projections have Henry at 317 carries, 1,480 rushing yards, and 23 touchdowns, and NBC Sports says it would not be surprising for him to clear 300 carries again in 2026. That kind of volume is exactly why he remains so attractive in drafts, even with age and team transitions in the background. Justice Hill is more of a depth piece for fantasy managers, while the overall backfield still looks built around Henry’s ability to control games and finish drives.

At wide receiver, Zay Flowers is the clearest target to chase, and he has a real chance to lead the team in catches and yards again. ESPN projects him for 82 receptions, 1,172 yards, and 6 touchdowns, while Fantasy Life ranks him as the team’s WR1 and a strong fantasy starter. Rashod Bateman remains more of a late-round or waiver-wire option in most formats, and the rookie receivers Ja’Kobi Lane and Elijah Sarratt add depth but are not immediate must-draft fantasy pieces in redraft leagues. The big fantasy question is whether the new offense leans enough into the pass to support multiple usable wideouts, or whether Flowers remains the only truly dependable receiving option behind Jackson’s rushing and Henry’s volume.

Mark Andrews is still worth drafting, but the market is clearly pricing in some decline and uncertainty. Fantasy Life lists him as a lower-end TE1/TE2 type in early ranks, and Shawn Childs notes that Baltimore has reworked its pass-catching depth after losing Likely in the offseason, which removes one of Andrews’ main competition points while also highlighting how much the offense is being reshaped. Overall, this looks like a Ravens fantasy stack that still has league-winning upside through Jackson, Henry, and Flowers, but it comes with more moving parts than usual, so I’d be selective: Jackson and Henry can still anchor rosters, Flowers is the best receiver target, and Andrews is a reasonable but no longer automatic tight end pick.
