Dwain McFarland and Ian Hartitz provide the cheat sheet for the Baltimore Ravens, providing the fantasy football outlook for 2026.


The Baltimore Ravens get a fresh start with new HC Jesse Minter, but familiar faces like Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry and Zay Flowers could plenty fantasy football fireworks during the 2026 season.
Ian Hartitz and Dwain McFarland break down everything you need to know about the Ravens with their 2026 fantasy football cheat sheet, highlighting their fantasy football rankings, projections and more.
QB: Lamar Jackson (QB2)
RB: Derrick Henry (RB11) | Justice Hill (RB67)
WR: Zay Flowers (WR21) | Rashod Bateman (WR108) | Elijah Sarratt (WR77) | Ja'Kobi Lane (WR89)
TE: Mark Andrews (TE13)
The most concerning part of Lamar Jackson's 2025 campaign was his career-low 26.8 rushing yards per game–33.1 yards lower than his previous career average. Of course, September hamstring and December back injuries didn't help matters. There's reason to believe Jackson's biggest and best seasons are in the rear-view mirror, but we are still talking about one of just three QBs with a career fantasy points per game average north of 20.
Derrick Henry's 325-1,921-16 and 307-1,595-16 rushing lines in his first two seasons with the Ravens came on a beastly 5.6 yards per carry. While the future Hall of Famer has played in 69 of a possible 70 games over the past four seasons, Henry would be the first RB aged 32+ to post top-12 PPR numbers since DeAngelo Williams back in 2015. Justice Hill is the next man up.
Zay Flowers' 12-game scoring drought during the middle of the year wasn't ideal, but the man was indeed one of only six players at the position to gain 1,200+ receiving yards, and this depth chart continues to offer very little in the form of significant competition. Meanwhile, times as a Rashod Bateman truther are tough. Injuries be damned: 2024 (45-756-9) is the only season that the former first-rounder has managed to get much of anything going—and now the Ravens drafted Ja’Kobi Lane and Elijah Sarratt to compete with him.
Mark Andrews is the team's undisputed No. 1 tight end after Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar took their talents to New York and Los Angeles, respectively, in free agency. The 30-year-old veteran Andrews is only one season removed from scoring 11 touchdowns, but 2025 was ROUGH. We're talking career-worst counting and efficiency numbers in basically every stat out there. Except rushing. Remember that cool 35-yard fake tush push TD run? Crazy.
At the age of 30, Andrews isn't the same player he once was, but he profiles as a top-2 option in an offense projected as a top-5 scoring unit. He is a near lock for a 75% route participation rate. Over the last three seasons, the veteran TE has averaged 12.1 fantasy points in 18 games in which he reached that threshold. That would make him a mid-range TE1. Andrews is a steal as the TE16 in early drafts.
