The Baltimore Ravens offense in 2023 saw a significant increase in passing plays, leading to Lamar Jackson winning his second MVP award. Jackson finished as the QB4 in fantasy football, with a top-24 RB and a top-36 WR. The addition of Derrick Henry in free agency aims to improve the running game, while Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman are expected to strengthen the passing game. Here’s a look at what fantasy managers can expect from the Ravens’ offense in 2024.
**Baltimore Ravens Fantasy Depth Chart**
*QB:* Lamar Jackson, Josh Johnson, Devin Leary
*RB:* Derrick Henry, Keaton Mitchell, Rasheen Ali, Justice Hill
*WR:* Zay Flowers, Devontez Walker
*WR:* Rashod Bateman, Deonte Harty
*WR:* Nelson Agholor, Tylan Wallace
*TE:* Mark Andrews, Isaiah Likely, Charlie Kolar
**Lamar Jackson’s Fantasy Outlook**
Jackson’s growth as a passer in 2023 was evident, increasing his passing yards per game from 188 to 229. He also improved his TD-INT ratio, throwing 24 TD passes and just seven INTs. Jackson’s ability to run also adds to his fantasy value, making him a top dual-threat QB in the league. Despite injury concerns, Jackson remains a top-five fantasy option at the QB position.
**Derrick Henry’s Fantasy Outlook**
Joining the Ravens at 30 years old, Henry’s dominance in the running game could continue in Baltimore’s offense. Despite a slight decline in 2023, Henry still managed over 1,100 rushing yards and 12 TDs. With an improved offensive line, Henry’s production could be even better in 2024.
**Zay Flowers’ Fantasy Outlook**
Flowers had an impressive rookie season with 77 receptions, 858 yards, and five scores. He showcased his versatility by lining up in the slot and making big plays down the field. If he can continue to develop chemistry with Jackson, Flowers could be a top-10 fantasy WR in his second season.
**Mark Andrews’ Fantasy Outlook**
Andrews dealt with injuries in 2023 but still managed solid production. With Flowers in the mix, Andrews remains a top TE option, averaging over four receptions and 50 receiving yards per game. Expect Andrews to be a top-five TE in fantasy drafts.
**Ravens’ Fantasy Sleepers**
Running back Keaton Mitchell showed promise before his season-ending injury and could be a sleeper to watch in 2024. Rookie RB Rasheen Ali has the potential to make an impact with his athletic profile. Receivers like Devontez Walker and Isaiah Likely could also provide fantasy value if given the opportunity.
