2025 Baltimore Ravens Team Preview

WR DeAndre Hopkins, --- - Over the Hill (decreased production)

ADVICE: Name recognition will likely mean that Hopkins is drafted rounds higher than he should be at this stage. Even playing for the Chiefs, Hopkins's career-worst 10.9 yards per catch indicates he's no longer the downfield threat he once was. His ADOT, YAC, and yared per route run have also been trending down since 2021. Hopkins (33) had an excellent run, but he's barely fantasy-relevant entering his 13th season.

TE Mark Andrews, BAL - Solid/Safe Pick

Mark Andrews looked like a monumental bust after Baltimore's first four games. Perhaps he was still affected by the hip-drop tackle that ended his 2023 campaign. Regardless, starting in Week 5, Andrews took his customary place, averaging 13.6 fantasy points per game in Baltimore's final 11 contests. That figure would have ranked 4th for the full season. Andrews also led the position with an ADOT of 10.5 and a career-high 11 touchdowns. He still flashed that red-zone chemistry with Lamar Jackson, which keeps Andrews in the TE1 conversation.

TE Isaiah Likely, NYG - Quality Backup

Likely's 9/111/1 outing in the season-opener caused a waiver wire fury. But after that game, Likely became very hit-or-miss, posting double-digit points in three games and fewer than five points in seven weeks. Overall, Likely ranked 8th in fantasy points per target (2.13) and scored six touchdowns despite ranking just 29th in snap share. Baltimore used two tight end sets 5th-most in the league, so we expect Likely to remain involved in the slot (41 percent slot snaps ranked 12th). But he remains a boom-or-bust fantasy option as long as Mark Andrews is on the roster.

PK Tyler Loop, BAL - Sleeper (undervalued)

The Ravens parted ways with longtime starter Justin Tucker and drafted Tyler Loop with the 186th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Loop converted over 83% of his field goals at Kansas State, including a school-record 62-yarder. Tucker exceeded 130 kicking points in seven of his last nine seasons, so this is an ideal landing spot for Loop. He'll be in a good position to post top-5 fantasy numbers and is completely unknown to many drafters.

Baltimore

Baltimore rebounded in 2024, finishing as a top-12 defense after falling off badly in 2023. They ranked 2nd with 54 sacks and have room to grow in the turnover department. Consider the Ravens a very strong fantasy unit, with a return to the top five possible.
