Player Outlook
You already know the Ravens DST is notorious for being one of the best in Fantasy. Now you can expect this unit to get off to a really good start with home matchups in Weeks 1 and 3 against the Texans and Colts. The rest of the schedule will be a challenge, including a matchup at Cincinnati in Week 2, but this is a defense that finished seventh in points per game last year and has a refreshed pass rush to go with a pretty veteran group in the secondary. It is worth one of your last two picks.

  • Ravens' David Ojabo: Out Week 4

    Rotowire
    Ojabo (ankle) will not play in Sunday's matchup with the Browns. No surprise here, as Ojabo was unable to participate in practice all week. He injured his ankle in last week's loss to the Colts. With Odafe Oweh (ankle) also ruled out, Jadeveon Clowney and Tavius Robinson will presumably get the start on the edge, while Jeremiah Moon should see an increased role providing depth.

  • Ravens' Marlon Humphrey: Will remain sidelined

    Rotowire
    Humphrey (foot) will not play in Sunday's contest in Cleveland. Humphrey's absence will mark his fourth straight to start the year, so he is still waiting to make his season debut. In hindsight, the Ravens would have been better off placing him on injured reserve prior to Week 1. He was a non-participant at practice all week, so his timeline for return remains unclear. In his absence, Rock Ya-Sin figures to continue filling in.

  • Ravens' Marcus Williams: Officially questionable

    Rotowire
    Williams (pectoral) has drawn a questionable designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Browns. After being limited at Wednesday's practice, Williams was a full participant for consecutive days to close out the week. Still, the Ravens are being cautious with his status by labeling him as questionable. Geno Stone would presumably be in line to fill in at free safety if he ultimately cannot go.

  • Ravens' Kyle Hamilton: Considered questionable

    Rotowire
    Hamilton (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Cleveland. Hamilton saw his workload at practice increase each day this week, so he appears to be trending in the right direction. Still, final confirmation on his status is unlikely to come until Sunday morning. If he is unable to play, Geno Stone would presumably see an increased workload.

  • Ravens' Odafe Oweh: Ruled out

    Rotowire
    Oweh (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against Cleveland. The 2021 first-round pick out of Penn State will miss his second consecutive week as he continues to rehab from an ankle injury suffered during Baltimore's Week 2 win over Cincinnati. Jadeveon Clowney is expected to start in Oweh's absence once again this coming Sunday.

  • Ravens' Kyle Hamilton: Increases workload

    Rotowire
    Hamilton (back) logged a limited practice Wednesday. Hamilton was a DNP on Wednesday, so this is a step in the right direction for the Notre Dame product. He'll keep working to make progress toward playing against the Browns on Sunday when he takes the field for Friday's session.

  • Ravens' Marcus Williams: Set to return

    Rotowire
    Williams (pectoral) logged a full practice Thursday. Williams appears set to play Week 4 against the Browns after suffering what was expected to be a significant injury in the team's Week 1 win over the Texans. The veteran managed to avoid surgery and IR, and his likely return should be a boost to an ailing Ravens secondary.

  • Ravens' Geno Stone: Ready to go for Week 4

    Rotowire
    Stone (ribs) did not appear on the Ravens' injury report Wednesday. Stone suffered a ribs injury in the team's 22-19 loss to the Colts in Week 3, but he appears to be ready to go for Sunday's matchup with the Browns. He could draw the start at free safety with Marcus Williams (pectoral) uncertain again in Week 4.

  • Ravens' Kyle Hamilton: Misses practice Wednesday

    Rotowire
    Hamilton (back) sat out Baltimore's practice on Wednesday. Hamilton is now dealing with a back injury, putting his status for Sunday's game against the Browns in jeopardy. His practice status on Thursday and Friday will likely determine his availability. If Hamilton is unable to play, Geno Stone likely will start instead.

  • Ravens' Marcus Williams: Returns to practice

    Rotowire
    Williams (pectoral) practiced Wednesday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports. Williams avoided IR and surgery despite suffering what was initially believed to be a torn pectoral muscle in the team's Week 1 win over the Texans. It's still not known whether he was able to log a full or limited one, or how likely it is he'll suit up Sunday against the Browns. However, it is clearly a step in a positive direction for the veteran safety.

  • Mazzi Wilkins: Finishes suspension

    Rotowire
    Wilkins had his three-game suspension lifted by the NFL on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Wilkins is set to return to action after missing the first three weeks of the season while serving a suspension. The cornerback hasn't appeared in a game since 2021 and will likely have to settle for a practice squad role if he gets an opportunity with a team.

  • Ravens' Kyle Hamilton: Gets to QB three times

    Rotowire
    Hamilton registered nine tackles (seven solo) -- including three sacks -- along with a forced fumble in Sunday's 22-19 overtime loss to the Colts. All three of Hamilton's sacks came in the first half, though he was limited to just one tackle in the second half of Sunday's contest. His third sack came at the end of the second quarter, when he stripped quarterback Gardner Minshew for a fumble, though it was recovered by Colts receiver Michael Pittman. Hamilton's three-sack performance already puts him ahead of the two sacks he registered in 16 games last season. He'll look to continue to bring the pressure against Deshaun Watson and the Browns in Week 4.

  • Ravens' Roquan Smith: Posts 12 tackles in loss

    Rotowire
    Smith registered 12 tackles (four solo), including a half-sack and a pass deflection, in Sunday's 22-19 OT loss to the Colts. Smith cracked double-digit tackles for the second time this season, tying Patrick Queen in total tackles on the day. The former has played 100 percent of defensive snaps so far this season and will be relied on to help stop Deshaun Watson and the Browns in Week 4.

  • Ravens' Patrick Queen: Tied for most tackles

    Rotowire
    Queen recorded 12 tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 22-19 overtime loss to the Colts. This is the second time in three games where Queen has registered double-digit tackles, and Sunday, he was tied with Roquan Smith on the day. He's on pace to reach 100-plus tackles for the third time in five seasons and will continue to be a key piece for the Ravens' linebacker corps as they visit the 2-1 Browns in Week 4.

  • Ravens' Geno Stone: Dealing with injury to ribs

    Rotowire
    Stone has an injury to his ribs following Sunday's 22-19 overtime loss versus Indianapolis, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports. Coach John Harbaugh wasn't able to provide any update regarding the injury when speaking with the press Monday. Baltimore's injury report Wednesday will shed more light on the severity of the issue.

  • Ravens' David Ojabo: Exits versus Indy

    Rotowire
    Ojabo is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Colts with an ankle injury, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports. Ojabo suffered this injury on the opening drive of Sunday's contest, though he still recorded one tackle before exiting. The second-year outside linebacker is expected to play a larger role this season after he missed the first 14 games of his rookie campaign while recovering from a torn Achilles. With Ojabo sidelined for the time being, Jadeveon Clowney and Tavius Robinson will have to step into much larger roles at outside linebacker, as starter Odafe Oweh (ankle) is already inactive.

  • Ravens' Marcus Williams: Out Week 3

    Rotowire
    Williams (pectoral) will not play in Sunday's matchup with the Colts. After sitting out practice all week, it is not surprising to see Williams get scratched for Week 3. The absence will be his second straight after he went down in Week 1, which means Geno Stone could again be in line for an increased role. Williams will now focus on recovering in time for a potential Week 4 return.

  • Ravens' Odafe Oweh: Out Week 3

    Rotowire
    Oweh (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Colts. No surprise here, as Oweh was unable to practice all week. Some combination of Tavius Robinson and Jadeveon Clowney will presumably replace him on the edge. Oweh will now focus on recovering in time for Week 4.

  • Ravens' Marlon Humphrey: Ruled out for Sunday

    Rotowire
    Humphrey (foot) has been ruled out for Baltimore's Week 3 game against the Colts. Humphrey will now miss his third straight game to start the season as he is still recovering from the foot surgery he underwent in August. Rock Ya-Sin will start once again, while Humphrey will focus on trying to make his season debut next week.

  • Ravens' Roquan Smith: Plays every snap in win

    Rotowire
    Smith played every defensive snap and made five tackles in the Ravens' 27-24 victory over the Bengals on Sunday. The linebacker contributed to a defensive effort that held Cincinnati to just 282 total yards and 66 rushing yards. Smith finished with 16 tackles and a sack in Baltimore's Week 1 win over Houston. The three-time All-Pro is playing like one so far in 2023.
