Rashod Bateman Limited in Practice on Thursday

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (ankle) was a limited participant in practice on Thursday. This was a step backward after he had logged a full session on Wednesday. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to his status on Friday, as it appears he's trending in the wrong direction. In the event that he can't suit up this week, DeAndre Hopkins would likely operate as the Ravens' No. 2 receiver alongside Zay Flowers. At the moment, neither Bateman nor Hopkins is a reliable fantasy option in leagues with 12 or fewer teams.

Lamar Jackson Expected to Play Against Steelers

Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken said that he expects quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) to play on Sunday against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers, according to Jamison Hensley of ESPN. Jackson was limited on Wednesday for the second straight week with an ankle injury and was then downgraded to a DNP on Thursday, raising some question marks about whether he would play this weekend. The 28-year-old two-time MVP has been limited by multiple lower-body injuries in practices the last few weeks, but he has been able to take the field on game days. The good news is that the Steelers have allowed the fifth-most fantasy points per game to opposing QBs this year. The bad news is that Jackson has not been his typical high-end QB1 self in 2025, as he ranks as just the QB16 in fantasy points per game this year. In the last three weeks, he's averaging only 11.5 points, which is below Kirk Cousins.

Lamar Jackson Not Practicing on Thursday

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) is not practicing on Thursday due to an ankle injury, according to Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. Jackson is on the injury report for the second straight week with an ankle injury, and it's concerning that he was downgraded from limited to a DNP this week. The 28-year-old two-time MVP has been limited in each of the last three weeks with ankle, knee, and toe ailments, but he has not missed any games. Jackson might not be in danger of missing a big divisional game this Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but he'll need to return to practice on Friday. A hamstring injury cost Jackson several games earlier this season, and he just hasn't looked like himself as a runner in 2025. Jackson hasn't scored on the ground since Week 1 and has 31 rushing attempts for 98 yards and no TDs since returning from his hamstring injury in Week 9. He's still a must-start at QB in fantasy, but he's dropped from the elite ranks at the position to the midrange tier going into Week 14.

Lamar Jackson Limited on Wednesday

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice as the Ravens prepare for their divisional showdown against the Pittsburgh Steelers. This marks the first time Jackson has participated in a Wednesday practice in quite some time, but it's still displeasing to see the star quarterback's name on the injury report. Jackson suffered a hamstring injury earlier in the season that sidelined him for four weeks, and has been listed for knee and ankle injuries in the past few weeks. Jackson's rushing stats have dipped drastically in 2025, averaging career lows in rushing attempts, yards, and touchdowns this season. Without his rushing floor, Jackson will continue to be an inconsistent option for fantasy managers. Jackson will likely be upgraded to a full practice either Thursday or Friday and should be ready to play in an important game in Week 14.

Mark Andrews Agrees to Three-Year Extension With Ravens

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews agreed to terms on a three-year, $39.3 million contract extension with the team on Wednesday that includes $26 million guaranteed, sources tell Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. Andrews is the franchise's all-time leading receiver, who was in the final year of his deal. The 2026 campaign will be his ninth with the team after the Ravens drafted him in the third round in 2018. Andrews is going strong and currently has 473 career catches for 5,826 yards and 56 touchdowns. The 30-year-old veteran isn't nearly as consistent as he's been in the past for fantasy managers, but he's managed 37 catches on 52 targets for 332 yards and five touchdowns in 12 games in 2025, good enough to make him the TE13 in half-PPR scoring. Isaiah Likely's presence in Baltimore makes Andrews more volatile in fantasy, but he'll be a low-end TE1 this weekend against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers.

Keaton Mitchell Scores First Touchdown, Still Buried on Ravens' RB Depth Chart

Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell scored for the first time this year in last Thursday's Thanksgiving Day loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Mitchell was extremely efficient with his limited opportunities on Turkey Day, taking two carries for 19 yards and a touchdown while picking up 12 receiving yards on his two receptions (three targets). The 23-year-old third-year back only played 13% of the offensive snaps as Baltimore's RB3, though, behind Rasheen Ali (48% snap share) and Derrick Henry (40%). Mitchell had a nice 18-yard touchdown scamper against the Bengals and has intriguing explosiveness out of the backfield, but right now he's stuck as the No. 3 option in the Ravens' backfield, making him a hard sell for a roster spot in 12-team fantasy leagues. He has added value in leagues that include return yardage on special teams. Mitchell had 91 return yards on three kickoffs in Week 13.

Isaiah Likely Could Be Worth Stashing After Increased Involvement in Week 13

Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely posted his most productive performance of the season in Week 13, recording five catches for 95 yards on six targets against the Cincinnati Bengals. However, the 25-year-old was also responsible for one of the turning points in the game when he coughed up a fumble as he was crossing the goal line, turning a touchdown into a touchback. Still, Likely's increased involvement is a positive sign for fantasy managers. Although he's failed to find the end zone so far this season, Likely recorded six touchdowns on 58 targets across 16 games in 2024 and has shown stretches of red zone chemistry with Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson throughout his career. The presence of tight ends Mark Andrews and Charlie Kolar in Baltimore limits Likely's upside, as he's played fewer than 60% of the team's offensive snaps in six straight games heading into his Week 14 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, in deep fantasy leagues, Likely may be worth stashing off the waiver wire in case an injury to Andrews opens up a significant playing time opportunity in Baltimore.

Justice Hill Could Return This Year

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said on Monday that running back Justice Hill (neck) will be out three to four weeks with a disc issue in his neck, but there's still a chance that he will return this year, according to Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun. Hill injured his neck in practice early last week and landed on Injured Reserve before the Thanksgiving Day loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday night. The 28-year-old pass-catching back will miss at least three more games, but he will be eligible to return from IR in Week 17 on the road at Lambeau Field against the Green Bay Packers. Keaton Mitchell was starting to take on a bigger role behind starter Derrick Henry even before Hill was injured, so if he does return before the end of the 2025 regular season, Hill could be Baltimore's RB3 on passing downs. He only has 18 rushing attempts on the year for 93 yards and two TDs, adding 169 receiving yards and one score.

Ravens Want to Increase Derrick Henry's Usage

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry carried the ball only 10 times in a primetime Thanksgiving loss to the Bengals. In a season that has not played out as most had prognosticated for the Ravens, this marked the fourth time that Henry was held to 12 carries or fewer. While it was the first such occurrence since a Week 4 loss to the Chiefs, head coach John Harbaugh stressed on Monday that he wants the Ravens to be a running team. With quarterback Lamar Jackson clearly hampered by a growing list of ailments, much of that identity will presumably fall on Henry's shoulders. Henry himself has also visibly lost a step from his fantasy MVP days, but he has still been a serviceable RB1 for most of the season, and if given a full workload, especially as temperatures drop and the frequency of on-field business decisions increases, he remains one of the safest plays in fantasy.

Nate Wiggins Exits Early with Foot Injury, Won't Return Thursday Night

Baltimore Ravens defensive back Nate Wiggins (foot) won't return in Thursday night's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. He exited Thursday's game early with a foot injury in the second quarter and has been officially ruled out for the rest of the game. Wiggins had two solo tackles and two passes defended before leaving. The 22-year-old has been terrific for the Ravens this season, leading the team with three interceptions and nine passes defended over 11 games. The severity of Wiggins' foot injury is unknown and is day-to-day for now. He will likely go under additional tests after the game. T.J. Tampa should see an uptick in snaps with Wiggins sidelined.

Justice Hill Placed on Injured Reserve

The Baltimore Ravens placed running back Justice Hill (neck) on injured reserve due to a neck injury, according to the team. Hill returned in Week 12 against the New York Jets after missing Week 11 because of a toe injury, but will now miss at least the next four games. Hill played on 25.4% of the offensive snaps against the Jets and didn't record a touch, but returned one kickoff for 27 yards. The 28-year-old has mostly played on pass downs behind Derrick Henry this season, handling 18 carries for 93 yards and two touchdowns along with 21 receptions for 169 yards and another score on 27 targets as a receiver in 10 games. Hill's absence will lead to more opportunities for the dynamic Keaton Mitchell, who is averaging 5.8 yards per carry on 23 attempts this season.

Tyler Loop • K • Ravens

Tyler Loop a Top Option in Week 13

Baltimore Ravens kicker Tyler Loop continues to roll as the team rides a five-game win streak. In Week 12, Loop made all three of his field goal attempts (31, 35, and 27 yards) as well both of his extra point attempts. He's finished as a K1 in four of his last five games, while the offense has put up at least 20 points in each one. Week 13 brings the Cincinnati Bengals, who have one of the worst defenses in the league. Loop should see plenty of opportunities, especially since the matchups between these AFC North rivals have ended in shootouts in recent seasons. He's projected as a top five fantasy kicker this week, so fantasy managers can deploy him into their lineups again.

DeAndre Hopkins Hard to Trust, Even in Great Week 13 Matchup

Baltimore Ravens veteran wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins hasn't made a fantasy impact since the first two weeks of the season, and Week 12 wasn't any different. Despite seeing a couple more targets over the last few weeks, Hopkins still finished with only two or three fantasy points in half-PPR formats. Even though he's going up against a porous defense in the Cincinnati Bengals on Thanksgiving, he still projects outside the top 60. To make matters worse, Rashod Bateman (ankle) is officially set to return, so he'll likely see fewer targets. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere for some upside if wide receiver help is needed.

Mark Andrews Gets Value Boost with Good Matchup in Week 13

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews put up a dud in Week 12 after a three-game stretch where he finished as the TE5, TE9, and TE4 in half-PPR formats. Before that stretch, he only had one other TE1 finish. In Week 13, however, Andrews and the Ravens take on the Cincinnati Bengals. They're ranked last against opposing tight ends in fantasy, and give up an average of 22.80 fantasy points per game to the position. The second-worst team gives up 17.50 on average, so the Bengals have been especially bad. In fact, they're the only team that has given up close to 1,000 receiving yards and more than seven touchdowns (13). So, Andrews holds TE1 value once again.

Zay Flowers • WR • Ravens

Zay Flowers Once Again Hovering Around WR2 Status in Week 13

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers is quite possibly one of the most consistent options in PPR leagues. Not consistent as in always in the running for WR1 overall, more like consistently putting up average fantasy numbers that are good if he's the flex player every week. He still has a touchdown-less streak and non-WR1 streak going since Week 1. In Week 13, he'll take on the Cincinnati Bengals, who have rolled out quite the atrocious defense over the last couple of seasons. For fantasy purposes, however, the Bengals actually rank tenth against receivers and have only given up six receiving touchdowns all season. Rashod Bateman (ankle) also returns to the lineup, so Flowers is still projected as a mid-level WR2.

Keaton Mitchell • RB • Ravens

Keaton Mitchell a Risky Option in Week 13

Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell is set to see a bit more action in Week 13 after Justice Hill (neck) has officially been ruled out. In Week 12, Mitchell finished with more touches (3) than Hill (0) despite the fact that he had a 19% snap share compared to Hill's 25%. The young speedster has been more efficient and explosive with his touches this season, and more action against a vulnerable defense should mean great opportunities. The Cincinnati Bengals rank last against opposing backfields and have given up a total of nine touchdowns on the ground and five through the air to running backs. While this all equates to good things for Mitchell, he's still projected outside the top 50 and would be a very risky flex option, even in deeper leagues.

Derrick Henry • RB • Ravens

Derrick Henry Draws a Great Matchup on Thanksgiving

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry has finished as an RB1 in each of the last two weeks, and has registered double-digit fantasy points over his last six consecutive games in half-PPR formats. Despite an ugly average of 3.0 yards per carry last week, he's always a threat to score, like he did twice against the New York Jets. Their Week 13 matchup against the Cincinnatti Bengals should mean a huge green light for Henry. They're ranked 32nd against opposing backfields and have allowed an average of 32.18 fantasy points per game. Henry is projected as a mid-level RB1 this week and should remain in starting lineups regardless of format.

Lamar Jackson Still Projected as a QB1 Against Bengals

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has registered a rough stretch of fantasy finishes over the last three games as he continues to deal with a slew of injuries. This week, he was dealing with a toe issue that kept him out of the walkthrough on Monday, but he was a full participant the rest of the way. His upside remains one of the highest in the league, especially against a Cincinnati Bengals defense that has allowed the third most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season, and the second most over the last four weeks. A lot of these matchups with the Bengals have ended up in a shootout, and Jackson's 10-2 against them in his career with a total of 2,472 yards, 22 touchdowns, and four interceptions. For that reason, he's still projected as a QB1, but he's become a bit more worrisome week by week.

Rashod Bateman to be Active for Thanksgiving Game

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (ankle) upgraded to a full practice on Wednesday and has been removed from the final injury report in Week 13, according to Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun. Bateman will put an end to his two-game absence due to an ankle sprain and will play against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals on Thanksgiving Day on Thursday night. The matchup against Cincy's porous defense is an excellent one for Bateman to return to, but he may not be able to take advantage of it. The 25-year-old is having another disappointing season for fantasy football purposes, having caught just 16 passes for 194 yards and two touchdowns on 32 targets through nine games. At best, fantasy managers should consider Bateman to be a low-upside WR5/flex in deeper leagues in his return to Baltimore's lineup.

Rashod Bateman Remains Limited in Practice on Tuesday

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that wide receiver Rashod Bateman (ankle) was a full participant in practice on Tuesday. However, the team's official injury report lists Bateman as a limited participant for the second straight day. The 25-year-old has missed his team's last two games due to an ankle injury and does not appear certain to make his return for Baltimore's Week 13 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals on Thanksgiving night. Across nine games this season, Bateman has recorded 16 catches for 194 yards and two touchdowns on 31 targets. If he remains sidelined on Thursday, veteran Ravens wideout DeAndre Hopkins would be the most likely beneficiary from a playing time perspective. Regardless of whether Bateman is active or not, Baltimore WR1 Zay Flowers remains the only Ravens wide receiver who should be on fantasy radars in Week 13.
