Miles Boykin Returns To Practice

Baltimore Ravens rookie wide receiver Miles Boykin (hamstring) was back in a limited capacity at practice on Thursday. Boykin should be full-go by the time training camp comes around. The talented receiver should be in three-wide sets in his rookie season, but he's a long shot to return relevant numbers in redraft leagues in an […]

Hayden Hurst Dealing With Tweaked Hamstring

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that tight end Hayden Hurst (hamstring) was held out of practice on Thursday due to a tweaked hamstring, but he should be back for minicamp next week. Hurst, a first-rounder last year, had just 13 receptions for 163 yards and a touchdown in 12 games due to injuries […]

Gus Edwards Leaner And More Powerful

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards is leaner and more powerful as he enters the 2019 season. He said he weighs the same as last year, but his body is trimmer and he is down to six percent body fat from nine percent in 2018. Edwards was the team's most productive runner in the second […]

Rookie Spotlight - Marquise Brown

With the 25th pick in the 2019 NFL draft, the Baltimore Ravens select Oklahoma wide receiver Marquise "Hollywood" Brown. Brown immediately threatens to be the best wide receiver on the roster. The Ravens' identity has remained unchanged since they started in 1996. They take the ball to the ground to pound you into submission, and […]

Kenneth Dixon Sitting Out OTAs

Baltimore Ravens running back Kenneth Dixon sat out of organized team activities for an undisclosed reason. Dixon played in just six games last year due to injury and had 60 carries for 333 yards (5.6 average) and two touchdowns. The 25-year-old missed all of the 2017 season and has played in 18 games since being a […]

Hayden Hurst Puts On Muscle

Baltimore Ravens tight end Hayden Hurst said that he put on 20 pounds of muscle in the offseason and has something to prove in 2019. The 25-year-old first-round pick only had 13 receptions for 163 yards and one touchdown in 12 games in his rookie season. He lost time due to injury but still has […]

Willie Snead Loses Weight

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Willie Snead said he dropped 10 pounds this offseason as he was focused on getting more separation and adding speed. In a weak receiver room, Snead is expected to be Baltimore's No. 1 wide receiver this year after catching 62 passes for 651 yards and one touchdown in his first season […]

Marquise Brown, Miles Boykin Recovering From Injuries

Baltimore Ravens rookie wide receivers Marquise Brown (foot) and Miles Boykin (hamstring) continue to recover from their injuries. Brown is recovering from Lisfranc surgery and is hoping to return for training camp. Boykin has been out of organized team activities with a hamstring strain but is getting closer to a return. Both Brown and Boykin […]

Lamar Jackson To Run Less In 2019

Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti said that quarterback Lamar Jackson will decrease his number of rushes in his second full season. In his rookie year, Jackson set the NFL record for quarterbacks by rushing 147 times, moving past Bobby Douglass, who had 141 attempts in 1972. "I think you'll be pleasantly surprised that Lamar is […]

Ravens Owner Thinks A Lot Of Chris Moore

Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti thinks that wide receiver Chris Moore could be a "breakout candidate." At best, Moore would be the team's No. 2 wideout behind Willie Snead, but rookie Miles Boykin will have a say in that as well. The 25-year-old Moore hasn't had more than 19 catches, 248 yards or three scores […]

Tight End Best-Ball Tiered Rankings and Analysis (May 2019)

It used to be that we ignored the tight end position until the middle rounds of a draft. Now, it's not uncommon to see a name like Kelce in the first round and not bat an eyelash, while Ertz and Kittle are guaranteed to be taken within the top 30 picks. In best-ball leagues, you […]

When to Target QBs in Superflex Dynasty Leagues

Fantasy football has as many different variations and scoring formats as there are players in the NFL. The way to become a better player is to understand those formats and the required strategies to succeed. Recently, the Rotoballer NFL staff got together to conduct a mock draft for a dynasty startup with Superflex rules. You […]

Kyler Murray Is a QB1 in 2019 Redraft Leagues

For reasons that are completely understandable, the primary focus on rookies after they are drafted is on their long-term outlook, particularly as it pertains to keeper/dynasty formats. Much of the discussion centers around where a rookie should go in a rookie draft and how valuable he will be over the next few years. What about […]

Start of a Dynasty - Expert Mock Draft Review

I’ll be honest, playing re-draft leagues for years can give an avid fantasy footballer tunnel-vision. You tend to look for the immediate impact of a player. In Dynasty leagues, you have to have a different mindset (except for Frank Gore who’ll play for another 10 years with at least 200 touches each time). Just after […]

Lamar Jackson Still A Work In Progress

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson wasn't happy with how he performed in organized team activities this week. He has been trying to develop as a passer this offseason after completing only 58.2 percent of his passes as a rookie, including 159.1 yards passing per game as a starter. Jackson showed more velocity on his passes […]

Quarterback Best-Ball Tiered Rankings and Analysis (May 2019)

Quarterback has to be approached differently in best-ball as opposed to re-draft leagues. Whereas in most competitive leagues, you can get away with drafting one quarterback and streaming throughout the year if necessary, you don't have that luxury in a draft-only format. Bye weeks, injuries, and flat-out bad play must be accounted for during the […]

Tony Jefferson Not Practicing This Week

Baltimore Ravens safety Tony Jefferson (ankle) isn't practicing at organized team activities this week after having ankle surgery in the offseason, according to head coach John Harbaugh. The 27-year-old might not be ready for the start of training camp this summer. He had 74 tackles, one sack, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery and one […]

Veteran Wide Receivers Set to Lose Targets in 2019

It's a yearly cycle: new players enter the league and older players are either pushed out or start down a path that eventually leads to them being pushed out. No one -- not even the Larry Fitzgeralds of the world -- can play forever. Speaking of Larry Fitzgerald, let's turn to the subject of this […]

Ravens Signing Michael Floyd

The Baltimore Ravens are signing free-agent wide receiver Michael Floyd to an undisclosed deal on Friday, according to a source. Baltimore is a good landing spot for Floyd, but there's still no guarantee that he'll make the final roster out of training camp. The 13th overall pick in 2012 by the Cardinals, Floyd has played […]

Marquise Brown Won't Take Part In OTAs

Baltimore Ravens first-round wide receiver Marquise Brown (foot) won't be on the field for organized team activities next week as he recovers from Lisfranc surgery. Receiver Miles Boykin (hamstring), a third-rounder, will also be eased into action next week while he deals with a minor hamstring injury. The Ravens are very thin on the receiver […]

Veteran Running Backs Set to Lose Touches in 2019

Running backs these days have a shelf life about as long as raw chicken. Once running backs play several seasons in the NFL, the wear and tear of having linemen, linebackers and strong safeties tackling them bruises their bodies and slows their speed. That is why later in their careers they go from being fantasy […]

Recently, the RotoBaller staff put together our up-to-date rankings for dynasty formats. As you will see in dynasty formats as well as redraft leagues, the running back position is at a premium. Of the first 24 players overall, half of them are RBs. With the number of teams in the NFL to adopt the committee […]

Rookie Running Backs Destined for a Committee

There has been some great rookie running back draft classes in recent years. This year wasn't one of those. While there was a number of players that were solid options later in the draft, there were only a couple that have the opportunity to be full-time starters in Year 1. These are not those guys. […]
