Marlon Humphrey Expected To Play In Week 5
Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey (foot) is expected to make his season debut in Sunday's AFC North showdown with the Steelers. The Pro Bowler suffered a foot injury and underwent surgery in August, costing him the first four games of the 2023-24 campaign. He has been a potent defensive option for Baltimore since entering the […]
Kenyan Drake Activated For Week 5
Baltimore Ravens running back Kenyan Drake was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's AFC North showdown against the Steelers. Keaton Mitchell (shoulder) isn't ready to play, and Melvin Gordon III will remain on the practice squad, so a roster spot was up for grabs. However, with Gus Edwards available, Drake probably won't get […]

Justin Tucker Should See More Attempts In Week 5
Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker hasn't been as great of a fantasy option as he normally has been in recent seasons through four weeks. He has posted one double-digit fantasy performance and didn't see a single field goal attempt last week despite making four extra points. In a divisional rivalry matchup against the Steelers, however, […]
The Ravens Defense A Top Option Against Steelers
The Baltimore Ravens defense/special teams comes into Week 5 as a great streaming option if they're not already rostered.

Their games […]
Zay Flowers Has WR2 Potential In Week 5
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers has seen a great target share, especially as a rookie pass-catcher. This remains true even when Mark Andrews returned after missing the first game of the season.

Mark Andrews Draws A Tough Matchup In Week 5
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews returned to the top of the position last week with a 25-point outburst against the Browns. Now, he shifts his attention to a different division rival in the Pittsburgh Steelers who have only allowed an average of 7.0 fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends which is the […]
Rashod Bateman No Longer On The Injury Report
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (hamstring) cleared the injury report on Friday after being a full participant at practice all week.

Gus Edwards A Shaky Flex Play In Week 5
