Baltimore Ravens DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson secured four of his seven targets for 48 yards and a touchdown in a 31-17 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Although Johnson finished third on the team in targets and receiving yards on Monday, he was arguably Pittsburgh's most impactful player. He was on the receiving end of quarterback Mason Rudolph's first touchdown pass of the contest that gave the Steelers life after quickly surrendering 21 points. The 27-year-old had an up-and-down season for fantasy purposes but was productive with six touchdowns in his 14 total games played. He figures to remain an integral piece of the Steelers' passing attack in the 2024-2025 campaign.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson closed the regular season with a strong performance and will look to find continued success against the Buffalo Bills in the wild-card round of the playoffs. Unfortunately, this contest is projected to be a low-scoring affair due to the harsh winter weather conditions in Buffalo. Elemental challenges aside, this is a difficult matchup for Johnson as the Bills have surrendered the seventh-fewest fantasy points to wideouts throughout the 2023-2024 campaign. Because Johnson frequently runs routes close to the line of scrimmage, he should still provide a relatively safe floor as a go-to guy for Mason Rudolph, but he can't be viewed as anything more than a middling fantasy WR2 on Sunday.

The Baltimore Ravens designated Pro Bowl tight end Mark Andrews (ankle) to return from Injured Reserve on Friday, and he was limited to individual drills at practice on Friday. Andrews' return to practice comes two months after he suffered a serious left-ankle injury, but he looked fine running routes and cutting during individual drills. "I think we're on the same timetable that we were on," head coach John Harbaugh said after Friday's practice. "We're in that range. We'll get into next week, and we'll have a better idea." Andrews has been quarterback Lamar Jackson's favorite target since they were drafted by the Ravens in 2018, but it remains to be seen how productive the tight end will be if he's able to play in the postseason. He led the team with 54.4 receiving yards per game and six touchdowns through the first 11 weeks of 2023.

The Baltimore Ravens designated tight end Mark Andrews (ankle) to return from Injured Reserve on Friday. Andrews suffered a season-ending ankle injury on Nov. 16 against the Cincinnati Bengals but he's returned to practice and could have a chance to return during the postseason, especially since the Ravens have a first-round bye and don't play their first playoff game until the Divisional Round next weekend. We'll have a better idea of the 28-year-old's status for the Divisional Round once he begins taking part in official practices next week. But getting Andrews back in any capacity would be a huge boost for the best team in football. Whether he'll be a productive fantasy option if he returns to play is another story. If Andrews doesn't return, Isaiah Likely will continue to serve as Baltimore's top pass-catching tight end.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (calf) is not participating in the first of three bye-week practices. The talented rookie did not play in the season finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but other notable starters like Odell Beckham Jr. and Lamar Jackson were held out, too. He is dealing with a calf injury, so the team is likely to be careful with him during the week off. Flowers accumulated 108 targets, 77 receptions, 858 yards, and five touchdowns during his debut campaign. He'll likely rest up this week as the Ravens wait to see who they will face in the Divisional Round next weekend at home.
