Baltimore Ravens DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (concussion, illness) was upgraded to a full practice on Wednesday after he kicked off the week on Tuesday with a limited practice. Hill missed the final two games of the regular season due to a concussion that he suffered in Week 16 while also dealing with an illness. It appears the 27-year-old is feeling much better, although he still will need clearance from an independent neurologist later this week to return to play on Saturday night when the team hosts the visiting division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers in the wild-card round of the postseason. When healthy, the pass-catching specialist has limited fantasy upside as the change-of-pace option behind lead back Derrick Henry. However, the Ravens were the highest-scoring offense in the NFL in 2024, and Hill did set career-highs in receptions (42) and receiving yards (383) in 15 games.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (knee) is not practicing on Wednesday due to a knee injury, according to team reporter Jameson Hensley. It was reported earlier on Wednesday that Flowers is unlikely to play in Saturday's AFC Wild Card game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, so this comes as no surprise. The second-year pro out of Boston College suffered a knee sprain in the Week 18 win over the Cleveland Browns. Needless to say, the timing of the injury is unfortunate, but Baltimore will still be significant favorites to defeat Pittsburgh, a team coming off four consecutive losses. Assuming Flowers does not play, Mark Andrews, Rashod Bateman, Isaiah Likely, and Justice Hill (concussion) are candidates to see extra looks in the passing attack led by Lamar Jackson.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (knee), who missed Tuesday's practice, is a long shot to play on Saturday evening against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers in the wild-card round of the playoffs. Flowers is pretty sore while dealing with a sprained right knee that he suffered in the win over the division-rival Cleveland Browns in the Week 18 regular-season finale last Saturday. The good news is that Flowers could have a chance to play in the Divisional Round next week, but the Ravens would need to take care of business and beat the Steelers this weekend to advance. This is big news for the highest-scoring offense in the NFL. Baltimore will look for receivers Rashod Bateman, Nelson Agholor and Tylan Wallace to step up, while tight ends Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely will both become more attractive in DFS playoff lineups.

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (concussion/illness) returned to practice on Tuesday after missing last week's game against the Cleveland Browns with a concussion and illness. Hill suffered a concussion in the Week 16 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. While the 27-year-old has played second-fiddle to Derrick Henry this season, he has been important in the passing game with 42 receptions for 228 yards and a touchdown in 2024. With Zay Flowers (knee) banged up and at risk of missing the Wild Card matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Hill could be asked to do more as a pass-catcher on Saturday. The statuses of both players are worth monitoring.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (knee) did not practice on Tuesday after suffering a knee injury in the Week 18 win over the Cleveland Browns. The second-year player appeared in all 17 games during the regular season, catching 74 passes for 1,059 yards and five touchdowns. He was named to his first career Pro Bowl last week. Needless to say, the timing of his injury is far from ideal, and his status should be monitored ahead of Saturday's Wild Card matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. If he cannot play, tight end Mark Andrews and wide receiver Rashod Bateman should see additional targets from Lamar Jackson. Flowers' injury status could loom large in whether Baltimore can get to the Super Bowl for the first time since Jackson took over at quarterback.
