Baltimore Ravens DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Nelson Agholor (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol and missed his second straight day of practice this week on Wednesday. Agholor suffered a concussion in the Week 15 win over the New York Giants and is now looking unlikely to play on a quick turnaround this Saturday against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers. Rashod Bateman (foot) also popped up on this week's injury report on Wednesday, so Baltimore's receiving corps is a little banged up heading into a crucial Week 16 divisional battle. If both Agholor and Bateman are out, expected to see more of Tylan Wallace and Devontez Walker in three-wide sets with Zay Flowers. Agholor, 31, has only 14 receptions (29 targets) for 231 yards and two touchdowns in 14 games this year and wouldn't be in consideration for a lineup spot in fantasy if he was healthy.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (foot) was added to Thursday's Week 16 injury report after putting in a limited practice. Bateman could now be up in the air to play on a short week this Saturday against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers, but we'll have a better idea of his status when the Ravens release their final injury report for the week on Thursday. The 25-year-old is having the best season of his career and is coming off a three-catch, 80-yard, two-touchdown performance in the Week 15 win over the New York Giants. With Nelson Agholor (concussion) looking unlikely to play this weekend, Bateman's status is more important for the Ravens. If he were to be inactive, Tylan Wallace and Devontez Walker would be thrust into starting roles alongside Zay Flowers. Bateman will be a touchdown-dependent WR4/flex, if active, in a tough matchup against Pittsburgh.

The Baltimore Ravens announced on Monday that recently suspended wide receiver Diontae Johnson and the team have mutually agreed to excuse him from team activities this week. Johnson was suspended for the Week 15 win over the New York Giants due to conduct detrimental to the team when he refused to enter the Week 13 contest against the Philadelphia Eagles. The 28-year-old has been unhappy with his role in Baltimore since being acquired at the deadline from the Carolina Panthers and now is unlikely to play in Week 16 when the team takes on the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday. In four games active with Baltimore, he has just one catch on five targets for six yards. Johnson should have been dropped from fantasy rosters long ago, and it remains to be seen if he'll even see the field again in 2024.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews has etched his name in the franchise's record books with his touchdown catch in the lopsided victory over the New York Giants. After finishing the win with two catches for 24 yards and a touchdown, he moved into first place for most touchdowns in franchise history with 48 and counting. After the Ravens went up 28-7 near the end of the third quarter, a lot of the reserves came in and they started to waste some more time. So, Andrews didn't get a chance to notch any more scores. He'll go up against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 16, and he'll look to redeem himself from his last performance against them.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers saw a team-high seven targets during their victory over the New York Giants. He was able to bring in six of them (also a team-high) but finished with the third-most receiving yards (53) behind Rashod Bateman and Justice Hill. While Flowers did not find the end zone this afternoon, the sophomore wideout still turned in a solid fantasy output. Flowers has now seen at least seven targets in each of his past three contests. However, this was his first time tallying six receptions since Week 8. Given his role in the Baltimore passing attack, Flowers should continue to be viewed as a high-floor WR2 with a high target share. However, he has only eclipsed 20.0 PPR points three times this season. He has a tougher task ahead of him next weekend, facing the Pittsburgh Steelers.
