Baltimore Ravens — 2026 Fantasy Outlook
The case for drafting him
Baltimore has been one of the more active defenses in the league over the past three seasons. From 2023 through 2025, the Ravens averaged 47 sacks, 13.7 interceptions, 14 forced fumbles, and 9 fumbles recovered per year. The 2023 season stands out: 58 sacks, 18 interceptions, 16 forced fumbles, and 13 fumbles recovered, with only 280 points allowed. That kind of turnover and pass-rush production is the ceiling this unit has demonstrated it can reach. For a drafter who wants a DST with a proven track record of big-play volume, Baltimore's history gives a real foundation to point to.
What the model projects
The projection is 129.5 half-PPR fantasy points for the 2026 season. The draft value is -16.3, meaning the projection sits below replacement level at the DST position in a 12-team half-PPR format. That places Baltimore at #116 overall and DST8 among defenses, in Tier 9. The bye week is Week 13.

The range of outcomes
The recent three-season arc tells the story of the variance here. In 2023, Baltimore allowed 280 points and generated 58 sacks and 18 interceptions. In 2024, points allowed climbed to 361, sacks dipped to 53, and interceptions fell to 12. In 2025, points allowed reached 398, sacks dropped to 30, interceptions fell further to 11, and the unit gave up four games of 35-plus points. The three-year averages sit at 47 sacks, 13.7 interceptions, and 346.3 points allowed per season. The gap between the 2023 version and the 2025 version is wide, and that spread is exactly what the projection is working with. A return toward the 2023 profile would push Baltimore well above its current projection; a continuation of the 2025 trend would confirm the downside.
How to draft him
Baltimore does not have a market ADP available, meaning the unit is not being drafted consistently enough across platforms to produce one. At DST8 with a negative draft value, this is a late-round or streaming-tier option in most 12-team formats. The Week 13 bye is worth noting when setting your DST rotation. If you are targeting Baltimore, the 2023 upside is real, but the projection reflects three seasons of data, not just the best one.

Questions drafters ask
The projection is 129.5 points with a draft value of -16.3, placing Baltimore at DST8 and #116 overall in Tier 9. That is below replacement level in a 12-team half-PPR format, so the model does not support using a meaningful pick on Baltimore as a primary DST.
Significantly. Sacks went from 58 in 2023 to 53 in 2024 to 30 in 2025. Interceptions dropped from 18 to 12 to 11 over the same span. Points allowed rose from 280 to 361 to 398. The three-year averages are 47 sacks, 13.7 interceptions, and 346.3 points allowed per season.
There is no market ADP available for Baltimore, meaning the unit is not being drafted consistently enough across platforms to produce one. Plan accordingly if you intend to target them.
Baltimore's bye is Week 13. If you draft them as your primary DST, you will need a streaming option for that week, which is worth factoring into your roster construction.

Beyond the rankings
This page ranks the players. Nobody has ranked the people in your league.
Half your room drafts off a sheet like this one. The managers who cash every year aren't holding a better sheet; they have tendencies, and after enough seasons the tendencies are a book. Your league's own draft history is where it's written.
RotoAlpha reads it. Paste your past drafts, from any platform, and every manager in your league gets a profile: who reaches, who chases runs, who pays up for their own team. Then it sits with you on draft night with a plan that adapts pick by pick, knowing who is likely to reach next.
