Baltimore’s 2025 rookies logged extended action in Week 3’s MNF loss to Detroit. Malaki Starks posted a career-high 8 tackles but was exposed in coverage; Mike Green and Teddye Buchanan handled big defensive workloads and made several plays. Tyler Loop connected on all three extra points but kickoff returns continued to threaten field position. LaJohntay Wester and Reuben Lowery contributed mostly on special teams, with Aeneas Peebles flashing interior pressure. Carson Vinson was inactive.

Lions highlights included Jahmyr Gibbs’ 4-yard touchdown on fourth down and Sam LaPorta’s size‑and‑skill matchup. Goff steered the offense efficiently, while the Ravens’ rookies continued to show growth and learning curves as they push for more snaps next week.

Ravens face Detroit in Week 3 with a disrupted interior after Nnamdi Madubuike is ruled out with a neck issue. Baltimore leans on Travis Jones, rookie Aeneas Peebles, and Brent Urban as they navigate line rotations while eyeing potential DT upgrades if the injury lingers. Several teammates—Isaiah Likely, Patrick Ricard, Rasheen Ali, Marlon Humphrey and Kyle Van Noy—are also out or limited, tightening roster decisions ahead of Monday night.

Detroit counters with uncertainty of its own: Marcus Davenport is out, while Jack Campbell and Taylor Decker are listed as questionable. The injury dynamics set up a game that could swing on defensive depth, rush angles, and how fantasy rosters value Ravens’ DTs and Lions’ pass game under pressure.

Baltimore rolled to a 31-13 preseason win over Dallas, and the storylines offered real fantasy-intrigue. Tez Walker flashed early for Dallas, drawing six targets in the opening period and converting five catches for 46 yards as the Cowboys’ starters stagnated. Cooper Rush, meanwhile, faced a unsettled night with two interceptions as the Ravens capitalized on a sluggish opponent to carve out offensive highlights.

Dallas’ offense never found rhythm in the first half, while Baltimore leaned on defense, kicking game, and depth. Andrew Booth Jr. stood out for Dallas with a pick-six and tight coverage, and Ravens rookies Aeneas Peebles and Mike Green showed disruptive pass-rush potential. Ravens kicker Tyler Loop nailed multiple long attempts, underscoring a few obvious fantasy depth notes as PFF grades poured in after the review.
