Baltimore lands second in The Athletic's front-office power ranking, a nod to culture, stability, and smart talent evaluation that executives and coaches alike notice.

Lamar Jackson anchors an offense with Derrick Henry in a backfield, plus Rashod Bateman, Zay Flowers, and Devontez Walker at receiver. The defense features Roquan Smith, Kyle Hamilton, and Marlon Humphrey. With DeCosta's blueprint and Harbaugh's leadership, Baltimore is positioned for a quick, high-upside rebound, and peers like Hopkins and Alexander weigh in as respected voices.

The Ravens have one of the NFL's deepest WR rooms, led by Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman with DeAndre Hopkins adding veteran playmaking. Devontez Walker, a 2024 fourth-rounder, is emerging as a true big-play threat, complementing Hopkins and Flowers as Baltimore expands its aerial attack.

In Week 2 versus Cleveland, Walker posted two receptions and two touchdowns, boosting Baltimore's scoring pace while Hopkins remained a reliable deep threat. The quartet of Hopkins, Flowers, Walker and Bateman has produced four TDs in two games, signaling a high ceiling for a diverse, score‑heavy offense that fantasy managers will want to monitor closely.
