Baltimore shifts to youth at kicking, releasing Tucker amid misconduct allegations and a career-low 73.3% in 2024, then drafting Tyler Loop to handle duties during Tucker’s 10-week suspension. Loop, a former Arizona punter turned kicker, inherits a high-stakes assignment as the Ravens chase a title. Tucker remains a free agent with reinstatement set for Nov. 11, making Loop’s early stint pivotal for the team’s FG and kickoff game in Weeks 1–10.

Fantasy angle: Loop could be a short-term streamer in Baltimore if he proves reliable right away, but Tucker’s uncertain return looms over the long-term outlook. The Ravens’ optimal FG chances and kickoff touchbacks hinge on Loop’s consistency during Tucker’s absence.
