Jaire Alexander is slated to practice next week as Baltimore readies for Week 1, joining a steady group that also includes Mark Andrews, Isaiah Likely, Xavier Guillory, Dayton Wade, Patrick Ricard, and Chidobe Awuzie as they return from injuries. The Ravens head to Buffalo with a healthier, deeper roster and a confident locker room following a productive preseason. The mix of veteran leadership and fresh depth heightens the team’s ceiling for the regular season and fantasy seasons alike.

Facing the Bills on Sept. 7 will test the rebuilt depth, but the mood around the Under Armour campus is upbeat. If the Ravens can stay healthy, the offense should feature Andrews and Likely heavily, while Wade and Guillory offer upside in the WR corps. Ricard’s return boosts the run game and goal-line looks, and Awuzie’s presence anchors a secondary that aims to contain one of the league’s premier offenses.
