The Baltimore Ravens selected WR Elijah Sarratt in the fourth round of the NFL draft. What is his realistic 2026 fantasy outlook, and how might his presence impact Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, and Baltimore’s wideouts?
For the third time since 2019, this franchise drafted two WRs in the first four rounds. Seven years ago, they took Marquise Brown and Miles Boykin. Two years later, it was Rashod Bateman and Tylan Wallace. Those four guys combined have enjoyed only one 800+ yard season. While football is about more than stats, for fantasy purposes, these were not exceptional investments.

This year, Baltimore did it again, snagging Ja’Kobi Lane in the third round and then Sarratt a round later. On a team with a quarterback who throws 650+ times for 4,500+ yards, one of these rookies could have broken through despite beginning camp no better than third on the depth chart.
Instead, with run-friendly Lamar Jackson at the helm, the Ravens seemingly inexplicably put meaningful draft capital into two receivers who might not be relevant until 2027 or 2028 — and that assumes one of them becomes a strong #2 WR in a more prolific passing attack.
The market understands this. Aside from Zay Flowers (WR18 ADP), there are no other Baltimore wideouts inside the top 110. Sarratt is sitting at 125, trailing the similarly “undraftable” Bateman and Devontez Walker. Lane is at 133.
Not surprisingly, it’s an ugly fantasy situation. In the absence of a pass-heavy offense, Sarratt must push past Bateman to have a shot at top-70 production. Manager seeking respectable ceilings should look elsewhere.
