The Baltimore Ravens<\/a> offense was all that you could have dreamed of in 2024.\u00a0 They were 1st in yards per game, rush yards per play, pass yards per play, and in the red zone.\u00a0 They finished 2nd in interception rate as well as 3rd in goal-to-go percent and points per game.\u00a0 It was stellar.<\/p>\n

QB:\u00a0 Lamar Jackson<\/p>\n

Lamar Jackson<\/a> put up video game-type of production last year.\u00a0 For the first time in his career, he started all 17 games, threw for 4,000+ yards with 41 TDs and only 4 INTs.\u00a0 That\u2019s an insane 10-to-1 TD-to-INT ratio.\u00a0 That\u2019s not even including the 900+ rushing yards and additional TDs on the ground.<\/p>\n

RB:\u00a0 Derrick Henry<\/p>\n

Derrick Henry<\/a> was 79 yards short of becoming the only RB in NFL history with two seasons of 2,000 yards rushing.\u00a0 That\u2019s a club that only has 9 members in it all-time.\u00a0 He tied his career-high of 18 total TDs.\u00a0 Henry kept it going in the playoffs with 270 rush yards and 3 TDs in just two games.<\/p>\n

RB:\u00a0 Justice Hill<\/p>\n

Hill showed well as the receiving back for the Ravens with a statline of 42 \/ 383 \/ 3 in the first 14 games of the season.\u00a0 In a limited role as a rusher, he never recorded more than 5 carries in any game but averaged 4.9 ypc with 228 rush yards and a TD.<\/p>\n

WR:\u00a0 Zay Flowers<\/p>\n

Flowers has averaged right at 1,000 receiving yards through his first 2 NFL seasons.\u00a0 The biggest change in 2024 from his rookie season the prior year was in his yards per reception, improving by more than 3 yards.\u00a0 He had a 5-game stretch in October and into the first week of November with 4 games of 110+ receiving yards.<\/p>\n

WR:\u00a0 Rashod Bateman<\/p>\n

Bateman had his breakout year in 2024 with a stat line of 45 \/ 756 \/ 9.\u00a0 Before the 9 TDs last year, his previous high in his first 3 seasons was 2.\u00a0 He also had a TD in each playoff game.\u00a0 Among qualified WRs, Bateman finished 1st in the NFL in average length per reception (12.7) and 2nd in yards per reception (16.8) in the regular season.<\/p>\n

WR:\u00a0 DeAndre Hopkins<\/p>\n

DeAndre Hopkins<\/a> started 126 of 128 games in his first 8 years in the NFL.\u00a0 The next 2 years, he\u2019d only play in 19 of 34 before bouncing back to play in 33 of 34 the last 2 seasons.\u00a0 While he\u2019s no longer the #1 receiving threat, he has put up an average of 66 \/ 834 \/ 6 the last 2 years.<\/p>\n

TE:\u00a0 Mark Andrews<\/p>\n

Mark Andrews<\/a> didn\u2019t have a TD catch in the first 5 games of the season, but ended the year with a TD in each of the last 6 regular-season games.\u00a0 He ended the year on a sour note with key drops in the playoffs.\u00a0 How he will respond is the big question for 2025.<\/p>\n

TE:\u00a0 Isaiah Likely<\/p>\n

Likely finished last year 3rd in receiving TDs and 4th in receiving yards for the Ravens.\u00a0 He led the Ravens in their 2 playoff games with 126 receiving yards on 7 catches with a TD.\u00a0 His role has remained consistent over his first 3 years in the league, but the addition of Hopkins to the top quartet of Flowers, Andrews, Bateman, and Likely means someone is losing targets.<\/p>\n

BREAKOUT PLAYER:\u00a0 Zay Flowers<\/p>\n

Flowers has been very good for the Ravens in his first 2 seasons, but we haven\u2019t seen his best yet.\u00a0 He\u2019ll put it all together in 2025 and be a legit #1 threat.\u00a0 He\u2019ll have 135 targets, 70% catch rate with 13 yards per reception, and finish the year with a statline of 95 \/ 1,200 \/ 8.<\/p>\n

BOLD PREDICTION:\u00a0 Lamar Jackson<\/p>\n

Jackson is coming off his best season, his first with a full season of starts and a multitude of weapons.\u00a0 Expectations will be at an all-time high.\u00a0 Jackson missed 5 games in 2021 and 2022 before starting 33 of 34 games the last 2 seasons.\u00a0 He\u2019ll take a step back and finish the year with 25 TD passes \/ 8 INTs.\u00a0 It\u2019ll be a reduction of 16 TD passes and an increase to double the INTs from 2024.<\/p>\n
