Team news: Baltimore Ravens

Per the article, "Edwards, by the way, is not expected to be ready for the start of the season."

Related Players: J.K. Dobbins, Tyler Badie, Mike Davis

While Dobbins isn't likely to be seen much before the season-opener, expect to see a lot out of Badie, Justice Hill, and Corey Clement in the preseason while the Ravens get a better read on Dobbins' health. Clement seems be the special teams specialist while Hill is reportedly on the right side of the roster bubble.

Barring any setbacks, this means Dobbins is on course to play Week 1 against the Jets.

Lamar Jackson will always cap the ceiling of any running back associated with his offense, but the RB1 in Baltimore still has plenty of upside. It would seem that the Ravens are more than likely to return to their extreme run-heavy rate in 2022 after finishing 32nd and 27th in neutral pass rate over the 2019 and 2020 seasons. If Dobbins has a full, healthy season, he will be a steal in the fifth round of fantasy drafts.

The Athletic's Ravens beat writer Jeff Zrebiec believes WR James Proche should see "significant opportunities" this season.

"If he’s healthy, there is no reason why he won’t get significant opportunities this year, as he’s emerged as a leader of a young and unproven receiving group that believes it’s ready to make an impact," said Zrebiec. The Ravens certainly need someone to step up after trading Marquise Brown to the Arizona Cardinals and Proche has had a strong camp thus far. Proche was also stuck behind Sammy Watkins and Rashod Bateman. While Bateman is still around, Watkins is now in Green Bay, opening up targets and chances for Proche, who was a nice receiver at SMU.

Proche is going very late, if at all, in Underdog drafts. But Lamar Jackson will need players to throw to and if Baltimore is going to give Proche opportunities, he's worth considering as a flyer late.

J.K. Dobbins looks eager & close to to return to practice.

Dobbins is on the PUP list but other reports say he was looking to get on the practice field today. It's a good sign his return could be sooner than later. Fantasy managers are rightfully excited about Dobbins, who is returning from a torn ACL. He’ll have a full year of recovery prior to Week 1, so he should be good to go. Dobbins will likely be the lead back but share work with Gus Edwards, and the Ravens aren’t known for utilizing their running backs in the passing game with much regularity. Dobbins is a very talented back, but his upside is capped as long as Lamar Jackson and/or Edwards remains healthy.

As Ravens open training camp this week, RB Gus Edwards (knee) is considered questionable for Week 1 (season opener at New York Jets).

There are a lot of questions around the Ravens RBs right now. Edwards is coming back from a torn ACL that he suffered in September and kept him out all of last season. The Ravens are hoping Dobbins (knee) will be back for the regular season. Baltimore signed Davis and Clement and drafted Badie. A lot will need to be sorted out before the regular season starts as far as the Baltimore backfield goes. Assuming their studs are healthy and ready to go, Baltimore is expected to be a run-heavy team in 2022.

Lamar Jackson has practiced the past three days with the rookies.

Despite the lack of a long-term deal, the expectation is Jackson will practice for Wednesday’s first full-team practice, Hensley went on to say. He added there have been instances where players have not participated in camp due to contract issues.

Ravens HC John Harbaugh addressed reporters Thursday, and among the topics were the rehabs of RBs J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards. Harbaugh told reporters it is too soon to tell if they will be ready for training camp, and therefore the season.

The Ravens have run with a loaded backfield for a while and the statuses of Dobbins and Edwards are leans to why Mike Davis was added to the RB room. Rookie Tyler Badie is also going to be in the mix early on as a Ravens draftee. Justice Hill will be a member of the Ravens forever at this point.

RB Mike Davis is signing with the Baltimore Ravens. He was released by the Falcons last week.

The Ravens are once again doing their best to be a backfield you avoid. Sure, a few of these backs will be cut or not utilized but the idea of carrying a fistful of RBs on the roster that have NFL experience and success is frustrating.

The Falcons have released RB Mike Davis.

Davis could not replicate his 2020 season as Christian McCaffrey's injury replacement and will now be looking to compete for a roster spot elsewhere. Patterson and Williams stand to see the most work as of now with recently-drafted Allgeier new to the team.
