The Baltimore Ravens, coming off a strong 14-5 season, are aiming for another shot at the Super Bowl after falling short in the AFC championship game last year. Despite facing some key losses and changes in the offseason, the Ravens remain optimistic about their championship prospects as long as star quarterback Lamar Jackson stays healthy. The AFC North division is expected to be challenging, especially if division rivals like Cincinnati and Cleveland have their key players back from injury.

The team has added some new faces to their roster, including four-time Pro Bowl running back Derrick Henry to complement Jackson’s skills. Draft picks like cornerback Nate Wiggins and tackle Roger Rosengarten are also expected to contribute significantly. Safety Eddie Jackson joined the team at the start of training camp to bolster the defense.

However, the Ravens had to bid farewell to several starters, including some key players on both the offensive line and defense. Pro Bowl linebacker Patrick Queen and pass rusher Jadeveon Clowney are among the notable departures. Despite these losses, the team retains strengths in key positions like quarterback, defensive tackle, linebacker, and safety.

Areas of concern for the Ravens include the offensive line’s ability to protect Jackson and the receiving group’s consistency. The team will need to see improved production from players like Odafe Oweh and David Ojabo to make up for the departure of Jadeveon Clowney. In camp, there have been developments with lineman Daniel Faalele transitioning to play as a guard.

Fantasy football enthusiasts might want to keep an eye on Derrick Henry, who could capitalize on red-zone opportunities despite being in his thirties. With Gus Edwards excelling in red zone rushing last season, Jackson’s running game could also provide fantasy points for fans. The BetMGM Sportsbook has set the Ravens’ odds of winning the Super Bowl at 10-1, with an over/under wins line of 10 1/2 for the season.
