Fantasy expert consensus rankings (“ECR”) are starting to pop up across the Internet, giving managers an early glimpse into how the market might value hundreds of players this summer. As we look ahead to the 2026 season, here are the biggest Ravens bargains based on ECR.

In 2024, five Baltimore players averaged double-digit points, with Lamar Jackson (25.3 per contest) and Derrick Henry (19.8) leading the way. Last season, only one of those five players (Zay Flowers) upped his per-game numbers. The other four fell short of market expectations. Experts now face a dilemma: bet on a return to 2024 form, or view 2025 as a sign of things to come.
The 25-year-old Flowers seems to be still ascending, and the market has responded with a solid WR18 ECR. But that still makes him a likely bargain. Last year’s WR13 in points per game will return as the clear-cut alpha wideout on a team with a 32-year-old bell cow and slightly thinned-out TE corps. Coming off a career-high seven targets per outing, Flowers is primed for top-16 numbers, with a solid shot at cracking the top 12.
Meanwhile, Mark Andrews has been sliding toward fantasy unstartability, and last year, he hit rock bottom. His TE20 ECR assumes he’ll remain unstartable. I think this franchise’s decision to re-sign him late last year while letting Isaiah Likely walk three months later shows that they’re still invested in Andrews. That should translate into (at minimum) a modest statistical uptick and top-14 production.
Will Rashod Bateman ever deliver on his 2021 first-round draft value? Probably not. But that doesn’t mean he deserves a WR82 ECR. He was the WR50 in points per game two seasons ago and the WR59 in 2022. Unless you believe he’ll top out at around 40-400-4, Bateman will be a solid -- albeit low-ceiling–– bargain.
