The Ravens’ roster underwent significant changes during the early part of the NFL off-season and the first wave of free agency.

Baltimore signed Justin Madubuike, one of the league’s best defensive linemen, to an extension. After inking Madubuike to a deal, Baltimore landed Derrick Henry for two years and $16 million.

However, the Ravens suffered significant free-agent losses. Patrick Queen (Steelers), Geno Stone (Bengals), and Gus Edwards (Chargers) were among eight free agents to sign elsewhere. Baltimore also traded Morgan Moses to the Jets and released Tyus Bowser in a cost-cutting move.

With the second wave of free agency heating up and updated signings of cornerback Ka’Dar Hollman, linebacker Chris Board, and offensive guard Josh Jones, we’re releasing an early prediction of the starting lineups for Week 1.

Jackson won his second MVP award in 2023 and should be even more dominant in his second year in Offensive Coordinator Todd Monken’s system.

Henry’s arrival in Baltimore is a plus for Ricard, who’ll maintain his role as the lead blocking back for the NFL’s most powerful running back of the past decade.

Flowers had 77 catches for 858 yards and 5 touchdowns in his rookie season, and he’ll look to be even more productive with Derrick Henry arriving.

After three NFL seasons, Bateman has produced just four touchdown receptions in 35 games played.

Bateman started 12 of 16 games last season, logging 32 catches for 367 yards and one touchdown on 56 targets.

This will be his final chance to prove he’s an NFL-caliber starting wide receiver.

Oweh missed four games with an ankle injury earlier in the year, but finished the year with five sacks, and we’ll have the opportunity to mirror Justin Madubuike and Patrick Queen in 2024.
