by

The Baltimore Ravens continue to be a powerhouse in the regular season, and with a stronger lineup in 2025, fans hope Lamar Jackson and the franchise can shake off their postseason woes.

As training camps get underway, the Ravens were well represented in PFSN’s list of Top 100 players for the 2025 season. Let’s take a look at each player who made the cut.

Which Ravens Made PFSN’s Top 100 Players List?

QB Lamar Jackson, No. 1

Lamar Jackson leads the pack for Baltimore as well as the whole league, as he is ranked the No. 1 NFL player heading into the 2025 season. The dual-threat quarterback had the best season of his career in 2024, and PFSN’s Stats and Insights team is expecting an equally impressive, if not better, 2025 season from the two-time MVP.

“Jackson’s command of the Ravens’ offense was unmatched, leading the league with a staggering 45 passing touchdowns (including playoffs) and finishing fifth in passing yards with 4,601,” PFSN wrote.

“Jackson’s growth as a passer stood out, as he ranked first in yards per attempt (8.8) and posted a league-best EPA per dropback of +0.30. He also finished first in our QB+ metric and had a very solid case to be considered the league’s MVP.”

Baltimore’s lack of playoff success is the only red flag on Jackson’s resume, and a 3-5 record doesn’t scream elite status.

But for an offense that has yet to boast an alpha WR1, the sky is the limit. With Henry leading Baltimore’s dominant rushing attack and weapons like Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, Isaiah Likely, Mark Andrews, and veteran addition DeAndre Hopkins, Jackson is well-positioned to top last year’s production and silence his critics come playoff time.

CB Marlon Humphrey, No. 7

Marlon Humphrey, another player who has spent his entire career with the Ravens, continued to be a vital cog of the Ravens’ defense last season and earned his second All-Pro and fourth Pro Bowl honor. PFSN ranked him the seventh-best player in the league, and the best cornerback in the league.

“The four-time Pro Bowl cornerback was targeted 87 times (17th-most among CBs) because he consistently drew top assignments, and he responded with 16 combined interceptions and pass breakups (fourth),” PFSN wrote.

“Humphrey also continued to flash a willingness to support the run and make tackles in space, recording 24 defensive stops on the year. While his receptions allowed percentage (62.1%) and yards per reception allowed (4.32) left room to be desired, his physicality helped limit yards after the catch and was exactly what this defense needed.”

Humphrey surrendered just three touchdowns last season and finished with an impressive 67 total tackles (50 solo) and two forced fumbles. He will continue to lead the Ravens’ secondary in 2025.

RB Derrick Henry, No. 24

Derrick Henry has earned the moniker “King Henry” as he enters his 10th NFL season. Despite being 31 years old, he is showing no signs of slowing down.

He is fresh off his fifth Pro Bowl appearance, and PFSN ranked him the best running back in the NFL and the 24th-best player heading into the 2025 season.

“Henry posted the best RB+ score in 2024, as his efficiency was unmatched. He averaged 5.9 yards per carry and forced 89 missed tackles, the most of any running back,” PFSN’s Stats and Insights team wrote.

“His 3.6 yards after contact per rush ranked fifth, showing his trademark power and elusiveness, a skill that has yet to fade as the seasons pass. Despite his heavy workload, Henry fumbled just three times.”

At an age when most running backs see their production drop, Henry continues to rack up 1,000-yard seasons and will be looking for his fourth consecutive in 2025.

S Kyle Hamilton, No. 35

The Ravens are a Super Bowl-caliber team because both their defense and offense feature elite talent. Joining Humphrey as a prominent force in their secondary is safety Kyle Hamilton, who’s pushed himself into the top 35 players in the league in just three seasons.

The Ravens’ All-Pro recorded a career-high 107 total tackles, including four for a loss in 2024. He also posted 42 defensive stops, ranking third among all safeties.

Hamilton excels at stopping the run, but he also performed well in coverage. Opposing quarterbacks targeted him 74 times, the fourth-most among safeties. Still, Hamilton limited opponents to just 7.5 yards per reception (ranking fifth in the NFL), tallied nine breakups, and allowed only two touchdowns.

“Hamilton’s versatility and range allow him to impact the game in multiple ways. The Ravens head into 2025 with arguably the most talented secondary in the league, and Hamilton will be leading the way,” PFSN wrote.

LB Roquan Smith, No. 49

Roquan Smith has arguably been the best linebacker in the NFL in the last three years. He has made the Pro Bowl and first All-Pro teams in each of the three seasons.

PFSN ranked him the 49th-best player in the league, and he continues to be a vocal leader of the Ravens’ top defense.

“Smith earned his third first-team All-Pro selection after recording 154 tackles (81 solo), 1.5 sacks, four pass breakups, one forced fumble, and an interception. The former Georgia standout has posted at least 100 tackles in each of his seven NFL seasons. His 57 defensive stops ranked seventh among linebackers,” PFSN wrote.

“Smith also excelled in space in 2024, finishing with a solid 6.8% missed tackle rate (12th-best). Baltimore’s defense is loaded heading into 2025, but Smith’s presence in the middle is a stabilizing force.”

DT Nnamdi Madubuike, No. 60

Nnamdi Madubuike is the Ravens’ sixth player to make the list and fourth defensive star. He is coming off his second Pro Bowl appearance after recording 43 tackles, 11 tackles for loss, and 6.5 sacks. His 60 pressures ranked fifth among all NFL defensive tackles, finishing with a 9.82% pressure rate.

Madubuike was also a force in the run game, recording 30 defensive stops (13th in the NFL).

“His 2024 statistical output regressed compared to the previous year, but he was still impactful beyond the raw numbers,” PFSN wrote. “Even though he took a step back in 2024, he undoubtedly has the physical tools to climb to another tier at the position.”

Are the Ravens Poised For a Deep Playoff Run?

No one can doubt the Ravens’ pedigree in the regular season, but they somehow always seem to stumble when it comes to the playoffs. It was a similar story last season, and pressure is building on Jackson and Co. to deliver in the postseason.

The Ravens remain the kings of the AFC North, but the real challenge lies in getting past powerhouses like the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs when it matters most. Clutch performances from the likes of Jackson, Humphrey, Henry, Hamilton, Smith, and Madubuike will be the key to getting past the AFC juggernauts standing in their way.
