The AFC North is one of the best divisions in football year after year. In 2023, they saw three of their four teams make the playoffs and one – the Ravens – make it to the AFC title game.
As we turn toward 2024 and look at all of the changes in this division, the one thing that comes to mind for me is, “Here we go again.” We dive into the division and examine the dynasty draft outlook for each team. Let’s get into it.

Baltimore Ravens
Fantasy Depth Chart
- QB: Lamar Jackson
- RB: Derrick Henry, Keaton Mitchell, Rasheen Ali (R)
- WR: Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, Devontez Walker (R)
- TE: Mark Andrews, Isaiah Likely
The Ravens finished atop the AFC North last year with a 13-4 record and earned the No. 1 seed in the playoffs. They easily defeated the Texans in the second round before losing to the Chiefs in the AFC Championship. The team finished with 6,296 total offensive yards, the fourth-most in the NFL. They were first in rushing (2,661 yards) and 21st in passing (3,635 yards).
For fantasy purposes, the Ravens are a team with great potential. Lamar Jackson is a top-five QB and Mark Andrews is a top-three TE in most formats. The addition of Derrick Henry to an already run-heavy team should also bode well, even if he is a little older. The team lost both J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards to the Chargers, so Keaton Mitchell should see some carries this year again. At receiver, it’s pretty light after Zay Flowers, but Rashod Bateman could take a step up and is worth rostering in deeper leagues.
In terms of rookies, the Ravens once again got tremendous value in the draft. They added WR Devontez Walker from North Carolina and RB Rasheen Ali of Marshall on Day 3, but both could contribute at various points this season.
For dynasty, all of these players should be rostered everywhere on the outside chance that they once again lead the league in yards or injury hits as it did to Andrews last year. The Ravens are easily the best team in the AFC North again and possibly in the entire AFC.
