Patrick Ricard
RB - Baltimore Ravens
Availability
Patrick Ricard caught his lone target for a four-yard touchdown in Sunday's 56-19 blowout win over the Miami Dolphins.
Fantasy Impact
Ricard doesn't get a chance to make plays that show up on the stat sheet very often, but on Sunday, he was able to haul in an nice touchdown on the goal line. He won't have fantasy relevance moving forward as a fullback, but Sunday's game was a rare time where the major impact that he has on this offense actually shows up on the stat sheet.
Patrick Ricard caught two passes for 31 yards in the Ravens 38-6 win over the Lions.
Fantasy Impact
The fullback does not have a carry on the season, but he has caught four passes. He remains off the fantasy radar.
The Ravens activated Patrick Ricard from the PUP list Monday.
Fantasy Impact
Ricard was working his way back from offseason hip surgery, but made his 2023 training camp debut Monday. His return will provide the Ravens with their Pro Bowl fullback to help block on the line or in the backfield for the Lamar Jackson and the Ravens’ running backs.
According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Baltimore Ravens FB Patrick Ricard is starting training camp on the PUP list.
Fantasy Impact
This move was expected from Ricard, who had offseason hip surgery. Ricard has been an important part of the Ravens’ offensive system in years past under Greg Roman’s run-oriented offense. His role will be up in the air now that Todd Monken is in charge and the team is anticipated to be more pass-oriented. Ricard, a four-time Pro Bowler, has just 40 career receptions.
Baltimore Ravens veteran FB Patrick Ricard will begin July's training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list following offseason hip surgery.
Fantasy Impact
Ricard will still count against the team's roster spots but can be removed at any time. He will also be allowed to participate with the team but cannot practice. Ricard is one of the league's best run-blocking FBs and is an important part of what made the Ravens a successful rushing attack for years. At 29, he enters his seventh season in the NFL and could see a potential role change under Baltimore's new offensive coordinator, making his offseason role important for the Ravens.
