There's no denying that the Baltimore Ravens' success hinges on Lamar Jackson, and, in truth, it is the same for other teams that also boast an elite quarterback.

But Lamar has it all in front of him in 2026. A new head coach, new coordinator, has seen his starting center and his two promising tight ends leave, and now he has to get this team back to the playoffs.

Talk about a tough task.

However, we know that if Lamar has a clean bill of health, the Ravens are a contender, and for Fox Sports' Ben Arthur, he has Baltimore's offense ranked as the seventh-best in football.

"With a healthy Lamar Jackson, the sky is the limit for the Ravens’ offense," Arthur wrote. "There have been some significant changes in Baltimore — playcaller Todd Monken is gone, as well as several key contributors — but the run game could see a boost with the additions of first-round pick Olaivavega Ioane and veteran John Simpson at guard.

"The Ravens also grabbed much needed wide receiver depth behind Zay Flowers in mid-round picks Ja’Kobi Lane (third round) and Elijah Sarratt (fourth round)."
