Ravens Trim to 53: UDFA QB Joe Fagnano Sticks, Chris Moore Cut Loose
Baltimore kept an undrafted rookie QB over Austin Reed and waved goodbye to WR Chris Moore, who managed just 39 PPR points across 14 games in 2025.
Still a top-tier QB1, but he's cooled off lately — no impact from these cuts.
- Fagnano is QB3 behind Jackson and Huntley
- Chris Moore terminated: 39 PPR pts in 2025
- Huntley posted 40 PPR pts over 5 games in 2025
- Ravens waived 28 players to reach 53
- Kone and Randall to IR with return designation
The Ravens got down to their 53-man roster, and the headline for depth-chart watchers is the quarterback room. Undrafted free agent Joe Fagnano earned a spot while Baltimore waived Austin Reed, leaving Fagnano as the third arm behind Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley. It's a nice story for the rookie, but he's buried on the depth chart and carries zero fantasy relevance unless disaster strikes twice.
The bigger name to hit the wire is receiver Chris Moore, whose contract Baltimore terminated. Moore's 2025 line tells the whole tale of why: 11 catches for 207 yards and a touchdown across 14 games, which added up to just 39 PPR points. Our model has him ranked #326 overall and #117 among wideouts — the exact profile of a player who gets cut on trim-down day.
The Depth Chart Reality
Baltimore waived 28 players in total, including inside linebacker Michael Barrett, center Nick Dawkins, and outside linebacker Adisa Isaac, plus terminated deals for Moore, cornerback Amani Oruwariye, safety K'Von Wallace and running back Jonathan Ward. None of them were on fantasy radars, so the roster churn itself doesn't move any needles for your lineup.
Two names landed on injured reserve with a return designation: cornerback Bilhal Kone and running back Adam Randall. The Randall move is worth a mental note only for deep dynasty leagues — a return tag means Baltimore hasn't given up on him, but he's not a redraft consideration right now.
The Fantasy Takeaway
Nothing here changes the value of the Ravens' fantasy assets you actually care about. Lamar Jackson remains the centerpiece — he put up 233 PPR points in just 13 games last season (2025), with 21 passing touchdowns and zero interceptions, good for our QB18 ranking at #39 overall. The one flag: his last five games of 2025 ran 3.7 fantasy points below his season average, so temper the ceiling expectations early.
Tyler Huntley, meanwhile, is nothing more than a handcuff-in-name-only — 40 PPR points over five games in 2025 and a #47 QB ranking. Fagnano is a name to file away, not a stash. Bottom line: draft Jackson with confidence but don't overpay expecting a return to peak form, and leave the rest of this Baltimore shuffle on the waiver wire.
