2025 Fantasy Outlook
A fifth-round pick in 2024 out of Marshall, Ali didn't get his first offensive snap in the NFL until Week 15 as Derrick Henry dominated the Baltimore backfield, and Justice Hill proved to be a more than capable backup. Ali's speed is intriguing and he saw some action as a kickoff returner, but it's not clear what he can do that a healthy Keaton Mitchell can't do better. Ali could struggle to win a regular spot on the gameday roster in 2025. Read Past Outlooks

Dealing with injury
Ali suffered an undisclosed injury during Thursday's preseason game against the Colts, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Ali picked up 37 yards and a touchdown on nine carries in the contest, but he worked in behind Keaton Mitchell. That suggests he currently sits fourth on the running back depth chart in Baltimore, placing him on the roster bubble. The nature of the injury is unclear, but head coach John Harbaugh suggested the Ravens may need to add depth at running back, hinting at the possibility of Ali missing additional time.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Ali would have been an excellent addition under former Ravens offensive coordinator Greg Roman, but it's not quite as clear how the 206-pound former track athlete fits into Todd Monken's scheme. The fifth-round pick out of Marshall put up big numbers in 2021 and 2023, combining for 2,536 rushing yards, 40 total TDs and 73 receptions between the two seasons, with his speed allowing him to take full advantage when blockers opened up big holes. On the other hand, Ali didn't show much of a knack for breaking tackles or working through traffic, and injuries limited him to three games in 2022. A torn biceps suffered at the Senior Bowl prevented him from doing predraft workouts, leaving some questions unanswered as he heads to Baltimore to compete for a depth role behind Derrick Henry.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could see extra action Week 18
Ali could play a larger role Saturday against the Browns, as he doesn't have an injury designation while Justice Hill has been ruled out.
ANALYSIS
Ali injured his hip against the Texans in Week 17 but will make his return, while Hill will remain sidelined by a concussion that he sustained Week 16. Hill's also listed with an illness on the Week 18 injury report. Derrick Henry's likely to get the lion's share of carries against Cleveland, but Ali and Keaton Mitchell are both candidates for change-of-pace work in Hill's absence. Should Baltimore build a comfortable lead, the backups would likely get extended run, just as Mitchell did in Week 17.
