The Ravens signed Jenkins to a one-year contract Friday.
ANALYSIS
Jenkins is a veteran of 13 NFL campaigns who played the previous two years with Las Vegas. He logged a career-high 581 defensive snaps while starting all 17 regular-season games with the Raiders last year, totaling 46 tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and two defensed passes. Baltimore is set up front with Nnamdi Madubuike, Travis Jones and Broderick Washington, so Jenkins will likely work in a rotational role with his new squad.

Jenkins earned a one-year, $3.25 million contract extension this offseason after racking up a career-high 61 tackles (24 solo) during his first campaign with the Raiders in 2023. Despite climbing in age with his 35th birthday occurring in July, expect Jenkins to start at nose tackle for Las Vegas again this season, while newcomer Christian Wilkins also bolsters the interior of the defensive line.
Jenkins rejoins Miami after having played with the team in 2019. The veteran nose tackle will lock down a reserve role.
Jenkins enters his age-30 season having played for five different teams. In 2019 with the Dolphins, he posted 34 tackles and one sack which was better than his combined totals of the prior three seasons. However, with Eddie Goldman having opted out of the season, Jenkins stands an excellent chance of being the starter at nose tackle where he could average a couple tackles per game, though it's unlikely he'll have much upside in IDP leagues.
The fourth-year defensive tackle started 42 games the last three season, averaging 33 tackles per year. With the Saints signing Nick Fairley this offseason and drafting Sheldon Rankins with the 12th overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, Jenkins will face stiff competition for snaps. Even if he is able to again secure the majority of the playing time, with only 1.5 career sacks -- and none last year -- Jenkins is not a particularly enticing option in most fantasy leagues.
Jenkins served as a backup defensive tackle for most of 2014, but with Broderick Bunkley sidelined for the latter part of the season, Jenkins responded with some fantasy-worthy IDP performances. He finished the year with 30 tackles (20 solo) and one sack in 12 games. So long as Bunkley is healthy, however, Jenkins holds little fantasy value.
In his rookie season in 2013, Jenkins proved to be a prototypical nose guard in the Saints 3-4 defense, taking on multiple blockers and plugging holes. Jenkins, however, didn't show much as a pass rusher and managed only 21 tackles in 16 games, which limits his fantasy upside.
Drafted in the third round of the 2013 NFL draft, Jenkins will compete for the starting nose tackle position with the Saints. Even if he earns the starting gig, Jenkins will likely be primarily a run-stuffer, limiting his fantasy value.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Filling big shoes in Baltimore
DTBaltimore Ravens
May 17, 2025
Jenkins, who signed a contract with the Ravens on Friday, will be expected to make up for the run-stuffing presence the recently retired Michael Pierce provided, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Pierce helped the Ravens' defense to a No. 1 ranking against the run in 2024, providing 19 tackles, including 2.0 sacks, across 11 regular-season games. At 35 years of age, Jenkins is actually three years older than Pierce, but the former was particularly productive over the last two seasons with the Raiders while recording 107 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, defending six passes and recovering a fumble across 34 regular-season contests.
