2025 Fantasy Outlook
Hamilton's importance to the Ravens' defense has progressively increased in each of his first three seasons in the league. Not only did he log a career-high 981 defensive snaps, but he was almost entirely excluded from special-teams duties, a unit he played a key role in his first two pro seasons. Hamilton will likely be asked to take yet another step forward in 2025, as he's now one of the most veteran players - with the exception of Marlon Humphrey - in the Ravens' secondary that is also familiar with the team's system. He should have no issue rising to the challenge, as he's consistently delivered excellent results in all phases of the defense. Hamilton has already had his breakout season, but expecting another step forward in 2025 is realistic. Read Past Outlooks

The Ravens exercised Hamilton's fifth-year option Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Baltimore is retaining Hamilton through the 2026 season. The 24-year-old from Notre Dame has earned back-to-back All-Pro selections, logging 188 total tackles, including 5.0 sacks, 22 passes defended, with five interceptions, and three forced fumbles over his last 32 regular-season games. Expect Hamilton to remain one of the Ravens' top defensive playmakers next season, likely starting alongside 2025 first-round pick Malaki Starks.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
After being brought along slowly as a rookie, the Ravens gained trust in Hamilton in his second year as a pro. That translated to more starts and defensive snaps, and in turn, more production. Beyond the expanded role, Hamilton's deployment was also reimagined, as he was used more as a traditional safety and less in the box in support of the run defense. While perhaps that wasn't the best news for his fantasy value, Hamilton was able to display his prowess in coverage, tallying 13 passes defended and four interceptions while suffocating opposing quarterbacks with a passer rating of 48.4 when targeted. Even with a new defensive coordinator, there's little reason the Ravens should feel compelled to change Hamilton's role heading into 2024. That could lead to some relative inconsistency, but his playmaking ability will shine through several times during the season to deliver impactful fantasy production.
Hamilton was thrown into the fire as a rookie and after some early-season struggles, the 2022 first-rounder found his footing. He finished the season with 62 total tackles, 2.0 sacks and five pass breakups. He had a varied role with plenty of reps close to the line of scrimmage and at nickel while Chuck Clark and Marcus Williams (when healthy) took most of the snaps at the traditional safety spots. With Clark now gone, Hamilton stands to take on a larger role with more snaps at strong safety. He will likely still be used close to the line of scrimmage, too, as Baltimore will look to leverage his strong tackling ability in run support.
With the ability to line up at safety, slot corner and even linebacker in lighter formations, Hamilton could be to Chuck Clark and Marcus Williams what Xavier McKinney was to Logan Ryan and Jabrill Peppers with the Giants – the rare defender who plays a three-down role even as the third safety. The 14th overall pick is a major investment, and the Ravens wouldn’t have made it if they had any hesitation.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Deal before 2025 would make sense
SBaltimore Ravens
May 25, 2025
Hamilton has said he's in no rush to sign an extension, but Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic believes it would be beneficial for the Ravens to get a deal done prior to the 2025 season.
ANALYSIS
Hamilton is signed through 2026, but his valuation is likely to only keep climbing with each subsequent big contract handed to a safety, as Hamilton's widely expected to become the highest paid player at the position once he signs a new deal. He has dealt with a few injuries already in his three-year NFL career, so the security of a long-term contract could also appeal to Hamilton rather than holding out another year for the possibility of more money.
