Jonathan Ogden to Retire? Fantasy Impact
Jonathan Ogden of the Baltimore Ravens is reportedly set to retire. Ogden is battling a toe injury that has been slow to heal. The 33-year-old Ogden, who stands 6-foot-9 and weighs 345 pounds, has spent all 12 of his NFL seasons as an offensive lineman on the Ravens.
If Ogden retires, it will have deep fantasy football ramifications. Even at his age, Ogden was one of the better offensive linemen in the NFL. Without Ogden, the Ravens’ offense would struggle — even more than usual.
While none of the Ravens are rated too highly in fantasy football, it’s time to lower their stocks even more. Willis McGahee isn’t as valuable as he would be if Ogden stayed around. Kyle Boller is even less valuable than before. Wide receivers Derrick Mason and Mark Clayton and tight end Todd Heap are less appealing.
Earlier in the offseason, starting quarterback Steve McNair retired. Ogden retiring would have a similar negative affect on the offense.
