The next favorable matchups are the Browns in Week 6 (10th against TEs) and the Bengals in Week 7 (5th against TEs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 16, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Baltimore thought enough of Hibner to trade up in the fourth round for him, sending the 49ers pick 154 plus a 2027 sixth to grab the SMU product. He arrives as a fifth-year senior who flashed late, posting 31 grabs for 436 yards and four scores across 13 games in 2025 after a quiet Michigan stint. The athletic profile and formation versatility give the Ravens a chess piece they can deploy all over.
The redraft case is thin. Mark Andrews still anchors this room, and Hibner projects as a backup in a multi-tight-end scheme, so meaningful snaps likely hinge on injury. That makes him a name to stash rather than start. The real value lives in dynasty, where he profiles as the eventual successor to Andrews and a sneaky streamer if the veteran misses time. Park him on a taxi squad and let the runway develop.
