Tyler Loop

Consensus #189 · K14Week 2: vs NO, 28th vs KUpdated Sep 5

Loop is Baltimore's full-time kicker for the rest of the season, with the newly added Jake Moody serving purely as camp/practice-squad insurance rather than an active threat to the job in the near term.

Role

Handles all field goal and extra point duty in a Ravens offense that finishes drives efficiently; volume depends heavily on how often Baltimore's offense settles for field goals versus scoring touchdowns in the red zone, with Moody on the practice squad only as an emergency option if Loop gets hurt or slumps badly.

The case for

He's converting field goals at a strong clip (30-of-34, about 88%) on a Ravens team that moves the ball well and generates plenty of scoring chances, and the team's public comments frame him as the unquestioned Week 1-caliber starter even after adding competition to the practice squad.

The case against

His underlying PFF grade (59.1, ranking 33rd of 36 qualified kickers) suggests the raw accuracy number is better than the quality of his process, and Baltimore's move to stash another kicker on the practice squad signals the front office isn't fully comfortable relying on him without a contingency plan.
