2023 Fantasy Outlook
It turns out that the toe injury Ragnow dealt with in 2021 is a long-term concern, though the Arkansas product was able to play through the pain for most of the 2022 campaign. Ragnow is one of the best centers in the league when healthy, but the Pro Bowler carries a high degree of injury risk going forward. Read Past Outlooks

Assessing his playing future
CDetroit Lions
February 5, 2024
Ragnow (ankle/knee/toe) plans to take time this offseason to assess his injuries and plot his future, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ragnow has been dealing with an inoperable toe condition for the better part of three years and played through knee and ankle sprains during Detroit's playoff run. The 27-year-old just wrapped up his sixth NFL season after being drafted No. 20 overall in 2018 out of Arkansas. He missed just two starts in 2023, but injuries have clearly taken a toll on his body. "I need to find a way to get back to Frank," Ragnow said. "And I don't regret any of this at all, but it weighs on you, and I'm just going to take some time and really figure everything out to make sure that I'm feeling good, not only for me the football player but for me to be the best husband and best father and everything with that as well."

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set to play through injury
CDetroit Lions
January 23, 2024
Ragnow will play through a sprained ankle and sprained knee and suit up for Sunday's NFC Championship game against the 49ers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Ragnow suffered the injuries in a divisional-round win over the Buccaneers, but he was surprisingly able to return to the game. As a result, it's no surprise that he's planning to play against San Francisco, though he may be at less than 100 percent. Ragnow has been a key force along the Lions' offensive line since being drafted in the first round in 2018, and he's a key to the team's rushing attack.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
Ragnow missed the final 13 games of the 2021 campaign due to a toe injury, but he is healthy in advance of the 2022 season and should quickly re-establish himself as a premier center early on.
Now the league's highest-paid center, Ragnow enters the 2021 campaign as arguably the best player at his position.
