2023 Fantasy Outlook
The Ravens' recent moves in their linebacker corps suggest that Queen will need to up his play to remain part of the team's long-term plans. The 2020 first-rounder's fifth-year option was declined this spring and the Ravens swung for the fences by acquiring Roquan Smith last season and drafting Trenton Simpson. Queen should still have the inside track at one of the starting inside LB spots and his improvements last year were noteworthy. He logged a career-best 117 tackles and five sacks while boosting his coverage ability by holding opposing QBs to a 69.1 rating when targeting him after previously hovering around 100.

RANKS
Headed to Pittsburgh
Queen is slated to ink a three-year, $41 million contract with the Steelers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Queen had some rough patches in his first two NFL seasons, but he's now coming off back-to-back standout campaigns with Baltimore and set to bring his talents to a division rival after the Ravens declined to pick up his fifth-year option. The 2020 first-round pick tallied a career-high 133 tackles across 17 regular-season games in 2023, plus six pass breakups, 3.5 sacks and one interception, all while operating as a true every-down player in Baltimore's defense. The star off-ball linebacker will join forces with fellow standouts T.J. Watt (knee) and Alex Highsmith to form what looks like the NFL's best LB corps and a unit which the Steelers defense can build its identity around.

On Houston's radar
Queen is drawing interest from the Texans, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The linebacker spent the first four seasons of his career in Baltimore after being selected in the first round of the 2020 Draft, topped 100 tackles three times. The Ravens didn't pick up his fifth-year option, though, and Queen became a free agent this offseason. Houston lost Blake Cashman and Denzel Perryman to free agency this year as well and as a result have over 1,100 defensive snaps to replace at linebacker. The Texans did sign Azeez Al-Shaair on Monday to a three-year deal, but they are likely still in the market for more help at the position.

2020
Queen enters his third season looking to improve after a middling 2021. His coverage remained a liability last season as he allowed a 67.7 percent completion rate along with a whopping 8.2 YPA while being credited with allowing two touchdown receptions. Playing time won't be an issue for him and he should still challenge for the 100-tackle mark. It's possible that working with new defensive coordinator, Mike MacDonald unlocks the potential that the Ravens saw in Queen when they spent a first-round pick on him in 2020.
