Ravens vs Texans projected starting lineup and depth chart for Week 5 | 2025 NFL season

The Houston Texans and the Baltimore Ravens are two sides that were tipped to make waves ahead of the 2025 season. However, the two teams now have the same dismal 1-3 record going into their Week 5 matchup, having played four games apiece.

Even though their records are similar, both teams' situations are different going into their Week 5 matchup on Sunday. In their last game in Week 4, the Texans defeated the Tennessee Titans 26-0, delivering an incredible fourth quarter performance that they hope will be a game-changer for their season after losing their opening three games.

Meanwhile, the Ravens had a 1-1 record after the first two weeks of the season, but they have since dropped consecutive games to the Chiefs and the Detroit Lions. Their latest defeat was especially devastating, as they lost starting quarterback Lamar Jackson in the third quarter to a hamstring injury.

Here, we will take a look at the projected starting lineups of the Ravens and the Texans, two teams looking to turn their season around, ahead of their Week 5 clash.
