BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~100 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~125
ANALYSIS:
At first glance, this may not look like one of the better landing spots because of how Baltimore’s offense has historically operated with Lamar Jackson under center. But the winds of change are blowing hard. Not only did they sign Odell Beckham Jr. to a sizable contract, but they also drafted Zay Flowers in the first round, putting significant resources into their passing game. That wasn’t even the biggest move, though. That belongs to the offensive coordinator hire of Todd Monken.
The Ravens have been one of the most run-heavy offenses in the league since Jackson became the starter in 2019. Since that time, the Ravens have had the second-fewest passing yards and passing attempts. If their offensive coordinator hire and their offseason moves have told us anything, it’s that we should expect immediate changes. Those very well could be significant.
Working off the very reasonable assumption the Ravens are going to open up their passing game more in 2023, Flowers is in a fantastic spot to be an immediate producer.
OBJ will be 31 years old this season and is working his way back from a second torn ACL. The last time we saw him in 2021, he finished with just 537 yards in 14 games spent with the Browns and Rams. He’s nothing more than a role player at this point and his name value is bigger than his on-field contributions. Flowers should have no problem surpassing him.
That leaves just Rashod Bateman. He’s shown promise over the last two seasons. But during that time, he’s only appeared in 18 games. With Flowers’ speed, he may be better in best ball leagues. Still, it shouldn’t be a surprise if he ends up drawing even with Bateman as the team’s No. 2 target behind Mark Andrews.
