QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Lamar Jackson	512.1	326.5	3748.6	27.65	11.52	116.2	685.6	5.23	337.44
Tyler Huntley	56.9	37.3	344.2	1.76	1.39	20.7	93.2	0.62	31.07

Lamar Jackson: There is only one quarterback in NFL history with 25-plus passing touchdowns and 1,000-plus rushing yards in the same season, and that quarterback (Jackson) has done it twice. Of course, the biggest concern with Jackson is durability and the fact that he has missed five games in each of the past two seasons. With the Ravens bolstering their receiving corps by signing Odell Beckham Jr. and drafting Zay Flowers in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft and hiring Todd Monken to run the offense, the dual-threat quarterback has legitimate QB1 (overall) upside if he's able to stay healthy for a full season.

RUNNING BACKS

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
J.K. Dobbins	193.6	919.6	5.81	29.6	219	1.3	171.32
Gus Edwards	125.7	584.5	3.46	8.2	59.3	0.4	91.64
Justice Hill	31	141.1	0.7	12.6	94.1	0.5	37.02
Patrick Ricard	6.5	16.3	0.2	8	53.2	0.8	16.95
Keaton Mitchell	9	39.6	0.22	2.7	16.4	0.1	8.87

J.K. Dobbins: Dobbins has averaged a phenomenal 5.9 yards per carry, but he has played a total of 23 games through three seasons. (On a positive note, he's an extra year removed from a torn ACL that forced him to miss the entire 2021 season.) While Lamar Jackson's elite rushing threat can put tremendous strain on opposing defenses, the flip side is fewer targets and checkdowns to running backs as Dobbins has averaged only 1.39 targets and 1.09 receptions per game over his career.

Gus Edwards: The Ravens won't be as run-heavy as they have historically been, but Edwards has averaged 5.2 yards per carry on his 501 carries since entering the league in 2018. Especially if Dobbins were to miss any time, Edwards would have quite a bit of upside and immediately move into the RB2 range.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Zay Flowers	53.5	654.8	4.5	2.8	14	0.11	121.29
Odell Beckham	50.8	656.9	4.5	3.6	18	0.14	120.73
Rashod Bateman	48.2	616	4	0	0	0	109.7
Nelson Agholor	16.4	208.7	1.5	0	0	0	38.07
Devin Duvernay	7.8	85.9	0.6	5.2	36.4	0.26	21.29
Tylan Wallace	1.3	16.4	0.1	0	0	0	2.89

Zay Flowers: Flowers was ultra-productive for the Boston College Eagles despite poor quarterback play and opposing defenses knowing he was "the" guy. He gives Baltimore's offense a shot in the arm, and he has looked the part leading up to the start of the season.

Odell Beckham: Beckham Jr. started his career with three consecutive seasons of at least 90/1,300/10 and 1,000-plus yards in five of his first six seasons. That said, OBJ has a total of 856 receiving yards over the past three years, which includes none in 2022 as he recovered from his knee injury. Even if he leads Baltimore's receivers in fantasy production, the range between the team's WR1 and WR3 could be very narrow, as I project.

Rashod Bateman: Bateman has appeared in 18 (of 34 possible) career games, and he has posted a receiving line so far of 61/800/3. If he scored the fantasy equivalent of that line last season, he would have finished as fantasy's WR43 in half-PPR scoring. Add in more competition (Beckham and Flowers) and the likelihood of a Bateman breakout in 2023 is relatively low. In fact, I prefer Flowers and Beckham over Bateman.

TIGHT ENDS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Mark Andrews	83.7	951.6	7.5	2.1	8.4	0.06	183.21
Isaiah Likely	33.3	368.4	2.9	0	0	0	70.89
Charlie Kolar	7.8	92.1	0.7	0	0	0	17.31

Mark Andrews: Andrews missed a couple of games in 2022, and his year-over-year production declined to 73/847/5. Even so, Andrews scored the fourth-most half-PPR fantasy points (third on a PPG basis). The additions at wide receiver creates greater competition for targets, but he remains the clear top fantasy option in Baltimore's passing game.

Zay Flowers: Flowers was ultra-productive for the Boston College Eagles despite poor quarterback play and opposing defenses knowing he was "the" guy. He gives the offense a shot in the arm, although there may not be enough targets to go around for him (or any of the top wide receivers) to make a consistent weekly fantasy impact this year if all of the team's top weapons are healthy.

Baltimore Ravens Fantasy Football Projections 2022

Our 2022 Fantasy Football Projections will be viewable by both position and team.

Below you will find our 2022 fantasy football projections for the Baltimore Ravens.

MORE: Fantasy football projections for more NFL teams

QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Lamar Jackson	474.5	300.8	3463.9	21.35	13.29	141.3	861.9	4.59	311.11
Tyler Huntley	46.9	30.1	293.1	1.41	0.94	22.6	124.3	0.68	31.99

Lamar Jackson: Missing five games in 2021, it's no surprise that Jackson's passing touchdowns dropped year over year from 26 (2020) to 16 (2021). That said, his TD% (4.2%) was also a three-year low and his INT% (3.4%) was a career high. Jackson didn't rush for 1,000 yards last season after doing so in each of the previous two seasons, but his 63.9 rushing YPG in 2021 still ranked top 12 in the NFL, regardless of position.

RUNNING BACKS

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
J.K. Dobbins	186.5	839.3	6.71	21.3	170.9	1	157.93
Kenyan Drake	67.8	294.9	1.93	22.2	184.1	1.3	78.38

Justice Hill	2.8	11.8	0.07	2	15	0.1	4.7

J.K. Dobbins: Not only did Dobbins miss all of 2021, but it's unclear if he'll be available for Week 1 even if John Harbaugh says he "looks better every day." Few teams, if any, will operate a more run-centric offense than the Ravens in 2022. Perhaps Lamar Jackson will lead the team in rushing for a fourth consecutive season, but Dobbins had 134 carries for 805 yards (6.0 YPC) and nine touchdowns as a rookie in 2020.

Kenyan Drake: With Gus Edwards on PUP and the early-season status of J.K. Dobbins uncertain, Drake signs with the Ravens at a point that could propel him (out of necessity) into a fairly large role to start the season. Even when the backfield is at full strength, Drake should maintain a significant role (at least) on passing downs.

Gus Edwards: Beginning the season on the PUP list, Edwards will miss at least the first four games of the season. Before missing the 2021 season, Edwards averaged a minimum of 5.0 YPC every year (three seasons) and has averaged more than 10 touches per game over his career.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Rashod Bateman	71.3	897.9	4.8	0	0	0	154.24

Demarcus Robinson	13.6	167.2	0.9	0	0	0	28.92
Tylan Wallace	9.8	139	0.6	0	0	0	22.4

Rashod Bateman: Bateman finished with a 46/515/1 line on 68 targets as a rookie after missing the first five games of the season. With Marquise Brown traded to Arizona, Bateman is the team's clear WR1 even if he's second in line for targets behind tight end Mark Andrews. The former first-round pick has plenty of breakout potential heading into his second season.

TIGHT ENDS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Mark Andrews	82.6	1027.5	7.4	188.45

Charlie Kolar	5.8	67.6	0.4	12.06
Josh Oliver	0.5	5.6	0	0.81

Mark Andrews: After back-to-back top-five seasons, Andrews led all tight ends in fantasy points across all scoring formats in 2021. The former third-rounder out of Oklahoma broke the Ravens franchise record for receptions (107) and receiving yards (1,361) and scored nine touchdowns last season. A model of consistency, Andrews finished top 10 in all three categories, regardless of position, and he had at least five targets and three catches in all 17 games last season.

Lamar Jackson: Missing five games in 2021, it's no surprise that his passing touchdowns dropped year over year from 26 (2020) to 16 (2021). That said, his TD% (4.2%) was also a three-year low and his INT% (3.4%) was a career high. After rushing for more than 1,000 yards in back-to-back seasons, Jackson's rushing yards per game (63.9) in 2021 was a three-year low but still top 12 in the NFL.

Patrick Ricard	1.4	2.8	0.04	4	31.9	0.3	7.51

J.K. Dobbins: Dobbins took issue with a tweet from NFL Network's Ian Rapoport suggesting he may not be ready for Week 1. Per John Harbaugh, Dobbins "tells everybody all the time" that he's ready to practice. While he has opened camp on the PUP list, any risk that he won't be ready for the start of the season has been factored into his ADP.

Few teams, if any, will operate a more run-centric offense than the Ravens in 2022. While Dobbins missed all of 2021, he had 134 carries for 805 yards (6.0 YPC) and nine touchdowns as a rookie. While Lamar Jackson could lead the team in rushing for a fourth consecutive season, Dobbins is likely being underdrafted compared to his ADP as long as his health cooperates.

Gus Edwards: Like Dobbins, Edwards missed all of 2021 and opened training camp on the active/PUP list. Before that, however, he averaged a minimum of 5.0 YPC every year (three seasons) and averaged more than 10 touches per game in his career.

Fantasy Football Half-PPR Mock Draft - 12 Teams, 5th Pick

The best way to become good at something is to practice. So, what should you do if you want to draft a better fantasy football team?

Practice, of course!

Leading up to the start of the 2022 NFL season, we will use the 2022 Fantasy Football Mock Draft Simulator (powered by FantasyPros) to complete fantasy football mock drafts.

We will use a variety of scoring formats -- PPR, half-PPR, standard scoring and even 2-QB leagues, league sizes and draft slots. The goal is to give you a good representation of the team that you may be able to construct given your league settings and the rationale of why we made the picks we did.

>> Our mocks will be tracked here: Fantasy Football Mock Drafts.

That said, nothing beats practicing yourself so (check out the simulator) and complete a mock in a matter of minutes.

Half-PPR Mock Draft: 12 Teams, 5th Pick

1.05 - Derrick Henry, RB, Tennessee Titans

Henry has never had 20 receptions in a season, but who cares? Of course, more involvement in the passing game is preferred (and he was more involved before his injury with 18 catches in eight games), but Henry has finished as a top-three fantasy running back in half-PPR formats in both 2019 and 2020. His dominance as a rusher (303/1,540/16 and 378/2,207/17, respectively) more than compensates for a relatively modest receiving role.

Henry rushed for 219/937/10 through eight games last season, equivalent to a 465/1,991/21 full-season pace, and was fantasy's RB1 across all scoring formats through Week 8. One could argue that missing the final nine regular-season games of 2021 boosts his outlook for 2022 given the heavy workloads he has shouldered over the past few seasons. Either way, he's my third-ranked player overall, so I'll gladly take him at No. 5.

2.08 - Mike Evans, WR, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Evans has started his career with eight consecutive 1,000-yard seasons, and there is little doubt that he'll extend that streak barring injury. In his two seasons with Tom Brady, Evans has a total of 27 touchdowns and the two highest seasonal totals (13 and 14, respectively) of his career.

3.05 - Keenan Allen, WR, Los Angeles Chargers

Fantasy managers can take Allen's consistency to the bank. Allen has a minimum of 97 receptions and 992 yards in five consecutive seasons, although he has scored more than six touchdowns in only one of those five seasons. During that span, he's finished no worse than WR14 in half-PPR scoring in any season.

4.08 - Elijah Mitchell, RB, San Francisco 49ers

Mitchell missed six games as a rookie, but he was the clear lead back when he was on the field. Counting three playoff games, Mitchell had a minimum in 17 carries in 11 of 14 games in 2021. (Mitchell had 68.3% of the non-QB carries in those other three games.) While the 49ers used a third-round pick on Tyrion Davis-Price, that says more about the role of Trey Sermon, last year's third-round pick, than it does Mitchell's.

5.05 - J.K. Dobbins, RB, Baltimore Ravens

6.08 - Dalton Schultz, TE, Dallas Cowboys

Schultz set career highs in targets (104), receptions (78), yards (808) and touchdowns (eight) last season as he finished as a top-three fantasy tight end. Schultz lacks the ceiling of the elite tight ends. For example, his season high last year was 82 yards, but he has a solid floor as he finished with five-plus targets in 13 of 17 games. Given the offseason changes to the team's group of pass catchers, there's a chance he's even more involved in 2022 than he was last year.

7.05 - DeVonta Smith, WR, Philadelphia Eagles

Smith had a productive rookie season (64/916/5), but the trade for A.J. Brown limits Smith's upside and potential to make a big second-year leap, making him more of a WR3 than WR2 in fantasy.

8.08 - Brandon Aiyuk, WR, San Francisco 49ers

Aiyuk exceeded 15 receiving yards in only two of his first six games and totalled only 9/96/1 receiving during that span. That said, he was much more productive and consistent from Week 8 on, as he closed the season with 47/730/4 over the final 11 games of the season. If he could put together a more consistent season from beginning to end, he could turn out to be a bargain.

9.05 - Russell Wilson, QB, Denver Broncos

Wilson missed three games in 2021, his first season finishing outside the top 11 fantasy quarterbacks. Even though he won't have D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett as targets, the Broncos arguably have a more talented group of wideouts when comparing each team's top four receivers. Barring injury, Wilson should once again finish as a top-12 fantasy quarterback in 2022.

10.08 - Ronald Jones II, RB, Kansas City Chiefs

Jones' numbers in 2021 were (more than) halved from the prior season. Last season, Jones had only 111 touches for 492 scrimmage yards and eight touchdowns. A change of scenery could serve him well even though he'll be competing with Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Jerick McKinnon for snaps.

11.05 - Nyheim Hines, RB, Indianapolis Colts

As a change-of-pace option to Jonathan Taylor, Hines has a minimum of 40 catches in each of his four NFL seasons. That said, it would take an injury to Taylor for Hines to become a weekly play outside of bye weeks.

12.08 - Tim Patrick, WR, Denver Broncos

Patrick has back-to-back seasons with at least 50 catches, 700 yards and five touchdowns. Even if he enters 2022 as his team's WR3 behind Jerry Jeudy and Courtland Sutton, more competent quarterback play boosts the passing game overall and an injury to either Jeudy or Sutton would give Patrick plenty of upside as a late-round pick in drafts.

13.05 - Pat Freiermuth, TE, Pittsburgh Steelers

More productive than the typical rookie tight end, Freiermuth finished 2021 with 60 receptions for 497 yards and seven touchdowns on 79 targets. He's ranked as a top-10 fantasy tight end in our early 2022 rankings.

14.08 - Khalil Herbert, RB, Chicago Bears

Herbert showed what he could do during Montgomery's four-game absence, as the rookie totaled 78 carries for 344 yards and a touchdown with nine receptions for 44 yards. Herbert was fantasy's RB16 over that stretch. Outside of that four-game span, however, Herbert never exceeded four carries or five touches.

15.05 - Saints D/ST, DST, New Orleans Saints

16.08 - Ryan Succop, K, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

2021 Fantasy Football Projections: Baltimore Ravens

Our 2021 Fantasy Football Projections will be viewable by both position and team.

Below you will find our 2021 fantasy football projections for the Baltimore Ravens.

MORE: Fantasy football projections for more NFL teams

QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Lamar Jackson	451.1	294.3	3360.7	30.9	9.7	155.7	1004.3	6.15	375.96
Tyler Huntley	36.6	22.7	252.5	1.56	0.99	13.2	46.2	0.26	20.54

Lamar Jackson: It's not a surprise that Jackson's year-over-year numbers dipped following his elite 2019 MVP season. Jackson threw 10 fewer touchdowns in 2020 and threw for 208 yards or less in 12 of 15 games. Even so, his real fantasy success comes from his rushing ability and he has now rushed for 1,000-plus yards in back-to-back seasons.

Over the final five weeks of the season, Jackson averaged only 161.8 passing yards per game, but he threw 11 touchdowns and rushed for 430 yards and four more scores. During that span, he averaged a massive 27.67 fantasy points per game.

RUNNING BACKS

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
J.K. Dobbins	217.3	999.6	9.78	31.7	245.7	2	211.06
Gus Edwards	148.3	689.6	4.82	10.8	83.1	0.7	115.79
Justice Hill	43.2	183.6	1.08	5.9	45.2	0.3	34.11
Patrick Ricard	0.9	2.7	0.01	7.3	54.2	0.8	14.2

J.K. Dobbins: The Ravens have had a 1,000-yard rusher in back-to-back seasons. Unfortunately (for the team's running backs), that player is quarterback Lamar Jackson. For a team that loves to run the ball, however, Dobbins offers plenty of profit potential as a mid-RB2 type. Dobbins could potentially be a steal if Harbaugh follows through on a "main offensive point of emphasis" -- to get the RBs more involved in the passing game.

Gus Edwards: Best in standard (non-PPR) formats, Edwards performed as fantasy's RB28 in non-PPR, RB35 in half-PPR and RB37 in full PPR formats in 2020. Edwards has a minimum of 133 carries, 711 yards and 5.0 YPC in all three of his NFL seasons. While Dobbins will handle the bulk of touches, Edwards should approach double-digit touches per game and has stand-alone flex value, especially in standard-scoring formats.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Marquise Brown	55.6	729.9	6.7	2.9	11.6	0.03	142.33
Rashod Bateman	51.8	650.4	5.5	0	0	0	123.94
Sammy Watkins	50.4	626.9	5.5	0	0	0	120.89
Miles Boykin	7.9	106.6	1.1	0	0	0	21.21
Devin Duvernay	6.3	63.2	0.5	5.9	47.2	0.15	18.09
Tylan Wallace	3.2	43.4	0.5	0	0	0	8.94
James Proche	0.5	5.4	0	0	0	0	0.79

Marquise Brown: Brown's catch rate (58.0%) and yards per target (7.7) dropped in 2020 from his rookie season of 64.8% and 8.2 Y/T, respectively. Since he played a full 16-game season, however, his overall numbers (58/769/8) improved last season. In a run-first offense with added competition from Rashod Bateman and Sammy Watkins, Brown has a little more appeal in best ball than in season-long formats.

Rashod Bateman: Cornerback Marlon Humphrey says that the Ravens "got a pretty good one" with Bateman, their first of two first-round picks in 2021. It wouldn't surprise me if he outperformed fellow former first-rounder Marquise Brown when both are on the field, but Bateman's status (core muscle surgery) for Week 1 is uncertain.

Sammy Watkins: Entering his eighth NFL season playing for his fourth NFL franchise, Watkins is reunited with offensive coordinator Greg Roman, with whom he had 60/1,047/9 in his age-22 season (2015). Missing six games last season, Watkins set career lows in receiving yards (421) and touchdowns (two) in 2020. Watkins has generated some positive reviews this summer, but he's once again dealing with an ("not a serious," per Harbaugh) injury at the moment.

TIGHT ENDS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Mark Andrews	69.1	803.9	7.5	159.94
Nick Boyle	13	119.2	1	24.42
Josh Oliver	2.5	27.1	0.2	5.16
Eric Tomlinson	1	9	0.1	2

Mark Andrews: Andrews missed a couple of games and Marquise Brown (58/769/8) outproduced Andrews (58/701/7) over the full season, but the third-year tight end led the team in YPG (50.1). The main concern with Andrews' outlook is that even if he gets the biggest slice of the pie, the team's passing offense averaged a league-low 171.2 yards per game in 2020.

2021 Fantasy Football PPR Mock Draft: 14 Teams, 3rd Pick

The best way to become good at something is to practice. So, what should you do if you want to draft a better fantasy football team?

Practice, of course!

Leading up to the start of the 2021 NFL season, we will use the 2021 Fantasy Football Mock Draft Simulator (powered by FantasyPros) to complete fantasy football mock drafts.

+ Our mocks will be tracked here: Fantasy Football Mock Drafts.

That said, nothing beats practicing yourself so (check out the simulator) and complete a mock in a matter of minutes.

PPR Mock Draft: 14 Teams, 3rd Pick

1.03 - Derrick Henry, RB, Tennessee Titans

If there's a concern with Henry, it's his relative lack of involvement in the passing game. That said, Henry more than compensates for his smaller role as a receiver with his dominant rushing production. Not only is he the back-to-back rushing champion coming off a 2,000-yard campaign, but Henry has led the league in rushing touchdowns in each of the past two seasons with 33 rushing scores in 31 games.

No running back scored more fantasy points in non-PPR formats, but Henry also finished second in half-PPR and third in (full) PPR as well.

2.12 - Terry McLaurin, WR, Washington Football Team

While the team's quarterback play hasn't done him many favors, McLaurin managed to set career highs with 87 catches and 1,118 yards in his second season. While his Y/R dipped to 12.9 from 15.8, he set career highs in YPG (74.5) and catch rate (64.9%). Even though WFT didn't draft a QB in April, signing Ryan Fitzpatrick in free agency boosts McLaurin's outlook and puts him squarely in the WR1 mix.

3.03 - D'Andre Swift, RB, Detroit Lions

Swift was much more involved in the second half of the season as he finished his rookie campaign with 114/521/8 (4.6 YPC) rushing and 46/357/2 (7.8 Y/R) receiving. Swift had three-plus catches in 12 of 13 games and his ability as a receiver gives him the upside to crack the top-10 fantasy running backs in 2021.

4.12 - J.K. Dobbins, RB, Baltimore Ravens

The Ravens have had a 1,000-yard rusher in back-to-back seasons. Unfortunately (for the team's running backs), that player is quarterback Lamar Jackson. For a team that loves to run the ball, however, Dobbins offers plenty of profit potential as a mid-RB2 type. Dobbins could potentially be a steal if Harbaugh follows through on a "main offensive point of emphasis" this offseason, which is to get the RBs more involved in the passing game.

More: Baltimore Ravens 2021 Fantasy Football Projections

5.03 - D.J. Chark, WR, Jacksonville Jaguars

Chark missed three games in 2020 and averaged 12.9 yards per game less than in 2019, but improved quarterback play with Trevor Lawrence makes Chark a bounce-back candidate for 2021. Two seasons ago, Chark had 73 catches for 1,008 yards and eight touchdowns in his age-23 season.

6.12 - Brandin Cooks, WR, Houston Texans

Averaging a career-high 76.7 YPG, Cooks finished his first season in Houston with 81 catches for 1,150 yards and six touchdowns. From Week 5 on, Cooks had at least 59 yards in 10 of 11 games. During that 11-game span, he averaged 6.5 catches and 92 yards per game.

Given Deshaun Watson's uncertain status as we approach the 2021 season, it's reasonable to project lower year-over-year numbers for Cooks, even with Will Fuller now in Miami. At the same time, he should be the recipient of as many targets as he can handle.

More: Houston Texans 53-Man Roster Projections

7.03 - Justin Herbert, QB, Los Angeles Chargers

The reigning NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, Herbert had at least 300 passing yards and/or multiple touchdowns in 13 of his 15 starts as a rookie. Even with a new coaching staff in place for the upcoming season, the second-year quarterback should benefit from a more normal offseason as he enters the season already entrenched as the starter. Not to mention, the offense should be more QB-friendly in 2021. It wouldn't surprise me if he makes a sophomore leap that catapults him into the top five or so QBs.

8.12 - Michael Gallup, WR, Dallas Cowboys

It was a down year (59/843/5) for Gallup, who averaged 26.4 fewer yards per game than he did in 2019. Of course, the offense as a whole struggled without Dak Prescott and Gallup had 50-plus yards in four of five games with Prescott and in only three-of-11 games without him.

9.03 - Kenyan Drake, RB, Las Vegas Raiders

The Raiders plan to use Drake in a variety of ways including at receiver. As my RB4 in Round 9, Drake is worth the risk this late.

10.12 - Mike Gesicki, TE, Miami Dolphins

The third-year tight end posted career highs across the board with 53 receptions, 703 yards and six touchdowns. Miami's pass-catching additions put a damper on Gesicki's 2021 outlook, but there is value at the 138th pick (TE13).

More: Miami Dolphins 2021 NFL Power Rankings Roundup

11.03 - Irv Smith, TE, Minnesota Vikings

Given that I waited so long to draft a tight end, I decided to double-up with Smith here. Smith missed three games last season, but he set career highs in YPG (28.1), Y/R (12.2) and touchdowns (five). With Kyle Rudolph no longer on the roster, the arrow is pointing up for the third-year tight end.

12.12 - Henry Ruggs III, WR, Las Vegas Raiders

As a rookie, Ruggs was used more as a decoy than a focal point of the offense and finished with a 26/452/2 line (17.4 Y/R). Ruggs added some weight in the offseason and the coaching staff has talked him up. He's worth a flier in Round 12.

More: Las Vegas Raiders 2022 NFL Mock Draft Roundup

13.03 - Joe Burrow, QB, Cincinnati Bengals

Sustaining his season-ending knee injury in Week 11, the only quarterback to throw more pass attempts than Burrow (404, 36.7/G) through that point in the season was Tom Brady (433, 36.1/G). Burrow should rank near the top of the NFL in pass attempts in 2021. That volume gives Burrow plenty of upside as the QB15 in this mock.

14.12 - Colts DST, Indianapolis Colts

15.03 - Parris Campbell, WR, Indianapolis Colts

After an injury-plagued rookie season, Campbell, a second-round pick in 2019, played only two snaps in Week 2 prior to a PCL injury that ended his 2020 season. Before the injury, he had 6/71 on nine targets and a nine-yard rush attempt in Week 1 last season. If he can stay healthy, he should challenge T.Y. Hilton and Michael Pittman as the team's most productive fantasy receiver.

16.12 - Jason Myers, K, Seattle Seahawks

J.K. Dobbins: The Ravens have had a 1,000-yard rusher in back-to-back seasons. Unfortunately (for the team's running backs), that player is quarterback Lamar Jackson.

Marquise Brown	54.1	712.6	6.6	3	12	0.03	139.29
Rashod Bateman	52.5	652	5.6	0	0	0	125.05

Tylan Wallace	3.1	44.5	0.5	0	0	0	9
James Proche	0.5	5.3	0	0	0	0	0.78

Marquise Brown: Brown's catch rate (58.0%) and yards per target (7.7) dropped in 2020 from his rookie season of 64.8% and 8.2 Y/T, respectively. Since he played a full 16-game season, his overall numbers (58/769/8) improved last season. In a run-first offense with added competition from Rashod Bateman and Sammy Watkins, Brown has more appeal in best ball formats and DFS tournaments during the season than he does in standard season-long leagues.

Rashod Bateman: Cornerback Marlon Humphrey says that the Ravens "got a pretty good one" with Bateman, their first of two first-round picks in 2021. It wouldn't surprise me if he outperformed fellow former first-rounder Marquise Brown even as a rookie, but no team averaged fewer passing yards per game than the Ravens (171.9) in 2020.

Sammy Watkins: Entering his eighth NFL season playing for his fourth NFL franchise, Watkins had career lows in yards (421) and touchdowns (two) in 2020 despite playing with Patrick Mahomes. Missing six games in 2020, Watkins has missed at least that many games in three of the past five seasons. His Y/R (11.4) was a career low and his 42.1 YPG was the second lowest of his career.

With all of that said, Watkins has generated glowing reviews in minicamp and training camp thus far. Watkins played under OC Greg Roman in 2015 when he had 60/1,047/9 in his age-22 season.

TIGHT ENDS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Mark Andrews	68	792.7	7.4	157.67
Nick Boyle	12.8	115.8	1	23.98
Josh Oliver	2.5	26.7	0.2	5.12
Eric Tomlinson	0.9	8.9	0.1	1.94

Mark Andrews: Andrews missed a couple of games and Marquise Brown (58/769/8) outproduced Andrews (58/701/7) over the full season, but the third-year tight end led the team in YPG (50.1). Even if he gets the biggest slice of the pie, the team's passing offense ranked last in the NFL (171.2 YPG) in 2020.
