QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Lamar Jackson	440	291.5	3388	25.3	7.48	142.6	877	4.99	339.4
What's not to like about Jackson? Well, I mean, aside from his ADP? Jackson led the NFL in passing touchdowns (36) and TD% (9.0) and his rushing production -- 1,206 yards and seven touchdowns -- accounted for double-digit fantasy points per game (10.84) on its own. The dual-threat quarterback's rushing production provides an extremely high floor -- only one game with fewer than 19.8 fantasy points -- and high ceiling -- 10 of his 15 weeks were top-four weekly performances.
Robert Griffin III	35.7	21.8	235.6	1.21	0.89	16	56	0.16	19.04
Trace McSorley	0	0	0	0	0	1.5	5.3	0.03	0.71

RUNNING BACKS

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Mark Ingram	184.8	840.8	6.93	25	205	2.25	159.66
Despite being second on his own team in rushing (behind Lamar Jackson), Ingram still performed as an RB1 in all scoring formats in 2019. Ingram eclipsed the 1,000-yard rushing mark, averaged 5.0 yards per carry and scored a total of 15 touchdowns for the league's highest-scoring offense. Ingram's grip on the lead-back role is weakened some by the team drafting a talented back (J.K. Dobbins), but the veteran back remains a viable RB2 in 2020.
J.K. Dobbins	154.3	709.8	5.4	21.8	183.1	1.31	129.55
Some viewed Dobbins as the RB1 in this year's draft class. The former Buckeye enters a situation where his long-term success can be maximized, but the presence of Ingram atop the depth chart puts some constraints on Dobbins' short-term (i.e., 2020) outlook. Even so, the workload gap between Ingram and Dobbins should be narrower than it was between Ingram (228 touches in 2019) and the team's RB2 (Gus Edwards, 140) last year and Edwards finished as a top-50 back. Much more of a receiving threat than Edwards, Dobbins could still vastly exceed his current ADP.
Gus Edwards	69.8	335	2.79	2	13.6	0.02	51.72
While Dobbins is the future of the position for the run-heavy Ravens, it may be too early to automatically assume that he'll get the second-most touches behind Ingram on an every-week basis. The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec recently wrote that "it might be a weekly decision" when it comes to who will get carries behind Ingram. Edwards averaged 5.3 yards per carry a season ago.
Patrick Ricard	0	0	0	7.4	37.7	1.11	10.43

WIDE RECEIVERS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Marquise Brown	64.7	857.3	6.79	0	0	0	126.47
The only first-round receiver drafted in 2019, Brown was the most productive wide receiver for the Ravens as the rookie finished with 42 catches for 584 yards and seven touchdowns. Never 100 percent last season due to his foot, Brown added 23 pounds this offseason. The only concern with Brown is the run-first nature of the offense, which will continue to lead to some boom-or-bust outings on a week-to-week basis.
Willie Snead	34.8	372.4	1.91	2.9	13.1	0.03	50.19
Miles Boykin	21.6	308.9	1.84	0	0	0	41.93

James Proche	8.4	87.4	0.5	0	0	0	11.74
Chris Moore	1.3	14.2	0.1	0	0	0	2.02

TIGHT ENDS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Mark Andrews	69	903.9	6.9	0	0	0	131.79
In the year that the Ravens drafted Andrews, they used a first-round pick on a tight end except it wasn't Andrews. While that first-rounder (Hayden Hurst) was traded this offseason to Atlanta (and the move provides a boost for Hurst's outlook), Andrews is coming off a breakout season where he posted career highs in receptions (64), yards (852) and touchdowns (10). Andrews is a consensus top-three TE option behind Travis Kelce and George Kittle in 2020.
Nick Boyle	35.2	345	2.11	0	0	0	47.16
Boyle actually led Ravens' tight ends in snaps played (769, 69.59%) while posting receiving career highs across the board in targets (43), receptions (31), yards (321) and touchdowns (two) in 2019. Trading Hayden Hurst may not necessarily lead to an uptick in snaps played, but it's possible the trade leads to a few extra targets Boyle's way this season.

Baltimore Ravens 2019 Fantasy Football Projections

In addition to viewing our 2019 Fantasy Football Projections by position, we will post our preseason projections per team.

Below you will find our 2019 fantasy football projections for the Baltimore Ravens.

QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Lamar Jackson	497.7	293.6	3434.1	17.92	11.2	129.2	633.1	4.52	277.07
Starting just seven (regular-season) games last season, Jackson led the team in rush attempts (147) and was second in rushing yards (695) to Gus Edwards (718). Even though he threw for more than 200 yards only once (204 in Week 16), Jackson scored the eighth-most fantasy points per contest during his seven-week stretch as starter. The goal may be for Jackson to run less (for durability's sake) in 2019, but offensive coordinator Greg Roman has had plenty of success orchestrating offenses led by mobile quarterbacks. Here are the fantasy QB finishes in Roman's last four seasons as OC: QB8, QB14 (Tyrod Taylor in Buffalo) and QB16, QB11 (Colin Kaepernick in San Francisco).
Trace McSorley	7.8	4.3	54.6	0.23	0.2	5.6	25.2	0.11	5.88

RUNNING BACKS

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Mark Ingram	219	996.5	8.76	31.1	223.9	0.93	180.18
Suspended the first four games of the season, Ingram had a down year as Alvin Kamara took over as lead back in New Orleans. In the two seasons before that, however, Ingram rushed for 2,167 yards, added 104 catches for 735 yards and scored a total of 22 touchdowns. No team ran the ball as much as Baltimore in 2018 and that trend should continue in 2019 with Ingram as their lead back and my projection of 250 touches could prove too conservative.
Gus Edwards	98.3	501.3	2.95	3.1	24.8	0.03	70.49
A key waiver-wire pickup in fantasy leagues last season, Edwards had only 62 rushing yards before the team's Week 10 bye, but he ended up leading the team in rushing (718 yards) on the year. Edwards rushed for a minimum of 67 yards from Weeks 11 to 17 and three 100-yard games over that seven-week span. The addition of Ingram puts a significant dent into Edwards' workload and outlook for 2019.
Justice Hill	59	318.6	0.89	24.9	211.7	0.75	62.87
Kenneth Dixon	39.3	188.6	1.18	8.8	57.2	0.09	32.2

WIDE RECEIVERS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Marquise Brown	41.5	684.8	3.53	7	40.6	0.14	94.56
The first wide receiver off the board in the 2019 NFL Draft, Brown has drawn comparisons to DeSean Jackson and is the cousin of Raiders receiver Antonio Brown. From a fantasy perspective, the run-heavy Baltimore offense is far from an ideal landing spot for "Hollywood."
Willie Snead	49.8	527.9	1.49	0.8	5.2	0	62.25
Chris Moore	38.9	420.1	3.11	1.4	4.3	0.01	61.16

Mark Andrews	38.1	541	3.43	0	0	0	74.68
The Ravens used a first-round pick on Hayden Hurst last season, but it was the third-rounder that was the most productive in 2018. Andrews, who posted a 34/552/3 line, remains the best bet among Baltimore's tight ends to be the most productive in 2019.

2018 Fantasy Football WR Waiver-Wire Options Heading Into Week 9

Every week, we examine players that may be available on your league's waiver wire that could help your team in the short and/or long term.

For a player to be listed, he must be owned in 50 percent (or less) of Yahoo! leagues. The goal is to provide recommendations of players that have a greater chance of being available on your league's waiver wire. Of course, your league's size and settings could significantly impact whether these players (or better options) are available in your particular league(s).

Embed from Getty Images
With that said, here are some wide receiver waiver-wire options that I like heading into Week 9 (Yahoo! ownership in parenthesis):

[Note: Players listed below are sorted by my preference to add.]

1. D.J. Moore, Carolina Panthers (15 percent)

The first wide receiver selected in this year's NFL Draft, Moore continues to see his role expand within Carolina's offense. In a tough matchup against the Ravens, Moore had five catches for 90 yards on six targets, all of which were season highs, and added 39 rushing yards.

Although he had just two catches and four targets in his first three games combined, Moore has now exceeded 60 yards from scrimmage in three of his past four games. Over his past four games, he has 16 catches for 227 yards and 75 rushing yards.

2. Keke Coutee, Houston Texans (20 percent)

Coutee missed Thursday night's game with a hamstring injury, but the Texans wide receiving corps suffered a bigger injury in that game as Will Fuller tore his ACL. Going forward, Coutee will have a large role within the passing offense once he's able to return from his injury. He's already had a couple of big games -- 11/109 on 15 targets and 6/51/1 in Weeks 4 and 5, respectively.

3. Mohamed Sanu, Atlanta Falcons (49 percent)

Sanu had a quiet game (2/21) before the team's Week 8 bye, but he was on a bit of a tear before that. Before that dud, Sanu had either 100-plus yards or a touchdown in four consecutive games. Given the team's injury-depleted defense, the Falcons need to rely on their high-powered Matt Ryan-led offense, which puts both Sanu and rookie Calvin Ridley in the WR3 discussion on a weekly basis.

4. Danny Amendola, Miami Dolphins (41 percent)

In addition to throwing a touchdown pass in Week 8, Amendola had five catches for 43 yards as well. To be fair, Amendola's receiving totals were less than expected given all of the injuries at receiver, but he has 8/59, 6/84/1 and 5/43 over his past three games, respectively. Miami has a Week 9 matchup against the Jets, who have allowed the fifth-most PPR points per game to opposing wide receivers this season.

5. Tyrell Williams, Los Angeles Chargers (31 percent)

When Williams posted a 3/118/2 line in Week 6, I thought there was no way that he would duplicate that production. And he didn't, sort of. While he finished with the same yardage total (118) in Week 7, he had one more catch and one fewer touchdown.

Getting only four targets in each of those games, the volume doesn't suggest that he can sustain that level (or even close to that level) of production coming out of the team's bye. It's not out of the question, though, that he finishes as a top-40 fantasy wide receiver the rest of the way.

6. Willie Snead, Baltimore Ravens (33 percent)

With double-digit targets in two of the past three games, Snead now has a minimum of seven targets in five consecutive games. In addition, Snead has at least five catches and 50 yards in four of those games. Better in PPR formats, Snead and Baltimore's receivers will face the Steelers in Week 9 and their division foes have allowed the sixth-most PPR fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season.

7. Courtland Sutton, Denver Broncos (10 percent)

Bad news first: Sutton has yet to exceed three receptions in any game this season. The good news, however, is that the rookie has either reached the 50-yard mark or scored a touchdown in each of his past five games. In the (perhaps unlikely) event that the Broncos trade Demaryius Thomas before Tuesday's deadline, Sutton's role could really expand as the season progresses.

8. David Moore, Seattle Seahawks (3 percent)

Russell Wilson isn't throwing it often -- 21, 23 and 17 pass attempts in his three most-recent games, respectively. That said, he has thrown exactly three touchdowns in each of those games.

Of those nine touchdowns, Moore has four of them as he extended his scoring streak to three games. Although he had failed to reach the 50-yard mark before this week, he set season highs in both receptions (four) and yards (91) on Sunday.

While Wilson is unlikely to continue to throw three touchdowns weekly on such low volume, Moore is at least worth a look in deeper leagues and he should be owned in more than three percent of Yahoo! leagues.

9. Cole Beasley, Dallas Cowboys (23 percent)

With the Cowboys trading for Amari Cooper, it's clear that he will be the focal point of the Cowboys passing attack sooner rather than later. Before their bye (and trade for Cooper), however, Beasley was becoming Dak Prescott's favorite target. The slot receiver from SMU had 9/101/2 and 7/56 in back-to-back games on 19 combined targets. It will take some time for Cooper to learn the offense and Beasley should continue to be a useful fantasy asset in deeper PPR leagues.

10. Tajae Sharpe, Tennessee Titans (1 percent)

Sharpe has 16 catches for 222 yards and a touchdown this season and nearly half of that production (7/101) came in his most-recent game. Can he build upon that outing? Sharpe and the Titans will face the Cowboys on Monday Night Football.

Baltimore Ravens 2018 Fantasy Football Projections

In addition to viewing our 2018 Fantasy Football Projections by position, we will post our preseason projections per team.

Below you will find our 2018 fantasy football projections for the Baltimore Ravens.

Quarterbacks

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	FL	Points
Joe Flacco	550.1	354.8	3631	20.4	13.2	20.3	46.7	1	0	211.11
The starter for 2018, it's possible/likely that Flacco doesn't see the end of his existing contract given the team's first-round investment in Lamar Jackson. While Flacco averaged a career-low 5.7 Y/A and was 0-for-16 in 300-yard games, Flacco has had a good training camp and preseason.
Lamar Jackson	20.1	11.7	143	0.6	0.5	16.3	106	1.3	0	25.52
Compared to Michael Vick due to his rare athletic gifts and big-play ability, Jackson has the potential to be an elite fantasy quarterback once he becomes the starter. Even though the Ravens will find a way to get Jackson on the field some in his rookie season, Flacco will likely start for all of 2018 and perhaps RG3 would still become the starter if Flacco were to miss a game or two. If he does become a spot starter at some point during the season, however, he'd be an instant streaming option.
Robert Griffin III	2.9	1.7	20	0.1	0.1	4.5	24.8	0.3	0	5.28

Running Backs

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	FL	Points
Alex Collins	218.3	982.4	6.8	29.8	232.4	0.7	2.4	161.68
With double-digit carries in the final 12 regular-season games, Collins was just 27 yards shy of the 1,000-yard rushing mark. Although he didn't get his first reception until Week 8, he had multiple receptions in eight of the final nine games. Moreover, the second-year back had the eighth-most fantasy points among running backs from Weeks 8 to 17.
Javorius Allen	76.8	299.5	1.6	39.3	235.8	2.4	0.8	75.93
Allen now has two seasons with 500-plus rushing yards and 45-plus receptions (2015 and 2017) with a season of 49 YFS in between. Even though 39 of Allen's 46 catches came between Week 2 to 9, the (now) retired Danny Woodhead had 30 catches over the final nine games of the season. There is some PPR upside for Allen in deeper leagues, but he's otherwise not on the re-draft radar.
Kenneth Dixon	104	447.2	2.7	12.8	75.5	0.5	0.6	70.27
Sidelined all of 2017 due to injury (and suspension), Dixon is at least behind Collins for touches in Baltimore's backfield. While I thought he was underrated entering the league, Dixon has now missed more games (20) than he has played (12) since being a fourth-round pick in 2016.
Patrick Ricard	0	0	0	1.5	10.5	0	0	1.05

Wide Receivers

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	FL	Points
Michael Crabtree	80.8	892.8	8.5	0	0	0	0.9	138.48
As part of a 1-2 punch with Amari Cooper in Oakland, Crabtree now becomes his team's No. 1 wideout. Over the past three seasons, Crabtree has 25 touchdowns -- eight-plus in each of the past three seasons.
John Brown	46.4	686.7	4.9	4.5	24.8	0.1	0.5	100.15
Since his breakout 2015 season (65/1,003/7), Brown has 60 catches for 816 yards and five touchdowns in 25 games over the past two seasons. That said, Brown has unanimously received praise from coaches and reporters throughout August and he carries plenty of upside with him in 2018 provided he can stay healthy.
Willie Snead	40.6	454.7	2	0	0	0	1.2	55.07
Snead had just eight catches over 11 games in 2017, but he posted 69/984/3 and 72/895/4 in 2015 and 2016, respectively. Snead has a chance to vastly exceed my current projections for him.
Jordan Lasley	18.6	230.6	1.3	2.3	9.2	0	0.5	30.78
Chris Moore	6.9	82.8	0.8	2.3	2.3	0	0.3	12.71
Breshad Perriman	1.2	13.4	0.1	0	0	0	0.1	1.74
The Ravens declined the fifth-year option on Perriman and he's not a lock to make the 53-man roster. In fact, ESPN's Jamison Hensley left Perriman off his 53-man roster projection.

Tight Ends

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	FL	Points
Hayden Hurst	37.4	396.4	3.2	0	0	0	0.8	57.24
Older than the typical rookie (turns 25 this month), Hurst was the first tight end off the board in the 2018 NFL Draft. As much as Flacco missed that reliable Dennis Pitta type, it's uncommon for rookie tight ends to make a significant fantasy impact. Unfortunately for Hurst, he'll likely miss the first couple of games as he had a foot procedure that will keep him sidelined for three to four weeks.
Nick Boyle	19.3	173.7	0.8	0	0	0	0.2	21.77
Mark Andrews	12.9	132.9	0.9	0.9	4.5	0	0.4	18.34

The starter for 2018, it's possible/likely that Flacco doesn't see the end of his existing contract given the team's first-round investment in Lamar Jackson. While Flacco averaged a career-low 5.7 Y/A and was 0-for-16 in 300-yard games, Flacco is reportedly having a good training camp.
Lamar Jackson	20.1	11.7	143	0.6	0.5	16.3	106	1.3	0	25.52
Compared to Michael Vick due to his rare athletic gifts and big-play ability, Jackson has the potential to be an elite fantasy quarterback once he becomes the starter. Even though the Ravens will find a way to get Jackson on the field some in his rookie season, Flacco will likely start for all of 2018 and perhaps RG3 would still become the starter if Flacco were to miss a game or two. If he does become a spot starter at some point during the season, however, he'd be an instant streaming option.

Running Backs

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	FL	Points
Alex Collins	218.3	982.4	6.8	29.8	232.4	0.7	2.4	161.68
With double-digit carries in the final 12 regular-season games, Collins was just 27 yards shy of the 1,000-yard rushing mark. Although he didn't get his first reception until Week 8, he had multiple receptions in eight of the final nine games. Moreover, the second-year back had the eighth-most fantasy points among running backs from Weeks 8 to 17.
Kenneth Dixon	113	485.9	2.9	13.7	80.8	0.5	0.6	75.87
Sidelined all of 2017 due to injury (and suspension), Dixon is at least behind Collins for touches in Baltimore's backfield. While I thought he was underrated entering the league, Dixon has now missed more games (20) than he has played (12) since being a fourth-round pick in 2016.
Javorius Allen	67.8	264.4	1.4	38.4	230.4	2.3	0.8	70.08
Allen now has two seasons with 500-plus rushing yards and 45-plus receptions (2015 and 2017) with a season of 49 YFS in between. Even though 39 of Allen's 46 catches came between Week 2 to 9, the (now) retired Danny Woodhead had 30 catches over the final nine games of the season. There is some PPR upside for Allen in deeper leagues, but he's otherwise not on the re-draft radar.

Wide Receivers

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	FL	Points
Michael Crabtree	82.5	899.3	8.7	0	0	0	0.9	140.33
As part of a 1-2 punch with Amari Cooper in Oakland, Crabtree now becomes his team's clear No. 1 wideout. Over the past three seasons, Crabtree has 25 touchdowns -- eight-plus in each of the past three seasons.
John Brown	41.9	607.6	4.4	4.5	24.8	0.1	0.5	89.24
Since his breakout 2015 season (65/1,003/7), Brown has 60 catches for 816 yards and five touchdowns in 25 games over the past two seasons. If his health cooperates, there is upside for Brown in 2018.
Willie Snead	42.7	478.2	2.1	0	0	0	1.2	58.02
Snead had just eight catches over 11 games in 2017, but he posted 69/984/3 and 72/895/4 in 2015 and 2016, respectively. Given the lack of productivity from Breshad Perriman and uncertainty with John Brown, Snead has a chance to vastly exceed my current projections for him.
Jordan Lasley	18.6	230.6	1.3	2.3	9.2	0	0.5	30.78
Chris Moore	6.9	82.8	0.8	2.3	2.3	0	0.3	12.71
Breshad Perriman	3.4	38.1	0.3	0	0	0	0.1	5.41
The Ravens declined the fifth-year option on Perriman and he's not a lock to make the 53-man roster with five newcomers (Crabtree, Brown and Snead as free agents and draft picks Jordan Lasley and Jaleel Scott). And drops continue to be a problem for the 24-year-old receiver.

Older than the typical rookie (turns 25 this month), Hurst was the first tight end off the board in the 2018 NFL Draft. As much as Flacco missed that reliable Dennis Pitta type, it's uncommon for rookie tight ends to make a significant fantasy impact.

2018 Fantasy Football Projections: Baltimore Ravens

Quarterbacks

Joe Flacco	538.6	347.4	3447	18.9	13.5	20.3	46.7	1	0	197.15
The starter for 2018, it's possible/likely that Flacco doesn't see the end of his existing contract given the team's first-round investment in Lamar Jackson. While I'd bet on Flacco starting all 16 games (barring injury) in 2018, a late-season switch if the team and/or Flacco struggles wouldn't be out of the question. Not only did Flacco average a career-low 5.7 Y/A, but he was 0-for-16 in 300-yard games for the first time since his rookie season.
Lamar Jackson	25.8	15	183	0.7	0.6	16.3	106	1.3	0	27.32
Compared to Michael Vick due to his rare athletic gifts and big-play ability, Jackson has the potential to be an elite fantasy quarterback once he becomes the starter.
