| |  | Baltimore Ravens
|
OutlookThe Ravens won the Super Bowl last year, so expectations are at an all-time high for this team. It will be hard for them to repeat, but they obviously have the potential to do so based on last season. The big issue will be how the Ravens replace their leader, Ray Lewis. His play wasn't the best last year but he motivated the team and they seemed to rally around him. Baltimore is a playoff team but making a return trip to the Super Bowl will be very difficult. |
|
Deonte Thompson, WR. Thompson has a good shot to open the season as the starting receiver opposite Torrey Smith. This would give him obvious upside in an emerging Ravens passing game. Thompson had just five receptions his rookie season but the Ravens like his potential going forward. Thompson isn't a big receiver but has good speed and hands. He could end up being a good spot starter for fantasy teams if he gets consistent targets. |
|
Joe Flacco, QB.. Flacco had a breakout performance in the playoffs, leading his team to a Super Bowl victory. He got a huge contract in the offseason and will be the franchise quarterback for years to come in Baltimore. The problem is Flacco isn't an elite quarterback for fantasy purposes. He wins games but his fantasy numbers have never been off the charts. Don't overvalue him based of his performance during last year's playoffs. He isn't going to be a legit weekly option for fantasy teams, especially compared to all the other top talent at the quarterback position. |

He looks healthy, and he will continue to work on his conditioning. He seems to be very committed. Love the way he's playing and his effort.' | | Jun 17, 08:53 AM |
Baltimore Ravens RB Ray Rice said he's ready to step into a leadership role for the team. 'A leadership role is something I definitely don't mind taking upon now, because I was mentored by one of the greatest leaders probably ever to play the game in Ray Lewis,' Rice said. 'A lot of his leading was by example, and when he spoke, everybody listened because they had that respect for him. So I think being a leader comes with how much respect people have for you. These guys look at the way I work and they understand that my actions are going to show on the field.' | | Jun 16, 11:53 AM |
