Knowledge is power and the greatest asset you can acquire in order to compete for a fantasy football championship.
Here's your 2022 preview of the Baltimore Ravens, the 17th of 32 team profiles during draft season:
— 2022 Fantasy MVP: Lamar Jackson, QB
Jackson (ADP: 49) has a Per 17 Games average of 3,548 passing yards, 32 passing touchdowns against only 11 interceptions with 1,205 rushing yards and an additional six touchdowns on the ground in his three seasons as a full-time starter. He's one of the most likely candidates to finish as the best performer in fantasy this season.
— 2022 Fantasy Sleeper: Rashod Bateman, WR
Bateman (ADP: 85) is currently being drafted as fantasy's WR34 with 195 targets up for grabs in Baltimore's offense — Marquise Brown and Sammy Watkins are both gone. Bateman will be replacing Brown as the Ravens WR1 and he accounted for 146 of those targets, while finishing as PPR's WR22 (he was WR25 in standard formats).
— 2022 Fantasy Bust: Mark Andrews, TE
Andrews (ADP: 24) had 54 targets in the five games Jackson missed in 2021, an average of 10.8 per game. He averaged 8.25 targets per game with Jackson active. Andrews is almost a lock to finish in the top-five at his position, but if you're drafting him in the first two rounds, you're probably expecting him to come close to last season's production. He obliterated his career bests in targets (by 55), receptions (by 43) and yards (by 509). If he produces closer to 2019-20 levels — which was really good — he's going to be a disappointment.
— 2022 Fantasy Rookie to watch: Isaiah Likely, TE
Likely (ADP: 282) has caught all 12 of his targets through two games this preseason. He's made four contested catches and produced seven avoided tackles. He was one of my favorite prospects in the 2022 NFL draft and if you take Andrews early, you might want his handcuff — normally I don't advise this for tight ends.
