Baltimore Ravens – Marquise Brown

Like Hardman, Brown is not the top target in his offense, but he is the primary downfield option for MVP frontrunner Lamar Jackson.

Tight end Mark Andrews is the focal point of the passing game. However, first-round pick Brown has made valuable contributions throughout his rookie year.

He has 43 catches for 563 yards and seven touchdowns despite missing three games through injury.

Brown is a threat to make big plays early and often. The Ravens are arguably the best team in the NFL at playing with a lead and Brown could well be crucial to helping them do that in their most important games of the campaign.
