This scheme involves timing routes that usually break at least 10

Despite a turbulent 2017 Marty Mornhinweg was retained as the Ravens offensive coordinator. For fantasy purposes that is a frustrating development. Rarely has Mornhinweg had an absolute target hog within his scheme. Not since he was the head coach for the 2-14 2001 Lions has a pass catcher on his watch received more than 125

Carter Donnick’s 2018 NFL Draft WR Rankings

Devy / By /

Pick your flavor.  That’s essentially what this WR class has to offer. Full of dynamic slot types, perimeter red-zone targets, and a few core all-around prospects, this pass-catching group is unlike any I have seen. The deepest I’ve scouted, possibly of any position since I started scouting, this squad of wideouts doesn’t have a star
