Marquise Brown

2020 projections: 67 receptions, 890 receiving yards, eight receiving touchdowns

The Baltimore Ravens weren’t a team that threw the ball much last season. However, if Lamar Jackson was targeting a wide receiver, it’s likely that Marquise Brown was the recipient on the play. Even though Mark Andrews led Baltimore in receiving, Brown led the Ravens wide receivers in nearly receiving stat.

Brown, who was taken in the first round by the Ravens, concluded his rookie season with 46 catches for 584 yards and seven touchdowns. The big-play wideout from Oklahoma would play a decent portion of the season with a hobbled ankle. Nonetheless, he still posted an impressive 123.2 quarterback rating when targeted (sixth-best in the NFL).

In terms of fantasy football, Brown averaged 0.56 fantasy points per route run, which was the eighth-best mark in the NFL. Even though the Ravens tend to run the ball often, Brown should be one of Lamar Jackson’s favorite targets once again.
