Following a protracted and tumultuous offseason for the Baltimore Ravens, the time has lastly come to return to the sphere of play with actual stakes on the road for one more season. With a number of new additions to the workforce, the Ravens have the likelihood for a number of new leaders in numerous stat classes in comparison with latest years.

The Baltimore Beatdown employees shares their predictions for which participant will lead the workforce in every main statistical class and what that can seem like.

Lamar Jackson’s passing stats

4,100 passing yards, 38 passing touchdowns with 8 interceptions

With Todd Monken calling performs but permitting him the liberty to name his personal pictures and make pre-snap changes, the empowered two-time Professional Bowler is destined to place up career-best numbers via the air with all of the playmakers he has at his disposal.

— Joshua Reed

4,060 passing yards, 31 passing touchdowns with 11 interceptions

Jackson enjoys his finest season since his untouchable 2019 MVP marketing campaign. With extra quantity within the passing assault, Jackson lastly eclipses the 4,000-yard passing mark whereas throwing for the second-most touchdowns in a season in his profession.

— Dustin Cox

3,800 passing yards, 34 touchdowns and 11 interceptions

With extra makes an attempt in a higher-volume passing assault, Jackson ought to simply set a career-high in passing yardage. He may come shut or eclipse his 2019 complete for passing touchdowns, as nicely, which was 36. Jackson threw 13 interceptions in 2021 and 7 in 2022, each in 12 video games every.

— Frank Platko

Speeding yards

J.Ok. Dobbins: 1,150 yards

Now that he’s over two years faraway from his preliminary main knee harm and heading right into a contract yr, I anticipate the previous second-round decide to have the breakout yr so many fantasy soccer analysts and house owners envisioned forward of the 2021 season. A totally wholesome Dobbins will possible be extra featured in a Monken offense that also believes within the significance of operating the ball.

— Joshua Reed

J.Ok. Dobbins: 1,065 yards

The supremely gifted again is poised for his finest season so far as he seems more likely to command a bigger position in Monken’s offense than he has prior to now below Greg Roman’s committee strategy to the run sport.

— Dustin Cox

J.Ok Dobbins: 1,100 yards

Dobbins is primed for a breakout season in a contract yr. An expanded workload and good well being ought to see him cross the 1,000-yard threshold. His quantity may nonetheless finally be capped, although, particularly in a better frequency passing sport this season.

— Frank Platko

Speeding touchdowns

Lamar Jackson: 12 touchdowns

In his closing season on the College of Georgia, former Bulldogs quarterback Stetson Bennett recorded a career-high 10 speeding touchdowns, benefiting from all of the open lanes to select from when defenses have been unfold out by their formations below Monken. Jackson is probably the most dynamic dual-threat quarterback in league historical past so predicting a dozen speeding scores would possibly really be lowballing it.

— Joshua Reed

J.Ok. Dobbins: 9 touchdowns

I nonetheless predict that Gus Edwards and Jackson will vulture some pink zone carries away from Dobbins, however I do consider that he would be the major runner in Monken’s offense and may lead the workforce in each speeding classes.

— Dustin Cox

J.Ok. Dobbins: 9 touchdowns

Dobbins been an environment friendly pink zone performer in his profession to date. He had 9 touchdowns as a rookie and will simply match that determine in 2023. The Ravens may get inventive in scoring possibilities this season however giving the ball to Dobbins provides a excessive likelihood of success.

— Frank Platko

Receiving yards

Odell Beckham Jr.: 1,075 yards

The final time that the three-time Professional Bowler recorded 1,000 or extra yards receiving was in 2019 below Monken with the Cleveland Browns. Now that they’ve been reunited in Baltimore, Beckham is absolutely wholesome and paired with the perfect quarterback that he’s ever performed with, this projection appears very attainable.

— Joshua Reed

Mark Andrews: 950 yards

Even with the entire fancy new toys Jackson has to throw to on the vast receiver place, I nonetheless consider it will likely be the outdated dependable tight finish that he continues to favor via the air. With so many high quality choices within the passing sport now, defenses will likely be unable to key in on stopping Andrews as closely as they’ve lately which may result in many extra large performs from the All-Professional. That being mentioned, with mentioned choices for Jackson, I don’t suppose a single participant will eclipse 1,000 receiving yards.

— Dustin Cox

Rashod Bateman: 960 yards

The highlight will likely be off Bateman this yr and the stress of being the workforce’s No. 1 wideout is alleviated. He’s due for good well being and might now reap the benefits of much less consideration from protection’s high cornerbacks. Nobody receiver might crack 1,000 yards with the ball being unfold out.

— Frank Platko

Receptions

Mark Andrews: 70 catches

The three-time Professional Bowler has led the workforce on this statistical class for the previous 4 years and regardless of the inflow of recent pass-catching expertise on the receiver place, I don’t foresee that altering barring harm. He’s one in every of Jackson’s most trusted targets and can possible profit from much less consideration that can inevitably be paid to him due to the opposite weapons within the offense.

— Joshua Reed

Mark Andrews: 85 catches

As I mentioned earlier, I nonetheless predict Jackson to favor Andrews within the passing assault. I consider the ball will likely be unfold round rather more than in earlier seasons below Jackson, nevertheless.

— Dustin Cox

Mark Andrews: 68 catches

Andrews will nonetheless be the first focus of the passing assault and Jackson’s security valve. Extra three-wideout units ought to open up the sphere extra for Andrews to see open appears in smooth spots. A tempo of 4 catches per sport, on common, would deliver him proper round a complete of 68 for the yr.

— Frank Platko

Receiving touchdowns

Mark Andrews: 11 touchdowns

For a similar causes I beforehand acknowledged, the sixth-year veteran is the obvious and certain candidate as a result of he is usually a pink zone monster in opposition to spread-out defenses even when he nonetheless will get double-covered.

— Joshua Reed

Mark Andrews: 8 touchdowns

Andrews will stay the perfect pink zone goal at Jackson’s disposal. I do suppose that Odell Beckham Jr. may give him a run for his cash on this class although.

— Dustin Cox

Mark Andrews: 9 touchdowns

Jackson will nonetheless look Andrews’ method when the chips are down, and that’s more likely to be very true within the pink zone. He may simply rating just a few extra instances than final season, when he had 5 touchdowns, particularly with much less consideration from defenses and more room accessible.

— Frank Platko

Sacks

Odafe Oweh: 12 sacks

After his sophomore season fell in need of expectations, the previous first-rounder would possibly bounce again in a giant method in a pivotal third season and change into the primary Ravens defender to document double-digit sacks in a season since Terrell Suggs in 2017.

— Joshua Reed

Odafe Oweh: 6 sacks

I don’t count on any single participant to have a monster yr on this class for Baltimore. Oweh seems able to take a step in his improvement below pass-rush guru Chuck Smith this season, however Mike Macdonald will possible need to proceed to fabricate an efficient move rush with heavy quantities of blitzing and deception this season.

— Dustin Cox

Justin Madubuike: 8 sacks

Madubuike’s sack complete jumped from 2.2 to 5 final season. The same improve could be within the playing cards as he ascends into 12 months 4. He’s the workforce’s finest inside pass-rusher and is more likely to play much more snaps with Calais Campbell gone now. In a contract yr, each sack counts in the direction of Madubuike incomes a pay day within the offseason.

— Frank Platko

Interceptions

Marcus Williams: 9 interceptions

The seventh-year veteran was on a league-leading tempo via the primary 4 video games of the season final yr earlier than struggling a dislocated wrist. So long as he stays wholesome, Williams’ ballhawk abilities will likely be on full show this season.

— Joshua Reed

Marcus Williams: 6 interceptions

The Ravens’ large free agent acquisition from a yr in the past was enjoying at an outstanding stage final yr earlier than struggling a wrist harm. Williams is pivotal to Baltimore’s secondary this season with so many unknowns on the cornerback place, even when Marlon Humphrey returns. I count on him to have a giant season and to make his first Professional Bowl.

— Dustin Cox

Marcus Williams: 6 interceptions

Williams matched his career-high with 4 interceptions final season in simply 10 appearances. His seamless slot in Mike Macdonald’s protection affords him loads of ball-hawking alternatives within the secondary. A rise upon final yr’s complete is within the playing cards, which ought to make him one of many league-leaders in interceptions as nicely.
