ESPN: Ranking NFL team WR, TE, RB talent for 2024 season: Top players

Do the Ravens have a big three? There's a scenario in which it plays out that way. Zay Flowers was promising as a rookie, although it was in more of a gadget role than you would expect from a traditional top wide receiver. Mark Andrews has been excellent when healthy, but that 1,361-yard season from 2021 is close to double what he has averaged across his other five NFL seasons, often owing to injuries and limited snap counts. While recognizing he's capable of elite performance, it's tough to believe Andrews is going to be a 1,300-yard receiver again in 2024. (Having Isaiah Likely here as a backup is valuable, given that he might be a top-20 receiving tight end in his own right.)

Derrick Henry's move from the Titans to the Ravens will be fascinating. The top-end acceleration that made him a sensation at his peak probably isn't there anymore, as the running back who gained 30 yards or more once every 52 carries between 2019 and 2020 has done that once every 106 carries since. In the passing game, he has never been more than a change of pace who can terrify defensive backs on screens, and while he didn't fumble last season, he fumbled six times in 2022.

And yet, would you be surprised if this move revitalized Henry's career? He's still productive enough as a runner; he had 84 rush yards over expectation behind a horrible offensive line last season. Playing alongside Lamar Jackson will slow down linebacker flow and give weakside defensive ends something to think about as they try to chase Henry down on outside zone, creating more space for him in the run game.

A resurgent Henry would go a long way for Baltimore. The organization has talked up Rashod Bateman this offseason, but it's tough to find many wide receivers who have been this unproductive through three seasons, even allowing for injuries, who have then broken out in Year 4. More than anything, given how many times the Ravens had had their playmakers go down the past few years, let's just hope for a full season with Henry, Flowers and Andrews all on the field together.
