Joe Flacco (Quarterback): Joe Flacco has been a bit everywhere this preseason, throwing a couple of picks and touchdowns however Flacco should turn it on as the season progresses. He will be a standard backup quarterback but I would be weary making him a starter.

Justin Forsett (Running Back): Forsett was a nice surprise in 2014 for waiver wire hawks. He managed to fill in for Ray Rice perfectly if not better. The main question with Forsett is can he do it again? The NFL journeyman has been on several teams and has yet to really make an impact until last year. Forsett is being taken in the late 2nd to 3rd rounds and should have a relatively stable season.

Lorenzo Taliaferro, Buck Allen (Running Back): Taliaferro suffered a knee sprain that will keep him out for some time, Buck Allen is the default rusher behind him and Forsett. Allen failed to impress in preseason and will likely be the lesser of the handcuffs.

Crocket Gillmore (Tight End): Gillmore will get the start, and seemingly be Flacco's main tight end for the remainder of the year.

Steve Smith SR (Wide Receiver): Steve Smith should be a solid low WR 2- WR 3 range, this is his last year before he retires but he did vanish from fantasy radars towards the end of last season. 

Kamar Aiken (Wide Receiver): For now is the number 2 receiver with Perriman's injury. It will be hard for him to keep that position if the Ravens first round pick regains his health.

Breshad Perriman (Wide Receiver): Perriman has been sidelined with a knee injury for most of the preseason and is likely to miss week 1. He was drafted as an immediate starter to take the place of Torrey Smith however he has barely seen the field. Perriman has no timeline for return. If he is healthy around the middle of the season he could be a great sleeper pick.

Marlon Brown, Michael Campanaro (Wide Receivers): The other Ravens wide receivers will have to make up for Perriman's inability to play so they should put up some sporadic numbers as the season goes along.
