Ravens WR Marlon Brown no lock for a roster spot

Baltimore Sun

Ravens beat writer Jeff Zrebiec:

I’ve been saying for months that Marlon Brown is a lock for one of the wide receiver spots in what has been the most-scrutinized position competition of training camp. But now, I’m not so sure.

Brown, to no fault of his own, missed most of the first couple of weeks of training camp with back and hamstring injuries. But since his return, he hasn’t looked right.

He isn’t getting a ton of reps and he’s been extremely tentative, failing to get much separation on defensive backs. I’m sure the injuries have a lot to do with it, but Brown may be playing himself onto the roster bubble, especially if Michael Campanaro stays healthy and Jeremy Butler and Darren Waller have good preseasons.

Two weeks ago, I would have predicted with some confidence that the Ravens’ regular-season roster would include seven receivers: Steve Smith, Kamar Aiken, Brown, Campanaro, Breshad Perriman, Waller and Jeremy Butler. Now, I’m not so sure.

Fantasy Impact: 

Campanaro is making a push to be the team's slot receiver, and if Perriman returns and takes over as the WR2, then Brown will be vying with Aiken for snaps as the team's WR4. If Perriman remains sidelined, then Aiken/Brown could be battling for a starting job.

Ravens first-round pick Breshad Perriman missed his 12th straight practice Monday with a knee injury. The No. 26 overall pick has been out since landing hard after a reception on July 30, but head coach John Harbaugh recently acknowledged that Perriman's injury might be more than just a bruise, according to The Baltimore Sun.

"He's got whatever they want to call it with his knee situation there," Harbaugh said. "It’s not something that’s going to keep him out for a long period of time, they tell me. If I was a doctor, I’d give you more. … We come out here, and we expect definitive answers on injuries from coaches. I didn’t take those classes in college. I wasn’t interested."

Harbaugh is still optimistic that Perriman will return during the preseason.

"He’ll be back sometime here in training camp, hopefully soon,” Harbaugh added. "I hate that he’s missing it, hate that he’s not out here. I’ve got a knot in the pit of my stomach, in some ways, about it. In other ways, I know it’s out of our control and I put it in God’s hands and let him take care of it. To me, that’s the best strategy right there."

Fellow receivers Kamar Aiken (leg) and Marlon Brown (back) were back at practice Monday while Michael Campanaro sat out for undisclosed reasons.

WR Michael Campanaro's electric 45-yard touchdown in the Baltimore Ravens' preseason opener was the result of great route-running, determination after the catch and hard work to stay healthy this summer.

Campanaro is standing out in the Ravens' wide receiver competition because of his ability to make big plays and stay on the field. It shouldn't go unnoticed that Campanaro is the only returning receiver from last year's team to participate in every training camp practice this year.

Steve Smith received a veteran day off. Kamar Aiken sat out a day because of fatigue. Marlon Brown missed time with back and hamstring injuries. Plus, first-round pick Breshad Perriman injured his knee on the first day of camp and hasn't returned.

Suiting up every day is as much of a statement for Campanaro as his first touchdown in Baltimore.

"It feels great just being healthy, out there playing," Campanaro said. "I’m not even thinking about it. Just out there playing free.”

Fantasy Impact: 

Durability was one of the reasons why he lasted until the seventh round in 2014. Injuries curtailed his impact as a rookie. There's no one questioning his talent. Campanaro is a savvy pass catcher with great hands. In limited action last year, he was Joe Flacco's surest target, catching a team-best 84.6 percent of the the passes thrown his direction in the regular season and playoffs.

Justin Forsett

Ravens release initial depth chart

Crockett Gillmore, who is atop the tight end depth chart, has always been the clear favorite to start. Wide receiver Kamar Aiken, listed as the starter opposite Steve L Smith, was more productive than Marlon Brown last year, and unlike Brown and first-round pick Breshad Perriman, he’s stayed healthy and had a strong start to camp.

Lorenzo Taliaferro is listed as the No.2 running back behind Justin Forsett. Forsett, Taliaferro and Javorius Allen all complement each other very well. Forsett has vision and experience, and does most things, including picking up blitzes and catching the ball out of the backfield, well. Taliaferro is the power guy, and Allen has good hands and is extremely elusive

Fantasy Impact: 

Gillmore is a deep sleeper at tight end. He was a former third round pick, so he's no slouch. It's no sure thing that Maxx Williams overtakes him this season. We're expecting Perriman to win the starting job, but he has to get healthy. Taliaferro appears to be the best handcuff for Forsett, though the team would likely use a committee in the event of a Forsett injury.
