Coming into the season, many were curious as to how the Ravens wide receiver corps, labeled “unproven” by the media, would perform. Through two weeks, wide receiver Rashod Bateman has amassed 167 receiving yards and two touchdowns, while wide receiver Devin Duvernay reeled in two touchdowns in Week 1 and two grabs for 42 yards in Week 2. Both have caught the attention of CBS’ Phil Simms, who sees the Ravens transitioning their offense.

“Bateman is by far their best route runner and [with] Duvernay, they can make big plays,” Simms said during the pre-game broadcast. “I think we’re seeing what the Ravens are slowly transitioning to: a passing offense and let Lamar do his thing.”

Through two weeks, Bateman has produced two 50+ yard plays and the receivers have caught five of Jackson’s six touchdown passes. With that in mind, Hensley believes “the big plays are back for the Ravens.”

“The Baltimore offense had lacked electricity recently, totaling two plays of at least 70 yards in the past two years,” Hensley wrote. “Downfield passing was a point of emphasis for the Ravens in training camp, and it has paid off early this season. In two games this season, Jackson has connected with wide receiver Rashod Bateman on touchdown passes of 55 and 75 yards.”
