Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Anthony Miller was signed a week ago and initially just looked like another fresh and healthy body to help get the Ravens through the preseason. However, Miller has made an instant impression with his speed and is at least in the mix late in training camp for a 53-man roster spot, according to The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec. It remains to be seen if he has done enough to pass Tylan Wallace on the receiver depth chart, though. Miller has made a few plays in just about every Ravens practice and had three receptions on three consecutive plays in the second preseason game against the Atlanta Falcons. The 29-year-old former second-round pick in 2018 by the Chicago Bears out of Memphis hasn't appeared in an NFL game since 2021, when he caught six passes for 25 yards and a touchdown in three games with Houston and Pittsburgh. Even if Miller somehow makes the final roster, he'll be coming off the bench for Baltimore.
Baltimore Ravens rookie fifth-round running back Rasheen Ali (neck) had a quiet start to training camp, struggled in short-yardage situations in the preseason opener against the Eagles and suffered what head coach John Harbaugh called a stinger. Ali hasn't been on the field since and didn't play in the second preseason game on Saturday against the Falcons. His top competitor for the No. 3 RB role, Owen Wright, caught a touchdown pass on Saturday. Ali has a lot of ground to make up on Wright this week and must first get back on the field at training camp. The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec suggests Ali isn't guaranteed a 53-man roster spot out of camp at this point, and the Ravens have cut or traded rookie fifth-round picks in two of the past three years. The 23-year-old obviously is not on the fantasy radar in redraft leagues right now.
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (undisclosed) did not practice on Monday, but head coach John Harbaugh said, "Don't worry about Mark; he's going to be fine." The 28-year-old was involved in a car crash last week, but he reportedly did not suffer any injuries. It's unclear why Andrews is currently out of action, but it doesn't sound as if he's at risk of missing any meaningful time. Andrews missed seven games last season after suffering a cracked fibula and an ankle ligament injury, but he returned for the AFC Championship Game against the Kansas City Chiefs. He should be ready to go when the season begins, and even though rising wideout Zay Flowers presents solid target competition, Andrews could still be Lamar Jackson's top target in the passing game. He's priced around the TE5 spot in preseason drafts and has overall TE1 upside.
Baltimore Ravens running back Owen Wright scored his first touchdown of the preseason on Saturday during the 13-12 win over the Atlanta Falcons. The Monmouth product didn't register an efficient ground game with just nine yards on eight carries, but he was able to haul in his lone target for a six-yard touchdown. The throw came from veteran Josh Johnson who found Wright for a dump-off on the far side of the field. Wright was able to extend while getting hit and find the pylon for the touchdown. Right now, with Rasheen Ali (undisclosed) still sidelined, Wright is trying to make a case to be the fourth-string back once Keaton Mitchell (knee) returns.
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Dayton Wade continued to be the top pass-catcher in both targets and receiving yards on Saturday afternoon. This time, the rookie out of Ole Miss registered a big-time scoring play in the third quarter while working with fellow rookie Emory Jones. Wade was targeted four times in this contest and caught two of them for 67 yards and a touchdown. His biggest play was a 56-yard catch-and-run where he used a great stutter-step move to fake out the defensive back and break free. Once he was wide open, Jones delivered a perfect ball and Wade trotted in for the score. After two preseason games, Wade has six receptions on nine targets for 94 yards and one touchdown. With Devontez Walker (ribs) ailing from a rib injury, Wade could be playing himself higher up on the depth chart than expected.
