The Ravens are 3-2, and after a promising start that had some talking about a potential Super Bowl appearance, the team’s injury issues and sloppy play now have them at No. 2 in the AFC North.
Baltimore sits behind Pittsburgh in the standings, and a Sunday matchup against Tennesse in London could leave the organization sitting at 3-3 ahead of a matchup against the physical Detroit Lions.
Buy Ravens TicketsAhead of Wednesday’s first practice in London, we’re looking at whose stock is up and whose stock is down ahead of Week 7.
Stock down --John Harbaugh
It was the accidental fourth down attempt, the lack of a true identity in the running game, and a refusal to find a hot hand at running back.
There have been discussions about Harbaugh’s job status and his stock is firmly down after another ugly loss.
Stock up-- Lamar Jackson
Jackson averaged a season-high 7.7 air yards per completion against the Steelers, and he looked comfortable making plays from the pocket, despite the drops.
Stock down --Ravens pass catchers
Baltimore dropped seven passes Sunday, according to Pro Football Focus. Those accounted for about half of Jackson’s 15 incompletions.
The drops clearly cost the Ravens points. Rashod Bateman dropped a pass in the end zone in the second quarter and Nelson Agholor had a ball go through his hands on a deep pass in the third.
Stock down--Odell Beckham
Beckham was the Ravens big offseason signing at wide receiver, had only two catches for 13 yards in his return from an ankle injury.
Beckham has 7 catches for 79 yards overall.
Stock up -- Zay Flowers
The rookie from Boston College has quickly assumed the role of the Ravens top pass catcher on the outside.
Flowers has 29 catches for 317 yards, while still searching for his first career touchdown.
Stock Up--Mark Andrews
The talented tight end has 20 catches for 225 yards and three touchdowns since returning to the lineup.
Stock Down--Rashod Bateman
In four games played, Bateman is averaging two catches and about 16.8 yards per contest, and he’s been extremely dissapointing through five weeks.
Stock down--Isaiah Likely
Baltimore is running less two tight end sets, and Likely has been invisible through five weeks, logging three catches for 32 yards on four targets.
Stock up--Roquan Smith
One of the NFL’s leading tacklers, Smith sets the tone for the Baltimore defense.
Stock up-Kyle Hamilton
Hamilton has 1 interception, 2 passes defended, 3 sacks, 24 tackles, 4 tackles for loss and 3 QB hits.
