Ravens' WR Room Has Perfect Hands To Start Season

The Baltimore Ravens wide receivers have not dropped a single pass to start the year.

The Baltimore Ravens wide receiver group has started the season perfect, not dropping a single pass in the first two games. 

Five different receivers have seen targets from the Ravens' star quarterback Lamar Jackson this season, and not a single one of them has dropped a pass yet according to PFF. Rookie wide receiver Zay Flowers leads the team in targets with 15 so far.

Flowers has turned those 15 targets into 13 receptions for 140 yards, an impressive line for the rookie. He was drafted by Baltimore with the No. 22 overall pick in the draft out of Boston College on the same night that Jackson signed a five-year, $260 million contract extension. 

This is by far the best receiving group that Jackson has had in his career, which is part of the reason why he decided to sign his extension. In addition to Flowers, the Ravens brought Odell Beckham Jr. and Nelson Agholor in this offseason. Beckham Jr. signed a one-year, $15 million contract and Agholor a two-year, $22 million contract.

Baltimore's receivers have turned 37 targets into 29 catches for 322 yards and a touchdown. Part of the reason that Jackson was considering finding a new team was because of the front office's failure to put good weapons around him. 

Last season, the Ravens' two leading wide receivers were Demarcus Robinson with 458 yards and Devin Duvernay with 407 yards. To put that into perspective, this season Duvernay has the least targets of any wide receiver on the team, turning three targets into zero catches. Robinson hasn't seen a single target through two games with the Los Angeles Rams, even in a wide receiver group that has been decimated by injury. 

Baltimore will return to action on Sept. 24 at 1 p.m. at home against the Indianapolis Colts.
