Which wide receiver will separate himself from the competition?
The wide receiver battle has been heated, with multiple guys fighting for one or two roster spots. In week one, Kamar Aiken made his case by leading the team in receiving. But then he played sparingly in week two, while Delonte Thompson stepped up and recorded two spectacular kickoff returns, one a 108 yard return for a touchdown. Who will make their mark this week?
There is a lot of debate on how many wide receivers the Ravens will ultimately keep on the final roster. And this is a good problem for the team to have. But regardless, at least one of these receivers could get the axe on Tuesday, when the first wave of roster cuts will take place. This may be somebody’s last chance to save themselves by making an impression on the coaching staff.
