1. Breshad Perriman:
I’ve been way out in front on this one, Breshad Perriman is going to have a breakout season. His 33 reception performance in 2016 may seem pretty mild, but in the second half of the season, we saw reason for excitement. He had 20 receptions from week eight to the end of the year. In five games in 2016 he had a play that went over 35 yards.
Now that Perriman has a chemistry with Flacco, and a little experience to work with, he’s going to have a much better performance. The Ravens are looking for him to not just be a big play guy, but to be a consistent player that Flacco can rely on. Look for Perriman to have 60-75 receptions this year for six or seven touchdowns (at least).

The addition of Jeremy Maclin only helps Perriman. Now the defense can’t just key in on stopping him. Maclin, Perriman and Wallace make a really speedy trio and it should help all three players be productive. That’s really good news for Ravens fans, who want to see more from Perriman, and more from the offense.
