3 Baltimore Ravens who must become more involved in offense

There are a few Baltimore Ravens who have to get more involved in the offense. Let’s begin with Hayden Hurst:

Hayden Hurst is one of the most dependable targets in the Baltimore Ravens offense. He has 14 receptions for 141 yards and a touchdown.  When his name is called in the passing attack he always snatches the football out of the air. Hurst has the ability to be a real play-maker from the tight end position. While Mark Andrews is the star of the position (a player that compares to Travis Kelce and George Kittle) Hurst has the chops to be a featured star in the offense. There is no reason Hurst can’t be a Dennis Pitta like receiving option for the purple and black.

The wide receiver position isn’t the strong suit of this offense. Marquise Brown is having a good rookie season when he’s on the field. Brown has missed the last two games and it’s baffling how Hurst’s involvement in the offense hasn’t increased. Seth Roberts and Chris Moore are only going to give the offense so much, the tight ends are what makes this thing go for Lamar Jackson. With all the multiple tight end sets, the Ravens really need to pay that off with more production from Hurst. The passing game needs somebody to step up and a move for a wide receiver is very unlikely. The answer is Hurst.

Hurst only had one reception against the Seahawks and it was a big one. The Ravens were facing a big third down and Jackson rolled out of the pocket. The only viable option on the play was passing the ball to Hurst along the sideline. Hurst made a very impressive catch, getting two feet in for the crucial first down. When has a player done this much right as a blocker and a receiver and been this unrewarded in terms of targets? This has to change.
