Ravens News 1/28: WR Inefficiencies and more

WIDE RECEIVERS

Traditional stats show that Ravens wideouts earned the fewest total receiving yards (1,729) of any NFL group this season. Pro Football Focus ranked Baltimore’s receivers 29th overall, while my models show that the unit’s total win share sat at 30th. Of course, there’s additional context here, including the fact that star tight end Mark Andrews was injured for part of the season, which affected how opponents covered Ravens wideouts. But the receivers’ off-ball metric (which measures how WRs spread opposing defenses and create space for other pass catchers or the run game) was the worst in the NFL.
