The Baltimore Ravens’ receiving corps has been on fire, fueling an electric offense that’s piled up points throughout the first two weeks.

Ravens wide receivers Zay Flowers, DeAndre Hopkins, and Devontez Walker each bring something special to Lamar Jackson‘s passing attack.

Zay Flowers Keeps Building Momentum

Flowers looks more comfortable each week. After his amazing performance in Week 1, he followed up with another strong performance in Week 2. So far, he has 14 receptions for 218 yards, including a touchdown.

Among Ravens wide receivers, Flowers’ speed and separation skills give Lamar Jackson a reliable go-to option. His consistency shows he’s ready to become a true No.1.

DeAndre Hopkins Proves Doubters Wrong

Many were calling Hopkins washed; his incredible catches have proved that he still has gas left in the tank.

Hopkins’ contested grabs were each highlight-worthy, showing his strong hands and elite body control, both of which have carried him to a very successful career in the NFL. He may not get a ton of volume, but he remains dangerous whenever the ball comes his way.

Devontez Walker Makes Instant Impact

Second-year wide receiver Devontez Walker found himself back in the end zone twice against the Cleveland Browns in Week 2. Walker is starting to become important in this wide receiver group as he has three catches for three touchdowns in his career.

Walker’s size and speed makes him an instant threat, giving the Ravens another secret weapon that defenses must respect.

Ravens Wide Receivers Are Delivering

Through two weeks, these wide receivers have provided a lot of yards and touchdowns for this Ravens offense. Their production adds balance to Derrick Henry‘s ground attack and gives Lamar Jackson more options than he has had in years. The Ravens’ wide receivers are proving Baltimore’s passing game can just be as explosive as the run game.
