Tandon Doss, Jacoby Jones, Deonte Thompson and Jesse Reed will all be vying to replace Anquan Boldin's production, and who will do so remains to remain seen.
Jones will definitely participate the puzzle, but he can be described as better fit as a third receiver. The value Jones gives to special teams should keep him from getting the starter. Also worth noting can be that Jones was never to capitalize on that Houston Texans' hole in wide receiver in this stint there, so there exists reason to doubt that he could become a quality starter in Baltimore.
Of which leaves Doss, Thompson together with Reed, with Doss for the reason that front-runner. Doss has the foremost experience of that group as well as the most career production, although he struggled with falls last season.
Thompson, meanwhile, has the most upside and talent within the group. He showed a knack last season to get open with his using speed and making acrobatic catches off his body.
The deep horse is Reed, who hasn't produced much in his a couple of years in Baltimore. The Ravens brought him back on a two-year contract, though, so they must see something within Reed.
Finally, the Ravens would shock nobody by obtaining a veteran either by business or through free company. The free agents to choose from aren't great, but roster cuts could change the niche significantly. If that doesn't happen, then a trade is surely a possibility.
So far as I'm concerned, no Raven did even more with fewer snaps a year ago than Deonte Thompson. He only played in mop-up responsibility, but he always endured out. With a year within the Ravens' system, Thompson has the potential to be a breakout performer. I expect the Ravens to gain a starter through trade or free agency, playing with that group, I'll require Thompson.
