Projected Starters

It doesn't really matter who starts because the trio of Wallace, Maclin and Perriman will all get a lot of action. It's anyone's guess who will see the most targets among them. All can be used outside, but Maclin may be best-suited for working in the slot because of his strong route-running ability. He took more than 40 percent of his snaps lined up inside last year for the Kansas City Chiefs.

Wallace led the Ravens in receiving yards (1,017) in a resurgent 2016 season. Perriman has looked primed for a breakout after a strong summer. Maclin is looking to rebound into his 1,000-yard form after an injury-plagued final season in Kansas City.

Key Role Players

The Ravens want to see Moore take the next step in his development. The fourth-round pick out of Cincinnati caught seven passes for 46 yards last season, but he'll likely get more chances this year. Moore brought big-play potential from college. If healthy, Campanaro would also add a different wrinkle as he always has with the ball in his hands. Reynolds is another slot/returner option.

Most Anticipated Battle

With the top four spots pretty much locked up, the competition is for the fifth and sixth spots on the roster. Campanaro would be a leader in that challenge, but another injury cost him much of this summer's practices. Matthews has been impressive and Reynolds has improved. Bell got some extended time with the first-team offense in practice while Mayle is shifting more to tight end. The undrafted rookies are also talented, and some (especially White) bring return ability.
