5 Key Ravens Down the Stretch
If the Ravens are going to win the AFC North and perhaps a No. 1 seed through a tough five-game stretch, they'll need these players to play big.
![RB Keaton Mitchell
The rookie served as the Ravens' lead running back in their final game before the bye against the Chargers. He has fresh legs ready to break a big play at any moment and the Ravens have shown they want to get him more involved in the offense. Mitchell is averaging a whopping 9.3 yards per carry. He could also take on a larger role as a receiver.](https://static.clubs.nfl.com/image/upload/t_new_photo_album/t_lazy/f_auto/ravens/xxmmwc6qozppjwtvtgoc.jpg)

![TE Isaiah Likely
With Mark Andrews sidelined indefinitely by his ankle injury, the Ravens need Likely to lead their tight end unit. He's a different player than Andrews, but Likely has shown good run-after-catch ability and could open up some other avenues for the offense. He got off to a good start in Los Angeles, leading the Ravens with 40 receiving yards.](https://static.clubs.nfl.com/image/upload/t_new_photo_album/t_lazy/f_auto/ravens/r4ae6smg4k7mrv5nv1uc.jpg)

![S Marcus Williams
Williams is back on the field and looking healthier after pectoral and hamstring injuries cost him six games through the first nine weeks. He has put together two straight, strong games against the Bengals and Chargers, and played 100% of the defensive snaps in both. If Williams is fully healthy, he's a difference-making ballhawk on the back end of Baltimore's defense.](https://static.clubs.nfl.com/image/upload/t_new_photo_album/t_lazy/f_auto/ravens/fxyyhbuga0mmman6j2qj.jpg)

![CB Marlon Humphrey
Like Williams, Humphrey's season has been challenging because of injuries. He missed the first four coming back from foot surgery, then the past two because of a calf injury. Humphrey has a chance to return after the bye, and it would be very welcomed with an upcoming run of top-flight receivers such as the Rams' Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua, Jaguars' Calvin Ridley, 49ers' Brandon Aiyuk, and Dolphins' Tyreek Hill.](https://static.clubs.nfl.com/image/upload/t_new_photo_album/t_lazy/f_auto/ravens/eunmmxctlyvdkn7i8r1h.jpg)

![LT Ronnie Stanley
Stanley returned from a second knee injury to face the Chargers but had a tough day against Khalil Mack. Head Coach John Harbaugh said Stanley, "needs to get stronger and get his technique right." As Harbaugh stated, Stanley is an All-Pro player, and the expectation is that he'll be better with improved health after the bye. Fumbles have been an issue for the Ravens offense this season and protecting Lamar Jackson's backside is of utmost importance.](https://static.clubs.nfl.com/image/upload/t_new_photo_album/t_lazy/f_auto/ravens/wxtscao3lkumk1xysvv4.jpg)
