Ravens Training Camp Primer: Wide Receivers
· Yahoo Sports
One of the biggest issues the Baltimore Ravens have had is putting together a wide receiver unit that complements Lamar Jackson and adds more help for Zay Flowers.

Despite the unit's lack of total production in recent years, there could be a significant change in 2026. Armed with young upstarts, the room could blossom into one of the better units on the team if the competition among the group yields the results it should.
That said, here is a look at the Ravens wide receiver room ahead of training camp.
Zay Flowers
Not much needs to be said about Zay Flowers, as the rising star has done what he needs to do to put himself in the conversation of being a top 10 receiver in the league. Despite the constant critiques, he has 3,128 yards and 14 touchdowns through three years.
Flowers has been the main weapon for Jackson, and remains the biggest deep-ball threat the team has.
Rashod Bateman
Rashod Bateman continues to be a question mark in the grand scheme of the Ravens' pass catchers. He had a strong 2024 season, putting together 756 yards and nine touchdowns, but that appears to be an outlier.
Bateman may have one more year to prove that he can be the true option next to Flowers, or he may be replaced by the up-and-coming young catchers on this Baltimore team.
Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker may experience a third-year jump, and he continues to receive praise from Flowers and the rest of the offense. If he can show that he is ready for a bigger role, the WR3 position might go directly to him.
LaJohntay Wester
LaJohntay Wester has carved out a solid role as a returner in the Ravens' offense, and that has likely made him an invaluable piece of the offense. With a 24.6 kickoff return yard average, he is becoming a strong special teams ace.
Ja'Kobi Lane
USC prospect Ja'Kobi Lane is one of two rookies who has a lot of promise behind him thus far. The tall and physical receiver has been lining up to do some damage over the middle, and that could be a sneaky way in which the offensive coordinator plans to use the rookie.
Elijah Sarratt
Elijah Sarratt was drafted out of Indiana, and his contested catch prowess and leaping grab during minicamp could lead to a sizable role on the Ravens offense.
Additional backups:
Dayton Wade
Cornelius Johnson
Xavier Guillory
Cortez Braham Jr.
Octavian Smith Jr.
