Baltimore is 7-4 and second in the AFC North ahead of Monday night’s family feud against Jim Harbaugh’s Los Angeles Chargers (8-3) on ESPN. The Ravens will enter the weekend within 1.5 games behind the Steelers after their upset loss to the Browns in snowy Cleveland on Thursday night.

A win over the Chargers would put Baltimore just one half a game back of Pittsburgh ahead of the Week 13 clash against the Eagles before a much-needed break during the bye.

With six games left in the season, we’re looking at seven players who should see a more significant role as we advance and after the bye week.

WR Diontae Johnson

Since being acquired by Baltimore from Carolina, Johnson has one catch on four targets for four yards and three games. An accomplished deep threat, Todd Monken must use the Week 14 bye to help give Johnson a higher usage rate.

TE Isaiah Likely

Likely has 28 catches for 346 yards and three touchdowns, but he’s not seen more than five targets in a game since his Week 1 explosion in Kansas City, and he’s had two games with three targets or less. The athletic Likely makes Baltimore more explosive when he’s incorporated into the offense.

RB Keaton Mitchell

Mitchell has been back in the lineup for two games, and he’s received no carries or targets in the passing game, getting the bulk of his work as a return man on special teams. One of the most explosive players in the NFL, Mitchell can help open the Ravens offense up even more.

LB Malik Harrison

Harrison logged 37 snaps in the loss to Pittsburgh, finishing with six tackles on the afternoon. If Roquan Smith misses time with a hamstring injury, Harrison should get the call.

CB Tre’Davious White

White played 24 snaps in his debut, cutting into Brandon Stephens’s snaps. The veteran could flourish with more snaps in a zone-based scheme.
