Ravens report card: Grading Baltimore’s offense ahead of Week 15 game vs. Giants
The Ravens (8-5) are refreshed and looking to get their swagger back in Week 15 against the lowly Giants (2-11) at MetLife Stadium on Sunday.
Baltimore entered the bye week with one of the NFL’s top offensive units, and we’re handing out grades following a much-needed bye week.

Jackson’s 3,290 yards passing are second in the NFL, and he’s among the top performers in QBR and passer rating.
RB –A

Henry signed a two-year deal with Baltimore in the offseason, and he’s been as good as advertised. His 1,407 rushing yards are second in the NFL to Eagles star Saquon Barkley. Justice Hill has been a solid backup and does most of his damage in the passing game, where he’s accounted for 37 catches, 322 yards, and two touchdowns.
WR — B

Zay Flowers is dynamic and headed for his first 1,000-yard season. Flowers has 60 catches for 863 yards and four touchdowns. Rashod Bateman was a dark horse candidate for his first 1,000-yard season, but his play has fallen off lately. Bateman is second on the team with 35 catches for 574 yards and four touchdowns. No other Baltimore wide receiver has more than 15 catches.
TE — B

Mark Andrews got off to a slow start, but he’s heating up and leads Ravens tight ends with 43 catches, 490 yards, and a team-leading seven touchdown receptions. Isaiah Likely busted out with a 100-yard performance in Week 1, but he’s logged 33 catches for 384 yards and four touchdowns.

This unit leaves a lot to be desired, but it’s opened up holes for running back Derrick Henry and allowed Lamar Jackson to lead the league in passing yards for much of this season. Tyler Linderbaum has earned an 80.4 PFF overall grade this season, ranking third among centers.
