NFL power rankings: Which teams will have the best passing attack this season?

13. Baltimore Ravens

Lamar Jackson is fresh off signing a brand-new contract that will keep him in Baltimore for the next five years, also making him the highest-paid player in the league. This offseason, the Ravens did a masterful job giving Jackson as much as he could possibly need for the best year of his career.

Jackson gets veteran Odell Beckham Jr. to throw to now, along with rookie Zay Flowers and another veteran, Nelson Agholor. Jackson still has two formidable tight ends in Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely, too. Baltimore will continue to run the ball, but not as much as they have in years past, and that’s a good thing.

New offensive coordinator Todd Monkey is going to focus more heavily on Jackson passing, rather than so much ground game, too. That was music to Jackson’s ears when he first found out about the new scheme; so much, so that Jackson did say he’d like to throw for 6,000 yards this coming season. Was that a joke? Was it serious? Either way, this year should be fun for the Ravens.

Last year, the Ravens finished 28th in passing, so jumping up 15 spots is an enormous jump, but it’s definitely possible. We’ve seen flashes of Jackson being a legitimate passing quarterback, but Greg Roman never allowed him to do that on a regular basis.
