2018 NFL Power Rankings: Brandin Cooks, Ndamukong Suh puts Rams on top

17. Baltimore Ravens
Speaking of Crabtree, the receiver may have been caught off guard over his release from the Raiders so the team could make room for Nelson, but joining a team that fell just short once again of earning a trip to the playoffs in the Baltimore Ravens should work out well for the veteran wideout. Over the years, the Ravens have struggled to build a solid offense around Joe Flacco since a quarterback like him can only do so much on his own without the proper support from his teammates, but Crabtree should be able to help.
Not to mention, Baltimore also hopes to end up with one of the biggest steals from free agency at receiver in speedster John Brown, so Flacco’s job should be much easier to handle in 2018 unlike last season. With the Ravens’ defense always looking like one of the best in the league, whether this team can finally earn a trip to the postseason for the first time in four years will come down to the play on the offensive side of the football.
At least with new additions in Crabtree and Brown, Baltimore’s offense will have a much better chance of that happening. If not, well let’s just say John Harbaugh’s job could be on the line.
