Marquise Brown, WR, Baltimore Ravens

4 receptions, 147 yards, 2 touchdowns

Brown showed off why he has the nickname “Hollywood” against Miami this past week, torching them for 147 yards on 4 catches and 2 long touchdowns.

He showcased some of the same traits his cousin Antonio Brown shows, including the mix of elite over the top speed, quickness, and agility. This athleticism allowed Brown to have both a long touchdown over the top of the defense, as well as a catch and run on a slant.

His route running was still raw, but he will be able to grow his route tree throughout the course of the season. This explosive weapon in the passing game is what Baltimore needed after a playoff loss to the Chargers.

The Ravens will still be one of the run heaviest teams in football, but have a serious threat on play-action and short routes.
