Willie Snead catches five passes in Ravens’ loss.

Snead was targeted eight times, which was third on the team behind John Brown and Michael Crabtree, and he gained 54 yards on his five receptions. Snead has a solid role in the slot for Baltimore, which makes him worth FLEX consideration in deeper leagues. The Ravens face the Broncos in Week 3.

DeVante Parker (finger) was limited in practice.

This is a good start to the week for Parker, who appears to have a good shot of playing in Week 2 against the Jets. A full practice participation tomorrow or Friday would be ideal, so we’ll update you with his status ahead of his official game status being released before the weekend.

Michael Crabtree gets ten targets in Week 2.

Crabtree caught five of his ten targets against the Bengals, gaining 56 yards. The veteran receiver was a reliable target over the middle on short-to-intermediate routes for Joe Flacco. It’s also worth noting that on a play by the goal line that didn’t really happen because of a timeout, Crabtree was going to get an opportunity on a back-shoulder/fade type of route. Next week, Crabtree faces the Broncos; he didn’t catch a touchdown in any of his five games versus Denver as a member of the Raiders.

The Bengals have released Matt Barkley with an injury settlement.

Barkley was set to spend at least eight weeks on injured reserve with a knee injury, but he might feel he’ll be ready to go and wants to join another team. We’ll see what happens with Barkley moving forward.

Tyler Boyd impresses in primetime win over the Ravens.

Boyd caught six passes for 91 yards and a score, which came from 14 yards out in the second quarter. Still just 23-years-old, the Pitt product is a clear top-three receiver on an offense that’s clicking through two games. Boyd is probably a better real-life player than fantasy option, but he is worth considering in deeper leagues ahead of Week 3.

Ray-Ray McCloud (knee) did not practice today.

The rookie receiver missed Week 1 with the knee injury, and he doesn’t seem likely to play this week. We’ll see if he’s able to work his way up to at least a limited practice tomorrow or Friday.

John Brown scores in Week 2 loss.

Brown probably played the best of anyone on Baltimore’s offense in a tough matchup with the Bengals, catching four of ten targets for 92 yards and a touchdown. The score was a 21-yarder on a  go type of route to the end zone, as Brown went up and made a nice catch at the boundary with Dre Kirkpatrick in tight coverage. Brown also had a 45-yard reception on a deep ball over the middle that he caught between three defenders. Next week against Denver is a difficult matchup, but Brown deserves at least some FLEX consideration after a hot start to the season.
