The Ravens are off to a fast start at 5-1 but their passing has left a lot to be desired and are ranked 31st in the NFL for the same. Marquise Brown is the only Baltimore wide receiver with more than 11 catches this season and Dez Bryant adds a much need dynamic to their play. Incidentally, the 31-year-old had a workout with the Ravens two months earlier but left without signing a deal. 

The Ravens had reportedly offered Bryant a multi-year deal before the 2018 season, but he turned it down and instead signed a one-year contract with the New Orleans Saints in November. The 31-year-old is attempting to become the second Pro Bowl wide receiver to miss two full seasons and then return to the NFL since the 1970 merger, after Josh Gordon.
