What to Watch For As Ravens Take on Giants

The Baltimore Ravens take the field on Sunday in East Rutherford, New Jersey against the New York Giants. Keep an eye on these three Ravens on Sunday in what will be an important matchup the Ravens need to win to keep their division hopes alive.

1. Tylan Wallace-In the days that followed the Ravens loss against the Eagles, it was announced that Diontae Johnson would be suspended this week due to conduct detrimental to the team. Why does this effect Tylan Wallace you ask? This in all likelihood means that Tylan Wallace will get the snaps on offense that were reserved for Johnson. Wallace has been a reliable target for Lamar Jackson when he’s taken the field ever since the team traded for Johnson. It will be interesting to see if he can further separate himself from Johnson and lead to even more playing time heading into the playoff stretch.
2. Keaton Mitchell-Mitchell was a bright spot for the team last year, making the team as an undrafted free agent, and having a solid rookie season, until it was cut short due to injury. Since he’s been healthy enough to suit up for games this season, he’s yet to crack the rotation at running back. That’s not fault of his own due to the dominance of Derrick Henry and the effectiveness of Justice Hill. However, Mitchell has been utilized mostly as a return specialist. As the Ravens take on the struggling Giants, it may be a good time to get him some carries to see how our offense can incorporate yet another weapon.
3. Lamar Jackson-Everybody knows Lamar is someone to keep an eye on for every game, however, It will be interesting to see how Lamar sparks the Ravens offense coming out of the bye week. Jackson has played some of his best football this season, but he’s also shown an increased leadership when communicating to the media and team. After the Ravens loss to the Eagles, Jackson stressed the importance of the key weapons on offense taking a breath, and not getting in their heads after making a mistake early in the game. It will be exciting to see how Lamar lifts the offense up with his play and leadership as the Ravens head into this important four game stretch.
