Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Breshad Perriman is still without a timetable for a return to the lineup as his sprained knee is healing a lot slower than expected, according to Jeff Zrebiec of the Baltimore Sun. It’s not currently known whether Perriman will be able to make his NFL debut in Week 1.

Fantasy Impact: With veteran Steve Smith sitting at the top of the depth chart by himself this season, the Ravens have plenty of room for a pass catcher to step up should Perriman not be ready for the start of the regular season.
Kamar Aiken and Marlon Brown would get ample opportunity to make an impact, but even when quarterback Joe Flacco has been at his best Baltimore hasn’t exactly been a hotbed for fantasy wideouts. Between the two receivers, Brown is the more proven commodity but Aiken probably has a bit more upside. Fantasy owners should monitor Perriman’s progress but focus on other receivers in the draft for now.
