Tyre Phillips G 15

James Proche WR 3

Justice Hill RB 2

Ben Powers G 1

Observations: Edwards actually played fewer snaps than the previous week in the absence of Mark Ingram II, while Dobbins almost doubled his previous career high. But Edwards carried 16 times on his 26 plays. Ricard played just 21% of offensive snaps on a day when the Ravens ran the ball 47 times. The rotation at right guard did not change over the bye week, with Mekari serving as the first option to fill in for an injured Phillips. Brown complained about a lack of targets after the game, but he certainly played a lot, eclipsing his previous career-high snap count by 15. Duvernay surpassed Boykin’s workload, continuing a trend in their respective fortunes. Hill played his first offensive snaps of the season.

Observations: Queen truly became an every-down linebacker for the first time in his career. Ngakoue moved right to the front of the edge rotation in his Ravens debut. It was surprising to see Campbell play just 52.8% of defensive snaps, his second lowest of the season. Ferguson played well, but his workload stayed in line with previous weeks after Judon was ejected for touching an official. Fort played a season-low snap count, while Board and Harrison ticked up slightly.
