“The Ravens’ passing game is heavily reliant on Zay Flowers, Justice Hill and Isaiah Likely at this point. Baltimore has one of the most unique situations thanks to Lamar Jackson, so they don’t have to have the same kind of wide receiver depth that other teams have.

During the 2024 NFL season so far with the Giants, Slayton has caught 18 passes for 244 yards and a touchdown. He has been a very production wideout for New York.
Giving Lamar Jackson as many weapons as possible is always a wise decision. Slayton could be the piece that takes the Ravens’ offense to the next level.
