Ravens writer believes James Proche should get 'significant opportunities"

Aug 06, 2022

The Athletic's Ravens beat writer Jeff Zrebiec believes WR James Proche should see "significant opportunities" this season.

Fantasy Impact:

"If he’s healthy, there is no reason why he won’t get significant opportunities this year, as he’s emerged as a leader of a young and unproven receiving group that believes it’s ready to make an impact," said Zrebiec. The Ravens certainly need someone to step up after trading Marquise Brown to the Arizona Cardinals and Proche has had a strong camp thus far. Proche was also stuck behind Sammy Watkins and Rashod Bateman. While Bateman is still around, Watkins is now in Green Bay, opening up targets and chances for Proche, who was a nice receiver at SMU.

Proche is going very late, if at all, in Underdog drafts. But Lamar Jackson will need players to throw to and if Baltimore is going to give Proche opportunities, he's worth considering as a flyer late.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
