Mark Clayton Injury Impact
Mark Clayton is ranked as our 25th best receiver going into the season. That's higher than his average draft position, and puts him at the top of our list of possible third receiver in fantasy leagues.
Clayton got lucky last season with a few tipped passes, but he's one of the best emerging deep threats in football. He's also the top wideout on his team. So does the news regarding his ankle injury change our draft board?
The short answer is no. Clayton has struggled with minor injuries as a pro and there are more durable options out there. That's built into his projections already; I see Clayton as a top-20 player if he can stay 100%.
Clayton and the Ravens say he'll be ready for Week 1. The Ravens take care of their veterans in camp more than any team around. I would keep a close eye on when Clayton returns to practice, but he's still a great mid-round pick.
