Every Cleveland Browns player with rising and falling stocks after the Baltimore Ravens win
By Chad Porto
Rising Offensive Players
Jack Conklin
Jack Conklin has taken a while to look like his Pro Bowl self since his injury in 2021 but the Ravens game saw him have his best all-around game of the year. While he’s arguably been the team’s best pass-blocker, his run-blocking has started to come back as well. The Browns were very successful in 2020 and 2021 running off his hips, but he hasn’t been the same guy this year and it’s reflected in Nick Chubb’s stats. Hopefully, this is a sign that he’s starting to feel like his former self.
Wyatt Teller
As good as Wyatt Teller is at run blocking, he’s almost equally as bad at pass blocking. After the Carolina game, Teller has only ever been average or bad. Teller didn’t look fantastic against the Ravens on Sunday but considering how good the Ravens are defensively and seeing how well Teller did to keep Deshaun Watson’s back clean, I would say he earned a bump in his standing this week. Most of Watson’s sacks came from holding the ball too long and trying to play hero ball. That’s not on the offensive line.
Donovan Peoples-Jones
We’re still putting Amari Cooper’s face on milk cartons to see if anyone can find him for us, as we all know Watson hasn’t found him during the last three games. Watson has found Donovan Peoples-Jones, however, and while I’m still not sold on him as a starter on a better team, Peoples-Jones is doing good work catching what’s thrown to him. He’s not going to take over a game like some on social media think is about to happen but he’s an excellent compliment to the offense.
