As the 2018 fantasy football draft season approaches, we will showcase a player to draft and a player to avoid from all 32 teams.
The Baltimore Ravens ranked 27th in total offense last season while failing to reach the playoffs for the third straight season.
Unlike previous seasons, Ravens brass actually made moves to try and improve offensively, drafting quarterback Lamar Jackson in the first round and signing a bevy of wide receivers to try and resurrect Joe Flacco's career.

This team may look a lot different, but there are still plenty of question marks regarding the Ravens' potential to move the ball.
Here is one player to draft and one to avoid from the Ravens in fantasy football this season:
Draft:
Alex Collins, RB — If your roster is devoid of Ravens it wouldn't be a bad thing, but Collins is the safest bet to produce for fantasy owners. The bruising back rushed for 973 yards and six touchdowns last season, while also racking up 187 receiving yards.
Though his starting spot was sometimes shared with Javorius Allen, Collins ultimately looked like the better back. Probably more of a flex option in fantasy, Collins could be a solid seventh-round pick with upside.
Avoid:
Michael Crabtree, WR — At this stage in his career, Crabtree, who turns 31 in September, is too slow to consistently separate. Flacco needs all the help he can get, and Crabtree is more of a small tight end right now. He might catch 70 passes this season, but for 650 yards.
It is highly unadvisable to draft any of Baltimore's pass-catchers in any round. But Crabtree will likely be selected the highest, so stay away and take a flier on someone with more upside.
