The Facts: Perriman is flirting with the overused, unfair 'bust' label in Baltimore. He's already being termed a bust by some, but Perriman has an idea what Ravens fans will be saying about him a year from now. "He's the real deal," the receiver told the team's official website when asked what fans would be saying about him next offseason.

Diehards Line: After missing his entire rookie season, Perriman earned just 33 catches for 499 yards and three touchdowns in 2016. Most expected more from the first-round pick out of the gate. As NFL.com notes, Perriman earned the third-most targets on the Ravens last season and started just one game. With Steve Smith retiring and Kamar Aiken leaving in free agency, Baltimore needs Perriman to morph into the No. 1 receiver. "I can't wait. I've been waiting for this moment all along," Perriman said. "I'm expecting a huge year from me, to be honest with you. ..." Fantasy owners should obviously be leery of overpaying. But there's not a lot behind Perriman and Mike Wallace on the depth chart, with Michael Campanaro, Chris Matthews, Chris Moore, Kenny Bell, Kennan Reynolds, Vince Mayle and some undrafted free agents at receiver. The team is loaded at TE, with Dennis Pitta, Benjamin Watson (returning from season-ending injury), Crockett Gillmore, Maxx Williams, Nick Boyle and Darren Waller. But Wallace and especially Perriman will need to pick up the pace. We'll be watching for signs of that in coming weeks.
