Ravens' Crockett Gillmore: Replaces Watson with starters

Gillmore caught his lone target for a two-yard gain in Saturday's preseason game against the Lions.

Analysis:

Though he hasn't made much noise this preseason, Gillmore now stands a chance to reclaim his starting job from last year, after Ben Watson suffered a torn Achilles on the first snap of Saturday's game. Previously expected to start, Watson will instead miss the entire 2016 season, leaving the tight end position in the hands of Gillmore, Maxx Williams (undisclosed) and Dennis Pitta (finger). Gillmore is the best blocker of that trio, as well as the only one that actually played in Saturday's game. However, Pitta was listed second on the preseason depth chart, with Gillmore third and Williams fourth. If all three are healthy, they'll likely split snaps and targets in a manner that precludes consistent fantasy contributions.
