The Baltimore Ravens were in some serious need of help in their receiving corps entering the 2019 NFL Draft, so they picked up University of Oklahoma wide receiver Marquise Brown with the 25th overall pick late last month.

Brown had a very strong two-year Division I career (he began his collegiate tenure at a junior college) and is coming off of a sophomore campaign in which he hauled in 75 receptions for 1,318 yards and 10 touchdowns.

But how will his college stats translate into the pros, and will he be a viable option in Fantasy Football this coming season?

Well, first, we have to look at the rest of the Ravens' receivers, because they aren't good.

John Brown and Michael Crabtree, two of the club's top three wide outs from 2018, are now gone, as Brown signed with the Buffalo Bills via free agency and Baltimore cut the disappointing Crabtree back in February.

That leaves the Ravens with the newer Brown, Willie Snead, and…not much else.

They did pick up former Oakland Raiders wide out Seth Roberts this offseason, and second-year players Jaleel Scott and Jordan Lasley could have a shot, but Roberts is largely unproven, and neither of the latter two caught a pass in 2018.

So, it's entirely possible that Brown could end up being Baltimore's No. 1 receiver in 2019, which would certainly be a baptism by fire for the rookie.

Of course, we know that the Ravens aren't much of a passing team to begin with, as their offense will largely be predicated on Lamar Jackson, Mark Ingram, Gus Edwards, and Kenneth Dixon pounding the football in the ground game, so just because Brown could be the top wide out does not necessarily mean he will post No. 1 receiver numbers.

As a matter of fact, Brown's production during his rookie year will strongly be based on the improvement of the Jackson, as he has been working on his passing skills this offseason. While Jackson led the Ravens to a playoff appearance, he didn't throw the ball all that much during his rookie campaign, and when he did, he was mostly underwhelming.

Taking all of that into account, Brown is likely not going to be a very good option in fantasy during his first year in the league, and while he might end up being the Ravens' primary receiver, he likely won't post anything better than No. 3 (or very low-end No. 2) stats.

Think about this for a minute: the other Brown (John Brown) led all Ravens wide receivers with 715 yards, and Snead had the most catches with 62.

That made for one of the most unproductive receiving corps in the NFL in 2018, and it's hard to see that changing all that much in 2019. Remember: Baltimore's ground game will probably be even better this coming season with the addition of Ingram, so that could mean even less opportunities for the Ravens' wide outs.

The best-case scenario for Brown is probably something like 50 catches for 700 yards and five touchdowns. That's fine, but it's not what you're looking for from one of your top guys in fantasy. Realistically, Brown is probably a No. 3 receiver at best in fantasy leagues, and he might even end up being a No. 4.

Basically, don't go out of your way to draft him in Year 1.
