Elijah Sarratt

2026 4th-rounder Elijah Sarratt may have been overshadowed by Baltimore's earlier selection of Ja'Kobi Lane, but the former Indiana receiver offers an intriguing pathway to Year 1 relevance. Sarratt enters a crowded, run-heavy offense, yet his strong production profile, early breakout age, and red-zone skill set could help him carve out a role quickly if Mark Andrews continues declining. The Ravens already have their No.1 WR in Zay Flowers, so expectations should remain tempered, but Sarratt's ability to win contested catches and earn targets gives him sleeper appeal. Among Baltimore's rookie receivers, he might be the better value bet relative to cost.

Sarratt has average burst and long speed but a quick first step off the line. It allows him to earn quick separation off the line, but corners can recover during the route with Sarratt lacking the raw speed to maintain his early cushion. Physical corners and ones with speed can hang with him, which is a worry about his separation skills translating to the NFL. Sarratt profiles best as a supporting perimeter possession receiver, or he could move inside as a power slot. He lacks the raw speed to separate consistently with vertical routes, but he has the catch point strength and body control to win at the catch point and with back shoulder throws. His downfield ball tracking is solid. Sarratt finished college with a 60% contested catch rate. His lateral agility at the line and the top of his stems, combined with his size, allows him to win on in-breaking routes. He lacks the short-area burst to be utilized on double moves. Sarratt's athleticism could cap his ceiling and usage as a player. He's not a dynamic YAC/RAC threat. He has the upper-body strength to break some tackles, but lacks the immediate burst and speed to offer a ton after the catch. He has 13 missed tackles across his last two collegiate seasons. In his two seasons with Indiana, he had only 4.7 and 5.7 yards after the catch per reception. Dynasty Outlook: The Ravens selected Sarratt in the fourth round of the NFL Draft. Sarratt will have to beat out Rashod Bateman (signed through 2029) and fellow rookie Jakobi Lane to crack the starting lineup in a low-volume passing offense. I like Sarratt a lot, but I'm not a huge fan of his landing spot. Passing volume and target competition could make it quite difficult for him to pop in year one. Sarratt is a decent selection at the end of the second round or beginning of the third round in your rookie drafts as a bet on talent.
