QB: Joe Flacco – Unless he is not healthy enough to suit up for the regular season opener, this is a no brainer.
RB: Justin Forsett – He will get the first crack at the starting job, but how long will he keep the job with the amount of young talent behind him?
FB: Kyle Juszczyk
WR 1: Steve Smith – Another player that his health will determine whether he starts the season or not, but he is still the best on the roster.
WR 2: Kamar Aiken – This is the top position battle on the Ravens offense. Some might say that Mike Wallace or Breshad Perriman should be the starter, but Aiken knows the offense and did play well once Smith went down last season. This could change as the year progresses, but the job is his at least for the first week.
TE: Ben Watson – Watson has been the forgotten move this offseason with Wallace and Weddle also coming in, but he might end up being more important to the offense than Wallace.
LT: Eugene Monroe – Despite the rumors of potentially being a post-draft cut, he’s still on the roster and will start.
LG: Ronnie StanleyThe first-round pick will take over for Kelechi Osemele at left guard in his rookie season.
C: Jeremy Zuttah
RG: Marshal Yanda – He is the best at what he does.
RT: Ricky Wagner – Not the most dominant, but an underrated tackle.
