Gillmore, Perriman ruled out for Week 4

Ravens TE Crockett Gillmore (calf) and WR Breshad Perriman (knee) have been ruled out for Thursday night's game against the Steelers.  So a thin pass-catching corps gets even thinner.  Look for WR Steve Smith to again dominate targets.  Rookie TE Maxx Williams could be 2nd in line for looks.

Ravens TE Crockett Gillmore is out for the season following knee surgery. Gillmore underwent a procedure to repair his MCL. Baltimore is down to Ben Watson, Maxx Williams, Nick Boyle and Larry Donnell at TE. It’s a situation to avoid in fantasy leagues.

Ravens TE Crockett Gillmore is set to undergo surgery on his meniscus on Monday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. As we saw with RB Kenneth Dixon, Gillmore's timetable for return will depend on whether the meniscus is trimmed or fully repaired. He could be out anywhere from 4 weeks to the entire season. We'll update his status when we know more, but Gillmore is off the redraft radar right now.

Ravens TE Crockett Gillmore has resumed running routes and taking part in individual drills at OTAs.  He's ahead of schedule in his rehab from surgery to repair a torn labrum in his shoulder.  “If it was up to me, I’d already be doing everything,” Gillmore said. “I should be back for training camp for sure. We’re going to try to push it and see if I can go for minicamp.”  Gillmore is part of a deep Baltimore TE corps that also includes Ben Watson and Maxx Williams.  They'll likely cannibalize each other's production, leaving all 3 as unreliable fantasy options.

The Ravens have placed TE Crockett Gillmore (back) on IR, ending a decent but injury-riddled campaign for him. He'll likely compete with an expanded role for 2015 rookie Maxx Williams in next year's offense, which could see plenty of offseason change. WR Breshad Perriman should return from the knee trouble that cost him his rookie year, and WR Steve Smith said he plans to retire. We'll be interested to see how things look in Baltimore heading into 2016.

Ravens HC John Harbaugh ruled TE Crockett Gillmore (back) out for Week 15 on Wednesday.  Harbaugh added that Gillmore "probably is done for the year."  That'll leave TE duties to Maxx Williams and Nick Boyle.  Neither is a reliable fantasy option.
