Ravens contract-year TE Ed Dickson is expected to take on a "larger receiving role" with Dennis Pitta lost for the season. Dickson came out of Oregon known as an athlete, but he's been a bit of a plodder in the pros and played mostly an in-line position, running far fewer pass routes than his injured teammate. With Visanthe Shiancoe on the roster, Dickson could split out into the slot more this year. We still wouldn't anticipate more than unsteady high-end to mid-range TE2 value from 6-foot-4, 255-pound Dickson.
