PositiveBreakoutJul 31, 2026Harris Fantasy Football Podcast
Surratt is a classic case of a player who doesn't separate on the perimeter in college but beats his own coverage and could move into the slot as a power slot player, similar to Amon Ross St. Brown. The speaker wrote about this on the website and did a full YouTube video breakdown. Surratt offers a skill set the Ravens' pass-catching group needs, and the speaker hopes to see reports about him moving inside and playing in the slot during training camp. In dynasty rookie drafts, the speaker prioritizes Surratt over Lane despite draft capital, viewing him as the better player.

The 2026 4th-rounder 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 was targeted multiple times in the National Championship, including on a forced throw where he was double covered on a pylon route with the safety coming over the top to help the cornerback in trail position. The pass fell incomplete, turning what should have been an easy first down into a third-and-long situation. He was also targeted on a deeper shot in a mirrored concept where Mendoza initially looked to hit him on a go route before working off that read.

Tight end featured in multiple play examples illustrating Mendoza's decision-making under pressure. On one bootleg play, Mendoza forced a throw to Sarratt who was double covered on a pylon route with safety help, resulting in an incomplete pass and third-and-long situation when Omar Cooper Jr. was wide open. On another play, Sarratt was Mendoza's initial read on an out route against Cover 3, but Mendoza correctly recognized the safety rotating down into the curl-to-flat zone made it risky and came off to find the tight end on a sit/curl route over the center instead, moving the sticks and putting the offense in scoring position.

Also featured on a deep shot read where Mendoza worked off coverage to attack the same route on the short side of the field.

Sarratt caught a third-and-short touchdown pass from Mendoza in the Rose Bowl. The source describes a play where Indiana used heavy personnel with an extra offensive lineman and max protection, setting up a one-on-one matchup for Sarratt against a corner with no safety help at the bottom of the screen. Mendoza immediately took his eyes to that matchup, and once Sarratt got even with the corner, Mendoza let the ball go with a beautiful pass featuring great trajectory—high but still catchable. The source notes: 'It's hard to find a pass to a go route into the end zone that is placed any better than that.'

Sarratt was the target on a designed roll-out early in the Big Ten Championship where Mendoza delivered a strike on the run right before taking a huge hit. On the play, Mendoza found Sarratt open on a drag route after a pair of defenders collided, hitting him with a perfect ball in front and in stride for a nine-yard gain. This highlighted Mendoza's toughness to throw under pressure and ability to maintain accuracy without a stable base.
