Week 13 Grade: WR Mark Clayton

Grade: A+

Mark Clayton, Baltimore Ravens.

Clayton has been the forgotten man on offense during the Ravens surprising run so far this season, and for good reason. Joe Flacco is playing at a remarkable level for a rookie, the running game seems to rotate stars on a weekly basis, and Derrick Mason has been quietly consistent as usual.

Clayton decided to break away from the pack on Sunday against the Bengals as he put up some impressive numbers in proving the Ravens have an explosive deep threat that teams need to be aware of during the stretch run towards the playoffs.

Clayton finished the game with 164 yards on just five catches, providing a nice target for Flacco to show off his beautiful deep ball. Clayton's 70-yard touchdown catch was the type of quick score the Ravens ball-control offense has been lacking previously.

But just catching footballs wasn't enough for Clayton, so he showed off his arm in throwing a perfect strike on a 32-yard touchdown pass to Mason.
