In the great American classic movie Mean Girls, there are three girls who are known as "plastics." The plastics are considered to be the most beautiful, rich and desirable girls at their high school. While much of the attention and affection is given (rightly) to the queen bee of the group, Regina (played masterfully by Rachel McAdams), what most of the guys in that school failed to realize is that her friends Karen and Gretchen were amazing catches as well! You know, if you're into the mean, dumb, shallow-but-hot schtick.

Yes, Regina was the ultimate catch in that school, but most people were so infatuated with what they couldn't have that they failed to realize her two friends were just as available and likely more attainable than Ms. Plastic herself!

We seem to have a Mean Girls-like situation brewing in Baltimore. People are so distracted by the prettier and more popular offenses and receivers in the NFL that they seem to have forgotten that opportunity abounds for this new-look Ravens offense. snaps could decrease in 2015.

Enter Breshad

Given Smith's ADP, you might expect that another Ravens receiver was getting all the love, but you'd be wrong! First-round draft pick Breshad Perriman is being drafted around the ninth round as the 43rd receiver off the board.

He steps in to replace Torrey Smith, who in 2014 produced a very good Reception NEP per target of 0.88. That mark ranked eighth among the 62 receivers who saw at least 75 targets in 2014. However, the downfield threat's catch rate continues to hover around 50 percent, and it was a career-best 53.26 percent last season. That ranked 53rd among the 75-plus target receivers last year.

His career catch rate is just 49.47 percent, which is subpar despite his production when he does catch the ball. This was likely one of the reasons Baltimore was okay to see the young receiver walk in free agency, something that came as a surprise to many.

His replacement is Breshad Perriman, and I apologize for the love affair that is about to follow. Much of that love is also expressed in this great post draft report on the former Central Florida receiver. Here are some of the athletic comparables for Perriman.

Those are some intriguing athletes with immense upside, but the comparison that seems the most relevant in terms of situation is Julio Jones, which I believe is the ceiling for Perriman. Here's why.

As a rookie, Jones walked into an offense that had an established veteran in Roddy White and a 4,000-yard passer in Matt Ryan. He finished as the 17th-ranked receiver by season's end after seeing 96 targets. Those targets were third on his team, with White receiving 180 and Tony Gonzalez getting 116.

The Ravens have a similar offense, minus the Hall of Fame tight end unless Dennis Pitta has an unexpected resurgence after hip injuries have devastated his career. Or I guess perhaps rookie Maxx Williams could break the mold and be the rare player to produce in his first season at that position. But more likely, the talented Perriman steps into Torrey Smith's vacated targets (92 last year) with an upgrade at offensive coordinator and an additional 79 targets still up for grabs.

Let's compare the two offenses.

The 2014 Ravens were actually the more efficient offense on a schedule-adjusted per-play basis, and the expectation is that Trestman will add more to this passing game. If the rookie receiver is as talented as the Ravens think he is, the situation is tailor-made for him to emerge as a top-20 fantasy receiver. And remember, he is being drafted as the 43rd receiver off the board!

Of course he could bust, but nothing in the data really suggests that we should bank on that outcome. He's big, strong and explosive, and there is a difference between having bad hands (Darrius Heyward-Bey) and concentration drops (Terrell Owens). Perriman doesn't fight the ball like the former, even if he drops an occasional pass. This is an exceptionally talented player who was stuck in a terrible college offense with a quarterback who couldn't hit Perriman in stride on his best day.

Making Sense of Things

While Flacco has never supported two top-25 receivers in a single season, he also hasn't had the talent around him that he has this season. Throwing to Jacoby Jones and Marlon Brown isn't a fair indication of what Flacco is capable of.

In fairness, Flacco's Passing NEP per drop back and Pass Success Rate (the percentage of drop backs that led to positive NEP gains for Baltimore) declined in each of the four seasons 2009 to 2013 before improving to career bests in 2014, but if the 2014 Flacco is here to stay, then the opportunity for Perriman is immense. That Perriman isn't in the same conversation as rookies Kevin White or Nelson Agholor is seemingly overlooking the fact that he has a better quarterback and arguably just as good an opportunity to produce.

As for me, I'm willing and happy to grab either as bench players on my team. Their productivity is going surprise many, but I won't be caught off guard.
