2021 Fantasy Outlook
Cleveland is a versatile rookie offensive lineman who figures to challenge for a starting guard spot but has experience at tackle from his time at Georgia. A hulking presence at 6-foot-6 and 354 pounds, Cleveland projects for a significant role as a rookie as his run blocking ability will be particularly useful in Baltimore's offense.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Fighting for starting spot
Cleveland is expected to compete in training camp with John Simpson and others for the Ravens' starting job at left guard, Jeff Zrebiac of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Patrick Mekari and Daniel Faalele could also get looks, but the former might be more valuable as a versatile backup all over the offensive line, while the latter is viewed as more of a developmental tackle. Cleveland has started only five games over two seasons since being drafted in the third round in 2021, but if he's able to stay healthy he's likely the favorite for the job.
