Rashod Bateman Hard to Trust in Week 6

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman has a chance to be the WR1 this week with Zay Flowers (shoulder) listed as questionable.

As long as the […]

Mark Andrews Carries Low-End TE2 Value Against Rams

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews has accrued two games with seven or more fantasy points, and only one of those equated to a TE1 finish. His best game was in the Week 3 loss with Lamar Jackson (hamstring) at the helm. In his first game with Cooper Rush behind center and Isaiah Likely in […]

Derrick Henry Looking More Like an RB2 for Week 6

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry continues to see his fantasy value diminish each week. In half-PPR formats, he's finished in RB1 territory only one time and has scored double-digit fantasy points twice.

Cooper Rush Not Much of a Starting Option in Week 6

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Cooper Rush is taking over for the injured Lamar Jackson (hamstring) again, and it doesn't seem to be any better of a situation.

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (knee) was reportedly looking like he was recovering "ahead of schedule," but head coach Jason Kidd states that it was "bad reporting."

Moritz Wagner Without a Firm Timetable for Return

Orlando Magic center Moritz Wagner (knee) was in the midst of his best season last year before suffering an ACL tear in late December. He was in the early running for Sixth Man of the Year and was putting up career highs in points (12.9) and rebounds (4.9) per game. During media day on Monday, […]

Ravens D/ST is Hard to Trust in Week 4

The Baltimore Ravens defense/special teams has looked the worst they ever have in recent memory. That even includes the shaky start to last season. They're ranked 31st in points allowed per game and passing yards allowed per game, while sitting at 30th in rushing yards allowed. Their best defensive lineman, Nnamdi Madubuike (neck), remains sidelined, […]

Tyler Loop Holds Starting Kicker Value Against Chiefs

Baltimore Ravens kicker Tyler Loop finished outside of K1 territory for the first time in Week 3.

Still, Loop made a 41-yarder and all three of […]

DeAndre Hopkins a Risky Flex Option in Week 4

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins is currently sitting in WR3 territory through three weeks of the season in half-PPR formats. He produced two solid weeks in the first two games after hauling in touchdowns both times. He's only averaged two targets per game, however, and his role isn't going to increase if Isaiah Likely […]

Rashod Bateman a Difficult Dart Throw in Week 4

After hauling in five receptions for 63 yards and a touchdown against the Detroit Lions, he came in as the WR15 in half-PPR formats. The issue is that he […]

Mark Andrews Trending Back Up in Week 4?

Zay Flowers Hoping for Bounce-Back Game in Week 4

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers was almost nowhere to be found in the game script against the Detroit Lions in Week 3.

Derrick Henry Heading into a Pivotal Week Vs. Chiefs?

Paul George May Miss Part of Training Camp
