Marquise Brown Still Absent

Baltimore Ravens rookie wide receiver Marquise Brown (ankle) remains sidelined at practice for the second straight day Thursday. Brown missed practice all of last week and the Week 6 game, and he's looking unlikely to play again this weekend against the Seahawks. None of Willie Snead, rookie Miles Boykin or Seth Roberts stepped up in […]

Ravens Defense Unlikely To Have Jimmy Smith In Week 7

Baltimore Ravens cornerback Jimmy Smith (knee) said he'll warm up and see how he feels on Sunday, but he's also planning to take it slow with the team's bye coming in Week 8. Smith is unlikely to play in Week 7 against the Seahawks. The 31-year-old has yet to play this year and his absence […]

Marquise Brown Not Practicing Wednesday

Baltimore Ravens rookie wide receiver Marquise Brown (ankle) remains out of practice on Wednesday. Brown missed practice all of last week and sat out of Week 6. He's shaping up to be a question mark again in Week 7 against the Seahawks. With Brown out in Week 6, Willie Snead, rookie Miles Boykin and Seth […]

Running Back Metrics That Matter - NFL NextGen Stats

It's been a month--a full month!--since the last time we took a look at our beloved running backs. I don't think there is a hotter topic of discussion between pro- and anti-analytics than rushing. The guys fighting for stat-supremacy are all about using the passing game as much as possible while ditching the run; the […]

Titanic Disappointment - Will Ryan Tannehill Help Tennessee?

In the midst of being shutout by the Denver Broncos on Sunday, Tennesse Titans coach Mike Vrabel made a move that many casual NFL fans had been expecting for the past few weeks: he decided to give Ryan Tannehill a shot at quarterback instead of Marcus Mariota. While Tannehill wasn't noticeably better on Sunday, throwing […]

Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

All of a sudden, the Chargers look like one of the worst teams in football and the Jets look like a playoff contender. Maybe things won't shake out that way in the end but it goes to show how quickly things change in the "Not For Long" NFL. For that reason, we advise looking at […]

Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 7

Some of you have been rewarded for your meticulous roster planning by receiving excellent production from your running backs. Unfortunately, many of you have been equally prepared when making roster decisions, but have been undermined by injuries, inconsistent usage, or underwhelming performances. If that applies to you, then those unwanted outcomes have forced you to […]

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 7

It was another big week at the quarterback position, as five quarterbacks topped 30 points and 12 scored more than 20 heading into Sunday Night Football. Most of the big performers were players we expect, such as Matt Ryan and Deshaun Watson, but we also got some surprising starts from quarterbacks who are widely available. […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 7 Lightning Round

The Jets are back! OK, maybe not back because they were never here but at least there's some actual hope and fantasy value to be had from a previously winless team. The tight end landscape has changed drastically again, as Hunter Henry returns right at 60% ownership, while breakout second-year Seahawk Will Dissly's season appears […]

Hayden Hurst Catches One Pass On Sunday

Baltimore Ravens tight end Hayden Hurst had just one catch for four yards during the win over the Bengals on Sunday. Even with Marquise Brown (ankle) out of the lineup, Hurst continued to be a non-factor in the team's offensive attack. He likely won't have a consistent role moving ahead, especially with Mark Andrews in […]

Justice Hill Goes For 31 Yards Against Cincinnati

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill had 31 yards on five carries in the win over Cincinnati on Sunday. With Lamar Jackson going crazy on the Bengals Defense by rushing for 152 yards and a touchdown on 19 attempts, Hill continued to play second fiddle to Gus Edwards, who had just three more yards than […]

Gus Edwards Continues To Provide Support

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards finished with 34 yards on six carries during the win over the Bengals on Sunday. Averaging just over seven touches per game, this type of performance has been the norm for the 24-year-old this season. He should continue to outpace Justice Hill but don't expect much of anything from […]

Miles Boykin Gets Nothing Done In Week 6

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Miles Boykin had two catches (three targets) for 28 yards against the Bengals in Week 6. Though Marquise Brown (ankle) wasn't in the lineup, quarterback Lamar Jackson virtually monopolized the team's offensive attack by rushing for 152 yards on 19 carries. Don't expect much from Boykin moving forward in all formats, […]

Seth Roberts Targeted Twice Against Bengals

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Seth Roberts pulled in both of his targets against the Bengals on Sunday, finishing with just 23 yards in a game that was highlighted by the play of quarterback Lamar Jackson, who rushed for 152 yards on 19 carries. While Marquise Brown (ankle) wasn't in the lineup, Roberts wasn't able to […]

Willie Snead Targeted Five Times Against Cincy

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Willie Snead had three catches for 18 yards on Sunday. With Lamar Jackson and company running all over the Bengals Defense, Snead was unable to get involved despite the absence of Marquise Brown (ankle), who was ruled out for the week. The 26-year-old continues to be included as the No. 3 […]

Mark Andrews Leads Ravens In Receiving Again

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews caught six balls for 99 yards and had a fumble in Sunday's Week 6 win against the Cincinnati Bengals. Andrews hadn't had over 45 receiving yards in a game since his booming Week 1 performance against the Dolphins. Despite his dip in yards in the last few weeks, Andrews […]

Mark Ingram Gets In The End Zone

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram rushed for 52 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries in Sunday's Week 6 win against Cincinnati. Fantasy owners are thankful Ingram was able to score early, otherwise his performance would've been subpar in starting lineups. Ingram got more touches than both running backs Gus Edwards and Justice Hill […]

Lamar Jackson Razzle-Dazzles Against The Bengals

Quarterback Lamar Jackson carried the ball 19 times for a career-high 152 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's Week 6 win against Cincinnati. Jackson also threw for 236 yards, making him the first quarterback in the Super Bowl era to run for 150 yards and throw for 200 in a single game. Jackson didn't have […]

Marquise Brown Officially Inactive, Mark Andrews Will Play In Week 6

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown (ankle) is inactive against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 6 while tight end Mark Andrews (shoulder) will play. Andrews is a TE1 with upside, as quarterback Lamar Jackson will lean on him in the passing game. Ravens slot receiver Willie Snead could be a sneaky sleeper without Brown in […]

Week 6 Busts? Players To Consider Avoiding

Week 6 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2019 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

If this season has proved anything, it's that DSTs can not be dismissed. This past week the Eagles threw up 35+ points in most formats, and you can bet that was the difference in plenty of matchups. The Patriots have proven that the right defense with the right schedule can be as valuable as a […]

Mark Andrews Expected To See The Field In Week 6

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (shoulder) will likely suit up against Cincinnati in Week 6. After dealing with a foot ailment, his presence on the injury report has been the norm over the last few weeks. With Marquise Brown (ankle) unlikely to play on Sunday, the door is open for Andrews to get plenty […]

Marquise Brown Expected To Sit In Week 6

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown (ankle) isn't expected to play against Cincinnati in Week 6. Hollywood hasn't practiced all week, and with his absence, the door will be open for extra looks for tight end Mark Andrews and wide receiver Willie Snead against a horrendous Bengals Defense.
