Cincinnati Bengals 6-3 at Baltimore Ravens 3-5
Play ‘Em If You Got ‘Em
This is going to be a very hard match-up for the Ravens, even with Cincinnati’s best defensive player out. No must starts this week.
Gut Calls
Joe Flacco
#19 Ranked QB
We might have Flacco ranked low this week, but he had 20.50 points last week against Cleveland. Cincinnati will most likely get an early lead therefore Flacco has the opportunity to get some serious garbage points. He has the receivers to throw to. Flacco might not be the most consistent QB in the league but he has gotten over 20 points in the last three weeks.
Torrey Smith and Marlon Brown
#20 Ranked WR and #48 Ranked WR
We do not love the Ravens WRs this year. Smith has a hard time breaking away from coverage lately. Brown had a big game last week, but he only scored 2.2 fantasy points the week before. Targets are spread out between four WRs, which doesn’t help either of their cases to start them. We think Cincinnati will get ahead early and the Ravens will be forced to throw. If you are in a deep league Brown might be a good start this week. You will probable start Smith because you might not have anyone better, but if he can’t get free again this week you need to make some moves.
Bench Warmers
Ray Rice
#31 Ranked RB
Rice, what happen to you man? 3.8 points is not even good enough to be on our bench. Cincinnati gives up the 5th fewest points to RBs and after his performances the last three weeks; we do not expect him to blow up this week either. It is pretty embarrassing when Flacco out rushed both RBs.
Dallas Clark
#19 Ranked TE
Clark only had 1 target last week for 14 yards against Cleveland. Cincinnati gives up the 6th fewest fantasy points to TEs and we have a feeling Cincinnati will be even better in this stat after this week’s game.
