Welcome back, RotoBallers! This is going to be a solid matchup between two AFC North teams. The Cincinnati Bengals (4-5) go on the road to take on the Baltimore Ravens (6-3). There are only a few injuries that we should keep an eye on; Lamar Jackson, Tee Higgins, and Isaiah Likely are all on the injury report.
We have been pretty successful so far with these showdown slates, and hopefully, that trend will continue from last year into this year. Most of us started our fantasy journeys with football, so it's always nice when it comes around. Thanks to today's advanced analytics, I'll do my best to provide you with as much in-depth analysis as possible regarding positional matchups and the like to help put some lunch money in your pocket.
I will provide you with daily fantasy football picks on FanDuel and DraftKings for the Bengals vs. Ravens NFL DFS showdown slate on November 7.

MVP/Captain Plays
Chase Brown- RB, Cincinnati Bengals - $13.5K (DK), $12.5K (FD)
Key Stats
- 2024 Stats: 479 rushing yards, four rushing touchdowns, 21 receptions, 98 receiving yards, two receiving touchdowns
Chase Brown has been upgraded to the lead back in Cincinnati. Zack Moss is on IR, and that leads to Brown getting a heavy workload. He finished last week with 27 rushing attempts and was quite active in the passing game, finishing with five receptions. The Ravens have a tough run defense, but I anticipate Brown getting a large workload again.
Lamar Jackson - QB, Baltimore Ravens - $17.1K (DK), $15.5K (FD)
Key Stats
- 2024 Stats: 2,379 passing yards, 20 passing touchdowns, two interceptions, 505 rushing yards, two rushing touchdowns
Lamar Jackson has been one of the best fantasy QBs this year. He has only scored under 20 FP once this season. He now gets an elite matchup, as the Bengals give up the sixth-most fantasy points to QBs this season and the most rushing yards. This sets up Jackson for an elite fantasy night.
Lamar Jackson is playing the best ball in the game right now…& it’s really not close.
He’s added another dimension to his passing game…layered throws! Let me break it down to you.
It’s scary to think he’s getting better. pic.twitter.com/1k5FdNZOZe

DFS Flex Plays
Ja'Marr Chase - WR, Cincinnati Bengals - $10.8K (DK), $13K (FD)
Key Stats
- 2024 Stats: 70 targets, 55 receptions, 717 receiving yards, seven touchdowns
Chase is in line for a big game, as the Ravens are giving up the second-most fantasy points to opposing WRs this season. He had a slight off week in their game against the Raiders but still finished with 11 targets. On top of that, Tee Higgins still hasn't logged any reps at practice, which should lead to Chase continuing to be the focal point in the passing game.
Mark Andrews - TE, Baltimore Ravens - $4.2K (DK), $10K (FD)
Andrews had a pretty weak start to the season, but Weeks 6-8 were great. On top of that, Isaiah Likely is now doubtful to play in tonight's contest. This should lead to more targets and playing time for Andrews. The Bengals are also a great matchup this season, as they have given up the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing TEs, allowing Andrews to show he is still a top TE in the league.
Other Flex Options: Zay Flowers, Justin Tucker, Evan McPherson
DFS Value Plays
Mike Gesicki - TE, Cincinnati Bengals - $6.6K (DK), $9.5K (FD)
Mike Gesicki is coming off one of his best fantasy performances in his career last week. He has seen 15 targets across the last two weeks, and with Erick All Jr. going down, this should lead to Gesicki getting an uptick in snaps and targets. Hopefully, Gesicki can build on top of his 30 FP performance this week.
Mike Gesicki is set up for a MONSTER game Thursday night vs. the Ravens
Not only is Tee Higgins likely out, but Baltimore is the biggest pass-funnel defense in the league
They allow the most passing yards per game and the fewest rushing yards per game this season

Justice Hill - RB, Baltimore Ravens - $5.2K (DK), $7.5K (FD)
This is more of a punt play on FD as both Diontae Johnson and Mark Andrews are cheaper over on DK. I like Hill's involvement in the passing game and he has a couple receiving TDs this season. In 2024, he has caught 26 of his 28 targets and is a very reliable dump-off option if the Bengals can bring some heat on Lamar Jackson.
Other Value Plays: Andrei Iosivas, Drew Sample
Enjoy your week, and good luck, everyone!
