Marquise Brown Finally Looking Up?

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown had gone through weeks of struggle heading into Week 12's meeting with the Steelers, averaging 1.5 catch for 13.8 yards per game over a four game stretch. Yikes. But with backup quarterbacks playing, Brown finally looked like the player he was drafted to be, catching four passes for 85 […]

Gus Edwards Is Trending Down

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards got a crack at the lead back role in Week 12 with J.K. Dobbins and Mark Ingram II on the COVID list. He responded with 10 yards on nine carries, though he did find the end zone once. Edwards has finished with two yards per carry or fewer in […]

J.K. Dobbins Should Lead Ravens Backfield

Baltimore Ravens rookie running back J.K. Dobbins is off the COVID list and should be active on Tuesday when the Ravens face the Dallas Cowboys. Considering Dobbins worked as the lead back the last time he was on the field and Gus Edwards had just 10 rushing yards in Dobbins's place against the Steelers Wednesday, […]

Lamar Jackson Will Be Solid QB1 If He Plays

While his status for Tuesday's game against the Dallas Cowboys remains up in the air due to his placement on the COVID-19 list, Lamar Jackson could theoretically be activated and ready to go based on the timeline of when he was placed on the list. Jackson hasn't had the same kind of numbers and success […]

Week 13 IDP Rankings, Streamers, and Fades

J.K. Dobbins Activated, Robert Griffin III To IR

The Baltimore Ravens activated rookie running back J.K. Dobbins, linebacker Pernell McPhee and centers Patrick Mekari and Matt Skura from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday while placing quarterback Robert Griffin III (hamstring) on Injured Reserve in a corresponding move.

Ravens Not Tipping Their Hand On Lamar Jackson

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh wouldn't say whether reigning NFL MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson would play on Tuesday night against the Cowboys in Week 13 after he tested positive for COVID-19 last week and sat out of the loss to the Steelers on Wednesday. He'll complete his 10-day quarantine this weekend, and he could […]

Robert Griffin III Removed In Fourth Quarter

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Robert Griffin III (leg) was replaced in the fourth quarter of Wednesday's loss to the Steelers by Trace McSorley, and Griffin's leg was wrapped on the sideline after he appeared to tweak his hamstring on a run earlier in the game. The former second overall pick by Washington was just 7-for-12 for […]

Deeper League Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 13

This past week brought more COVID-related adjustments, but no games were completely canceled and teams came to play on Sunday (even the QB-less Broncos). With many players sitting on IR or being put on the COVID list, many managers have had to scramble for replacements. This week, I have come up with a limited list […]

J.K. Dobbins, Mark Ingram II Inactive Wednesday

Baltimore Ravens running backs J.K. Dobbins and Mark Ingram II are not active for Wednesday's game against the Steelers despite being eligible to return from the COVID-19 list. Dobbins and Ingram didn't travel with the team on Tuesday night because it was the final day of their 10-day quarantine after testing positive for the virus. […]

Mark Ingram II, J.K. Dobbins Not Expected To Play Wednesday

Baltimore Ravens running backs Mark Ingram II and rookie J.K. Dobbins are eligible to come off the COVID-19 list before Wednesday's game against the Steelers, but neither of them are expected to play. Gus Edwards will get the start. It's a tough matchup against the undefeated Steelers, but Edwards has RB2 upside for fantasy managers […]

J.K. Dobbins, Mark Ingram II Not Guaranteed To Play

Baltimore Ravens running backs J.K. Dobbins and Mark Ingram II are both eligible to be activated from the Reserve/COVID-19 list prior to the Week 12 game against the Steelers on Wednesday, but it's not a given that either will play. Both players have been isolated since testing positive for the virus on Nov. 22 and […]

Ravens Activate Four From COVID-19 List

The Baltimore Ravens activated defensive tackle Brandon Williams (ankle), quarterback Trace McSorley, nickelback Tavon Young and cornerback Khalil Dorsey from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday. They could activate more players from the list before kickoff against the Steelers on Wednesday. McSorley should be the backup to Robert Griffin III on Wednesday with Lamar Jackson testing […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 13 Lightning Round

Week 13 approaches and with it, the final week of many fantasy football seasons. Week 12 was chaotic, with COVID-19 pushing BAL-PIT to Tuesday and forcing Denver to start Kendall Hinton at QB. We also saw superstar performances from Tyreek Hill, Derrick Henry, Antonio Gibson, and several others. Cross your fingers for calm skies next […]

Week 12 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!

Week 12 was a little frustrating for quarterbacks with Josh Allen, Justin Herbert and Kyler Murray all finishing outside the top-10. Deshaun Watson and Patrick Mahomes finished as the top-two quarterbacks on the week, while the main surprise was Mitch Trubisky who relied on garbage-time production to finish as QB-6. Robert Tonyan returned to relevance […]

Wednesday Night Football Matchup Analysis - Week 12

I initially wrote this preview for the Thanksgiving Thursday Night matchup between Baltimore and Pittsburgh, however, a lot has changed since then. With Lamar Jackson, James Conner, Willie Snead, and Mark Andrews all testing positive for COVID, I have updated and reworked a new preview for Wednesday night, nearly a week later than this game […]

J.K. Dobbins, Mark Ingram II On Track To Play Wednesday

Baltimore Ravens running backs J.K. Dobbins and Mark Ingram II appeared destined to miss the team's Week 12 contest versus Pittsburgh after positive COVID-19 tests last week. But with the game being pushed to Wednesday afternoon due to the COVID-19 outbreak within the Ravens organization, both Dobbins and Ingram will have met the league's conditions […]

NFL DFS Lineup Picks for Week 12 Primetime Slate - DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Football

Another week of NFL football in Week 12 and another game that was derailed by COVID-19. As a Steelers fan, I was disappointed when the Thanksgiving showdown with the division rival Ravens was postponed until Sunday and we ended up with only two games on that slate. Then the game got pushed again to Tuesday […]

Willie Snead IV Tests Positive For COVID-19

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Willie Snead IV has tested positive for COVID-19. This makes seven offensive starters for Baltimore on the COVID list and marks eight consecutive days with a positive test. Getting through Sunday with no positives would have been huge in guaranteeing that Tuesday's Ravens/Steelers game happens as scheduled. This positive introduces even […]
