Gus Edwards A Suitable Option On Sunday

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards may split carries once again with J.K. Dobbins against the Colts.

Lamar Jackson Has Uphill Battle In Week 6

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson will have his hands full in Week 9 against Indianapolis, a team that ranks first in the league from a fantasy standpoint against opposing callers.

Is Josh Allen Still a Fantasy QB1?

From my apartment balcony, I can see the storm clouds on the horizon. I watch as they move closer towards me and, just before the storm reaches me, I walk inside, close the door, return to a place of safety. No matter how bad the weather gets out there, I'm inside. I'm away from it […]

The Baltimore Ravens placed linebackers Matt Judon, Patrick Queen, Malik Harrison and L.J.
