Mark Andrews Hopes To Get It Together In Week 3

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews will look to get back on track in Week 3 against the Chiefs. After a strong start to the 2020 campaign, the 25-year-old caught only one pass against the Houston Texans on Sunday. While that performance certainly left a bad taste in the mouths of fantasy managers, Andrews should […]

Marquise Brown A Solid Option In Week 3

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown will face his most formidable task of the season against the Chiefs in Week 3.

While fantasy managers could be pleasantly surprised with a […]

Gus Edwards A Dart Throw In Week 3

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards shouldn't be counted on for fantasy production in Week 3 against Kansas City. While the 25-year-old racked up 10 carries against the Texans, one more than Mark Ingram II, the presence of Ingram, quarterback Lamar Jackson, and rookie J.K. Dobbins makes him a risky option on Monday night. For […]

Mark Ingram II A Risky Option In Week 3

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram II is a risky fantasy option in Week 3 against the Chiefs. The veteran was able to find the end zone in Week 2 against the Texans. However, he received one less carry than Gus Edwards, who ran for 73 yards on 10 attempts, and seven fewer than quarterback […]
