Justice Hill Avoidable For Week 9

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill has been a boom-or-bust option throughout most of the season.

Hill has […]

Marlon Humphrey Expected To Play In Week 9

Baltimore Ravens defensive back Marlon Humphrey (knee) is listed as questionable but is expected to suit up for Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Diontae Johnson will likely play 10 to 15 snaps in his first game with the team on Sunday, according to CBS Sports' Tracy Wolfson.

Keaton Mitchell Unlikely To Play In Week 9

Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell (knee) is not expected to suit up ahead of the Week 9 matchup against the Denver Broncos. Mitchell is recovering from an ACL injury that he suffered last season. He has yet to play this season, but was able to practice this week. He's a little over a week […]

Ravens Defense Not A Trustworthy Option In Week 9

The Baltimore Ravens defense/special teams has been nowhere close to the level of play they've shown in the past. They have one of the worst units against the pass this season and sit as the 23rd-ranked fantasy defense of the year. They're averaging 5.0 fantasy points per game and lost to the Cleveland Browns in […]

Justin Tucker Still A Solid Kicking Option In Week 9

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker suffered a down week in Week 8 against the Cleveland Browns. While he made all three of his extra-point attempts, he only made one of two field goal attempts throughout the game. His lone make came from 49 yards, but he still finished as a low-end K2. The Denver Broncos, […]

Diontae Johnson A Risky Start In Week 9

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Diontae Johnson just joined the team earlier in the week and was a full participant at practice each day. All signs are pointing to the new Raven suiting up on Sunday against the Denver Broncos, but his workload is a big question mark. Less than a week of practice isn't enough […]

Mark Andrews A Borderline TE1 Against Broncos

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews has turned around his fantasy season in a big way over the last few weeks.

The Ravens' offense gets another tough test, however, as they play against the Denver Broncos in Week […]

Zay Flowers Comes Into Week 9 With WR2 Potential

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers has been the No. 1 target in most games this season but now has some more competition for targets. Diontae Johnson enters the fold and will undoubtedly command some more targets than Nelson Agholor did.

Derrick Henry Remains A Must-Start In Week 9
