Baltimore Ravens
Kamar Aiken, Ravens WRs/Steve Smith SR (Wide Receiver): Marlon Brown, Kamar Aiken, and Michael Campanaro will split targets as they look to replace the injured Breshad Perriman. Aiken will get the start opposite Smith and will need to make plays to stay in the game. Aiken could be a tremendous sleeper with Smith getting all of the top coverage from the Broncos.
Crockett Gillmore (Tight End): Gillmore will look to make plays down the middle of the field. As the Ravens starting tight end he will get some looks however he is nothing more than a TE2 for this matchup.
Justin Forsett (Running Back): Forsett will need to run well against a strong Broncos defensive line and has a worrisome matchup this week. If the Ravens offensive line cannot create holes and give Forsett space he will be routinely stuffed at the line. If you have Forsett you have to start him but temper your expectations.
Denver Broncos
Demaryius Thomas (Wide Receiver): Thomas is the best wide receiver on the Broncos and has a decent matchup against the Ravens secondary. I would be surprised to see him not put up double digit fantasy points.
Emmanuel Sanders (Wide Receiver): Sanders will get all of the secondary targets in the offense and will frequently line up in the slot. If the Broncos have trouble running the ball then Sanders could see an uptick in targets. Sanders is a solid WR2 especially in PPR since he will be returning kicks.
CJ Anderson (Running Back): Anderson will be the main back in this offense and should see a lot of carries. Anderson does have a bad matchup against a tough Baltimore defensive line but you have to start him.
Owen Daniels/Virgil Green (Tight End): The tight ends for the Broncos will be a source of fantasy speculation all season long. Owen Daniels has been injury prone as he reaches the end of his career, Green however is only 27 and may be the more athletic option for Manning and the Broncos offense. If Green could make an impact his fantasy value could sky rocket.
