Baltimore Ravens

Kamar Aiken (Wide Receiver): The entire Ravens passing attack suffered a major blow when quarterback Joe Flacco went down with a torn ACL. Now Matt Schaub will look to make his first start of the year against a Browns team that has allowed the 7th most fantasy points to wide receivers. It is unknown how well Schaub will perform but with nothing to play for and no stars remaining the Ravens may take a knee on the rest of this season and settle for a high pick in the draft. Either way Aiken is barley a low WR3 option at this point.

Javorius "Buck" Allen(Running Back): Allen is the guy you should be most excited about in this offense as he is the only viable fantasy starter. Allen came in for the injured Forsett after he broke his arm making him a full time starter and he did not disappoint. Allen has a great matchup against a defense that has allowed the 6th most fantasy points to running backs. With the passing game so limited the Brown's may stack the box against Allen. He is a mid-level RB 2 this week.

 

Cleveland Browns

Duke Johnson Jr (Running Back): The Ravens have given up the 6th fewest points to running backs however they have no cornerbacks and that is where Johnson has made his money. Johnson has been most effectively used in the passing game all year. DJ could see himself with some solid production through the air.

Gary Barnidge (Tight End): The Ravens give up the 4th fewest points to tight ends so Barnidge will be tested heavily. The Manziel to Barnidge chemistry is not at 100 percent yet but it is seemingly getting close. This is an overall bad matchup to start Barnidge.

Travis Benjamin (Wide Receiver): The Ravens give up the 3rd most fantasy points to wide receivers and with Benjamin getting double digit targets with Manziel it is possible that he ends up being the most productive wide receiver in this contest.
