Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers is usually one of the safer options at the position since he commands the largest target share on the team by a wide margin. He's seen 94 targets this year while the second-most has 55. Against the New York Giants, Flowers should still see plenty of targets, but the Ravens could go run-heavy since that's the weakest part of the defense. They allow the sixth-fewest passing yards per game and have only given up 14 touchdowns through the air all season. While Flowers usually has a solid floor, his ceiling looks to be around the WR2 territory again.
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews has finished as a TE1 in six of his last eight games and enters one of his best months in Week 15. The Ravens take on the New York Giants who have been stout against opposing tight ends as they've given up the second-fewest fantasy points per game at 6.9 per game in half-PPR leagues. Andrews, however, tends to feast in the month of December as he averages 13.95 yards per reception, 61.1 yards per game, 9.36 yards per target, and 4.4 receptions per game. He's also scored 15 touchdowns in 27 games against NFC opponents. Andrews has a TE1 ceiling again, especially after finding his rhythm with Lamar Jackson again.
Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry has slowed down just a bit over the last few weeks before the team went into their bye week. After finding the end zone in each of the first 11 games, he hasn't been able to score in their last two. In Week 15, however, Henry goes up against the New York Giants who give up an average of 22.5 fantasy points per game to opposing backfields in half-PPR formats. They even allow the fourth most rushing yards per contest at 141.7. On top of that, Henry cut off his locs to get some cornrows, so fantasy managers can consider him an RB1 heading into this matchup.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is looking for revenge after losing just his second game against the NFC before their bye last week. He draws the New York Giants as his first matchup down the final stretch of the regular season who are in the middle of an eight-game losing streak. They allow 16.7 fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks this year. As a team, they've allowed 20 or more points in all but three games. Jackson has only scored fewer than 20 fantasy points in three games, so fantasy managers should feel confident starting him through their fantasy playoff runs.
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (knee) was removed from the injury report ahead of the Week 15 matchup against the New York Giants. Bateman suffered a knee injury in Week 13, but it sounds like it was a minor issue as he's ready to go after the bye week. He has been practicing in full this week and looks fully healthy heading into Sunday's game. He'll be a boom-or-bust flex option heading into a plus-matchup against the Giants secondary.
