Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers may not have found the end zone in Week 12, but his priority in the offense allowed him to be the leader in targets and yards. Flowers averages 7.3 targets per game this season, equating to a 24.9% target share and 65.8 yards per contest. Based on alignment, Flowers' matchup would have been Darius Slay (concussion), but if the Eagles don't shift Quinyon Mitchell over, it would be Isaiah Rodgers. That means Flowers would likely see a heavy dose of targets, leaving his floor at a WR2 this week.
Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry was finally overtaken as the league's top runner last week when Saquon Barkley put together a historic performance. Henry now sits at the RB2 in half-PPR formats and is 37 yards behind Barkley. Both defenses have been very good against the run, but the Philadelphia Eagles have given up the fourth-fewest fantasy points to opposing backfields. The Ravens have been a force when Henry gets 20+ carries, but the game script could be different if the Eagles' offense gets an early lead. The King still comes in as an RB1 either way.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has been able to produce some big fantasy outputs against almost every defense he's gone up against. In fact, he's played the 32nd, 31st, and 27th-ranked defenses in terms of fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks with the Steelers allowing the fewest. The Philadelphia Eagles are ranked 30th while they give up just 14.3 fantasy points per game. Jackson does have history on his side though as he's 23-3 against the NFC dating back to his rookie year, and is 6-1 against the NFC East. The two-time MVP is still a must-start, especially at home, but it could be an uphill battle.
Baltimore Ravens tight end Charlie Kolar (forearm) is expected to miss at least four weeks after breaking his arm on Monday night. Kolar has been an important depth piece in a talented Ravens tight end room. He has recorded nine receptions for 131 yards and a touchdown for the Ravens this season while playing behind Isaiah Likely and Mark Andrews. This injury puts more pressure on Likely and Andrews as the team's top two tight ends. The Ravens signed tight end Scotty Washington to their practice squad in a depth move. Kolar's injury does not have a lot of fantasy implications. However, he is one less target for Likely and Andrews to compete within this offense.
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers wasn't able to find the end zone against the Chargers on Monday night but led the team in receiving yards. He notched 62 yards on five receptions and eight targets which was tied for most catches and number one in targets. In half-PPR formats, this put him right outside of WR2 territory, making it a disappointing week in fantasy terms. His next chance to bounce back will be against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 13.
