Baltimore Ravens DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins will take on the Cleveland Browns in Week 15. Hopkins put forward a decent fantasy performance last week against the Chargers, catching four passes for 32 yards and a touchdown. Hopkins will look to continue being a reliable option for Patrick Mahomes when the Chiefs take on the Browns in Cleveland. The Browns rank 24th in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers this season, making them a favorable matchup for the veteran receiver. The 32-year-old is ranked WR38 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a WR3/flex option this week. Hopkins has scored four of his five touchdowns with the Kansas City Chiefs, meaning he has a legitimate chance to score a touchdown every week. Fantasy managers will hope to see him in the endzone this weekend.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush is coming off of a shaky performance against Cincinnati. The career backup is in low QB2 range this week against a Carolina Panthers' defense that has slowly improved since an atrocious start to the season. Even so, it is still one of the league's worst defensive units. With that being said, Rush showed last week that he cannot be trusted even in the softest of matchups. With a further beaten up offensive line, Rush should not be started this week.

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker is in the midst of the worst season in his 13-year career. He's only made 70.4% of his 27 field goal attempts this year while missing two extra points on top of it. The New York Giants are right around the middle of the pack against opposing kickers as they give up an average of 8.2 fantasy points per contest. Tucker may have used the bye week in a big way for his confidence, but he's posted eight weeks outside of K1 territory this season. His ceiling is still one of the best kickers in the league, but fantasy managers will want to temper expectations with how this season has gone.

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill has registered three fantasy-relevant weeks so far this season but does draw a solid matchup against the New York Giants in Week 15. They're one of the weakest teams against the run, giving up 141.7 yards per game and 14 total rushing touchdowns. Derrick Henry will likely get plenty of carries in this game, so unless there's some extra garbage time, Hill's ceiling will be quite limited. As of right now, Hill looks like a deeper-league flex play at best.

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.
