Baltimore Ravens DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews has been one of the more frustrating fantasy decisions this season along with his counterpart Isaiah Likely. Against the Steelers, Andrews saw three targets despite a 61% snap share, then received five targets with a 42% snap share against the Chargers. The Ravens' tight end situation is nearly impossible to predict week-to-week. The issue is that the Philadelphia Eagles' defense is the second-toughest for opposing tight ends as they give up only 6.3 fantasy points per game in half-PPR formats. Andrews could be started in a pinch but is hard to rely on in most situations.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman has been a real boom-or-bust option this year as he's turned into the deep threat that the team hoped for since the 2021 NFL Draft. He's produced a few weeks of WR1 production, but more weeks outside of WR3 territory. In Week 13, based on normal alignment, Bateman would go up against Quinyon Mitchell who has been one of the top cornerbacks in the league during his rookie season. Bateman could be a flex play in deep leagues, but is hard to trust for high-level production.

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.
