Baltimore Ravens DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker has rounded into form over the last few weeks. In their Week 7 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he made all five of his extra points while knocking through a 28 and 52-yarder. He's now made both of his 50-yard attempts since missing the first two to start the season and he's improved to 12-for-15 overall on the year. The Cleveland Browns allow an average of 9.1 fantasy points per game to opposing kickers, and in AFC North matchups, they usually turn out to either be field goal affairs or shootouts that call for plenty of extra points. Either way, Tucker is a solid option to start in Week 8.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews has finally started to produce the type of fantasy performances that managers have expected. He's finished as the TE3 in each of the last two weeks in half-PPR formats and has gathered 107 yards and three touchdowns on seven receptions. This all has come despite playing right around 50% of snaps. In Week 8, he'll take on the Cleveland Browns who are one of the tougher teams against opposing tight ends. They allow 5.1 fantasy points per game to the position and there are only three other teams that allow fewer. He's a bit of a risky start, but comes in around a low-end TE1, especially if Zay Flowers (ankle) doesn't suit up.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman is currently on pace to shatter all of his career highs for stats in a single season. He averages 18.8 yards per reception, 56.3 yards per game, and 13.1 yards per target so far. His counterpart, Zay Flowers (ankle), received a questionable designation, so he could even move up in the target order for this game. On top of that, he draws a favorable matchup as the Cleveland Browns are the fifth-easiest matchup for opposing receiver groups. They allow 31.1 fantasy points per game in half-PPR formats. All of that gives Bateman some more flex appeal when it comes to Week 8.

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry will step into his second AFC North matchup against the Cleveland Browns in Week 8. He has found the end zone in every game so far this year including two receiving touchdowns which ties a career-high for most in a season. Despite the fact that the Browns are ranked as the 25th-easiest matchup against opposing backfields, Henry has the ability and talent to remain a must-start. Especially since this doesn't seem to have the makings of a shootout-type of game with the injuries that the Browns have endured.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is considered the front-runner for his third MVP so far through seven weeks. He'll lead the high-powered Ravens offense into Cleveland to take on the Browns in their second AFC North matchup of the year. Jackson currently sits at QB1 and has the fifth-most passing yards, second-most passing touchdowns, and the second-most yards per attempt amongst starting quarterbacks. While the Browns are a tougher matchup against opposing QBs, Jackson will look to take advantage of a tired defensive unit while their offense lacks firepower. In his career, Jackson has a 7-4 record against the Browns with 1,813 passing yards and 20 total touchdowns. He remains a must-start.
