Baltimore @ Cincinnati
Team Totals: Ravens 26.5, Bengals 25
Ignore the last time these two teams played on Thanksgiving: Baltimore committed five turnovers, including four inside the 20s, either robbing themselves of easy points or gifting the Bengals a short field. Lamar Jackson also leveraged 10 days of rest this past week for his most rushing yards (43) and yards per carry (6.1) post-injury, suggesting he’s safe for an elite finish after Josh Allen pasted Cincy for 13.8 points via his legs. … Derrick Henry’s 11 touches (for 104 yards and one score) in this first matchup need context, handling seven before the Ravens trailed 19-7; he received 20 touches in seven performances around that one (including 26 in Week 14). Even if Henry were to post a week-winning score — only Christian McCaffrey, Jahmyr Gibbs, James Cook, and Saquon Barkley are projected for more points — Keaton Mitchell remains viable in deeper leagues for averaging 10.7 yards per touch sans Justice Hill (neck, I.R.).
