Cincinnati @ Baltimore
Team Totals: Bengals 25, Ravens 23.5
I delayed writing up this game for as long as possible because Lamar Jackson’s availability impacts every player involved. Jackson is questionable with a high ankle sprain after practicing in limited fashion each day this week. … The Bengals come off their Week 6 bye as one of the NFL’s healthiest teams. Joe Burrow is fantasy’s QB6 in points per game, although Sunday’s trip to Baltimore presents a subpar quarterback matchup, and Burrow’s box-score outlook is heavily influenced by Jackson’s presence, which would skyrocket this game’s overall scoring potential. My stance is Burrow will be a shoo-in QB1 start if Lamar plays and a lower-end QB1 option if Jackson sits. … Chase Brown lost a second-quarter fumble in Cincinnati’s pre-bye Week 5 win at Miami and conceded considerable work to Samaje Perine thereafter. Perine wound up with 16 touches on a 51% playing-time clip against the Dolphins. The Ravens’ defense is stamping out the run, having held enemy RBs to 3.8 yards per carry and the NFL’s sixth-fewest fantasy points. Brown is an increasingly unreliable RB2. Perine continues to be one of fantasy’s most valuable bench stashes.
