Buffalo Bills @ Baltimore Ravens (-2.5)
O/U 46.5
We’ve got an exciting matchup in Baltimore tonight as the high-flying Bills take on Lamar Jackson and the Ravens. Expect scattered showers, but they shouldn’t impact the game significantly. The top players for this slate are pricey, making it tough to roster both Josh Allen and Jackson in the same lineup. I anticipate a close game, so I’ll be focusing on balanced 3-3 and 4-2 builds.
Captain Spot
Choosing a captain feels pretty straightforward tonight. Either of the quarterbacks or Derrick Henry makes a strong choice. I lean toward Henry for the slight salary savings. However, if you’re feeling bold (which is a good idea for at least one lineup), consider putting Mark Andrews in the captain spot. He’s had a rough season so far, but he’s always capable of delivering a game-breaking performance.
- Derrick Henry: $14,700
- Josh Allen: $16,500
- Lamar Jackson: $16,200
- Mark Andrews: $8,700
Flex Spots
I’m liking Buffalo’s passing attack tonight, especially against a tough Ravens run defense. While James Cook has receiving upside, I prefer Shakir and Dalton Kincaid as key targets. On the Ravens side, Buffalo’s defense is stronger against the pass than the run, so I’ll have Derrick Henry in most lineups.
- Khalil Shakir: $7,600
- Derrick Henry: $9,800
- Dalton Kincaid: $7,200
- Isaiah Likely: $6,200
Value Plays
Value options are a bit thin tonight, but fading Mark Andrews could backfire. Curtis Samuel has been improving each week for the Bills and comes at a good price. Mack Hollins is another option, as he often sees red zone targets.
- Mark Andrews, $5,800
- Justice Hill, 5,400
- Curtis Samuel, $3,400
- Mack Hollins, $2,000
