2020 DVOA
Ravens against the run #12
Ravens against the pass #10
Colts against the run #9
Colts against the pass #8
Favorites:
Lamar Jackson, $12,600
- Lamar for a showdown slate is a must, like always.
- 20+ DK points in every game this season.
- Colts have allowed the 7th most DK points to QBs.
- Need him in the Captain spot on most teams as well.
Marquise Brown, 11,000
- Think of his stats if he hadn’t dropped at least three TDs this year.
- The most explosive/high upside guy on the field for this game outside of Lamar.
- 19+ DK Pts in three of four games and is getting the majority of the targets (28).
- Need to stack with Lamar.
Michael Pittman, 9,000
- The Colts only real weapon in the passing game, has a whopping 36 targets already this season.
- 23 catches for 279 yards, but hasn’t gotten into the endzone.
- Should be playing from behind in this game and continue to get high volume.
- A correlated play with Latavius Murray makes sense.
Value:
Latavius Murray, $7,400
- Apparently going to be the lead guy as Ty’son Williams was inactive last week. I guess they are going to roll with the corpses of Devonta Freeman and Le’Veon Bell, which bodes really well for Murray.
- He is the goaline guy and has scored three TDs already.
- The first game he has been the bellcow was against the tough Denver D and he still managed 59 yards and a TD.
- Home favorite, positive game script.
Nyheim Hines, $5,600
- The pass catching back of a touchdown underdog on the road makes a ton of sense.
- Hines has 14 catches this year on 18 targets.
- Be sure to build around game scripts for showdown slates. A Raven 5-1 or 4-2 stack with Hines.
Sleepers:
Sammy Watkins, $5,800
- It feels like we know what we are going to get from Watkins, because he has done the same thing in the first four games. Targets= 8,7,7,7. Catches= 4,4,4,4. DK PTs= 13, 8, 10, 10
- I really like the match-up vs Xavier Rhodes however, who has been brutal this year.
- If Watkins can somehow get into the endzone to add to his 10-13 DK points, we will be in business.
Mo Alie-Cox, $5,000
- Not sure he is going to get into the endzone as frequently as he did last week, but what I like is he played the vast majority of the snaps (Doyle down to just 21 of the 71 plays).
- Ravens have allowed the 2nd most DK points to opposing TEs.
- Colts will be playing from behind, so Pittman, Hines, and Cox are good candidates to own.
