Episode notes
Ravens-Lions Offensive Shootout
- The Ravens lead the NFL in scoring and face a Lions offense that also ranks top three, forecasting a high-scoring Monday night game.
- Mark Andrews remains a risky fantasy play despite pedigree, but his volume on the league's best offense preserves upside.
Don't Drop Andrews After Two Games
- Avoid benching Mark Andrews solely for two poor stat lines unless you have a clearly better option.
- If you can add a productive tight end like Hunter Henry or a waiver option, consider benching Andrews until he produces.
Backup QB Week Prep Matters
- Backup quarterbacks who prepare all week usually play better than emergency fill-ins, so Jake Browning's Week 3 start should be underrated.
- Vikings' run-plan and Aaron Jones injury make Jordan Mason an immediate fantasy asset.
