Game Info
Kickoff: Sunday, November 1, 2026, 1:00 PM ET
Location: Highmark Stadium, Orchard Park, NY
Network: CBS
Baltimore Ravens
Quarterback
Lamar Jackson: START, QB1
Starting Lamar Jackson is a formality. The Nightmare Before Christmas is a weirdly perfect fit for Lamar. Nobody can agree what holiday gets to claim it, just like nobody could agree what position Lamar was. Both arguments aged badly. Elite.
Running Back
Derrick Henry: START, RB1
Derrick Henry has back-to-back brutal performances, but is set up to bounce back bigly against Buffalo. For starters, the return of Jackson should help, as does the Bills allowing over 27 points per game to the position. Even with the recent struggles, Henry ranks as the RB10 on a points-per-game basis, and his 36 red zone carries rank second at the position.
Wide Receiver
Zay Flowers: START, WR1
Rashod Bateman: FLEX, WR4
Ja’Kobi Lane: FLEX, WR4
Despite missing Lamar Jackson for three straight games, Zay Flowers currently sits as the WR5, averaging 20.4 points per game, ranking inside the top five in target share, receiving yards per game, and yards per route run. Flowers scored at least 12 points in all of Tyler Huntley‘s starts and gets the unquestioned top matchup for receivers in a game projected to go to the mid-50s. He’s my WR1 on the week.
Tight End
Mark Andrews: SIT
Mark Andrews was unable to take advantage of a solid matchup against the Bengals and has fewer than six fantasy points in four of his last five games. His only hope to return to fantasy relevance is the return of Lamar. I want to see it before chancing it.
Defense/Special Teams
Baltimore Ravens: SIT
Buffalo Bills
Quarterback
Josh Allen: START, QB1
Josh Allen has a seat at the table every single week. He’s the house handing out full-size candy bars on Halloween. Automatic W.
Running Back
James Cook III: START, RB1
Usually among the top five fantasy backs on any given week, James Cook is more of a back-end RB1 against the Ravens. Baltimore is a bottom-five matchup and only allows 14.6 receiving yards per game, likely limiting Cook’s ceiling. He’s a weekly start for sure, but the Ravens hold opposing running backs to under 80 rushing yards per game as well.
Wide Receiver
DJ Moore: START, WR2
Khalil Shakir: FLEX, WR4
Keon Coleman: FLEX, WR4
DJ Moore hasn’t played since Week 4 as he recovers from an AC joint sprain and was limited in practice at the time of writing. If Moore is able to return against the Bills, he’s an easy start, and Khalil Shakir would be bumped to FLEX status. Keon Coleman scored touchdowns in three straight games heading into the Bills bye, and remains a boom/bust FLEX in a projected shootout regardless of whether Moore returns or not.
Tight End
Dalton Kincaid: START, TE1
Dalton Kincaid ranks second in yards per route run and fourth in average depth of target for tight ends, but he’s not been able to turn those gaudy numbers into fantasy production as of late. Kincaid had fewer than five points in three of the Bills’ last four games before the bye, and that’s with Moore sidelined. Baltimore is an average matchup but allows just 4.1 catches to tight ends per game. Kincaid is still a start and borderline TE1 in a week without Isaiah Likely and George Kittle due to byes.
Defense/Special Teams
Buffalo Bills: SIT
