Ravens @ Browns
Final Score: Browns 13 – Ravens 10
Writer: Brett Ford (@FadeThatMan)
Two Up
- Josh Cuevas – Who? That’s Ravens backup tight end, Josh Cuevas! Four catches and a TD as he looked like he might be TE1
- Browns Defense – Cleveland held the Ravens to a season-low 10 points, not allowing them to score at all after the first two drives of the game.
Three Down
- Denzel Boston – The lowest-output game of his career thus far.
- Derrick Henry – An ugly outing that included another late-game fumble.
- Mark Andrews – Did the Ravens hold Andrews accountable for Week 5, or is this a passing of the torch?
Baltimore Ravens
Quarterback
Tyler Huntley: 19/31, 165 Yards, TD | 5 Carries, 28 Yards
Huntley came out hot, going 4/4 and adding an eight-yard scramble on the Ravens’ game-opening touchdown drive but slowed significantly after the team’s first two drives of the game. Cleveland put the clamps on this offense over the final three quarters of the game and kept Huntley uncomfortable with nine hits and three sacks on the Ravens’ quarterback. The Ravens and fantasy managers alike will hope that Lamar Jackson is ready to return for Week 7.
Running Back
Derrick Henry: 17 Carries, 58 Yards | 2 Targets, 1 Reception, 2 Yards
Justice Hill: 4 Targets, 3 Receptions, 9 Yards
Henry gained 31 of his 58 rushing yards on the Ravens’ initial drive and was stone-walled the rest of the contest. After that, he finished the rest of the game with 12 carries for 27 yards, averaging just over 2.0 yards per carry on his final 12 totes. With his team leading by a touchdown in the fourth quarter, Henry coughed up a fumble that led to a game-tying touchdown drive for the Browns. Sound familiar? To Ravens fans, the story never changes.
Wide Receiver/Tight End
Zay Flowers: 11 Targets, 6 Receptions, 66 Yards | 1 Carry, 1 Yard
Another volume game for Flowers, who is emerging as a top receiver, not just in the Ravens’ offense but in the entire NFL. Most of his yardage came on a 31-yard catch-and-run as the Ravens relied on him to move the sticks. He continues to be one of the best fantasy receivers in the game.
Rashod Bateman: 1 Target
Ja’Kobi Lane: 5 Targets, 4 Receptions, 40 Yards
Devontez Walker: 2 Targets
Lane was back from injury for the first time since Week 1 and made some really solid plays, looking like a WR2 in this offense. Lane and Walker each were on the field significantly more often and ran more routes than Bateman, making it clear that the team has reorganized its depth chart at receiver behind Flowers.
Mark Andrews: 3 Targets, 1 Reception, 4 Yards
Josh Cuevas: 5 Targets, 4 Receptions, 44 Yards, TD
Speaking of reorganizing the depth chart, Mark Andrews, what happened? Andrews was on the field for 41 offensive snaps while Cuevas appeared for just 23 of them, but Cuevas ran 14 routes and was targeted on five of them. The Ravens used Cuevas in creative ways as well, including this in-line snap where he caught a 29-yard completion.
This is sick: #Ravens OC Declan Doyle lined up TE Josh Cuevas at LG, then released him into a route for a 29-yard gain.
Because Cuevas was off the line of scrimmage, he was eligible to go downfield.

Cleveland Browns
Quarterback
Deshaun Watson: 16/26 Passing, 164 Yards | 8 Carries, 29 Yards
This was a gross game across the board, including in the Browns’ passing game. But at least Watson continued the trend of using his legs to keep the sticks moving. Watson has now rushed for at least 20 yards in every game this season, averaging close to 30 yards per game. This has given fantasy managers a solid floor where, even in garbage passing games like this one, at least they can count on some points from his rushing.
Running Back
Quinshon Judkins: Did not play
Raheim Sanders: Did not play
Jaleel McLaughlin: 9 Carries, 41 Yards | 4 Targets, 4 Receptions, 14 Yards
Audric Estime: 9 Carries, 19 Yards, TD
With Quinshon Judkins and Raheim Sanders (and Dylan Sampson) sidelined, the Browns turned to the running back duo of Sean Payton dropouts, Jaleel McLaughlin and Audric Estime. The Cleveland backfield felt more like Denver East. McLaughlin took care of most of the early down and third down work while Estime stepped into short yardage and goal line carries, including a close-range touchdown in the fourth quarter. Neither are that appealing for fantasy, but if forced to choose between the two, McLaughlin seems to make the most sense with the way he dominated playing time and passing-down work.
Wide Receiver/Tight End
KC Concepcion: 6 Targets, 4 Receptions, 37 Yards
Denzel Boston: 5 Targets, 1 Reception, 15 Yards
Jerry Jeudy: 4 Targets, 4 Receptions, 69 Yards
Harold Fannin Jr.: 4 Targets, 1 Reception, 9 Yards
Concepcion was back in action after leaving Week 5 early with a concussion, which helped balance out the distribution of targets in the offense. With Watson playing relatively poorly and the game environment pretty miserable for all offensive parties, nobody really shined in this passing game. Fannin had a second consecutive dud, but played nearly 90% of offensive snaps. Despite the lack of production, I have faith that the Browns will get their young tight end involved again soon.
Tylan Wallace: 1 Target, 1 Reception, 12 Yards
Blake Whiteheart: 1 Target, 1 Reception, 8 Yards
