The Ravens Hold Barkley UNDER 75 Rushing Yards
To beat the Eagles, you need to be able to stop Saquon Barkley. Surely, that will be Baltimore’s biggest focus this week. The league’s best run defense has yet to cede 100 yards to a single rusher all season, and have only allowed a 60-yard rusher once. In terms of yards per carry, explosive plays, whatever…this Ravens rushing defense is the best in the business. Knowing his impact on games, and the Eagles struggles when faced against constant pressure, I expect the Ravens to force the Eagles into a passing game script.
That’s not to say I’m fading Barkley, who could shred this defense through the air. Merely, I expect Baltimore to make Jalen Hurts beat them. This matchup will be a test for both teams, and I think the Ravens will be the ones to answer the call.
Courtland Sutton Notches Another Top-10 Fantasy Performance
The Broncos are on an absolute tear right now, and a huge piece of that is the connection between Bo Nix and Courtland Sutton. Sutton has earned eight or more targets in five straight games, finishing as a top 10 receiver in three of the five matchups. Facing Cleveland, a struggling secondary with or without banged up Denzel Ward, isn’t the toughest opponent to continue this streak against. Regardless, I think he see another 75+ yards out of Sutton with a score added in.
Bryce Young has Another Turnover-less, 20-point Fantasy Week
Don’t look now, but Bryce Young has been serviceable lately. He scored 20 fantasy points in a turnover-less game, his first since Week 16 of last year and third of his career. You could feel the confidence growing against the reigning champs. Taking a team like Kansas City to the brink is the exact type of confidence builder Young needs to turn his career around.
For now, he’ll still get the benefit of defenses not taking him seriously. A team like Tampa, who is looking ahead to their playoff path, could regret overlooking Young. Remaining at home against Tampa, who have struggled to create takeaways over their last few games, I think Young can keep his hot streak going.
Adonai Mitchell Scores 15 Fantasy Points Against New England
The Patriots run a lot of man coverage, and Adonai Mitchell excels against Man Coverage. Per Fantasy Points Data, he’s one of the best separators against Man Coverage and draws an excessive number of targets against it. Even better, Christian Gonzalez will be spending the majority of his time covering Michael Pittman Jr. With Josh Downs inactive, Mitchell is sure to see a massive increase in playing time and targets.
There's no player I'm more excited for than Adonai Mitchell on Sunday.
– Anthony Richardson leads the league with a 19.9% deep throw rate
– The Patriots have surrendered the 7th-most deep receiving YPG (52.7)
And Mitchell has a nuts schematic matchup:

The production history hasn’t been pretty, but this is a picture-perfect matchup this weekend for Mitchell. Not only do I think he’ll be serviceable, but he’ll excel. I’m projecting (vibes-based projection) Mitchell to have a breakout game with 5+ receptions, 75+ yards, and even a score.
