START ’EM

New York Jets running back Breece Hall (20) runs with the ball, Sunday January 5, 2025, in East Rutherford.

Lamar Jackson — QB, Ravens

Jackson didn’t explode last week (Cleveland always plays Baltimore tough), but this week should look very different. Expect efficiency + rushing + multiple TD opportunities.

Derrick Henry — RB, Ravens

This matchup screams big ground game. Baltimore should be playing ahead, Henry will eat. RB1 upside.

Zay Flowers — WR, Ravens

Consistent, explosive, targets are stable. Should get loose underneath and down the seam. Strong WR2 with TD upside.

Mark Andrews — TE, Ravens

Finally trending upward again. Found pay dirt last week, production improving. Expect continued involvement and RZ looks.

Breece Hall — RB, Jets

The one reliable Jet. NY must lean on him as a runner and receiver to even stay competitive. Volume + usage = fantasy start.

John Metchie — WR, Jets (Upside Flex)

Scored last week, and should be a primary target again. Deep-league WR3/Flex appeal.

Sleeper: Mason Taylor — TE, Jets

Caught all four of his targets last week, and usage is quietly climbing. If desperate at TE, this is your dart.

Baltimore D/ST

Jets’ offense is turnover-friendly, inefficient, predictable. Start with confidence.

SIT ’EM

Isaiah Likely — TE, Ravens

Until he’s being schemed touches, he’s a firm sit.

Adonai Mitchell — WR, Jets

Two crucial drops last week, hurt the offense badly and may have gotten Fields Benched. Sit until he earns trust back.

Jets D/ST

Wrong matchup. Wrong week. Baltimore is rolling early here.

FINAL TAKEAWAY

The Ravens should take control early and never look back.

Expect:

Lamar efficiency

Henry volume hammering the clock

• Flowers + Andrews producing on script

Breece Hall staying fantasy-relevant through necessity

This is a “take care of business” kind of week for Baltimore…

…and a “hang on for dear life” kind of week for New York.
