TOP PLAYS

WR Jaylen Waddle Over 63.5 Receiving Yards (-112)

With Tyreek Hill out for the season, Waddle is the clear WR1 in the Miami passing game attack. Over the last four games, the veteran wideout has been outstanding, slotting in as fantasy football’s overall WR9 in PPR formats – on the strength of 18 receptions for 319 yards and two touchdowns. Game-script will be in Waddle’s favor as Miami will likely be playing from behind, resulting in Tua Tagovailoa being forced to take to the air in the second half. Our projections have Waddle projected for 86 yards, resulting in 22.5 yards of expected value. Waddle, who has exceeded this demand in three of his last four games, has hauled in 3 – 30+ as well as 3 – 40+ yard receptions over that span. In primetime, Waddle will now face a Ravens defense allowing an average of 14 receptions for 159 yards per game to opposing wide receivers. A deeper dive reveals that Baltimore has allowed 7 opposing wide receivers to eclipse this line this season.

WR Zay Flowers Over 5.5 Receptions (+103)

With Lamar Jackson back under center, fantasy managers should start to see production once again from several Ravens’ skill-position players. Flowers, who owns the 7th-best Target-Share rate of 30.6%, is by far and away the best weapon in the Baltimore aerial attack. Fantasy football’s overall WR25 in PPR formats, has surpassed this demand in 5 of 7 games this season. Our projections have Flowers projected for 6.53 receptions, resulting in solid expected value being offered at plus-odds of +103. Flowers will face a Miami defense that has already allowed 4 opposing WR1’s (M. Pittman, 6; G. Wilson, 7; T. McMillian, 6; and L.McConkey, 7) to eclipse this receptions line this season.

TE – Isaiah Likely 25+ ALT Receiving Yards (+114)

Week 9’s showdown with Miami will mark the first time this season that Isaiah Likely and Lamar Jackson will both be on the field healthy. Likely draws an extremely favorable matchup against a Dolphins defense that has struggled containing opposing tight ends. Miami, who has allowed the most yards per route run to the position, is surrendering 6.25 receptions and 63.6 yards per game to the position. Despite the presence of Mark Andrews, a deeper dive reveals that Likely leads Baltimore’s TE’s with a 52.3% route rate across the last three games. Rather than pay juice at his 22.5 receiving line, we will instead target his ALT market of 25+ at plus-odds of +114.
