NFL DFS Sunday Night Football: Browns vs. Ravens Showdown Breakdown

NFL Week 12 features a Sunday Night Football showdown between the Cleveland Browns and the Baltimore Ravens at 8:20 p.m. ET.

In this article, I’ll be using various FantasyLabs tools and other industry metrics to break down the slate.

Studs

There are some good players on these teams, but Lamar Jackson is the only true “stud” from a fantasy perspective. He leads all quarterbacks in terms of fantasy points per game this season, and his dual-threat skill set gives him an insane ceiling on a weekly basis. He struggled in his last game, racking up just 16.42 DraftKings points vs. the Dolphins, but he scored 35.64 the game before.

This will be his first meeting vs. the Browns this year, but they’re a team that he’s historically owned. He’s averaged more than 30.5 DraftKings points in five previous matchups vs. the Browns, resulting in an average Plus/Minus of +8.88 (per the Trends tool). That includes an epic 37.92 DraftKings points in his last meeting vs. the team last year. I’m not sure how indicative that is for his success in this matchup, but it’s something to consider.
