Baltimore Ravens manage to top Washington Commanders 196.70-166.98 despite falling short of expectations
There's no way around it, Baltimore Ravens dropped the ball, at least compared to projections. Still, they came out on top with a 196.70-166.98 win over Washington Commanders, who actually exceeded projections. Baltimore Ravens never trailed in this one after nabbing an 18.60-point lead on Thursday behind Travis Kelce (10.1 points) and DeAndre Carter (8.5). Joe Flacco (307 Pass Yds, 4 Pass TDs) and Aidan Hutchinson (6 Tackles, 3 Sacks) led the way for Washington Commanders in the loss. Baltimore Ravens (2-0) will look to maintain their winning ways against Miami HammerHeads, while Washington Commanders (0-2) take on Tampa Bay Ducks in an effort to right the ship.
Burns (4 Tackles, 2 Sacks) scored 14 points in a 19-16 lost to the Giants in Week 2. His scoring output was 76.1% more than his 7.95-point projection. Burns ranks #1 among fantasy DEs this season and will face the Saints next week.

Baltimore Ravens
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Baltimore Ravens! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve. Our QB was utterly outplayed by the opposition. Joe Flacco went 26-of-44 for 307 yards and four touchdowns for Washington Commanders, and all Tom Brady could manage through the air was 190 yards and one passing TD. Let's put some more effort into scouting those upcoming defenses!
Washington Commanders
Hey, it's possible that Washington Commanders could be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating only 13 targets as a group this past week, their six wide receivers apparently spent most of their games blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
