Daily Fantasy: The one Ravens player you need to start in Week 3 on DraftKings

After shredding the Texans offense in Week 2, Ravens star Lamar Jackson is the one Baltimore player you must start in Week 3 on DraftKings.

This week’s edition of Monday Night Football offers Game of the Year potential when the undefeated Baltimore Ravens host the reigning Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs in a matchup of the past two NFL MVPs.

Both teams are heavy favorites to win the Super Bowl this season and it’ll be on the backs of their quarterbacks. Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes are the two most exciting signal-callers in the NFL and the 2020 matchup marks the third straight season they’ll face off against one another.

Jackson is the one Ravens player you need to start in Week 3 on DraftKings because outside of his all-world rushing ability, the 2020 version is producing historic passing numbers that are on pace to rewrite the NFL’s record books. Last week, Jackson became the first player in league history with at least 45 touchdown passes (45) and fewer than 10 interceptions (9) over his first 600 pass attempts.

In last week’s win over the winless Houston Texans, Jackson went 18 of 24 passing for 204 yards and one passing touchdown. Jackson did his part on the ground as well, carrying 16 times for 54, and amassing 254 total yards of offense.

The Ravens star has worked on his deep-ball accuracy since last season. Jackson has completed 58.3 percent (7 of 12) so far this year, up from the 39.5 percent he completed last season.

Jackson’s a must-play against the Chiefs’ defense because he has just one interception over his last 29 touchdown passes and Kansas City, susceptible to the pass, have also allowed 301 rushing yards so far in two games, while also struggling to create pressure or turnovers.

The Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans face off in Week 2 of the 2020 NFL season, a week after both starting quarterbacks had polar opposite debuts.

The Ravens started off their 2020 campaign by exacting swift revenge on their division rival Cleveland Browns, while the Texans, without DeAndre Hopkins, had no answer for Patrick Mahomes and the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs.

With Baltimore having a boatload of fantasy football options, rookie running back J.K. Dobbins is the Ravens’ must-start player for this week on DraftKings with a reasonable salary of $5,100.

The Ravens running back situation is a bit complicated coming off a 2019 season that saw Baltimore set the single-season record for most rushing yards by a team. The weaponry was upgraded when Baltimore got a steal with Dobbins in the second round, adding him to a hard-running backfield that already included Mark Ingram and Gus Edwards.

The Ravens did the bulk of the damage to Cleveland through the air on Sunday, but Dobbins’ ability to find paydirt makes him a must-have asset this week. Dobbins made the most of his opportunities by rushing for two scores and most importantly, he ended up with more snaps than Ingram last week, while also cementing his status as the Ravens’ goalline back moving forward.

Daily Fantasy: The one Ravens player you need to start in Week 1 on DraftKings

Look no further than the reigning MVP as the best Ravens bet for Daily Fantasy in Week 1.

The 2020 NFL season is upon us and for Baltimore Ravens fans that means seeing if the reigning NFL MVP can run it back. Jackson was named the 2019 NFL MVP at NFL Honors in February after the Raven star signal-caller earned all 50 first-place votes, making him only the second unanimous MVP in NFL history (Tom Brady 2010).

Fans and experts alike have been clamoring for fantasy football for months and we’re just days away from the Ravens hosting the Browns in the season opener. With multiple options on offense to choose from, Jackson is the obvious choice for the one Baltimore player you have to start on DraftKings fantasy site.

Jackson is the No. 1 ranked fantasy quarterback on DraftKings with a salary of $8,100, while the Browns defense is looking to gel and take the next step in a division that has seen the Steelers and Ravens dominate.

With Jackson under center, the Ravens averaged an NFL high 31.9 points per game but did struggle in the Ravens’ Week 16 win over the Browns in Cleveland.

The Browns defense was average last season, ranking 17th against the pass and 30th against the run, and will be forced to deal with Jackson and two monster running backs in Mark Ingram and the rookie JK Dobbins. With so much attention on the running game, look for the Ravens to utilize the passing game, focusing on tight end Mark Andrews and ever bulked up Marquise Hollywood Brown.

Jackson had two monster offensive performances against the Browns last season, posting fantasy points of 33.8 and 26.48 DraftKing points in his two games against the Browns last year. With the talented Miles Boykin and rookie, Devin Duvernay joining the madness, look for Jackson to explode in the season opener.
