Studs
These are the top-projected players on the slate. I'd recommend having at least three of these players in most of your lineups, either as captain or in a flex spot.
Lamar Jackson ($11,800) leads a Ravens offense ranked 17th in pass rate over expectation (PROE). He’ll face a Lions defense that has allowed 31.9 passing fantasy points through two weeks (12th-most).
Amon-Ra St. Brown ($10,400) has 16 targets on 91.7% route participation. He’ll face a Ravens defense that has allowed 10 yards per reception (23rd-most).
