Detroit's Week 2 eruption, posting 500+ total yards, five passing TDs and two rushing scores, showcased Jared Goff attached to a dominant line and sharper play-calling. Now Monday night in Baltimore looms as a true litmus test, with Lamar Jackson and a powerful Ravens attack waiting. The line tags Detroit as 4.5-point underdogs, a reflection of the challenge but also a potential upset spark for fantasy managers eyeing a high-variance, high-reward showdown.

The Ravens’ offense, balanced by Derrick Henry’s big-volume backfield, presents a stern test for Detroit’s improvement. This game doubles as a benchmark for both teams’ Super Bowl aspirations and fantasy upside, where efficient Lions drive contrasts with Baltimore’s爆 explosive, multi-dimensional attack in primetime.

Detroit travels to Baltimore for Monday Night Football after Week 2's surge, facing a Ravens offense led by Lamar Jackson with Derrick Henry, Zay Flowers and De'Andre Hopkins. Baltimore's run game and Jackson's mobility keep it dangerous, while Detroit's improved line and tackling try to slow them and force mistakes.

Key questions hinge on pass protection and edge pressure. If Detroit can disrupt Jackson and win upfront, this stays tight; Baltimore must protect Jackson and carve out long drives. For fantasy, lean Jackson and Flowers, with Hopkins as a value in deeper formats; the line sits Ravens -5.5 in a likely close one.

Buffalo marches into Week 3 riding a 2-0 start and a favorable three-game homestand that could set up a 3-0 sweep in the AFC East before a November test with Kansas City. James Cook’s 132-yard, two-TD day underscored a balanced attack, while Josh Allen managed an efficient performance without needing Superman-level numbers. The defense limited the Jets’ chances, keeping Buffalo in control and widening the gap in the division. For fantasy managers, Cook’s rising workload, continued rushing floor from Allen, and the Bills’ multi-faceted approach stand out as clear signals to prioritize Bills assets in the near term.

Buffalo’s path remains grounded in a ground-and-stop-the-run philosophy, with Trubisky providing a brief, supportive spark but not altering the core plan. The looming Week 3 clash with Miami adds a meaningful test, yet the overall setup favors Buffalo’s fantasy ceiling: Cook as a strong RB2 with upside, Allen’s rushing floor, and a defense that can win scenarios without heavy quarterback scoring.
