Week 1’s NFL All-Star offense and defense deliver a blueprint for fantasy success: Josh Allen powers the Bills’ 41-40 comeback with 394 passing yards and dual threat scores, while Derrick Henry and Saquon Barkley anchor the backfield. Puka Nacua, Zay Flowers and Jaxon Smith-Njigba headline the receivers, Brock Bowers shines at TE amid a Week 1 injury, and the O-line trio Alt-Membou-Vorhees-Goncalves with Erik McCoy paves the way. Defenders Myles Garrett, Nnamdi Madubuike, Ed Oliver and Nick Bosa pace the line, with Roquan Smith, Devin White and Harold Landry at LB and a sturdy secondary led by Adebo, Wright, Love and Curl. Special teams shine in Boswell, Cooke and Dike’s performances.

Ravens' Week 1 41-40 loss to Bills exposed major warts in the offense. Justice Hill (35.1), Tylan Wallace (39.5), Andrew Vorhees (46.3) and Roger Rosengarten (57.4) were among the worst Ravens graders, highlighting struggles in the run game and inside blocking. Matt Prater’s late kick sealed the win for Buffalo. Baltimore now pivots to Week 2 against Cleveland with questions about which receivers and linemen will anchor the attack.

Fantasy managers should watch how the backfield and blocking develop in Week 2. If the run game remains inefficient, look for shifts in target distribution or surprise contributors as the Ravens try to regain rhythm after the gut-punch finish.

Daniel Jones won Indianapolis’ starting job this preseason, posting a clear edge in accuracy and a higher PFF grade than Anthony Richardson, signaling a safer floor for Colts pass-catchers. The Jets plan a RB committee headlined by Breece Hall, with Braelon Allen, Isaiah Davis and possibly Donovan Edwards sharing reps, keeping fantasy upside diversified. Andrew Vorhees seized Baltimore’s left guard spot, while rookies Dylan Fairchild and Seattle’s interior linemen showed upside. Cardinals’ Max Melton and Will Johnson earned starting corner roles, and Tampa Bay’s Jacob Parrish emerged as a notable slot option. These battles set the tone for early-season fantasy boards and 2025 projections.

Baltimore returned to practice after a spirited, sharp session two days after a preseason win over the Colts. Lamar Jackson showcased elite playmaking, while the passing attack continued to evolve with DeAndre Hopkins and Zay Flowers pairing for big plays in the red zone. Andrews and Kolar connected in back-to-back red-zone drives, underscoring a versatile tight end corps. Keaton Mitchell flashed breakaway speed with 68 rushing yards and a TD, and LaJohntay Wester delivered a punt-return TD and a couple of solid grabs, signaling intriguing depth at WR and special-teams impact. The defense forced a few turnovers, with Wiggins and Awuzie making plays, and Pagano back in a familiar coaching role. Baltimore heads toward Week 2 with Cowboys on the horizon and roster decisions looming, holding a clear path to step the execution up a notch as camp tightens.

The Baltimore Ravens have announced significant progress in the offseason by signing nine of their eleven NFL Draft picks, including offensive tackle Emery Jones Jr. and inside linebacker Teddye Buchanan. The team's focus remains on enhancing the protection for quarterback Lamar Jackson, especially following the loss of lineman Patrick Mekari in free agency. General manager Eric DeCosta emphasized the need for depth in the offensive line, which was addressed during the draft.

New additions include cornerback Bilhal Kone, kicker Tyler Loop, and wide receiver LaJohntay Wester. The Ravens have also signed veteran swing tackle Joe Noteboom, who is expected to provide much-needed support in various offensive line positions. Noteboom’s experience includes time spent with the Los Angeles Rams, where he had significant contributions despite struggles with injuries.
