Ravens–Bills Week 1 features significant depth-chart shifts in Baltimore: Ricard and Likely out, paving the way for Lucas Scott and Zaire Mitchell-Paden to handle fullback/TE duties while Charlie Kolar sees a heavier early workload alongside Mark Andrews, who’s bullish on Kolar’s progress. Faalele returns to bolster the line, and Baltimore’s offense aims to exploit gaps with Kolar’s receiving ability as a complement to Andrews. Buffalo counters with Matt Prater stepping in for Tyler Bass, while its secondary is banged up (Hairston IR, White doubtful, Benford limited).

Fantasy angles center on the Ravens’ pass-catching duo around Andrews and Kolar, plus the evolving blocking/receiving mix from Kolar and Likely’s absence. For Buffalo, the kicking game and secondary health temper expectations, while the Ravens’ reshuffled group could yield opportunistic ground gains early, especially if Baltimore uses heavy tight-end packages to blunt Bills’ defensive pressure.
