It’s been a rough season for the Ravens, who have just one win and will once again be without Lamar Jackson. Meanwhile, the Bears are keeping themselves firmly in the NFC playoff hunt behind rookie sensation Caleb Williams and a rejuvenated offense. This matchup couldn’t come at a better time for Chicago — a chance to build momentum against a struggling Baltimore team.
🔥 Quick Start Table
| Team | Start ‘Em 🔥 | Sit ‘Em 🚫 | Flex/Sleeper 😴 |
| Ravens | Derrick Henry | — | Zay Flowers |
| Bears | Caleb Williams, D’Andre Swift | — | Rome Odunze, DJ Moore |
⚫ Baltimore Ravens
Start — Derrick Henry (RB)
Even without Lamar Jackson, Henry continues to be the heartbeat of this offense. He’s produced solid numbers every week, and the Bears’ run defense has been vulnerable, allowing several big rushing performances this season. Expect 90+ total yards and a touchdown as Henry powers through for another strong outing.
Flex 💪 — Zay Flowers (WR)
Flowers remains Baltimore’s most consistent receiving weapon, even with backup QB Rush under center. He’s been a steady WR2/flex play, and this week’s matchup could finally yield a touchdown. Expect 70+ yards and a score as Flowers looks to spark some life into the Ravens’ passing attack.
🐻 Chicago Bears
Start — Caleb Williams (QB)
The rookie has shown poise and creativity, and this is a prime matchup to pad his stats. The Ravens’ defense can’t generate pressure, and their secondary has been exposed repeatedly. Expect Williams to deliver 250+ passing yards and multiple touchdowns, making him a top-10 QB option this week.
Start — D’Andre Swift (RB)
Swift’s resurgence has been one of Chicago’s most pleasant surprises. He’s running with confidence and seeing consistent volume both as a rusher and receiver. The Ravens’ defense has struggled to contain backs in space, setting Swift up for 100 total yards and a touchdown.
Flex 💪 — Rome Odunze (WR)
After a quiet couple of weeks, Odunze is primed for a bounce-back performance. His connection with Williams remains strong, and he could take advantage of Baltimore’s inconsistent secondary. Expect a 5–6 catch, 70-yard day with a shot at a score.
Sleeper — DJ Moore (WR)
Moore hasn’t been dominant this season, but this matchup has “get right” written all over it. He’s due for a red-zone look or a big play downfield. Consider him a sneaky flex who could easily find the end zone this week.
🔮 Final Takeaway
The Bears have all the momentum heading into this one, and with the Ravens limping without Jackson, this could get out of hand early. Expect Chicago to control the tempo and keep their playoff push alive, while Baltimore leans heavily on Henry to stay competitive.
