START ‘EM

Ravens. Ravens D/ST. 5. player. 26. Projected Points: 7.4. D/ST

Normally I go with the “Play whichever defense is facing the Colts” strategy, but I gave that a rest for this week. For one, the Colts are hosting the Browns, so I don’t feel too confident there, and two… The Ravens defense is a good starting option!

The Ravens defense has been solid this season.

The Ravens will be squaring off with the Jacksonville Jaguars in London (which is really becoming home to the Jaguars) and this Jags team turned the ball over A LOT against the Titans last week.

We can start with the fact that Blake Bortles is awful. I was in the camp of “he’ll be good!” during that 2014 NFL Draft, but boy was I wrong? Bortles threw two picks last week and also lost a fumble.

The Ravens defense has been solid this season. They shut out the Bengals in week one and forced four Andy Dalton turnovers and then went on to hold the Browns to just ten points in week two. They again forced four interceptions and now have eight on the year.

Yeah, if you have Baltimore’s defense, you best be starting them this week. It’ll be a “great” show in London.
