Balt Sun: Ravens RB J.K. Dobbins returns to practice, but WR Rashod Bateman still sidelined

[jamesdean]

I doubt Bateman plays. And what's up with Boyle? I think him and Stanley are having a contest to see who go the longest without actually playing a game.

[Mike in STL]

Maybe its cause I'm still fuming over Sunday and its recency bias, but Bengals +3.5 seems like a steal.

Boyle played on special teams the past two weeks, and got 4 offensive snaps against the Pats. I guess he's just not any good anymore.

With Hill out, if Bateman can't go that takes away two of their three best playmaking options outside of Jackson.  If I'm Cincinnati I double Andrews, spy Jackson, and let my safeties make sure Duvernay doesn't get deep.  Dobbins hasn't yet show the burst or full game durability that Hill was showing.

The Ravens typically don't activate players who miss the week of practice. So WR Rashod Bateman, RB Justice Hill and OLB Justin Houston are all long shots vs. Cincinnati. TBD on LT Ronnie Stanley, OLB Jason Pierre-Paul and CB Marcus Peters.

[PrimeTime]

Bateman, Houston and Hill are all confirmed out; Stanley and Peters are questionable.

[BaltBird 24]

Hopefully Peters and JPP can go. Don't have much faith in Stanley.

After having 2 terrible choke jobs at home, to start the season. Followed by watching Burrow and the Bengals absolutely own them on last year's film all week, I'd say this is the true litmus test for this teams heart. If they come out and lay an egg, and get rolled by Cincy again, they don't deserve to win another game. Too early to say this is a must win. But it certainly is the kind of game that will define the character of this seasons team for the season.

At the very least, it will define who is a better team just as Buffalo did last week.

Shame what has happened to him.

This is definitely a gut check game for the Ravens.

Ja'marr Chase has been a little underwhelming in fantasy this year. This feels like his 10-148-2 "get right" game.

[You Play to Win the Game]

Why 148? Can we get a more detailed breakdown? Play by play? I have an early morning tomorrow, so if you already know what happens I can catch some extra Z’s.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Some thoughts...

 

- Need to run.  Shame Gus isn't back.  Shame Hill isn't available either.  Need JK and Lamar to pile up the yardage. 

 

- No Bateman...  More Robinson? Maybe Proche gets catch #1?  I think you need to get Likely involved. 

 

- The Secondary is going to be challenged even if Peters is available... if he's not?  Let Cincinnati march up and down between the 20s.  Do not get beaten over the top.  Tighten up in the RZ.  

 

- Obviously can't turn the ball over and give Cincinnati additional possessions.

Just feels like the right number. Can't explain it.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Stanley and Peters are active.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Hill, Bateman, Houston, Cleveland, Klein, Armour-Davis inactive.

No JAD?! Guess we'll have to depend on someone else to stand still and get burned. lol

[BaltBird 24]

Not expecting much, but would welcome a pleasant surprise.
