Indianapolis Colts DFS Spin
Colts QB Gardner Minshew will start in Week 3 against the Ravens. With Anthony Richardson still in concussion protocol, Minshew will get a chance to start his first game of 2023. The veteran quarterback threw for 171 yards and a touchdown in relief of Richardson last week, and is now on his third season with head coach Shane Steichen after the two spent 2021 and 2022 together in Philadelphia. Minshew is among the best backup quarterbacks in the league and could be relied on in a pinch as a low-end streaming option in 2QB and superflex leagues.
Baltimore Ravens DFS Spin
Ravens WR Odell Beckham Jr. (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 3 against the Colts. Beckham missed all three practices this week despite head coach John Harbaugh downplaying the severity of his injury. OBJ did try to play on his injured ankle in Week 2 against the Bengals, so it’s possible he’ll only miss one or two games, but we know he’s at least out for Week 3 against the Colts. Rashod Bateman and Nelson Agholor could both benefit from OBJ’s absence, but it was Bateman who led all receivers in second-half snaps (21) after OBJ was ruled out.

Colts vs. Ravens Prediction:
Give me the Colts. Indianapolis has been competitive through the first two weeks of the season. They had every opportunity to beat Jacksonville in Week 1 and handled Houston last Sunday without Richardson for most of the game. Minshew is capable of keeping the Colts in the game and the Ravens are banged-up.
