Baltimore Ravens DFS Spin
Fox’s Jay Glazer said the Ravens are optimistic Tyler Huntley (shoulder, wrist) will play in the Wild Card round against the Bengals. Huntley should be ready to go Sunday against the Bengals after being listed as questionable. Huntley has struggled mightily over the past month, providing little fantasy value and destroying Mark Andrews’ fantasy ceiling. He would, however, he a major upgrade over Anthony Brown, who started for Baltimore in Week 18.
Cincinnati Bengals DFS Spin
Bengals coach Zac Taylor said that Tee Higgins (illness) will play in Cincinnati’s Wild Card Round game against the Ravens. Not really a surprise after his full practice yesterday, Higgins will probably be off the final injury report altogether. He wound up missing just Wednesday’s practice. Higgins didn’t do much against the Ravens this season, so it will be interesting to see if he can do better in the Wild Card round on Sunday night.
