Start: John Brown, Baltimore Ravens

@ Cincinnati Bengals

The matchup against the Bengals gave me some pause, but the Ravens offense seems legit. Joe Flacco has a strong connection with his new receiving corps and it shows. He appears to be playing with a ton of confidence.

John Brown is one of those new targets and registered a touchdown in his first game in a Ravens uniform.

His production came on only four targets, but the pace of the game dictated that workload. Baltimore had control of the game early and started to take the air out of the ball. Things will be much closer against the Bengals.

Sit: Ted Ginn Jr., New Orleans Saints

vs. Cleveland Browns

Things got out of control quickly for the New Orleans Saints in Week 1. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were scoring at will which forced Drew Brees and company to keep pace. Ted Ginn Jr. was one of the main benefactors.

Typically, Ginn is used as the Saints deep threat only getting a few targets per game. This week he was targeted six times which helped his fantasy production. However, don’t expect this type of workload week in and week out.

The Saints are going to get back to a more balanced attack– especially when Mark Ingram returns from suspension.
