In today's Fantasy Life Newsletter, presented by Underdog:
The last time the Ravens and Bengals met in Week 5, they combined for 76 points.
Now theyāll clash again tonight in an outdoor divisional rematch.
Our crew has written about a bunch of plays for this game in various pieces this week. Hereās a quick list of action items ā¦
Donāt be scared of Mark Andrews. One of Ianās bold predictions this week is Andrews goes nuts with Isaiah Likely ruled out with a hamstring injury. He has a helicopter-worthy forecast for the TE.
The Big Dog is gonna eat. Per Matthew Freedman, Henry has 12 goal-line carries and six TDs inside the five-yard line. He loves Joe Burrow, too.
Start Mike Gesicki. Kendall wrote up Gesicki for her waiver column this week. Heās averaging a ā20% target share and 25% air yard shareā in games without Tee Higgins, who is once again expected to miss.
Chase Brown canāt be stopped. Dwain broke down the breakout in this weekās Utilization Report.
Take the over (52.5). Freedman points out how both of these defenses are āvulnerable in exactly the wrong way.ā
Grab the Bengals to make the playoffs (-105). Geoff loves the Bengals upcoming schedule. Get in now before the odds shrink.

11/07 Stat of The Day: An Unlikely Hero
by Geoff Ulrich
The Stat: Hunter Henry is third among all TEs in Air YardsĀ
Henry started the season slowly, but he enters this week on a tear averaging 6.6 rec and 64.33 yards over his last three games. The former Charger is now eighth in fantasy points among TEs in PPR scoring and has averaged 7.7 targets over his last three games.Ā
HenryāsĀ Utilization Score on Fantasy Life is sitting at a solid 7.5, the sixth-highest score among TEs. However, itās also worth noting that he also now ranks 3rd inĀ total air yards at his position, just 13 yards behindĀ Brock Bowers, and in front of names likeĀ Trey McBrideĀ andĀ George Kittle.
Henry can likely still be had for relatively cheap on the trade market or waiver wire (depending on the league size or format), although his price is certainly rising. His usage suggests that as long asĀ Drake Maye is QB, heāll be a solid producer the rest of the season and a name you can trust at an untrustworthy position.
