Ravens vs. Chargers: Fantasy football projections featuring Ray Rice, Philip Rivers and Ryan Mathews

We break down the pertinent fantasy projections for the Week 12 matchup between the Baltimore Ravens and San Diego Chargers.

Jason Bridge-US PRESSWIRE

The Ravens will travel to San Diego to take on the Chargers. Fantasy football playoffs are approaching, which means every week is a vital matchup. To help you prepare your fantasy football lineup for Week 11, we've got game-by-game player projections courtesy of numberFire.

The Ravens slowed down on Sunday with just 20 points after hanging a 50 burger on the Raiders a couple games ago. The aerial attack has quieted down and the talk of Joe Flacco emerging as a true QB1 hasn't quite lived up to the hype.

Ray Rice should have some success against the Chargers and their 3-4. He has been racking up the yards from scrimmage this year and has added 337 receiving yards to his 697 rushing yards. He is a must-start RB for the rest of the way.

How up and down has Philip Rivers been? Not just from week to week, but he will be fantastic in the first half and stink in up in the second. The Ravens do have some holes on their D with LarDarius Webb out for the season and he may have some success.

Ryan Mathews has been the most annoying player to own and it's tough to start him. Usually, any player taken in the first or second round is a must-start option, but Norv Turner has been raining on Mathews' parade all year.
