Broncos vs. Ravens: Fantasy football projections featuring Peyton Manning, DeMaryius Thomas and Ray Rice
We break down the pertinent fantasy projections for the Week 15 matchup between the Denver Broncos and Baltimore Ravens.
US PRESSWIRE
The Ravens have been known to keep QBs in check, but they're a little banged up and Peyton Manning should have some success. DeMaryius Thomas and Eric Decker should be locked and loaded in all lineups.
Knowshon Moreno has been a marvelous addition to fantasy teams and he received a career-high carries in his last game against the Raiders. He should be viewed as a high-end RB2.
The Ravens said goodbye to offensive coordinator Cam Cameron this week, so it should be interesting to see what happens with Ray Rice. Rice shockingly ranks just 12th in carries, but there's a good chance that the Ravens will need a heavy dose of him to try and keep Manning off the field.
The Broncos are also scoring in bunches, so Joe Flacco might have to count on Anquan Boldin and Torrey Smith. Boldin has been more reliable than Smith lately, but Smith and his big-play ability gets a slight edge over Boldin in our projections.
