Week 15 Bengals vs. Ravens Start 'Em Sit 'Em Picks feat. Derrick Henry, Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow

The Baltimore Ravens had every reason to want a rematch against the Cincinnati Bengals, and they're getting one in Week 15. In the first matchup that took place on Nov. 27, Baltimore lost the contest 32-14 in a game that took place in Lamar Jackson's building.

With another matchup on tap, managers are once again scratching their heads about whether wanting revenge would be enough to change the result. Here's a look at some of the players to trust and others to stay away from.

The Cincinnati Bengals put on one of their best defensive performances of the season against Baltimore. However, with the element of surprise gone, Baltimore is likely to have a better showing. As such, you can trust Derrick Henry and Mark Andrews to get on the board.

However, Cincinnati's offense is no joke, and as such, you should be able to trust the usual suspects, such as Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. Higgins is questionable for the contest as he is still working through a concussion, according to Cincinnati's official injury report. He has only practiced in a limited capacity this week, but if he can get on the field, he's worth starting.

Until fully cleared, it would be smart to put in another name in case you forget, and he suffers a setback that rules him out, but it appears the odds are good he will be on the field to face the Ravens.

Must Starts

• Derrick Henry
• Mark Andrews
• Joe Burrow
• Ja'Marr Chase
• Tee Higgins

Lamar Jackson is not a trustworthy fantasy football quarterback in 2025. He saw a usable performance against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, but it was only his second 20+ point performance since Week 9. Jackson is still chasing his first 30-point game since Week 3 and finished with single-digit points the last time he faced Joe Burrow. Don't trust him unless you are in a desperate situation.

DeAndre Hopkins was once a must-have player for fantasy football. Today, he's not worth keeping on your bench. Hopkins hasn't earned more than 26 yards or scored a touchdown since Oct. 5. Now is not the time to take a flyer on him.

The same can be said of Rashod Bateman, who has just 18 catches for 217 yards and two touchdowns this season. No one has seen an improvement in offensive output in Baltimore, but Bateman's value has plummeted more than perhaps anyone, down from nine touchdowns and nearly 800 yards in 2024.

Must Sits

• Lamar Jackson
• DeAndre Hopkins
• Rashod Bateman
• Andrei Iosivas
• Keaton Mitchell
