Matchup Analysis
Huntley starts with a different script
Lamar Jackson was ruled out, leaving Tyler Huntley to start after saying he received way more reps. His recent relief appearance featured high-percentage short throws, while Baltimore may also prefer handing the ball to Derrick Henry, potentially limiting Huntley's attempts.
SourceBaltimore trusts the offensive reboot
The Ravens have organization-wide buy-in to Jesse Minter and Declan Doyle's detailed, tempo-driven, physical scheme. That confidence includes Huntley, Flowers, Bateman, Justice Hill and others, although the offense is still described as gelling rather than fully settled.
Atlanta's play-action growth matters
Atlanta's recent scoring surge aligns with Michael Penix going 12-of-16 for 236 yards on play-action across his first two starts. The matchup is more attractive for Penix because a recent evaluation described Baltimore as having lost pass-rush strength and coverage reliability.
SourceLondon remains the primary receiving threat
Penix has said difficult throws to Drake London are effectively his ball or nobody's, and London ranks second in the league at 3.98 yards per route run while leading in receiving yards after the catch. That profile supports continued volume even as Atlanta also emphasizes Bijan Robinson.
The run matchup has competing signals
Bijan Robinson benefits from Jackson's absence, a deep threat that can discourage eight-man boxes, and expectations of more carries. Baltimore plans all-11 pursuit, however, while Henry called Atlanta's top-ranked run defense disruptive and blitz-heavy, making Robinson's efficiency the key uncertainty.
Baltimore's tight-end targets look thin
Kyle Pitts remains in a continuing tight-end rotation and has held only a 10% target share while London and Robinson command volume. Baltimore's Vannett was described as emergency-ready without a defined receiving assignment, while Smythe's injury and prior zero-target usage further weaken the tight-end receiving case.
Pick Ideas
Tyler Huntley completions over
Consider Tyler Huntley over completions because he received substantially more preparation reps as the starter and has recently operated with high-percentage short throws. Baltimore's detailed, tempo-driven reboot supports a controlled completion-based approach, though its preference for Henry handoffs could cap total attempts.
Bijan Robinson rushing yards over
Consider Bijan Robinson over rushing yards as Atlanta expects more of his workload with Lamar Jackson out and Penix's deep threat making it harder to stack eight defenders in the box. Baltimore's all-11 pursuit and top-ranked, disruptive run defense are meaningful counters, so the bet depends on Robinson converting increased volume.
Drake London receiving yards over
Drake London over receiving yards fits Atlanta's current offensive structure because Penix trusts him on contested throws and London ranks second in yards per route run while leading the league in receiving yards after the catch. His role is especially attractive with Atlanta's play-action production improving.
Derrick Henry receiving yards over
Derrick Henry over receiving yards is supported by his average of 13.1 receiving yards with Huntley compared with two with Jackson, making the quarterback change relevant beyond rushing usage. Henry's low 1.5 targets per game without Jackson and Atlanta's disruptive, blitz-heavy defense remain important risks.
Kyle Pitts receptions under
Kyle Pitts under receptions is supported by Atlanta continuing its tight-end rotation and his 10% target share while London and Robinson receive the central volume. The Ravens matchup also offers no obvious reason to override that usage pattern, particularly with Penix already showing strong trust in London.
