Almost ran out of time for this one, so let's not waste time with the lead in.

Straight to the values ...

DraftKings

The Buccaneers defense is missing CB Carlton Davis and slot CB/S Antoine Winfield Jr. tonight. That's obviously good for the Ravens' pass offense on whole. The greatest beneficiaries, however, might be:

1. WR Devin Duvernay, who runs primarily on the same side of the field where Davis spends most of his time, and
2. TE Mark Andrews, Baltimore's biggest slot threat.

Andrews, of course, enters this game questionable with a knee injury that kept him out of practice all week. That leaves room for Isaiah Likely to potentially gain snaps within this game. One other guy who doesn't even appear in the chart above -- because we didn't project him this week -- is TE Josh Oliver. He has played a lot more snaps than Likely for the season but hasn't run as many pass routes. Oliver finished ahead of Likely even in that category last week, though, amid a particularly run-heavy game plan against the Browns.

We could see Oliver on the field more tonight if Baltimore goes with a similar approach. Oliver has seen just 7 total targets through 7 games and caught just 4 of them. That's why we didn't project him. But he's bare-minimum priced at $200 on DK, has seen at least 1 target in 3 straight games and did catch a TD pass in Week 3.

If he gives us anything tonight, that's a win.

Bucs TE Cade Otton is interesting (on both sites) as he goes up against the 5th most friendly defense to TE scoring, according to our adjusted fantasy points allowed.
