Fantasy: Start 'Em, Sit 'Em and Sleeper

Start 'Em: Joe Flacco, Ravens

While the Houston Texans secondary is much better than it was last season, beyond Jonathan Joseph, they are very beatable. Expect Joe Flacco to expose the weaknesses that the Texans still have.

Sit 'Em: Owen Daniels, Texans

Texans quarterback Matt Schaub usually loves to dump the ball off to his tight end Owen Daniels, but the Ravens linebacker group is better in coverage that the team has faced yet this season.

Sleeper: Anquan Boldin, Ravens

Jonathan Joseph is one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL, but odds are he will not be lined up on Boldin when he plays the slot. If the Ravens can get Boldin going early across the middle, it will be a long day for the Texans.

What They're Saying

The Houston Texans official twitter is reporting about the trade for Derrick Mason:

Ravens wide receiver Torrey Smith shares a fun fact on twitter:

Key Matchup: Ray Rice vs. Houston Front Seven

As it is every week, the key for the Baltimore Ravens will be getting running back Ray Rice going for the success of the offense. Without Mario Williams in the Texans front seven, there is a good chance that Ray Rice breaks loose with a huge game.

Prediction: Ravens 24, Texans 10
