The Cleveland Browns (0-1) and Baltimore Ravens (0-1) square off Sunday at M&T Bank Stadium in what already feels like a pivotal AFC North showdown.
Baltimore’s season began with heartbreak on the road against Buffalo. The Ravens built a comfortable lead but collapsed late, getting outscored 22-6 in the fourth quarter and falling in a 41-40 thriller.
Cleveland didn’t have much better luck in its opener. The Browns went into halftime trailing Cincinnati 14-10, chipped away with six points in the third, but ultimately came up just short in a crushing 17-16 loss to their division rival.

Cleveland Browns vs Baltimore Ravens roster & injury news
Cleveland Browns team news
The Cleveland Browns leaned heavily on veteran quarterback Joe Flacco in their season opener against Cincinnati, but it was a mixed bag. Flacco went 31-of-45 for 290 yards and a touchdown, though his two interceptions proved costly.
The run game never got out of first gear, with Dylan Sampson managing only 29 yards on 12 carries. Through the air, Jerry Jeudy was the brightest spark, reeling in five catches for 66 yards. Up front, the Browns had a scare when right tackle Jack Conklin left in the second quarter with an eye injury and couldn’t return.
After the game, Joel Bitonio explained that Conklin couldn’t even open his eye, but Kevin Stefanski later confirmed the tackle was improving and that it was the only injury of note from Week 1. In Conklin’s absence, Cornelius Lucas stepped in at right tackle and drew praise from center Ethan Pocic for holding his own. On the injury front, Mike Hall Jr. is questionable, Conklin’s status is up in the air, while Quinshon Judkins sits on reserve and Winston Reid and Cade McDonald remain out.

Baltimore Ravens team news
For the Baltimore Ravens, their dynamic backfield duo wasted no time making an impact. Lamar Jackson was efficient through the air, completing 14 of 19 passes for 209 yards and two touchdowns, while also rushing for 70 yards and another score.
His partner in crime, Derrick Henry, looked vintage with 169 rushing yards, including a pair of long touchdown bursts, one of which gave Baltimore a 40-25 cushion at one point. After holding Cincinnati to just two yards per carry, Cleveland’s defense will face a far sterner test against Jackson’s dual-threat ability and Henry’s bruising style.
Coming off a career-best year as a passer, where he topped 4,000 yards with just four interceptions, Jackson is as dangerous as ever. Baltimore’s injury list includes Patrick Ricard and Isaiah Likely, who are questionable, while Ar’Darius Washington is on the PUP list and Emery Jones Jr. and Adisa Isaac are unavailable.
| Position | Players |
|---|---|
| Offense | Lamar Jackson, Cooper Rush (QB); Rasheen Ali, Derrick Henry, Justice Hill, Keaton Mitchell (RB); Patrick Ricard (FB); Rashod Bateman, Zay Flowers, DeAndre Hopkins, Devontez Walker, Tylan Wallace, LaJohntay Wester (WR); Mark Andrews, Charlie Kolar, Isaiah Likely (TE); Corey Bullock, Tyler Linderbaum (C); Ben Cleveland, Daniel Faalele, Andrew Vorhees (G); Joseph Noteboom, Roger Rosengarten, Ronnie Stanley, Carson Vinson (OT) |
| Defense | John Jenkins, Travis Jones, Nnamdi Madubuike, Aeneas Peebles, Broderick Washington Jr. (DT); Teddye Buchanan, Mike Green, Jay Higgins IV, Jake Hummel, David Ojabo, Odafe Oweh, Tavius Robinson, Trenton Simpson, Roquan Smith, Kyle Van Noy (LB); Jaire Alexander, Chidobe Awuzie, Marlon Humphrey, Keyon Martin, T.J. Tampa, Nate Wiggins (CB); Kyle Hamilton, Sanoussi Kane, Reuben Lowery III, Malaki Starks (S) |
| Special Teams | Tyler Loop (PK); Jordan Stout (P); Nick Moore (LS) |

Browns vs Ravens Fantasy Football
Lamar Jackson (22.5 projected fpts) continues to be a fantasy manager’s dream, slotting in as a premier QB1 after lighting up Week 1 with 209 passing yards, two scores through the air, and another 70 yards plus a touchdown with his legs. Even against tight man coverage and constant blitzes, he carved up defenses with ease, reaffirming his elite fantasy status. Derrick Henry (16.9 projected fpts) also stands tall as a top-10 RB option, with his bruising workload making him a must-start in what should be a hard-fought AFC North clash.
On the Cleveland side, Joe Flacco (15.3 projected fpts) remains more of a back-end QB2, leaning heavily on volume after throwing 45 passes for 290 yards in Week 1 but turning in just 12.2 fantasy points overall. The bright spot was Harold Fannin Jr. (4.8 fpts), who is emerging as a go-to target and profiles as a low-end WR3 or flex option with upside if he keeps seeing opportunities. David Njoku (5.7 fpts) is still a dangerous red-zone presence and a worthwhile fantasy start at tight end. The Browns’ running back rotation is murkier, but worth monitoring for anyone looking to plug a flex spot.
Fantasy Football Takeaways:
- Jackson and Henry are your locked-in studs for Baltimore.
- Flacco is a risky but usable QB2 if you’re chasing passing volume.
- Keep an eye on Fannin Jr. and Njoku for potential production, and tread carefully with Cleveland’s backfield.
- As for the Ravens’ defense, it’s better left on the bench this week against a Browns offense capable of moving the chains
Browns vs Ravens Game Predictions
On paper, this feels like a matchup tailor-made for the Baltimore Ravens to impose their will on the Cleveland Browns. Yet if there's one thing John Harbaugh's squad has mastered over the years, it’s making life harder than it needs to be, often turning straightforward wins into nail-biters. Case in point: last season's 29-24 slip-up in Week 8, when Cleveland stunned them late.
Even so, the Ravens enter this clash as clear favorites. A double-digit win feels likely, with a couple of Joe Flacco interceptions helping tilt the balance, though the scoreline may suggest a tighter contest than the talent gap truly shows.
The oddsmakers back that narrative, too. ESPN's analytics give Baltimore an 80.5% chance of taking care of business on Sunday, leaving the Browns with just a 19.3% shot at the upset, and only a razor-thin sliver left for a potential tie.
