The upcoming clash between the Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens in Week 18 is set to be a significant matchup for both teams, with the Ravens aiming for the AFC North title and the Browns playing for pride. The Ravens are heavily favored, with a spread of 17.5 points, and their key players are highlighted for fantasy football considerations. Wide receivers Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman are expected to excel against a struggling Browns secondary, while quarterback Lamar Jackson remains a must-start option.

On the other hand, the Browns face challenges, particularly with quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson, who has struggled in his two starts. With Bailey Zappe expected to start, both quarterbacks are likely to be avoided in fantasy leagues. Running back D'Onta Foreman is also not recommended due to the Ravens' strong run defense. Despite Cleveland’s defensive capabilities, Derrick Henry is still projected as a strong RB1 option. Players like Jerry Jeudy and Mark Andrews are also worth considering for fantasy lineups, with Andrews being a reliable tight end choice.
