Ravens at Colts: Full-PPR Start/Sit

The PPR shape

Lamar Jackson is an automatic start. Baltimore can score through designed quarterback runs, Derrick Henry's early-down work, or intermediate targets to Zay Flowers and Mark Andrews. That creates multiple touchdown paths without requiring a pass-heavy script. Henry is an RB1 even in PPR, Flowers is a WR2 with a strong catch floor, and Andrews is a standard TE1. Flowers was cleared and carries no final game designation.

Indianapolis is narrower. Jonathan Taylor remains an RB1 because both volume and scoring work belong to him. Tyler Warren should be started at tight end. Josh Downs is the Colts receiver most naturally helped by full PPR scoring because his value can survive on underneath volume. He is a flex with WR3 utility. Alec Pierce was cleared after surgery but was limited throughout the week. His game depends more on full-speed routes and high-value downfield targets than easy catches, so the risk is concentrated in exactly the part of his profile fantasy managers need.

Daniel Jones is a superflex option. In one-quarterback leagues, the Ravens defense and uncertain passing ceiling make him unnecessary.

Best start: Lamar Jackson. He has the highest independent scoring floor in the matchup.

Most important sit: Alec Pierce. If you need a receiver, favor the healthy player with stable routes and shorter targets.

Lineup pivot: Pierce can be used as an upside WR4 if pregame reports remove workload concerns. Downs remains the safer PPR choice.
