Bleacher Nation Fantasy Plays โ In Week 10 of the 2024 NFL Season, the Cincinnati Bengals and Baltimore Ravens will clash on Thursday Night Football. The Bengals (4-5) are desperate for a win to keep their playoff hopes alive, while the Ravens (6-3) will look to gain ground on the AFC North-leading Pittsburgh Steelers (6-2). With that in mind, we have a couple of good spots to target in our Bleacher Nation Fantasy Plays.
Every Thursday Night Football, I’ll break down my favorite Bleacher Nation Fantasy Plays for that night’s game.
What’s Bleacher Nation Fantasy?
Bleacher Nation Fantasy is the newest real-money fantasy game on the market, and also the easiest for players to win real money! Last Thursday, players won at over an 80% clip. And now, they have both NFL and NBA contests to play. Their main game mode, Rivals, is all matchup-based, which is what we’ll focus on here. And the best part? It’s extremely simple. Without parlaying anything at all, you can choose who will have more receiving yards between Ja’Marr Chase or Zay Flowers (plus 60-80 other matchups just like that!)
So without further ado, let’s dive into my favorite picks at Bleacher Nation Fantasy in what should be a high-scoring matchup, as reflected by the 53-point game total.

Bleacher Nation Fantasy Plays: Thursday Night Football
Bleacher Nation Fantasy is a new game available in 30+ states! Make sure to hop in the action for Thursday night football.
Lamar Jackson +7 rushing yards vs Chase Brown
Chase Brown had a spike week against the Raiders in his first game without Zack Moss, rushing for 120 yards on 27 carries. However, Brown is in a much tougher spot against the Ravens in Week 10.
Baltimore ranks 3rd in Rush EPA, allowing only 3.23 yards per carry (2nd) this season.
Cincinnati is also six-point underdogs, which means that there’s a good chance that they’ll be playing from behind, meaning less rushing volume for Brown as Joe Burrow airs it out to keep pace with the Ravens.
There’s even a chance that newly acquired Khalil Herbert will be able to suit up for this game. If that happens, Herbert could take away a few carries from Brown.
Even if Herbert doesn’t play, I love this pick because we’re getting +7 rushing yards with Lamar Jackson.
The Ravens’ dynamic quarterback has rushed for 50+ yards in six consecutive matchups vs the Bengals.
Cincinnati ranks 30th in Rush EPA, so Lamar should have plenty of opportunities to rack up chunk yardage on the ground.
For these reasons, I have to go with Lamar Jackson +7 rushing yards vs Chase Brown in this Rivals matchup on Bleacher Nation Fantasy.
Zay Flowers +21 Receiving Yards vs Ja’Marr Chase
Ja’Marr Chase is set up for a big game against a pass-funnel defense (29th in Pass EPA, 3rd in Rush EPA). The star wideout should see more targets with Tee Higgins likely out for this game.
The last time that Chase faced the Ravens, he put up 193 yards, including a 70-yard touchdown.
With that said, I like taking Zay Flowers +21 receiving yards because the Ravens’ receiver has been torching opposing secondaries of late.
Flowers has put up at least 100 receiving yards in four of his last five games, including 111 yards against the Bengals.
I’m banking that the Ravens will keep Chase more in check than last time, while Flowers should continue to get loose downfield.
Simply put, I can’t pass up on such a large margin (+21 receiving yards) on one of the hottest wideouts in football right now.
