Following an explosive breakout performance against the St. Louis Rams, Baltimore Ravens rookie wide receiver Torrey Smith will get a second straight start against the New York Jets this Sunday. Wide receiver Lee Evans has been dealing with an ankle injury and coach John Harbaugh ruled him out for Sunday’s game, which gets Smith into the lineup one more time.

Smith blew up in the first quarter of the Ravens win over the Rams, hauling in receiving 133 yards and three touchdowns. He was quiet much of remainder of the game, but the impact was felt. And naturally that made him a huge pickup on fantasy football waiver wires. Along with Nate Washington and Victor Cruz, Smith was the guy everybody wanted this week.

The Ravens have a bye after this Sunday’s game, which should give Evans plenty of time to get healthy. If Smith comes back to earth with his performance on Sunday, it will be interesting to see whether he remains in the starting lineup, Lee Evans goes back in, or they move more towards some kind of rotation.

Rookie receiver Denarius Moore had a strong day against the Jets secondary last week so it might be worth a flex play if you picked up Torrey Smith this week.

Sunday night!!  National television audience watching.  The Baltimore Ravens will wear their all black uniforms when they host the New York Jets.  This is an interesting matchup to me because there are some deja vu aspects to it that reminds me of the week before the game against the Tennessee Titans.  The Titans had come off a game against the Jacksonville Jaguars where they got run all over so the assumption was the Ravens would do the same.  Well the Jets are coming off a game against the Oakland Raiders where Darren McFadden ran all over them.  I also don’t like the matchup of the Ravens secondary going against Ravens killer Santonio Holmes and the Jets receivers.  That being said I do thing the Ravens will get pressure on Mark Sanchez, the crowd will be in a lather and the Ravens will win 24-20

The New York Jets and Baltimore Ravens
clash in Week Four of the National Football League (NFL) season
and while the teams have much in common there is a sense of
rivalry fired by Jets head coach, and former Raven, Rex Ryan.

Both teams are 2-1 this season, have been regulars in the
American Football Conference (AFC) playoffs in recent years but
neither has made the Super Bowl since the Ravens triumph
following the 2000 season.

Each have outstanding players on defense – Ed Reed and Ray
Lewis for Baltimore, Darrelle Revis for the Jets – but have
some lingering question marks over their quarterbacks.

Ravens quarterback, 26-year-old Joe Flacco, and New York’s
Mark Sanchez, two years his junior, have both proven to be
worthy of their high ranking in the draft but neither have
sealed their status by taking their team to the biggest game.

But it is on the sidelines where the tension between the
two teams can be felt.

Ryan spent 10 years with the Ravens, ending as defensive
co-ordinator, and it still rankles that current Ravens coach
John Harbaugh pipped him to the top job at the club.

Although Ryan’s Jets lost to the Ravens last year he
believes he has proven his worth in New York and also feels the
need to spell that out.

“We have not beat them since I’ve been here, that’s for
sure, but the fact of the matter is, we all said we were going
to meet in the AFC championship game. Now, we haven’t won the
AFC championship game, but we’ve got there two years in a row.
The Ravens haven’t. So you can throw that one right back at
them as well,” Ryan said earlier this week.

“I’ve gone to the playoffs every year, and I’ve gone to the
championship game every year since I’ve been here as well. But
who cares? This is what it is. They know I did a great job
there for 10 years.”

It should be a gripping encounter in Baltimore on Sunday
that will conclude a day which is expected to offer some tests
for the NFL’s three undefeated teams.

The Buffalo Bills are the most surprising team at 3-0 and
they will fancy their chances of extending their winning start
to the season when they visit the Cincinnati Bengals (1-2).

The Detroit Lions (3-0) take on a Dallas Cowboys team that
were boosted by their victory over the Washington Redskins on
Monday while the Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers will
expect a fourth victory at Denver.

The New England Patriots, who suffered a shock defeat to
Buffalo last week, face another tricky test on the road against
an Oakland Raiders (2-1) team that is showing signs of being a
playoff threat this season.

The Raiders have gone eight seasons without a winning
record and will test the Patriots defense against the run in
the first game between the two teams in three years.

Michael Vick’s rather bruising season for the Philadelphia
Eagles (1-2) should continue at home to the San Francisco 49ers
if he recovers from a hand injury in time.

The Eagles are smarting from their defeat to the New York
Giants and desperate to avoid a third straight loss while the
49ers (2-1) are looking for another road win after last week’s
13-8 win at Cincinnati.
