Just to preface this post -- I think the Ravens are in for a much tougher game this week than most people are willing to admit. Their defense is not as dominant or aggressive as it used to be and will be without Chris McAllister and Trevor Pryce, who's been out since he suffered a broken wrist in Week 2. On offense, they only have six touchdowns this season, have struggled painfully to find any sort of consistency and are starting the league's youngest offensive line. That last note might be the most crucial, since the Buffalo Bills' strength on defense is their front four. The Ravens lost at Cincinnati, got trashed in Cleveland, and barely squeaked by the Trent Dilfer-led San Francisco 49ers in the Bay Area -- no road game is a given for this team right now.

Kyle Boller, QB (BAL): Boller will get his first road start in two seasons and if his home stats are any indication, there isn't much to get excited about here -- even against a feeble Buffalo Bills defense. This offense just hasn't run smoothly all season long and Boller clearly is not anything but an emergency solution -- in fantasy or reality. He's averaged 185 yards passing in two home starts against the New York Jets and St. Louis Rams -- two teams that have combined for one win this season-- so don't hold your breath for stellar production in Buffalo.

Willis McGahee, RB (BAL): Sure, there is the side story of McGahee's return to Buffalo, but that is an overrated angle. McGahee is averaging about 85 yards-per-game on the ground and only has two runs of 20 yards or longer, which is not the type of explosive weapon the Ravens thought they were getting. It's not his fault, though, he's been one of the Ravens' better weapons. You can expect the Bills to be on him -- they will try to do everything in their power to force the Ravens to win this game through the air.

Derrick Mason, WR (BAL): Mason still leads the league in receptions (49) but his paltry 9.2 yards-per-catch doesn't help you much unless you are in a point-per-reception league. He's not an explosive weapon but obviously both quarterbacks feel comfortable looking to him on a consistent basis.

Mark Clayton, WR (BAL): Three receptions for 23 yards is all that Clayton had to show after facing the Rams secondary last week. Surprisingly, though, those three catches double his total on the year. If he is on your bench, the waiver wire is looking like a more suitable home.

Demetrius Williams, WR (BAL): He's shown flashes of potential but with zero touchdowns and no more than 63 yards in any game, Williams should still be on the waiver wire. Like Clayton, it's difficult to see his value improving unless there is better play at the quarterback position.

Todd Heap, TE (BAL): Heap is dealing with a hamstring injury and is unlikely to play in Week 7. Along with the rest of the passing offense, Heap has been a disappointment.

Ravens Defense: The Ravens have only 13 sacks this year after averaging 3.75-per-game last year. They have the league's fourth-ranked defense overall, and the eighth-ranked scoring defense, which is a little lower than what we have come to expect from them, particularly against such an easy early schedule. They still have 13 takeaways, which is second-best in the league but that might be more of a testament to opponents' mistakes, rather than turnovers they've forced.
