6. Can the Baltimore Ravens contain Ja'Marr Chase?

The Baltimore Ravens are going to have a tough time defending Ja'Marr Chase this week. To be fair, they have yet to hold him under 50 yards in a game during his career. However, in all of those games, you actually saw Marlon Humphrey active. Humphrey is not going to play this week, and now we are wondering if week three will be his return.

This leaves the team with Ronald Darby, Rock Ya-Sin, and Brandon Stephens. Darby is coming back from a season-ending injury last year, and Ya-Sin has missed the entire preseason due to injury. That is why Ya-Sin was eased in but did start to cut into the snap count of Darby. Still, Darby may be their best cornerback. Either way, none of them can stick with Chase if Humphrey has struggled to do this.

Beyond that, the Ravens will be wondering if Tee Higgins ends up burning them as well. This is as questionable as the Ravens' secondary has been when you add in Geno Stone starting over Marcus Williams. Joe Burrow has always found Chase against the Ravens. Will it happen again?
