Ravens vs. Saints: 10 key individual matchups to watch for Week 2

The Ravens and Saints will clash on Week 2, with several key individual matchups shaping the outcome. Nate Wiggins will face Chris Olave, with Wiggins having allowed no receptions on two targets in his debut. Meanwhile, Marlon Humphrey will contest New Orleans' slot targets, having forced and recovered a fumble from Jonathan Taylor.

Baltimore's Kyle Hamilton will test Tyler Shough, who helped New Orleans recover from a 21-point deficit earlier in the week. Travis Etienne Jr. and Alvin Kamara pose a challenge for Roquan Smith, who must read screens and option routes effectively. Derrick Henry's 144-yard, 3-TD performance against Indianapolis will require strong play from Kaden Elliss and Pete Werner.

Lamar Jackson will test the Saints' edge defenders in a game of pressure and containment. Ronnie Stanley's health will impact Baltimore's interior line, while Davon Godchaux must handle John Simpson's absence. Finally, Zay Flowers' availability will determine how the Saints defend against Baltimore's receivers, with Devontez Walker stepping in if necessary.

The Ravens' most significant advantage appears to be the Jackson-Henry duo, who could prove challenging for New Orleans' defense to contain.
