Ravens seek 4th win in 5 when they visit inconsistent Saints

The Baltimore Ravens seek to maintain their perch atop the AFC North and win for the fourth time in five games when they visit New Orleans in Week 9
NOVEMBER 3, 2022 • Associated Press
Leading tackler again Sunday Werner recorded 11 tackles (seven solo) and one pass defended during Sunday's 24-0 win against the Raiders.
Impact Werner logged his third double-digit tackle outing of the season and played all but one of the Saints' defensive snaps Week 8. The second-year linebacker has quickly emerged as one of the NFL's top tacklers after stepping into a starting role this season, and he now sits at 71 stops (52 solo), three passes defended and two forced fumbles over eight games in 2022. Werner should be in line for another productive outing during next Monday's game against the Ravens.

Gives steady performance Werner contributed eight tackles (six solo) and a pass defensed in the Saints' 20-10 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Impact Werner delivered another solid performance coming off his 13 tackle Week 1 effort. His 18 solo tackles now lead the league. The second-year pro moved into a full-time starting role this season and is proving early that he deserved it. If he is able to continue putting up these numbers he should be on the IDP radar of fantasy managers.
