BAL QB Joe Flacco - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at Carolina Panthers

Joe Flacco threw for 279 yards and a pair of touchdowns against the Saints last week. Those aren’t bad numbers, but in the modern NFL, Flacco should’ve been able to put up more against the vulnerable New Orleans defense. Flacco is still enjoying an impressive TD/Int ratio of 2.75, the best of his career. He’s also on pace for a career-high 4,725 yards.

This week, Flacco faces a Panthers defense that has been very average against the pass this year. His history as an inconsistent fantasy option works against him when it isn’t a spectacular matchup, making it hard to trust him in most weeks. Still, his pace and production with his new weapons make him an interesting bye-week filler or second quarterback option in most leagues.

BAL QB Joe Flacco - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. New Orleans Saints

Joe Flacco was quiet last week in a shut-out victory over the Titans. He threw for 238 yards, a touchdown, and a pick as he handed the ball off 30 times to the Ravens’ trio of running backs. Flacco is currently averaging 298 passing yards per game, which would be a career high for him, and he’s on pace for 24 touchdown passes, which would be third-most in his career. He’s not a great starter, but a decent fallback option and backup from time to time.

Only the Buccaneers and the Falcons have allowed more fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks than the Saints this season, and Flacco should be forced to throw the ball against the Saints’ prolific offense. Fantasy owners should consider Flacco a strong streaming option this week with a great matchup.

BAL QB Joe Flacco - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at Tennessee Titans

Joe Flacco and the entire Ravens offense struggled against the Browns last week in a defensive struggle. Flacco ended up with 298 yards and an interception in a disappointing loss. The Ravens will need to take care of business against lesser teams in the future if they expect to win the division and make some noise in the playoffs. This week, Flacco faces a tough Titans defense that has allowed the third-least points per game to opposing teams this year. Look elsewhere for streaming options.

BAL QB Joe Flacco - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Cleveland Browns

Joe Flacco continued his productive play last Sunday night against the Steelers, throwing for 363 yards and a pair of touchdowns in a huge victory. Flacco is averaging 313 yards per game and has eight touchdowns compared to only two interceptions. He’s on pace for 5,008 yards and 32 touchdowns, which would be career-highs in both categories.

This week, Flacco faces a Browns defense that ranks 11th in fantasy points allowed per game to the quarterback position this year. Flacco should be able to find some room against a young, emerging secondary, and if you’re in a two-quarterback league or in need of a streaming option, Flacco could be worth considering as a quick rental.

BAL QB Joe Flacco - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Pittsburgh Steelers

Joe Flacco only threw one touchdown pass last week in a win over the Broncos, but he’s currently off to a great start to the season. It’s still very early, but he’s on pace for 32 touchdowns and over 4,700 yards this season, both of which would be career-highs. Flacco is unlikely to keep up that kind of pace, but it’s encouraging to see after a dismal season a year ago.

Typically, all bets are off when the Steelers and Ravens play, but the Pittsburgh pass defense has been a sieve so far this season, giving Flacco some streaming upside. Only the Saints and Chiefs have allowed more fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks this year. Flacco has some value in fantasy leagues that require two quarterbacks, and for owners needing a filler for Jimmy Garoppolo or Cam Newton.

BAL QB Joe Flacco - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. Denver Broncos

Joe Flacco struggled in the first quarter against the Bengals on Thursday night, but playing from behind all game turned into 55 passing attempts for 376 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He also threw two picks and looked wildly out of position on select gadget plays featuring rookie Lamar Jackson behind center.

This week Flacco may struggle against a dominant Broncos pass rush. Von Miller is a monster, and the Ravens' offensive line will need to do a better job of protection against the Broncos' front seven than they did against the Bengals, especially on the interior. Expect a low-scoring, more even matchup, making Flacco’s numbers look average-to-below-average. He should stay on the bench this week.

BAL QB Joe Flacco - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Cincinnati Bengals

Joe Flacco looked on point and in sync with his new offensive weapons last week, throwing for 236 yards and three touchdowns in a complete decimation of the Bills. Flacco threw for two touchdowns in the first half and led the Ravens on three additional scoring drives, showing the potential to be a streaming option down the line.

This week, Flacco will face a Bengals defense that gave up 319 yards and a pair of touchdowns to Andrew Luck last week. Their defense looks vulnerable on the back end. Flacco has some low-end streaming value in 2QB leagues, but his history is too volatile to trust in most formats. He should be left on waivers for now.
