Scouting report

BAL QB Joe Flacco - Week 11, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Dallas

Joe Flacco had a decent game against the Browns last week, with three touchdown passes and 296 yards. However, he also threw a pair of interceptions, and is now on pace for 16 picks this season, which would be the second-most in his career. Flacco and the Ravens offense has looked out of synch all year, and it’s hard to imagine him turning the corner at this point.

This week, Flacco faces a slightly below average Dallas pass defense. The Cowboys gave up over 400 yards to Ben Roethlisberger last week, but they dominated the game on the ground as they’ve done all season, which tends to lead to lower fantasy numbers at the QB position. Expect a grind-it-out performance from both teams, with limited fantasy value for Flacco outside of 2-QB leagues.

BAL QB Joe Flacco - Week 10, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Cleveland

Despite having the Ravens at 4-4 and in the thick of the AFC North race, Joe Flacco is not having a great season statistically. He’s only thrown more than one touchdown once this season, and has eclipsed 300 yards only twice. Flacco and the Ravens offense have been inconsistent at best, and if not for Mike Wallace taking a slant route 95 yards for a touchdown against the Steelers last week, Flacco would’ve been held to under 200 yards and a pick.

This week, things might get a bit better, however. Only the Falcons have allowed more touchdown passes than the Browns this year, and Flacco’s one multiple touchdown game this season came against Cleveland in Week 2. Flacco is far from a sure thing and is a risky start, but if you have bye week or injury/matchup issues, he’s not a bad streaming option for Thursday night.

BAL QB Joe Flacco - Week 9, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs. Pittsburgh

Joe Flacco has guided the Ravens to four straight losses, all against teams that should have been good matchups for him. In that span, he’s thrown a total of only two touchdown passes, and none over the past two games against the Giants and the Jets. Flacco’s inability to take advantage of good matchups and the fact that he’s only had one decent fantasy game this year – Week 2 against the Browns – make it hard to like him, even as a streaming option.

This week, Flacco faces the Steelers, who are allowing the seventh most passing yards per game this year. Still, it’s hard to trust him to deliver and fantasy owners should view him as a low-end QB2 option at best every week until he shows he can start to produce more.

BAL QB Joe Flacco - Week 7, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. New York Jets
Joe Flacco had 307 yards against the Giants last week. He hasn’t done a very good job of taking advantage of some nice matchups the past few weeks, with only two touchdowns passes in the past four games, despite facing the Jaguars, Raiders, Washington, and the Giants. Flacco hasn’t turned the ball over the past three weeks either, but he’s not putting up the kind of streaming numbers one would hope for.

This week, he has what looks like a nice matchup against the Jets, but it’s hard to trust him after recent outings to put up legit fantasy numbers. He’s not a bad desperation play or QB2 type of option, but most fantasy owners should look elsewhere if possible until we see Flacco demonstrate the ability to take advantage of these types of games.

BAL QB Joe Flacco - Week 6, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at New York Giants
Joe Flacco didn’t play great against Washington last week, putting up only 210 yards and a touchdown in a loss. Flacco was supposed to be a quality streaming option but failed to deliver in Week 5. He remains a QB2 option in most leagues week-to-week.

He’ll face the Giants this week, a team that gives up 262 passing yards per game, but has only allowed six passing touchdowns all season, tied for tenth in the league. Expect more pedestrian numbers from Flacco this week. He has limited upside and should only be used as a desperation start in most leagues.

BAL QB Joe Flacco - Week 5, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. Washington
Joe Flacco had a quality game against Oakland last week, putting up 298 yards and a touchdown through the air and adding another touchdown on the ground. Flacco is a solid bye-week filler each week, and while he couldn’t pull off the win against the Raiders, he has the Ravens off to a 3-1 start.

This week, Flacco has another good matchup. He faces a Washington pass defense that ranks in the bottom third of the league with 281 passing yards allowed per game so far this season. Expect borderline QB1 numbers from Flacco again this week, which makes him a nice high-floor security option for owners needing a streaming option.

BAL QB Joe Flacco - Week 4, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Oakland
Joe Flacco came away with a win last week against the Jaguars, but aside from running in a touchdown, he had a very disappointing game from a fantasy perspective. He threw for only 214 yards despite attempting 40 passes, and he had two interceptions and no touchdown passes. Flacco and the Ravens are still figuring things out on the offensive side of the ball, but they’re winning while they’re doing it.

Flacco is actually a pretty good streaming option this week. He faces a Raiders defense that ranks dead-last in passing yards allowed so far this season, and has allowed seven passing touchdowns through three weeks. Flacco isn’t an elite option by any means, but he should be good for borderline QB1 numbers in a nice matchup, making him a great bye week or injury replacement.
