BAL QB Matt Schaub - Week 14, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. Seattle

Matt Schaub had 308 yards and a touchdown last week, but he also threw a pair of interceptions in a loss to the Dolphins. Baltimore has struggled all year and is limping toward the finish line with backups at nearly every key offensive position. Schaub has looked serviceable, but a victory over the Browns and a loss to the Dolphins doesn’t have Ravens fans encouraged.

This week, Schaub will have a tall task in front of him as he faces one of the league’s best pass defenses. The Seahawks destroyed the Vikings last week and are tied with the Broncos for the least amount of passing touchdowns allowed this year with only 11. Schaub will likely need to throw the ball, but fantasy owners should look elsewhere if possible in a tough matchup.

Update:

Schaub will miss this week's game with an injury, fantasy owners shouldn't have been starting him anyway, but if he was in your lineup, be sure to get him out.

BAL QB Matt Schaub - Week 13, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at Miami

Matt Schaub had an uneven performance in his first start in about two seasons. He finished the game with 232 yards and a pair of touchdowns, but he also had two pretty back picks, including one returned for a touchdown, and the Ravens needs some special teams trickery to eke out the win.

This week, Schaub gets to play a vulnerable Dolphins pass defense that ranks 25th in the league with 7.9 yards allowed per pass attempt to opposing quarterbacks. While the matchup is great, and there’s some upside there, it’s best to take a wait and see approach with the veteran Schaub as he continues to re-acclimate himself to the world of starting in at quarterback in the NFL. Fantasy owners should beware.

BAL QB Matt Schaub - Week 12, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Cleveland

Matt Schaub has played the backup role all season in Baltimore, but with Joe Flacco tearing his ACL and possibly his MCL, it’ll be up to Schaub to try and salvage what’s left of the Ravens disappointing 2015 season.

He has a nice matchup this week against the Browns, who have allowed 21 touchdown passes so far this year, more than anyone other than New Orleans and Tampa Bay. The Browns rank in the bottom third of the league in nearly every significant pass defense category, which might make things easier for the veteran Schaub. How much the rust is on the 34 year old former Texan remains to be seen, and makes him a risky starter. The upside is there with the matchup, but fantasy owners should take a wait and see approach with him if possible.

OAK QB Matt Schaub - 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

From 2007-2012, Matt Schaub generally performed well as the starting quarterback for the Houston Texans. Although Schaub would never be considered a superstar, he was part of the most prosperous era in Houston’s relatively short history, as the team had just one losing season with Schaub at the helm. He also helped fantasy owners along the way, throwing for 4,770 yards and 29 touchdowns in 2009. But it all unraveled in 2013, as Schaub turned into the conductor of the Pick Six Symphony and the Texans moved on by orchestrating a trade with Oakland. Can a change in scenery from the Bayou City to the East Bay bring Schaub back to life?

Fantasy Upside
Schaub will no longer have Andre Johnson as an ally, but Oakland has talent out wide with emerging Andre Holmes, steady Rod Streater, and veteran James Jones, an import from the Green Bay Packers. Marcel Reece, Maurice Jones-Drew, and Darren McFadden are all capable receivers out of the backfield. All in all, even if Oakland lacks a superstar, there are worse supporting casts out there. His new home could work wonders for his psyche, as fans in Houston loathed him during his final days with the Texans.

Fantasy Downside
Oakland let their best tackle, Jared Veldheer, leave for Arizona in free agency. That ensures they will likely have a below-average line. The Raiders have a schedule made for a masochist. They play at Seattle, at New England, at St. Louis, and host Arizona and their neighbors from San Francisco. Plus, all three of their AFC West rivals made the playoffs last year. They also have to endure a grueling trip to London to play Miami. With so many daunting teams on the docket, how is the already skittish Schaub going to turn things around? Oakland drafted Derek Carr in the second round and will probably move him into the lineup at some point.

Bottom Line
Essentially, you should view Schaub as the last of last resorts for your fantasy team, even if you are in a mandatory two-quarterback league. He has underwhelmed so far in the preseason and his best days appear to be long gone.
