Joe Flacco (BAL)
Against the lowly Buffalo Bills, Joe Flacco had a great game for fantasy purposes. In standard 6-point per passing TD leagues, Flacco put up 21 points with 236 yards and 3 TDs. He likely could have done more, but it just wasn’t needed as the Buffalo offense could do nothing against the Baltimore D.
In Week 2, Flacco faces a Cincinnati Bengals defense that just gave up 319 yards and 2 TDs to the Indianapolis Colts and the return of Andrew Luck. While Luck is a more talented QB than Flacco at this point in their respective careers, it was Luck’s first game in over a year, so there was likely a bit of rust on Luck’s arm. A rust-free Flacco likely isn’t too far off from a returning, rusty Luck.
And the Bengals offense is significantly better than the Bills. If the Bengals are able to stay in the game a little longer than the Bills, the Ravens could be forced to keep their foot on the gas. At only 6.7% owned, Flacco is widely available to stream in Week 2.
