Joe Flacco, QB, Baltimore Ravens
Yahoo Ownership: 18%
It may come as a bit of a surprise considering the way the season started, but Joe Flacco has looked like a downright competent fantasy producer over the last three weeks. In that span, he's posted 18.7, 16.7 and 21.8 fantasy points -- his three best fantasy outputs of the season.
Flacco has thrown for 826 yards with 5 touchdowns and only 1 interception in those games, also adding 1 score with his feet.
We touched on the Colts' struggles against the pass earlier when talking about Mike Wallace, and this is also a great spot for Flacco. As a reminder, our numbers have the Colts as the worst pass defense in the NFL, and they also came into Week 15 allowing the most total passing yards, most net yards per pass attempt and fifth-most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks.
The Ravens will be comfortable favorites this one, and early betting lines suggest some more offensive success on their part, with their implied total sitting at 27.5.
