8 Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 7
Joe Flacco, QB, Baltimore Ravens
Joe Flacco has been a downright serviceable fantasy option this year. He hasn't been especially consistent, and sits at QB18 in fantasy scoring, but he has topped 20 fantasy points twice, with another two 15-plus fantasy point games to his name. His last two outings have been his worst, and that has him available on the waiver wire in most leagues.
It's not just his fantasy football play that has been much improved this season, as his 0.14 Passing Net Expected Points (NEP) per drop back are on pace to be his most since 2014, as well as the second-most of his career.
He should have little trouble bouncing back from those down games this week against New Orleans. The Saints are one of only three teams allowing north of 25 fantasy points per game to the quarterback position, and numberFire's models have them as our 29th-ranked pass defense.
