He finished the day completing 22 of his 33 passes for 258 yards and one touchdown. For Week 2, Flacco gets to face a Cleveland Browns defense that allowed the fourth most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks in standard leagues in 2015.
Fantasy Impact: After the Browns’ defense allowed Philadelphia Eagles rookie quarterback Carson Wentz to throw for 278 yards and two touchdowns a week ago, there is no reason to think that Flacco cannot have a similar, or better, performance on Sunday.
Yahoo! projects the Ravens’ quarterback to have a pretty decent day this week against Cleveland, throwing for 260 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. Despite these projections, Flacco would surprise absolutely no one if he had a monster game and passed for at least 300 yards on Sunday.
