Fantasy Impact: The Ravens' no-huddle offense couldn't find traction against the Eagles like it did against the Bengals, resulting in a ho-hum performance for Flacco. This week he faces what was a bad New England Patriots secondary last season. That secondary has been a little better through two games in 2012, albeit against Jake Locker and Kevin Kolb. Still, it's probably best to consider Flacco among the lower tier of potential starting options in standard leagues until he can put together a string of good performances.
