Mike Wallace has been a bright spot in a struggling Baltimore Ravens receiving unit the last few weeks. The Pro Bowl deep threat caught six passes for 89 yards in the win over the Cleveland Browns Sunday. The Ravens lost their No. 1 receiver, Jeremy Maclin, in the first quarter of the game. Wallace has at least three catches and 72 yards in each of the last three games. He has been held out of the end zone since Week 11, however. Wallace leads the Ravens receiving corps in targets, receptions, and yards this season.

Saturday the Ravens receivers face the Indianapolis Colts who happen to have one of the worst defenses in the league. The Colts give up the third-most receiving yards in the league. They are also in shambles, with injuries and inexperience plaguing the unit.
Fantasy impact: Wallace has a great opportunity at home against the Colts Saturday. Maclin may or may not play. That means an instant increase in targets. The Colts started a pair of rookies in Week 15 because they are so decimated by injuries. That is a sharp upside. Wallace is no sure bet. The Ravens’ run game can get really hot and give the passing game a day off. Regardless, Wallace has enough in his favor to try at flex for the fantasy finals.
