Joe Flacco once again failed to gain 200 total yards for the Baltimore Ravens in the Week 12 win over the Houston Texans. Flacco completed 20 passes on 32 attempts for 141 yards. He also carried the ball six times for 42 yards in the contest. Flacco did not have a touchdown or a turnover in the win Monday night. It was his first game without a score since Week 6. Flacco only has one game with more than 200 total yards in the last six Ravens’ outings.

Sunday, Flacco draws another soft defense in the Detroit Lions. The Lions have allowed the 10th-most passing yards to QBs this season. They do not allow a lot of scores to the position, however, giving up just 14 touchdowns through the air so far. The Lions are stingy as well with 11 interceptions, tied for fifth-most in the NFL.
Fantasy impact: Flacco is essentially irrelevant in fantasy this season. He only has four games with over 200 passing yards. The Ravens favor the run over the pass and Flacco has been timid when he does throw, relying on the checkdown pass too much. The 10-year play caller has not faced a top-15 passing defense in the last four games. Detroit is not great either, ranking No. 22 as a pass defense. Flacco is just too bad to even consider starting.
