The Baltimore Ravens will look to Mike Wallace to fill in the void left by Jeremy Maclin in the passing game again in Week 17. Maclin missed the Ravens win over the Indianapolis Colts Sunday with a knee injury. Wallace was not much of factor in the contest. He caught four passes on six targets for 60 yards in a rainy and windy matchup. The Ravens passing game was limited due to the inclement weather.

Maclin remains questionable to play in the final game of the season. The Ravens must win as they are fighting to hold onto one of the AFC wild card spots. Unfortunately, Wallace will not have the easiest matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 17. The Bengals have held receivers to the fourth-fewest yards in the league this season. Wallace was a ghost versus the Bengals in Week 1. He caught one catch for eight yards in the Ravens win.
Fantasy impact: There is a lot on the line for the Ravens in this game. Wallace should have a much better outing against the Bengals Sunday than he did in Week 1 given the stakes. It will not be an easy matchup, though. Wallace still has flex appeal with upside for the final game of the season.
