Joe Flacco vs Oakland Raiders

The Ravens are 3-0. Really… I confirmed it with multiple sources just to be sure.

Flacco and the Ravens have played a VERY soft schedule to get to 3-0 though beating the Bills, Browns, and Jaguars who are a combined 1-8 in the first there weeks. The good matchups keep rolling for the Ravens, though, as they come home this week and take on the Raiders who have to travel across the country for an early start.

The Raiders are allowing the fourth-most fantasy points in the NFL to opposing QB even after giving up no passing TD’s and only 214 yards last week to Marcus Mariota. They were absolutely crushed by Drew Brees and Matt Ryan in the first two games of the season, and Flacco could make sense as a streaming option this week based on the good matchup.

It’s been an uneven start to the season for Flacco who didn’t throw a TD pass last week against th Jags, but still did enough to get the team the win including scoring a rushing TD of his own. He is a fringe option most weeks, but in this matchup I think he has enough upside to be the best waiver wire plug-and-play replacement for Aaron Rodgers or Carson Wentz (who are on bye-weeks in fantasy football week 4). He also makes a good QB2 start in all formats since he’s at home where he’s usually good in a great matchup.
