Joe Flacco, Baltimore Ravens, $7,500

Stats: 2,259 passing yards, 12 touchdowns 

Yea that’s right Joe Flacco! Know why? He’s playing the Pittsburgh Steelers at home in Week 9. Here’s another tidbit y’all probably forgot about. In Week 4 at Pittsburgh, Flacco threw for 363 yards and two scores. This man has historically played great against the Steelers. What’s stopping him from doing it again in front of his home crowd?

Flacco has been reliable for streaming purposes in the right matchups this season. His lowest output this season was in Carolina this past weekend. Flacco threw for only 192 passing yards and a touchdown, adding two interceptions. But against the Steelers the Baltimore Ravens come out to play. Never ceases to amaze me that more often than not this group gets up for this big rivalry game.

No matter how bad either teams record is, this game is usually a fun one to watch. Keep your eyes peeled because Flacco loves beating the Steelers. They will also want to have a good showing at home after a disastrous loss to the Panthers in Week 8. This Baltimore defense was supposed to put up more of a fight. They looked lost and out of position all game long.

Expect a comeback week for not only Flacco and the offense, but for the Ravens No.1 ranked defense as well. Don’t count these birds out just yet. The Steelers are allowing 359 yards per game to opposing offenses. Flacco and this dangerous Ravens offense will look to clamp down on the Steelers 24th-ranked defense against the pass this Sunday.

Prediction: 300 passing yards, 3 touchdowns
