Since the 2nd game of the season, Flacco has been tremendously consistent. In my league's scoring system, he has posted 20+ points eight games in a row and hasn't had a complete dud since week 2. That being said, the match-up against the Saints this week scares me a little bit. In our scoring system, the Saints are allowing just 14.75 fantasy points to opposing QBs - only the Chargers are allowing fewer QB points at 14.10 per game. My back-up is Henne but Kerry Collins is still available on the waiver wire and his match-up against the Texans is incredibly enticing. The Texans are allowing the most points to opposing QBs in our league at 27.70 per game. Still, it's Kerry Collins. Flacco has been my starter all season and this is a case where I don't want over-coaching to cost me a playoff win. I also start CJ, so that complicates things just a bit.
Don't want to turn this into a WDIS thread, but would love to hear some thoughts on what people are expecting from Flacco this week. He's usually not spectacular anyway, but is the Saints' secondary good enough to really negatively impact Flacco's shot at 250 yards and 1-2 TDs? O/U in the Saints-Raven is 43.5 compared to 47.5 in the Texans-Titans. I see that Dodds doesn't like Flacco at all this week, as he's ranked lower than he has been all season - lower than some very mediocre QBs. I try not to put too much stock into rankings, but seeing Flacco that low is a bit disconcerting and puts even more doubt into my head. Oh man, I really don't want to overthink/overcoach in this spot.
