New England Patriots 10-4 at Baltimore Ravens 7-6
Play ‘Em If You Got ‘Em
No Must Starts this week for Baltimore.
Gut Calls
Torrey Smith
#19 Ranked WR
Smith is a scary play and if you Bench him we don’t blame you. Smith had another bad performance last week. Some might be into 6.9 fantasy points from your starting WR, but we would disagree. Smith had the team’s high in targets but we like completions. The positive thing is that Flacco is trying to get him the ball and for a lot of yards but he has to get open and more importantly Flacco has to throw well enough for Smith to catch those passes. New England gives up the 14th fewest fantasy points to WRs.
Dennis Pitta
#11 Ranked TE
Pitta is hot right now. People are ranking him very high for only playing in two games this year. Sure, he caught six passes for 48 yards and a TD his first week back, but last week he only caught 2 passes for 24 yards. If you did not take a TE early in your draft and didn’t pay attention to match-ups maybe you can roll the dice with Pitta. New England gives up the 14th most fantasy points to TEs.
Bench Warmers
Ray Rice
#33 Ranked RB
If we were you, we would bench Rice. Here are the facts: Rice hasn’t scored a TD since Week 11 and before that it was Week 5. He rushed for over 100 yards once this year and that was also in Week 11. New England gives up the 14th most fantasy points to opposing RBs. There is nothing that makes us feel warm and fuzzy about Rice in the fantasy playoffs. Bench Him!
Joe Flacco
#21 Ranked QB
Flacco is not your guy this week. Don’t risk it for him. BENCH HIM!
