Baltimore Ravens – Fantasy Forecast – Week 14
Minnesota Vikings 3-8-1 at Baltimore Ravens 6-6
Play ‘Em If You Got ‘Em
Joe Flacco
#25 Ranked QB
It’s not often that you will hear me say this, but this week Joe Flacco is a top ten QB. The author of this write-up disagrees with his ranking. He will go up against the Vikings, who give up the most fantasy points to opposing QBs, including 22 points to a back-up QB last week. The best way to stop Adrian Peterson from having a huge day against your defense is to score a lot of points quickly and force the Vikings to use their pathetic passing game to beat you. It’s playoffs people!
Torrey Smith
#10 Ranked WR
6 catches, 93 yards and a TD… now that’s a Thanksgiving feast! Smith will continue to deliver for fantasy owners this week against the Vikings who allow the 5th most fantasy points to WRs. Alshon Jeffery torched the Vikings last week for 249 yards and two TDs. Now it is Torrey’s turn.
Justin Tucker
#1 Ranked Kicker
Just for fun, a list of people Tucker outscored last week: Jamal Charles, Calvin Johnson, LeSean McCoy, and Alfred Morris. Kickers do matter.
Gut Calls
Ray Rice
#16 Ranked RB
Rice has had a rough year to date, but he could see a few goal line carries this week. Vikings give up the 3rd most fantasy points to opposing RBs. Plus, if the Ravens get up early he could see some nice garbage time. If there was ever a week to roll the dice with Rice, this would be it.
Bench Warmers
The Vikings are pretty bad. Play everyone!
