NFL Daily Fantasy Sports Week 17 Sit: Joe Flacco

Despite a -13 line favoring Baltimore and a “must win” scenario, the NFL Daily Fantasy Sports experts are mostly advising to sit Ravens QB Joe Flacco this week.

The reason: Cleveland’s stifling play against the pass.

The Draftkings Playbook notes:

They (the Browns) allow the fifth fewest fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks (13.1), and have held quarterbacks under 300 passing yards in all but two games this season. The Browns have surrendered 20 touchdowns, but have also intercepted the ball 21 times. Flacco has scored fewer than 14 points in four of his last six games. He faced the Browns in Week 3 and struggled against them. He threw for 217 yards, one touchdown, and one interception.

His price tag is decent and this might attract those anticipating a standout performance from Flacco especially in light of the problems in Cleveland heading into Week 17, including the Josh Gordon suspension and Johnny Manziel’s injury.
