Joe Flacco 2009 Fantasy Analysis
Career Synopsis: Joe Flacco beat his fantasy projection last year. His best fantasy QB ranking was #19 in 2008. Player Consistency: Joe Flacco was one of the top 10 most consistent QBs last year (ranked 6), and he was also one of the top 10 most consistent players overall (ranked 7). Career Experience Outlook: Flacco is entering his 2nd year in the NFL. Over the past 15 years, on average, QBs in their 2nd year have seen an increase in fantasy pts per game of 2.99 from their 1st year. Position Outlook: Last year Flacco averaged 0.13 fantasy pts per game less than the league QB average. The average fantasy pts per game by QBs in 2008 was 14.57. Depth Chart Change: No Change in Depth Chart. Player Turnover: At the Wide Receiver position: Mark Clayton (2008 Avg: 4.72 Pts/Game) has been added to the starting lineup. Along the Offenisve Line: Chris Chester is no longer starting, Willie Anderson and Jason Brown have left the team, Marshal Yanda is now starting and Matt Birk and Michael Oher have been added to the starting lineup. At the Kicker position: Steven Hauschka (2008 Avg: 0.38 Pts/Game) is now starting. Schedule Difficulty: Based on winning percentage the teams on the schedule Flacco playes this year (91 - 116 - 1 0.440%) will be more difficult compared to the teams on the schedule from last season (88 - 119 - 1 0.425%), and last season's teams gave up more points (5,002) compared to this season's teams (4,747) so this could mean less fantasy points. Performance Against Sub 500 Teams: Flacco had a lower fantasy avg (15.45 pts/game) against winning teams last year compared to teams with a losing record (20.45 pts/game), so with a more difficult schedule for the upcoming season it could also be an indication of less points. Defenses: From a defensive standpoint, Flacco will face defenses that are stronger this year (Avg. Total Yards Against Ranking: 18.85 - 3 Top 10 Defenses and 2 Top 5 Defenses) compared to last season (Avg. Total Yards Against Ranking: 19.69 - 3 Top 10 Defenses and 2 Top 5 Defenses), and last season's teams gave up more passing yards (217 yds/game including 3 Top 10 Defenses and 2 Top 5 Defenses) compared to this season's teams (213 yds/game including 3 Top 10 Defenses and 2 Top 5 Defenses). Starting Position Performance against Defenses: Starting Quarterbacks averaged more points (15.72 pts/game) against last season's teams compared to this season's teams (15.11 pts/game), which could make it difficult for Flacco to match last year's fantasy point total.
