The Cleveland Browns will visit the Baltimore Ravens in Week 2. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding QB Joe Flacco.

Should You Start or Sit Joe Flacco in Week 2?
The Browns are going to be trailing (this week and most of the season), so I doubt Week 1 was the last time we get a crazy volume game from their QB (45 attempts against the Bengals).
But as is the case with all of these pocket passers, there just aren’t many ways to weasel into the top-12 producers at the position for any given week.
Flacco completed 31 passes and didn’t sniff lineups in a week where scoring was down across the board. He’s a pro and capable of getting Cleveland’s pass catchers home, but when it comes to value himself, you can do better.
