ANALYSIS: Joe Flacco has been producing in some areas but not others. He’s thrown for at least 298 yards in half of his starts this season, yet only has five touchdown passes to show for it. His touchdown numbers should catch up at some point, and that could happen in Week 7 when the Ravens take on the Jets and their swiss cheese defense.

The Jets’ defense is no longer one to avoid at all costs, as Gang Green’s defense has been susceptible to huge passing plays all season long. With Flacco’s big arm, it’s easy to envision Mike Wallace catching monster passes all day. The Jets are allowing 303 yards through the air per game, ranking 31st in the NFL. To add more misery to their numbers, in Weeks 2 through 5 they allowed three out of the four quarterbacks they faced to put up at least 23.86 fantasy points. It may be weird to say, but Darrelle Revis and the Jets have become a defense to target every single week for fantasy purposes.
