For a minute there, Flacco had us thinking that he had bounced back to the "good Flacco." After posting back-to-back 350-plus passing yard games against the Oakland Raiders and Cincinnati Bengals (while throwing four touchdowns against two interceptions), Flacco fell backwards in Week 4. He threw for just 189 yards, with one touchdown and one interception.
This has always been the issue with Flacco-- he's wildly inconsistent. While he did play without Steve Smith in the loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 4, Flacco needs to find a way to keep his numbers up. Smith's status remains unknown for Sunday against the Cleveland Browns, but it's obviously pretty unlikely that fantasy players want to give Flacco the benefit of the doubt after last week, especially without his top receiver.
We aren't going to throw in the towel on Flacco's entire season or anything, but for right now, he's trending in the wrong direction and gives us plenty of reason to be concerned. He's had just as many strong games in 2015 as he's had bad games to this point, which is never good. Just keep Flacco on your radar and hope that you have better options until he can establish some positive consistency.
