Joe Flacco and the Ravens are concentrating on using the no-huddle offense. We break down the fantasy implications.
The Baltimore Ravens plan to use the no-huddle offense more often in 2012 to increase the pace and hopefully catch defenses off guard. Joe Flacco already loves the idea of the hurry-up strategy.
Analysis: This will be an ongoing project for the Ravens. They ran with this plan in their first preseason game, but things didn't go as smoothly as they hoped. While Flacco finished 9 of 12 for 88 yards and a touchdown, they still failed to get a single first down in the first quarter, and the offensive line was well out of sync on several occasions.
If they can settle down in the no-huddle, Flacco's fantasy stock could see a boost. He has plenty of weapons to pick apart a defense out of position. Torrey Smith is a burner on the outside who would thrive off this type of situation. For now, though, protecting Flacco in this offense is key.
