Ray Rice, Baltimore Ravens Poised for a Big Fantasy Day

NFL stars have feasted on the Indianapolis Colts this year. The Colts have given up the eighth-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this year, the fourth-most points to quarterbacks and the third-most points to opposing running backs.

This week, the Colts travel to Baltimore to face one of the best teams in the league. The Colts defensive woes should continue, much to the delight of Ray Rice's fantasy owners. Here is a rundown of how the Ravens' offensive players should produce against the Colts.

Quarterback Joe Flacco probably won't get an opportunity to throw the football much. The Ravens have proven that they operate best when they run the football, and with the Colts struggling to stop the run, Flacco will have an easy day of handing the ball off.

He shouldn't kill you with interceptions, but I wouldn't expect him to light up the stat sheet—200 yards and a touchdown would be an optimistic forecast for Flacco.

Ray Rice, on the other hand, should put up huge numbers. After a 29-point outburst last week in PPR scoring, the Ravens are poised to continuously hand him the ball against a poor run defense.

The Ravens' huge offensive line should dominate the Colts' undersized front seven, and I'd expect no less than 100 yards out of Ray Rice. He could easily score multiple touchdowns as well.

Wide receivers tend to go as their quarterbacks go, and with Flacco expected to have a quiet day, Anquan Boldin and Torrey Smith probably shouldn't be on anyone's fantasy radar. One of them might score a stray touchdown, but with only 13 total touchdown passes from Flacco this year, that's not something worth betting on.

Ed Dickson, though, could have a big game, as Flacco gets more and more comfortable with his young tight end. Flacco has looked Dickson's way on many important downs this year, and if anyone on the Ravens can put up decent receiving totals, it's probably Dickson, especially in PPR leagues.

Finally, the Ravens defense can look forward to feasting on Dan Orlovsky and a mediocre offensive line. Turnovers and sacks should be plentiful.

Anyone who has Ravens players on their fantasy roster should look forward to this game, especially Rice owners. As for those of you with Colts on your fantasy roster, better luck next week.
