The veteran quarterback once again attempted over 40 passes in a game and used the volume to produce both NFL and fantasy value. Flacco completed 27 of 42 passes for 368 yards and three touchdowns with two interceptions, finishing the game with 26.8 fantasy points. It marked the fourth straight game Flacco threw at least two touchdowns and his third straight performance with over 300 yards).

Yes, Flacco will have a challenge against the Jets' defense in Week 17, but the team’s passing volume with him at the helm is just too good to ignore. Even in a difficult matchup, Flacco should attempt enough throws to remain fantasy-relevant and have streaming upside for fantasy managers who might not feel comfortable with their QB options in championship matchups.
