Flacco will have the greatest season of his career. Last year, his longest pass went for 50 yards. That is very non Flacco-like. He is used to getting the ball deep down the field and in 2014, when his longest pass went for 80 yards. Now Flacco has Perriman, Wallace and Chris Moore to throw to. They all have game-breaking speed.

Prediction for Flacco’s Stats

  • 4,300 yards passing
  • 35 TDs
  • 10 INTs
  • 62% Completion Percentage

Flacco was on pace to have his highest completion percentage ever as a pro last season at 64.4%. That is absolutely nothing to sneeze at.

His offensive line will also have Stanley and Lewis, two rookies who have great talent. This brings me to my next prediction.
