Ravens | Joe Flacco has mental hurdle

Baltimore Ravens QB Joe Flacco (knee) doesn’t have a problem with running or cutting or doing anything physically in his recovery from a torn anterior cruciate ligament. Flacco’s main test is facing the thoughts of getting hit again. ‘I don’t expect to have those kinds of thoughts linger in my head,’ Flacco said. ‘But you never know until you get out there and do it again.’ Flacco is expected to be ready to go for training camp.

Footballguys View: We’ll all be watching to see how Flacco responds under pressure…and especially after he gets hit. He’s cool under fire, and Flacco only has to overcome the mental part of his recovery. When he takes a hit and the knee feels okay, Flacco will be the QB he’s used to being. Fantasy owners should consider him a low-end QB2. His current ADP is QB25 (14.08) in 12-team PPR leagues.
