Joe Flacco, Ravens – 81
Joe Flacco at an 81 is another head scratcher. Yes, Flacco’s 20/15 (TDs to INTs) is a little ugly, but who was Joe Flacco throwing the ball to last season? Journeyman Mike Wallace was his best option and he’s ideally a number 2 or 3 WR on a good team. Benjamin Watson was supposed to come and help alleviate the load from the aging Dennis Pitta, but was injured prior to the start of the season. Despite all of this, Flacco still managed to put up over 4.3k passing yards, good for 7th in the league and way higher than the likes of many players that were rated higher than him.
With the return of Watson and the addition of Jeremy Maclin from Kansas City, we fully expect Flacco to dramatically improve his statistics from last season and make his 81 overall Madden 18 rating look silly.
