NFL>Baltimore Ravens
When I first heard the news that Anquan Boldin was heading to the Ravens, my first thought was, "Time to drop him from my fantasy team". But after looking at this a little more closely, I think I was way off on my initial assessment. First off, Baltimore quietly had a decent offensive year last year. Flacco was just outside the top 10 for attempts, completions, yards and TD's, and he threw fewer INT's than Both Mannings, Schaub, Matt Ryan, Warner, Palmer and Brady. And Flacco had arguably the worst receiving corps of all of those QB's.
Now give Joe a stud WR like Boldin and I think that both these guys put up some numbers in 2010. Baltimore had the #5 rushing offense last year and there is no reason to think that they slip in the off-season. A great running game helps the passing game and I think 2010 sees the Ravens with a top 10 passing offense with Boldin leading the way.
Also, should the Ravens keep Derrick Mason, then this offense really could be special. Keep this in mind for this passing offense next year. Boldin was a top 10 WR for yards after catch last year (and he was hurt). Flacco was a 63% passer in 2009. when you combine these two things you will have a very exciting combo in 2010.
My prediction for 2010
Flacco - 4,300 yards, 26 TD's 10 INTS
Boldin - 1,200 yards, 9 TD's
