Starting QB Joe Flacco out for Ravens. Journeyman Ryan Mallett gets the start and will play extensively. He is likely playing for his career as Colin Kaepernick will likely take his roster spot if Mallett flops again. He is a player who melts under pressure and I expect little production from him.

Redskins WR Jamison Crowder, who has 67 catches last year, is out. Skins TE Jordan Reed, who had 66 receptions last year, 87 in 2015, is also out. Often-injured WR Josh Doctson was having a great camp, but is also out for Washington. Washington will be thinned at positions to catch the ball. This game should be very low scoring.
