The Baltimore Ravens left little doubt Thursday with a 40-0 victory over the Miami Dolphins at M&T Bank Stadium, and fantasy players with members of the victors on their team were celebrating.
Running back Alex Collins and wide receiver Jeremy Maclin rewarded those who started them, but the same cannot be said of the Dolphins' combination of Jay Ajayi and Jarvis Landry. Miami's offensive go-to players turned in disappearing acts and put fantasy players in an early hole entering the meat of the Week 8 schedule.
Here is a fantasy breakdown for some of Thursday's primary players.
Alex Collins Shows Flashes
Collins had zero touchdowns and zero catches this season entering Thursday's contest, so it's not as if he's been a fantasy superstar.
However, he outgained Javorius Allen 113-55 and saw more carries with 18 to 17. Jamey Eisenberg of CBS Sports called for even more carries for the Arkansas product:
Collins has been seeing more of those opportunities as of late considering he had single-digit carries in each of the first three games this year but double digits in the last four. He also posted 5.9 yards per carry on the season before Thursday's impressive totals, so he is taking advantage of his chances.
Dave Richard of CBS Sports foreshadowed welcome news for those looking for Collins to finally find the end zone:
It's not as if Allen or a healthy Terrance West are dominant forces blocking Collins from emerging as the primary back. Collins is worth flex consideration moving forward as he continues to see more carries, especially behind an offensive line Football Outsiders ranked as the seventh-best run-blocking unit before Thursday's contest.
Jeremy Maclin Finds the End Zone
Fantasy players with Maclin have been waiting for a breakout showing this year, and he provided the opening touchdown with a 34-yard reception and three catches for 53 yards:
Mike Wallace led Baltimore in receiving yards entering Thursday's game but was out with a concussion, per Edward Lee of the Baltimore Sun. The setback elevated Maclin's role, and he delivered as a dangerous deep threat, as ESPN Stats & Info illustrated:
Maclin caught a touchdown in each of the first two games but averaged just 25.75 yards per game in his previous four contests. He hasn't resembled the player who topped 1,000 receiving yards two straight years in 2014 and 2015 for the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs.
As with most receivers, Maclin's long-term fantasy viability is directly tied to the availability of his quarterback. The Ravens announced Joe Flacco suffered a concussion after a vicious hit from Kiko Alonso.
Given Flacco's status and Maclin's lack of production this season, the receiver isn't worth starting in the immediate future but is still someone to hold onto with the hopes Thursday's touchdown was a sign of things to come.
Dolphins Playmakers Missing in Action
Ajayi never had a chance in Thursday's contest.
Football Outsiders ranks the Dolphins offensive line 28th in the league in run blocking, and Miami fell behind early and never had the opportunity to establish the run. Ajayi finished with 13 carries for 23 yards as well as four catches for 18 yards on four targets, and Mike Clay of ESPN placed the blame for the lackluster showing on the offensive line:
As for Landry (five catches for 33 yards), it is easy to point to the absence of Jay Cuter for Thursday's issues. That is especially the case since he still saw 12 targets.
Cutler was out with cracked ribs, but Adam Schefter of ESPN reported he's expected to return for the Dolphins' next contest against the Oakland Raiders. Given Matt Moore's performance (25-of-44 for 176 yards and two pick-sixes), it will be a welcome return for fantasy players with Landry.
Kevin Patra of NFL.com pointed out how poorly things went for Landry with Moore under center:
These are still two marquee players considering Ajayi had 1,272 rushing yards last year and Landry topped 1,100 receiving yards in each of the last two seasons. Drastic actions like cutting either are not recommended, but they are no longer automatic starts for those fantasy players with wide receiver and running back depth considering the Dolphins offensive problems.

The NFL continuously reminds anyone willing to listen that player safety is the league's top priority, yet the actions of its officials represent that it isn't a priority at all.
Twenty-seven days after Chicago Bears linebacker Danny Trevathan received a suspension for a vicious helmet-to-helmet hit to Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams, the league must explain why Miami Dolphins linebacker Kiko Alonso wasn't ejected for a similar hit Thursday night on Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco.
With 3:13 remaining in the second quarter of a 40-0 victory, Flacco rolled to his right on 3rd-and-10. None of his receivers worked their way open, and the 6'6", 245-pound signal-caller lumbered toward a first down. Alonso bore down on Flacco with the intent to stop him from converting a first down.
The quarterback made the decision to start his slide two-to-three yards short of the marker. Alonso didn't let up and still blasted Flacco, per CBS Sports' Will Brinson:
The Ravens organization immediately placed Flacco into the concussion protocol and at halftime ruled him out for the rest of contest.
It was a needless, awful hit, which begs the question: Why wasn't it considered a flagrant foul, thus warranting an automatic ejection?
Alonso received an unnecessary roughness penalty, but he stayed in the contest and finished second on the Dolphins with five tackles.
Two arguments are being made in the linebacker's favor. First, the speed of the game makes it nearly impossible to redirect once a defender is in motion. Second, Flacco slid late.
Neither is true, as the Glenwood Post Independent's Josh Carney illustrated with an in-game screen capture:
Yes, the game is played at breakneck speed. No one denies how fast athletes are at the NFL level. However, defenders are taught to make a decision on whether to hit a quarterback within a one-to-two-step radius. It's often the difference between a sack or a late hit. Split decisions like these are made all the time.
Nearly four yards separated Flacco and Alonso when the quarterback started his slide. Alonso already made up his mind to hit him instead of pulling up short.
Intent existed in Alonso's hit, as former NFL lineman and SiriusXM NFL Radio's Ross Tucker noted:
The linebacker didn't try to tackle the quarterback. He intended to blow Flacco up upon contact. It's why he led with his shoulder and forearm instead of trying to wrap up his target.
Similar arguments were made in Trevathan's favor. The linebacker couldn't pull up in time nor account for Adams' lowering his helmet level. The officials decided not to call a flagrant foul for his hit, either.
Yet the league in its infinite wisdom suspended the Bears defender after the fact.
This sends a mixed message. Either these hits are suspendable acts, and thus need to be called flagrant on the field, or they're not. They can't be both. Again, Tucker serves as the voice of reason:
Issues exist due to the subjectivity found within the rule. As stated when assessing Trevathan's hit, the league's competition committee approved automatic ejections for "egregious" hits to the head in March, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
How does the NFL define an "egregious" hit to the head and why isn't it a reviewable play? Of course, replay doesn't take into account speed of the game and makes any hit look worse when viewed frame by frame. But it's still better to get all the camera angles than just one look in real time.
The NFL couldn't even respond without a day to prepare a statement. Senior vice president of officiating Al Riveron "will not have a comment tonight," per CBS sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson during the telecast.
The "I know it when I see it" approach isn't working, though, especially when a quarterback is involved.
Sure, everyone gets a dig in at Flacco's expense every now and then. But quarterbacks are still the league's most precious commodities and can't have their heads taken off when they slide.
Bleacher Report's Mike Freeman posed an interesting question regarding the situation:
The question is rhetorical because everyone knows the answer.
Certain star quarterbacks are protected far more than others. There's a reason the "Brady rule" exists. For those who have never heard of the Brady rule, it prevents defenders from going low on a quarterback's legs. The league enacted said rule after Tom Brady suffered a season-ending knee injury during the New England Patriots' 2008 opener against the Kansas City Chiefs.
The league's response will be as predictable as it is pathetic.
Alonso will be suspended. The NFL Players Association will argue the hit wasn't called flagrant during the contest, and the suspension will be reduced, just as Trevathan's suspension was shortened from two games to one. Meanwhile, the league won't clarify its stance on flagrant fouls and continue to discuss how the players' safety remains of utmost importance.
Nothing of substance actually occurs.
Getting serious and sending a message to players willing to take shots against a defenseless quarterback remains in the league's best interest. The NFL should act accordingly by better defining its flagrant foul parameters and suspending Alonso for more than one contest.

The Baltimore Ravens earned an important 40-0 home win over the Miami Dolphins on Thursday night at M&T Bank Stadium.
Baltimore had dropped four of its last five games before beating the Dolphins. Should the Pittsburgh Steelers lose Sunday to the Detroit Lions, the Ravens (4-4) would climb to within a game of first place in the AFC North.
The Dolphins, meanwhile, slipped to a full game behind the New England Patriots in the race for the AFC East crown after falling to 4-3.
The Ravens may have won, but it came at a cost as the team confirmed starting quarterback Joe Flacco entered the NFL's concussion protocol in the second quarter after starting the game 10-of-15 for 101 yards and a touchdown.
On a 3rd-and-10 at the Dolphins' 20-yard line with 3:14 left in the first half, Flacco tucked the ball and attempted to run for the first down. As Flacco was in the process of sliding, Dolphins linebacker Kiko Alonso hit Flacco high, knocking his helmet off.
Ravens offensive lineman Ryan Jensen shoved Alonso in retaliation, which sparked a minor scuffle between the teams. Ravens head coach John Harbaugh also exchanged words with Alonso.
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas understood any anger Ravens players might have had after the hit:
Officials flagged Alonso for unnecessary roughness, and he remained in the game. ESPN.com's Bill Barnwell and CBSSports.com's Jason La Canfora questioned whether that went far enough:
Flacco's injury overshadowed an otherwise excellent first half from the Ravens. They held the Dolphins to 87 total yards and averaged nearly three more yards per play (5.6) than Miami (2.7).
Jeremy Maclin caught his third touchdown of the year, which eclipsed his total from 2016. At the 8:25 mark of the first quarter, Flacco threaded the needle to find Maclin for a 34-yard touchdown pass. The NFL shared a replay of the score:
Three plays after Flacco's exit in the second quarter, Mallett also threw his second touchdown pass of the year when he hit Benjamin Watson in the end zone from two yards out to help put Baltimore ahead 20-0:
In a worrying sign for the Ravens, the offense ground to a halt once Flacco left the game. Baltimore's first three drives ended in two punts and a missed field goal.
C.J. Mosley's pick-six in the fourth quarter gave the Ravens their first points of the second half, and they added another touchdown when Chris Moore recovered Javorius Allen's fumble in the end zone. Jimmy Smith capped off Baltimore's scoring with the defense's second pick-six of the game.
Mallett finished 3-of-7 for 20 yards and a touchdown.
Alex Collins provided a source of optimism in running for 113 yards on 18 carries. Collins' rushing total nearly matched his entire rookie season's with the Seattle Seahawks (125 yards). The Ravens signed Collins shortly after Seattle waived him in September.
NFL.com's Gregg Rosenthal and CBSSports.com's Jamey Eisenberg wondered whether the Seahawks are regretting that decision:
Should Flacco's concussion rule him out for Baltimore's Week 9 matchup with the Tennessee Titans, the Ravens will need Collins to be a workhorse once again.
While the focus was on Flacco, the Dolphins have offensive issues of their own, as Matt Moore struggled while filling in for an injured Jay Cutler (ribs). Moore was 25-of-44 for 176 yards and two interceptions.
Jay Ajayi gained 23 yards on 13 carries.
Entering the game, Miami ranked 29th in offensive efficiency, per Football Outsiders. Thursday's contest showed that Cutler shouldn't shoulder all of the blame for the offense's problems.
Miami was held scoreless in the first half for the fourth time this year, which NFL Research put into perspective:
The Miami Herald's Barry Jackson noted the Dolphins' lopsided scoring margin through their first seven games:
Thursday's defeat doesn't throw the Dolphins' playoff hopes into oblivion, but it's hard to see how they can maintain their postseason push without significant improvement from their offense.
The Denver Broncos won a Super Bowl in 2015 despite having a below-average offense. Unlike the Broncos, Miami doesn't have a defense that ranks among the league's best. Football Outsiders lists the Dolphins as 22nd in defensive efficiency.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Thursday the Dolphins expect to have Cutler back for their Week 9 matchup with the Oakland Raiders.
Cutler's return alone won't cure what ails Miami. The extra days the team's coaching staff has to prepare for Oakland could allow for tweaks to the scheme that break the Dolphins out of their offensive funk.

Baltimore Ravens backup Ryan Mallett is primed for a turn in the spotlight after Joe Flacco was ruled out with a concussion during his Week 8 game against the Miami Dolphins.
It's the second time in three seasons Mallett has been thrust into a prominent role under center. In 2015, the Arkansas product drew a pair of starts in place of Flacco after the franchise quarterback suffered a season-ending ACL tear.
During those spot starts, Mallett completed 59.8 percent of his passes for 566 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions.
As those numbers indicate, Mallett isn't exactly a candidate to stuff the stat sheet—especially when his primary targets are Jeremy Maclin and Breshad Perriman. Mike Wallace might be available in later games but missed Thursday's game with a concussion.
When it comes to Mallett's fantasy outlook, expectations should be tempered.
While he may be able to hold things down for head coach John Harbaugh and rattle off a win or two with some efficient passing chops, Mallett shouldn't be deserving of consideration for starting responsibilities in fantasy.
Rather, owners who were depending on Flacco before his injury should shift their attention to the waiver wire and scan available candidates who have more explosive playmakers at their disposal.
Alternatives may not be much more appealing than Mallett at this point, but the combination of Baltimore's pedestrian receiving corps and Mallet's general dearth of starting experience makes him a hard sell for starting fantasy gigs.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco was forced out of Thursday's game against the Miami Dolphins after taking a hard hit to the head from linebacker Kiko Alonso in the second quarter.
The team later announced he was ruled out of the game with a concussion. Per the CBS broadcast, Flacco also needed stitches for a cut on his ear sustained during the play.
The hit came while Flacco was sliding at the end of a scramble, leading to a 15-yard penalty against the Dolphins for unnecessary roughness.
Many thought there should be more discipline:
Several Ravens players came to the defense of their quarterback in what became a scuffle, including center Ryan Jensen and Dolphins tackle Ndamukong Suh. There were no ejections, though further punishment could be coming from the league office.
Flacco missed the start of training camp and the entire preseason due to a back injury, but he had been relatively healthy throughout his career before that. In his first nine years, the quarterback completed a full 16-game season in eight of them.
His only missed time came in 2015 when a knee injury cut short his season after 10 games.
When healthy, Flacco has had great moments, most notably winning Super Bowl MVP after the 2012 season. He also set a new career high with 4,317 passing yards last year. On the other hand, he has struggled with consistency and has only finished two years with a quarterback rating above 90.
His 70 quarterback rating entering the day would be a career low for a season.
Still, the Ravens are better with the 32-year-old in the lineup due to the lack of depth behind him.
Ryan Mallett, who has just a 66.1 career quarterback rating, is the next option for Baltimore under center. If Flacco's injury keeps him out for an extended period, the organization might have to look for outside help.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Mike Wallace suffered a concussion in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings.
The Ravens announced he would be out for the remainder of the game.
Wallace was leveled on a big hit from Andrew Sendejo, which ended up drawing a flag for unneceessary roughness.
Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports described the aftermath of the injury:
Following a disappointing 2015 season with the Minnesota Vikings, Wallace had a bounce-back year with the Ravens in 2016. He caught 72 passes for 1,017 yards and four touchdowns.
Still, it was a step below the heights Wallace reached during his prime years with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Football Outsiders ranked him as the 47th-best wideout in DYAR (defense-adjusted yards above replacement).
That's not to diminish Wallace's importance in Baltimore's passing game. The Ravens signed Jeremy Maclin in the offseason, but Maclin missed four games in 2016 and finished with career lows almost across the board (44 receptions, 536 yards and two touchdowns).
With Maclin already out, Michael Campanaro and Griff Whalen have been forced to step up for the Ravens.
