Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Flacco, the team's No. 1 pick in this year's draft, gets the nod over veteran Kyle Boller, out with an injured shoulder, and Troy Smith, the second-year pro who has battled a tonsil infection the last week. The 18th overall selection from Delaware started the final two preseason games for the Ravens and appeared to get more comfortable with each snap. ... Meanwhile, the Ravens are said to be working out Chris Simms (among others) for a reserve role.
