The Facts:
In his first media session of training camp, OC Cam Cameron said Flacco has added 10 pounds this season and is at "the best starting point since he's been here." Cameron was impressed that Flacco gained the extra weight -- "it was his choice" -- and strength. "He's as sharp starting off as I've ever seen him," Cameron said.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
While the kind words from his coach have to be pleasing, it's not as if Flacco needs anything more to motivate him. He's clearly heading into the 2011 season with a major chip on his shoulder -- in part due to a perceived lack of respect. His perspective is understandable. Flacco has averaged more than 3,400 a season during his three-year career and has improved his touchdown count (and touchdown to interception ratio) year to year. The Ravens appear to be trying to do their part by adding some speed on the outside. Bottom line? Flacco's not a sexy pick and most likely not a front-line Fantasy starter at this point; but all the tools are there to become one.
