The Facts:
In a somewhat surprising move for a 9-4 playoff-bound team and with just three games left in the regular season, the Baltimore Ravens fired offensive coordinator Cam Cameron after five seasons. In-season coaching shake ups are uncharacteristic of the Ravens organization under owner Steve Biscotti and General Manager Ozzie Newsome. Former Indianapolis head coach and current Ravens quarterbacks coach Jim Caldwell will take Cameron's place. Caldwell has never been a coordinator in his 35-year career. Baltimore is currently ranked ninth in scoring and 18th in total yardage in the league.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Looking at Cameron's dismissal from a fantasy perspective, quarterback Joe Flacco has thrown for fewer than 200 yards in three of the last four games and six times this season. In Sunday's loss to the Redskins, Flacco completed 16-of-21 passes for 182 yards and three scores--efficient to say the least. Ray Rice's fantasy owners have been complaining that he isn't getting the same number of touches in 2012 that he had last season where he rushed 291 times and caught 76 balls. Rice has 218 rushing attempts and 52 passes through 13 games in 2012. Jim Caldwell's first game in his new coordinator role will be at home Sunday against Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos.
