Fantasy Impact:
The details of the trade have yet to been released, as the trade cannot become official until the new league year begins on March 13th. But the fallout of this trade suggests that Case Keenum's immediate future with the team is in jeopardy. You'd also have to think the Broncos are going to get some sort of compensation for taking on Flacco's contract, which has over $60 million on it over the next three years, though there is an out in the contract after the 2019 which would only cost an $8 million cap hit. There has been speculation on whether the Broncos will select a quarterback in this year's draft, though this move doesn't make much sense, as Keenum was well-suited to be a one-year stop-gap. As for Courtland Sutton and DaeSean Hamilton, this move doesn't raise their stock. If anything, it would negatively impact their dynasty stock, because it suggests the Broncos may not be selecting their future quarterback in this draft.
