Fantasy Impact:

The Broncos have announced that Brandon Allen will start in place of Flacco this week, but it's not clear who will be under center when the team returns from its Week 10 bye. Rookie second-rounder Drew Lock is under consideration, but he would need to be activated from IR. For Flacco, while the injury isn't reported to be career-threatening, he has likely taken his last snap as the Broncos' starting quarterback.
