Joe Flacco
QB - Indianapolis Colts
This Week Outlook
Availability
Joe Flacco completed 23-of-40 passes for 264 yards and a touchdown in the Colts 26-23 win over the Jaguars.
Fantasy Impact
Flacco signed a one-year deal last offseason with the Colts. He made a handful of starts throughout the season in the absence of Anthony Richardson who was both benched as well as missing some time due to injuries. It is unclear if he will be playing another season or not.
Joe Flacco is set to be Indianapolis' starting quarterback again in Week 18.
Fantasy Impact
The Colts have ruled out Anthony Richardson for Sunday's game due to a back injury, which means that Flacco will once again be getting the start for the Colts. They have already been eliminated from playoff contention, so it remains to be seen how much they will have their starters play in a meaningless game against the Jaguars.
Joe Flacco completed 26-of-38 passes for 330 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions in the Colts 45-33 loss against the Giants.
Fantasy Impact
It was a nightmare game for the Colts who needed the win to stay in the playoff hunt and the Giants needed to lose to keep the No. 1 pick. He was forced to throw a lot as the Colts trailed just about the entire game. Anthony Richardson will likely start in Week 18 if he is healthy.
The Colts have benched QB Joe Flacco and will have Anthony Richardson start in Week 11.
Fantasy Impact
Flacco will return to the backup role after struggling in his last two starts. Head coach Shane Steichen stated that Richardson is expected to remain the starter for the remainder of the season.
Joe Flacco will start in Week 11's matchup against the New York Jets.
Fantasy Impact
Flacco will remain Indianapolis' starter for Week 11 against the Jets. The veteran threw three interceptions in a loss to the Bills in Week 10, but the team will continue to give him time to settle in before considering benching him. Him starting is good news for the fantasy value of players like Michael Pittman Jr. (back/finger) and Josh Downs on Sunday.
