Joe Flacco

The Cleveland Browns signed quarterback Joe Flacco to a one-year, $4 million deal on Friday.

Fantasy Impact

The deal includes incentives that could push the contract up to the $13 million range. Flacco spent some time with the Browns at the end of the 2023 season before playing for the Colts in 2024. The veteran signal-caller has a good shot at opening the season as Cleveland’s starter, although he will have to fend off Kenny Pickett. The Browns could also potentially add a quarterback in the NFL draft at the end of April.

Joe Flacco had a meeting with the Giants on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

The Giants are set to meet with Russell Wilson on Friday. It remains unclear if they will sign a veteran, draft a quarterback or potentially do both.

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.
