Joe Flacco to Make Bengals Debut and Start in Week 6

Wednesday, October 8, 1:34 PM

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that veteran quarterback Joe Flacco, whom the team acquired in a trade from the division-rival Cleveland Browns this week, will make his debut and start on Sunday at the Green Bay Packers in Week 6, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. The Bengals are benching Jake Browning after he tossed three more interceptions in the Week 5 loss to the Detroit Lions. Cincy plans to lean heavily on Flacco to try and keep their playoff hopes alive, with Joe Burrow (toe) potentially out for the rest of the season. Flacco will once again be in play as a low-end QB2 streamer in superflex fantasy leagues, and he should have more upside now that he'll be throwing to receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. However, the 40-year-old might not end up being much of an upgrade over Browning after he threw two touchdowns and six picks in four starts with Cleveland before being benched by rookie Dillon Gabriel.

Bo Nix Has Decent Day in Defeating Philadelphia Eagles

Monday, October 6, 6:13 PM

Denver Broncos Quarterback Bo Nix had a solid outing in which he faced the undefeated reigning Super Bowl Champion Eagles on Sunday. While he ended the day with the win after showing impressive game management to close the comeback window on Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and company, he completed 61.5% of passes for 242 yards and a touchdown while rushing for 22 yards on three attempts in Sunday's 21-17 win. There was quite a bit of duress in the pocket as Nix was sacked twice, but he showed good poise in clutch moments down the stretch. This should inject confidence in him as he will face the New York Jets in Week 6, who just gave up four touchdowns through the air to the Dallas Cowboys.
