Joe Flacco News

Joe Flacco Reaches Agreement to Return to Bengals

Tuesday, March 24, 2:03 PM

Veteran quarterback Joe Flacco reached an agreement on an undisclosed one-year deal on Tuesday to re-sign with the Cincinnati Bengals, his agents told Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. Flacco will return to Cincy for a 19th NFL season after spending time with both the Bengals and Cleveland Browns in 2025. The 41-year-old veteran began the year as the starter in Cleveland, but he was traded to the Bengals after four starts to fill in for the injured Joe Burrow. Flacco became a streaming QB in fantasy formats after landing in Cincy, as he threw for 1,664 yards, 13 touchdowns, and four interceptions in nine games (six starts) after the trade. Despite his age, Flacco has proved in recent seasons that he still has a little magic left in the tank as a backup signal-caller. Burrow continues to be hampered by injuries in his career, so if he misses more time in 2026, Flacco will be called to the rescue again and could once again be worth picking up off the waiver wire for QB-needy fantasy managers.

Caleb Williams News

The Sky is the Limit for Caleb Williams in Second Season with Ben Johnson

Tuesday, April 7, 5:39 AM

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams finished his second professional season as the QB5 despite failing to reach 4,000 passing yards or even a 60% completion rate. Heading into year two under the tutelage of head coach Ben Johnson, if Williams can clean up some of the details that have plagued his young career, he has the natural ability and tools to become a fantasy league winner. Rome Odunze, Luther Burden III, and tight end Colston Loveland represent one of the best young groups of pass catchers in the league, and for all of Williams' highlight-worthy improvisation, he's done a remarkable job of keeping the ball out of harm's way, accounting for 50 career touchdowns to only 13 interceptions and 19 total turnovers. While the sample size is small and imprecise, Jared Goff finished as QB10 in his second season with the Lions (his first with Johnson at offensive coordinator) before reeling off consecutive top-7 finishes. Williams is currently RotoBaller's QB5 in dynasty rankings, so any meaningful leap could land him among the fantasy elite.
