Who Should I Start? Joe Flacco or Case Keenum

Monday, November 3, 11:41 AM

Despite falling to the Chicago Bears 47-42, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Flacco lit it up again in Week 9, further solidifying his case to be a weekly option for fantasy managers. The University of Delaware product has been otherworldly since the Browns flipped him to Cincinnati. Over that four-game stretch, Flacco has accrued 1,254 passing yards (313.5 p/g) and an 11:2 TD:INT ratio across a 64.7% completion rate. Cincinnati has unfortunately dropped three of those four contests, but the veteran has been excellent for fantasy. Since Week 6, Flacco has racked up a scintillating 25.4 fantasy points per outing, with only the Chargers' Justin Herbert ahead of him (25.9). As it stands, fantasy managers could do worse than the 40-year-old as a streaming option. Furthermore, he's justifying becoming an every-week starter. Cincinnati will take on the Steelers again in Week 10. Flacco torched them a few weeks back for 342 passing yards and three scores.

Chicago Bears quarterback Case Keenum (leg) has made the 53-man roster and will open 2025 as the team's third-string signal-caller. Keenum has been dealing with a minor leg injury this month, but it won't be enough to keep him off the roster. The well-traveled 37-year-old joined the Bears in free agency in April after a second stint with the Houston Texans. He didn't play at all last year after suffering a foot injury and hasn't attempted 100-plus passes in a season since 2019, which he spent with Washington. With Caleb Williams entrenched as QB1 and Tyson Bagent locked into the No. 2 role, Keenum shouldn't see any meaningful action this season unless things go catastrophically wrong for the Bears.
