Who Should I Start? Joe Flacco or Case Keenum

Sunday, October 26, 9:23 AM

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Flacco has momentum on his side as he prepares for a favorable Week 8 matchup against the New York Jets. Flacco is coming off one of his best games in recent memory, completing 31 passes for 342 yards and three touchdowns while surrendering zero turnovers. He looks like a completely different quarterback than the Flacco who was benched by the Browns and subsequently traded just a few weeks ago. While we don't expect the veteran to replicate last week's line every game, it was encouraging to see him break out because it confirms that he's at least capable of throwing the football effectively while limiting turnovers. It also provided optimism for fantasy managers with Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. The 40-year-old is on track to have another productive game against the 0-7 Jets, who have allowed the ninth-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks despite having a secondary anchored by Sauce Gardner. Flacco is a mid-range fantasy QB2 with legitimate QB1 upside.

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.
