Who Should I Start? Joe Flacco or Daniel Jones

Friday, October 10, 10:01 AM

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said on Wednesday that veteran quarterback Joe Flacco, whom the team acquired in a trade from the division-rival Cleveland Browns, will make his debut and start on Sunday at the Green Bay Packers in Week 6. This will now be the second time this season Flacco will go up against this Packer defense, but this time with a different team in Ohio. For the most part, Flacco has not played well enough in 2025 to be rostered in any league formats, averaging 7.9 fantasy points per game, and has no rushing upside; however, the playmakers on the offensive side of the ball, primarily Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, are much more explosive and proven in the NFL than the pass-catchers Flacco was throwing to for the Browns. Regardless, the offensive line for the Bengals is a mess, and Flacco is nothing more than a stash in superflex or two-quarterback leagues for now.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones has been playing inspired football through the first five weeks of the season. The veteran has thrown for 1,290 yards, six touchdowns, and two interceptions while adding three rushing touchdowns thus far. He will look to stay hot in a Week 6 home matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals have been good on defense this season, allowing just the 28th-most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks through five games. That being said, the Colts' offense has been firing on all cylinders this season, and Jones has earned the trust of fantasy managers who have him rostered. He sets up as a low-end QB1 heading into Week 6.
