Who Should I Start? Joe Flacco or Daniel Jones

Saturday, November 15, 12:23 PM

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Flacco (shoulder) didn't practice on Wednesday and Friday (limited on Thursday) due to a nagging right shoulder injury. Fortunately, it won't be enough to keep him off the field for the Week 11 AFC North clash with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Flacco spent over a decade with the Baltimore Ravens, so he's quite familiar with Sunday's opponent. However, despite numerous encounters with the Steelers over the years, Flacco's most recent showing against the team back in Week 7 was arguably his best, with the signal-caller throwing for 342 yards and three touchdowns off 31-for-47 passing. He has played at an elevated level since first suiting up for the Bengals, so expectations remain high. With that said, Flacco is surrounded by a quality supporting cast, at least on the offensive side of the ball, giving him plenty of credibility as a starting fantasy option in any format for Sunday's anticipated high-scoring affair.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones completed 19 of 26 pass attempts for 255 yards, one touchdown, and one interception during Sunday's Week 10 win against the Atlanta Falcons in overtime in Berlin. He also had 53 rushing yards on seven carries. Most of Indianapolis' scoring came from Jonathan Taylor on the ground Sunday, but Jones still made an impact by facilitating scoring drives and adding one touchdown through the air. He'll remain a mid-to-low fantasy QB1 on the other side of the Week 11 bye, with most of his fantasy value hinging on exactly how much Taylor gets involved.
