Joe Flacco News
Saturday, June 20, 5:14 AM
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Flacco began his 2025 campaign with the Cleveland Browns, and through four starts, he threw six interceptions to only two touchdowns, scored fewer than 5.3 fantasy points per game, and looked as if his time in the NFL was coming to an end. Following a rare in-division mid-season trade, he started six games for the Bengals in place of an injured Joe Burrow and immediately became a viable fantasy option while elevating the entire Cincinnati offense. He finished as the QB7 or better in three of those games, and in signing a one-year deal this offseason to return to the Bengals, he remains a must-roster backup in superflex dynasty leagues and raises the floor of receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, as well as running back Chase Brown. With Joe Burrow RotoBaller's QB5 for 2026, any appearance by Flacco still represents a worst-case scenario, but at 41 years old, the 19-year veteran is more than capable of preventing a complete bottoming out if called into action.

Daniel Jones News
Friday, July 10, 4:22 PM
When asked about his recovery from a torn Achilles tendon suffered on Dec. 7 of last year, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones said on Friday that he's "doing everything," according to James Boyd of The Athletic. "Cleared to do everything. I think it's just about, at this point, sharpening that," Jones said. When asked if he still thinks about his Achilles, he said, "You're still thinking about it. I think (you) probably will until you get playing." The Colts are expected to ease the 29-year-old signal-caller in at the start of training camp later this month, but head coach Sean Steichen expects Jones to participate in 11-on-11 drills sooner rather than later. Barring a setback in camp or the preseason, Jones figures to be ready for Week 1 of the 2026 regular season as he looks to run it back after a strong first season in Indy in 2025. The Colts gave him a two-year, $88 million deal this offseason despite his Achilles injury. Jones stabilized the Colts' offense last year, but coming off a major injury and losing receiver Michael Pittman Jr. should have fantasy managers concerned in two-QB superflex formats. Alec Pierce could also be unavailable for the start of the year due to having offseason ankle surgery. RotoBaller has Jones ranked as the No. 24 fantasy QB for 2026.
