Who Should I Start? Joe Flacco or Daniel Jones

Saturday, October 25, 10:19 AM

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Flacco looked good in the narrow win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 7. He would go on to finish that one by throwing for 342 yards and three touchdowns off 31-for-47 passing. With the Bengals sitting at a 3-4 through the first seven weeks of the 2025 campaign, the team will look to get to .500 with a victory over the Jets. New York is still currently searching for a win. Although the Jets lost three of their seven contests by two points, it's safe to say the club has some work to do moving forward. New York will be without Sauce Gardner (concussion), which isn't good news. To make matters worse, Garrett Wilson (knee) has also been ruled out, while Breece Hall (knee), Mason Taylor (quadriceps), Josh Reynolds (hip), and Tyrod Taylor (knee) are questionable. With that in mind, Flacco was already an attractive fantasy commodity in any format based on the matchup alone. However, considering the number of ailing quarterbacks around the National Football League and six teams getting the week off, the signal-caller can be started in nearly all fantasy setups.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones continued his bounce-back season in a Week 7 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, throwing for 288 yards and two touchdowns. Jones has been impressive this season, passing for 1,790 yards, 10 touchdowns, and three interceptions while adding four rushing touchdowns. He will look to keep it going at home in Week 8 against the Tennessee Titans. The Titans have been tough on quarterbacks this season, allowing just the 25th-most fantasy points per game to the position thus far, although some of that comes from a weak Titans offense that doesn't challenge opposing passing offenses to keep their foot on the gas. At the helm at what has been a dominant offense this season, Jones is a locked-in QB1 heading into Week 8 against Tennessee.
