Who Should I Start? Joe Flacco or Gardner Minshew

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.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Gardner Minshew completed seven of nine passes (78%) for 70 yards and a touchdown in the 16-33 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Minshew found Robert Tonyan in the back of the endzone on a rollout for an easy score. It was a nice sign to see for Chiefs fans, knowing they have a capable backup behind Patrick Mahomes. That said, Minshew will not have any fantasy value this season unless Mahomes gets injured.
