Joe Flacco News
Tuesday, March 24, 2:03 PM
Veteran quarterback Joe Flacco reached an agreement on an undisclosed one-year deal on Tuesday to re-sign with the Cincinnati Bengals, his agents told Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. Flacco will return to Cincy for a 19th NFL season after spending time with both the Bengals and Cleveland Browns in 2025. The 41-year-old veteran began the year as the starter in Cleveland, but he was traded to the Bengals after four starts to fill in for the injured Joe Burrow. Flacco became a streaming QB in fantasy formats after landing in Cincy, as he threw for 1,664 yards, 13 touchdowns, and four interceptions in nine games (six starts) after the trade. Despite his age, Flacco has proved in recent seasons that he still has a little magic left in the tank as a backup signal-caller. Burrow continues to be hampered by injuries in his career, so if he misses more time in 2026, Flacco will be called to the rescue again and could once again be worth picking up off the waiver wire for QB-needy fantasy managers.

Geno Smith News
Thursday, June 18, 8:41 AM
With the 2026 season now just a few months away, veteran quarterback Geno Smith appears likely to open the year as the QB for the New York Jets. Smith had a disastrous year as a member of the Las Vegas Raiders in 2025, completing 67.4% of his pass attempts for 3,025 yards, 19 touchdowns, and 17 interceptions across 15 games. The 35-year-old averaged just 6.8 yards per pass attempt and also took a league-leading 55 sacks despite missing two games. While the Jets were one of the worst offenses in the NFL last season, the team should get a healthier season out of star wideout Garrett Wilson and also added wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. and tight end Kenyon Sadiq in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft. New York should also put a much better offensive line in front of Smith than the line he played with in Las Vegas in 2025. Smith's dynasty upside is limited at this point in his career, but he could be worth buying low on as a depth option for dynasty contenders ahead of 2026.
