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.

Jacoby Brissett News
Thursday, September 10, 8:24 AM
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler thinks that Arizona Cardinals veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett could be a midseason trade candidate if he plays well, but the Cardinals struggle to win. Brissett surprised a lot of people last year when he averaged 280.5 passing yards per start over 12 games when he took over for the injured Kyler Murray, but that was also in old offensive coordinator Drew Petzing's scheme with a completely different coaching staff. If the aforementioned scenario happens and Brissett is traded away at midseason, it would open a path for the Cardinals to see what they have in Carson Beck, a third-rounder back in April. The 33-year-old Brissett threw for a career-high 3,366 yards, 23 touchdowns, and eight interceptions in 14 games (12 starts) last year. He has strong receiving options in Marvin Harrison Jr., Michael Wilson, and Trey McBride, but the overwhelming consensus is that new head coach Mike LaFleur's offense will be more balanced in 2026, making Brissett a regression candidate in terms of his fantasy value in his 11th year in the NFL.
