Who Should I Start? Joe Flacco or Jacoby Brissett

Friday, November 21, 4:17 PM

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Flacco (shoulder) was a full participant in Friday's practice session and has been cleared from the injury report ahead of Sunday's matchup against the New England Patriots, according to the team's website. It's unclear if Flacco will be the starter or return to a backup role with Joe Burrow (toe) practicing in full on Wednesday and Thursday this week, but he was limited on Friday and is officially listed as questionable for Sunday. The 40-year-old Flacco has filled in admirably for the star quarterback, totaling 2,268 passing yards, 14 touchdowns, and nine interceptions in five games as a starter, ranking as QB4 in fantasy points per game (22.1) since Week 6. Flacco could wind up making one more start in Week 12 if Burrow can't go and the Bengals hold him out until he is fully cleared.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett played his way into the NFL record books for most completions in a regular-season game (47) during Week 11 against the San Francisco 49ers. After a historic performance, the 32-year-old veteran enters Week 12 as RotoBaller's 10th overall-ranked quarterback in a favorable matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars at home. The Jaguars' defense has allowed the 10th-most passing yards, the fifth-most passing touchdowns, and recorded the third-fewest sacks this season. He should have plenty of time in the pocket to pick apart a vulnerable Jaguars secondary and continue stuffing the stat sheet. Since taking over the offense, Brissett has averaged over 40 passing attempts per game and has taken the Cardinals' passing game to the next level. Brissett should be comfortably inserted into lineups as a QB1 playing in a high-volume passing attack against a struggling defense.
