Who Should I Start? Joe Flacco or Jacoby Brissett

Monday, November 10, 10:12 PM

Since taking over as the Cincinnati Bengals' starting quarterback in Week 6, Joe Flacco has put up gaudy statistics. Across four starts, Flacco has thrown for 1,254 yards, 11 touchdowns, and two interceptions. The Bengals opened up quarterback Joe Burrow's (toe) 21-day Injured Reserve activation window on Monday, but Burrow is reportedly targeting Thanksgiving as a return date. A Thanksgiving return for Burrow would give Flacco two more starts under center in Cincinnati, starting with a trip to Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers in Week 11. Flacco torched Pittsburgh back in Week 7, throwing for 342 yards and three touchdowns. In fantasy leagues where Flacco may have been dropped during Cincinnati's Week 10 bye, he could be worth adding as a low-end QB1 option in Week 11.

The Arizona Cardinals were blown out on the road 44-22 by the division-rival Seattle Seahawks in Week 10, but veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett was able to rack up yardage and throw two more touchdowns for fantasy managers in two-QB leagues on Sunday. Brissett finished the day 22-for-44 passing for 258 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions while adding four carries for an additional 31 yards on the ground. The 32-year-old was sacked five times for a loss of 52 yards. Seattle went up 35-0 in the first half, so all of Brissett's fantasy production on Sunday was basically in garbage time. Brissett's 258 passing yards were actually his fewest in his four starts with Kyler Murray (foot) injured, but he's now thrown eight touchdowns and only one pick in his time as Arizona's starter. He'll be in play as a QB2 again in another divisional matchup in Week 11 against the San Francisco 49ers. With Murray now on Injured Reserve, Brissett is guaranteed to make at least three more starts.
