Joe Flacco Will Start On Sunday Night Football In Week 9

Tuesday, October 29, 3:02 PM

The Indianapolis Colts have named veteran quarterback Joe Flacco the starter for the Week 9 game against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday Night Football. This move comes after the continuous struggles of second-year quarterback Anthony Richardson despite the belief that he would take time to develop as a raw prospect out of the 2023 draft class. Through Richardson's first 10 starts, he has compiled a 5-5 record while completing just 50.2% of his passes for 1,535 yards, seven touchdowns, and eight interceptions. Flacco led the Cleveland Browns to the playoffs in 2023 and has the chance to do the same for Indy in 2024. Flacco has appeared in four games this season, throwing for 716 yards, seven touchdowns, and one interception. He is now a must-add fantasy option in two-QB and Superflex leagues. His return to the starting lineup should provide a boost for wideouts Josh Downs and Michael Pittman Jr.

Quentin Johnston Doubtful Again

Friday, October 25, 8:50 PM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston (ankle) is listed as doubtful for the second consecutive game ahead of the team's Week 8 matchup. Johnston sustained an ankle injury during LA's 23-16 loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 6. He then went on to log five straight DNPs before being upgraded to limited on Friday. Despite the improvement, there appears still to be a lack of confidence in his health. With fellow wideouts Derius Davis (hamstring) and Ladd McConkey (hip) deemed doubtful and questionable, respectively, the Chargers could be a bit short-staffed when they host the visiting New Orleans Saints this Sunday. Simi Fehoko, Joshua Palmer, and Brenden Rice are currently the only wide receivers not to carry a designation.
