Bengals' Joe Flacco: Expected to start Week 9
Flacco (shoulder) remains listed as questionable but is expected to start Sunday against the Bears, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Flacco has been working through a sprained AC joint in his throwing shoulder, which he sustained during the Bengals' Week 8 loss to the Jets. Though Flacco was contained to just one limited practice this week, the Bengals had optimism that the veteran quarterback would be ready to go for the Week 9 matchup, and he appears to have made enough progress since sitting out Friday's session to put himself on a path to play Sunday. Assuming Flacco is formally cleared ahead of Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, his presence should boost the fantasy prospects of all of the Bengals' pass catchers, though there's a chance he's less effective than usual due to the injury.
